2028 helpless
“Do you remember what Elf said? The current Hall is his Hall.”
Elizabeth's words stung George coldly and sharply - this was not the Hall that belonged to Renly, this should be the Hall that belonged to George. His emotions completely exploded, but after the explosion, Elizabeth still calmed him down again. Come down and explain all the ins and outs：
Renly was always a "Hall", whether he liked it or not, and whether he accepted it or not, he was always the younger son of George and Elizabeth.
Once, Renly was the stain on House Hall; now, Renly is the crown of House Hall. George and Elizabeth can make full use of this fact, even if Renly is furious, it will not help, because they will always be Renly's father and father. Mother, this is a fate that cannot be broken. In the past, this bond was a stumbling block for them, and they could not get rid of it despite their best efforts; now, the position has been reversed, and they can make full use of this bond and rebuild it. Reach the top ranks of the nobility.
“Imagine if the Queen really appeared in London's West End to watch his performance, and we were in his box, does this mean we can meet the Queen? Just relying on your power, or my power, do you think it is possible for us to meet the queen in this life?？”
“Even if it is not the West End of London, at the investiture ceremony, we may meet the Prince of Wales or the Duke of Cambridge; also, when attending a grand event such as a royal wedding, our positions may be completely different. Have you never realized this?？”
“If he is really knighted, then a double knighthood will not threaten your position, but will make the name of Hall shine even more, just like those real large hereditary noble families, the more glory, This means that the family emblem shines brighter.”
“Don't be like children, we should fully seize this opportunity and create more possibilities.”
If possible, Elizabeth also doesn't want Renly to be awarded a medal - because every time Renly creates history, it proves her mistakes: it proves their original narrow-mindedness and coldness, and it also proves their original ignorance and conservatism. She could even feel the ridicule and ridicule behind her all the time..
But now things are irreversible, and Renly is out of their control. Even without the award, the miracles Renly has created around the world are stinging their self-esteem and pride - look at Elf's choice, Look at Sisyphus Pictures and Don Quixote Channel, look at the global box office of "Interstellar", every minute and every second, Renly's existence is proving their original failure. In this case, why not fully Use it？
Elizabeth is equally angry, equally scared, and equally panicked, but the difference between her and George is that she won't be like a child clamoring for differences, but never really think about the solution. She can still control it. Find a way out of your own emotions.
“He can't get rid of us? " George asked.
“It's like we couldn't get rid of him at first, and now it's his turn to have a headache." Elizabeth replied..
In the end, George was convinced by Elizabeth, and he could still think of those words in his mind, "Imagine those jealous eyes, having to control themselves in front of us, but cursing us behind our backs, but these only exposed their jealousy and envy, That kind of villain attitude is already a complete loss..”
Now, what Elizabeth said is becoming reality one by one. As long as you imagine the jealous and complaining words in the smoking room, George's spine will become more and more straight; if you also imagine Renly's angry but helpless expression, George My mood took on wings and flew into the sky. Even the sparse sunlight outside the window became bright and dazzling..
Standing where he was, George held his head high and held his head high as the gazes around him made him hold his head high. He always maintained a polite smile and assumed a humble posture, but in a low-key manner..
After the doorman entered, he appeared again only for a moment, "Sir Hall, Madam invites you in.".”
George gestured with his jaw, waited for the doorman to open the door, and then stepped in. He could clearly feel the eyes being cast on him one after another. The envious eyes were mixed with a little eagerness, and some people could even be seen ready to make a move, seeming to be hesitating. How to say hello.
Those eyes and gestures were what he was before. Even as a noble, he still needed to please those big shots; but now, he has become the focus of those envious eyes, and he has become a big shot in everyone's mouth, with burning and restless gazes. Feels slightly hot on the skin surface.
Although he didn't show it, he still maintained his calmness and seemed unmoved at all; but his steps were slightly slower than usual, as if he was walking on a red carpet, enjoying the aura brought by those eyes. and glory, as if the whole world was crawling at his feet.
Under the guidance of the manager on duty, he found Elizabeth sitting in the corner. George showed a bright smile, "Why don't you choose a seat by the window? The sun is out now.".”
Choosing to lean against the window or against the wall, the Halls have also experienced a lot of struggle over the years. When Renly was still silent, they chose to lean against the window, openly declaring that they were the masters of the family; when Renly rose strongly, they chose Lean against the wall to avoid public scrutiny as much as possible; now, when Renly is about to be knighted by the Queen, leaning against the window is obviously a better choice.
“Charlie." George raised his hand to signal to the manager on duty, preparing to change positions..
But Elizabeth stopped George and said to the duty manager who was returning, "Sir Hall needs a glass of brandy, thank you." She obviously enjoyed the seat against the wall more, which seemed to be the seat she specially selected..
The manager on duty didn't ask any questions, took a step back politely, turned around and left..
George was slightly surprised, but in the end he did not refute, "I just drank half a glass of whiskey, and I need to go back to the bank in the afternoon. If you drink brandy again, you know this is inappropriate. What happened? Everyone is watching now. We, if we had chosen the location here, who knows what they would have guessed; so what if I showed up at the bank tipsy in the afternoon and the royal family canceled the investiture.？”
Elizabeth picked up the brandy in front of her, took a sip without saying anything, "I know, I'm not a child who hasn't grown up yet, and I don't need you to remind me of this.".”
The waiter came over with the brandy, placed it in front of George, and then stepped away again.
Elizabeth then said, "He has decided to refuse to accept the award." There was no warning or foreshadowing, and the result was stated straightforwardly..
“……”George froze on the spot, unable to turn his thoughts around. He just stared at Elizabeth blankly. The first sentence that came to his mind was, "How dare he?"？”
The corners of Elizabeth's mouth raised slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile, "Why doesn't he dare? This is not the first time, and it won't be the last time. Why, don't you understand him yet? He just tries every means to do it. He wants to torture us, he just doesn't want to see us happy, he just wants to watch us fall into hell! He is so cruel and cold-blooded, just like you, it proves that he is also a Hall, doesn't he?？”
“Elizabeth, watch your words." George's voice suddenly became colder, but his violent and raging temper could not be suppressed. He picked up the brandy and poured it into his stomach, forcing himself to calm down, but , the right hand holding the wine glass tightly still cannot relax.
“Here, another glass of brandy, no, whiskey, no, double." George gestured to the waiter - without emphasizing the brand name, that's because they are all regulars at the club and have their own regular drinking alcohol here. A bottle of wine that was exclusive to him. After the double whiskey was delivered, George raised his head and poured all the whiskey into his stomach in one gulp. The burning and scalding stomach only allowed him to regain consciousness for a moment..
George stared at Elizabeth in front of him. He didn't even know whether he was angry or disappointed, fearful or frustrated. All the emotions surged up in one head, making it impossible to distinguish. He just felt the bitterness in his mouth, which was so spicy that it left his tongue and throat. They were all swollen, no sound could be made, and the brain seemed to have stopped functioning..
“What's going on? "George finally found his voice, held back a "How" and asked for the specific situation. In fact, what he really wanted to ask was "true or false", because he still couldn't believe it. Renly chose to refuse to accept the award..
Elizabeth carefully played with the wine glass in her hand, "I called Matthew and invited him to come to the art exhibition..”
“Why Matthew? George didn't know why, "I think it's more appropriate to choose Andre. Matthew and he have always been in the same camp. It's absolutely impossible for him to betray him. Andre is the one who can break through.".”
“No, Andre cannot convince him. Even if Andre makes a promise to us, he has no way to fulfill it. To be more precise, he may not fulfill it. He is a businessman, a cunning businessman. You Don’t forget, even Alexander is willing to believe him. Andre is basically a chess piece in his hands. Therefore, Andre is not reliable at all. How could a cold-blooded animal like him change because of Andre? ? Elizabeth saw it more clearly, "Matthew is the breakthrough.".”
“But we have no way to convince Matthew." George shook his head and denied, "It is better to find Eton, Eton is just a soft-eared kid..”
“If you are sure that your method is correct, then you implement it yourself, why should I do it? "Elizabeth didn't want to continue the argument, so she said crisply. Although she had gradually calmed down, her irritability was still rising because of George's words..
George did not continue to speak..
Elizabeth then continued, "Matthew told me his decision..”
