“you dare！”
George scolded him sternly, but only received Renly's silent provocation. All his attacks were in vain, making him look like a embarrassed clown..
George was a little angry and had only one impulse in his mind: wave his hand and slap him. He really, really wanted to slap Renly hard. All etiquette, all reason, and all masks were all thrown away. His only thought was I want to break the smile under that face.
But the calmness and tenacity in those eyes were so cold that it made George become smaller. His hands were clenched into fists, but he did not have the courage to lift them up after all..
“I should have strangled you to death in your infancy." George heard his own voice sounding cold and biting in his ears..
The smile on Renly's lips rose slightly, as if he was not surprised at all: I guess so, but unfortunately, you missed the opportunity. He could have directly provoked him back like this, and then witnessed the scene of George exploding directly, but...he didn't , because such a small fight is really no fun at all. He doesn't want to continue to be entangled with them. Everything is meaningless, right? They are passers-by from now on.
“So, is there anything else?？”
This was Renly's last reaction. He simply ignored George's words and then politely and distantly opened a gap between them..
Elizabeth noticed Renly's condescension, and she felt her throat was a little itchy: family card, woman card, mother card, etc., all kinds of complicated thoughts were surging in her mind, she could still fight back, She can still make full use of her advantages, but she always feels that none of her thoughts can escape Renly's eyes. No matter what she says, it will only make herself more embarrassed in the end..
It's as if... it's as if Renly deliberately left a blank time to allow them to speak, to use their methods, to let them struggle to death, but no matter what they said, the ending would not change. Renly was waiting for them She fought back with such calmness that she felt palpitations.
If she were not a noble, maybe she could roll around here and force Renly to submit in a rogue way - the best way to deal with a noble is to be unreasonable, the more primitive, rough and savage, the more effective it is; but Such thoughts surged in Elizabeth's mind for a moment, but eventually they were extinguished. She fell into a deep fear and was unable to extricate herself..
Fear Renly.
It seemed that she had never understood her little son. He was so strange and alienated, so cold and so decisive, and the fear deep in her heart began to surge..
Elizabeth didn't speak, and George didn't know what to say. Under Renly's gaze, they couldn't speak, and just let time pass by slowly..
Renly seemed to have anticipated such a situation. He waited for a moment, then nodded politely, then turned around and left..
what to do？
what should they do？
When Renly left, the attention of the audience disappeared like a tide, but George and Elizabeth knew that their every move was under "monitoring", and any slightest disturbance would determine the direction of subsequent events. They must think twice now Move backward, don’t act rashly.
Elizabeth had anticipated such an outcome deep down in her heart - she just didn't expect Renly's way of handling it, but no matter what, the deal was done, and she had to make plans for the future now. She would not surrender, but she would not fight head-on either. After all, Renly now has full wings..
Elizabeth straightened her back slightly, not pretending to be weak or aggrieved, but showing a stronger look, and then walked out of the cloakroom area, leaving George alone behind her, smiling at the guests coming and going. Nodding, occasionally stopping to say a few brief greetings, he left the Garrick Club unhurriedly..
Calm, calm, strong, wise, gentle, elegant.
Elizabeth's performance was a bit surprising. She did not clumsily show her grievances, but showed all the excellent qualities of a woman. She was not embarrassed at all, but instead attracted people's attention. The light that bloomed was invisible. sparking more empathy.
Through Elizabeth's performance, it is not difficult for people to imagine a story：
Elizabeth decided to lower her profile and come to the Garrick Club to reconcile with Renly. Although there had been countless grievances in the past, she finally decided to put aside her prejudice and stubbornness, and came shamelessly to extend an olive branch even without an invitation. As a result, But because of George's outburst of temper and Renly's stubbornness, she failed to succeed. In the end, Elizabeth had to defend the Hall family's reputation alone..
Look, what a great woman. She did not accuse Renly of being cold-blooded, nor did she accuse George of being violent. Instead, she shouldered all the heavy responsibilities on her own shoulders. Even if she was alone, she could become strong and fight in this world full of swords and swords. In the world of shadows, create a world！
Really smart people know that things are definitely not that simple. How can the entanglements within the Hall family be explained so easily?？
But the truly smart people also know that Elizabeth's performance is not unskilled. She drew a clear line with Renly and George with just one move, cut through the mess quickly to stop the loss, and then established the image of a woman who "struggles alone". At the same time, He can also effectively use Renly's aura to truly establish his own independent image. In the future, he can break out alone and start a new life on the ruins..
what does this mean？
To put it simply, Elizabeth, like Renly, "separated" from the Hall family, just like a gecko with its tail cut off. She put all the responsibility and fault on George. She also became a victim-but she did not " Pretend to be the victim and instead build your life back strong.
This "female image" is very common in contemporary Western society and is highly respected. In the future, as long as Elizabeth no longer provokes Renly, she believes that Renly will not kill them all; and she can also use "Elizabeth-Howe" to With the name "Er" and the residual influence of Renly's halo, if the positioning is accurate, her gallery can also create a new world - even completely get rid of the shadow attached to Renly's halo, and reverse the past few years in one fell swoop. Time has become frustrating and boring, and I have a career of my own..
So, does it sound familiar?？
Edith is like this, Arthur is like this, Elf is like this...and now, Elizabeth is like this too. Although the methods are ugly and despicable, at least they have all embarked on their own path in their own way - just like Like Renly, the Hall family fell apart completely after all..
At the end of the twists and turns, Elizabeth was the smart one. She thought further than George, played a better chess game, and successfully got rid of herself..
George was unable to keep up with Elizabeth's speed, and stared dumbfoundedly at Elizabeth's leaving figure. By the time he realized Elizabeth's plan, he was already trapped in a dilemma where he could not argue. What should he do? What else could he do? He has nowhere to escape.
He has no choice：
As a gentleman, a gentleman who was educated by a hereditary noble, he must not reveal his vulnerability, not under any circumstances, cannot be weak, cannot shrink, cannot be afraid, cannot lose his temper... and cannot shed tears or surrender, he He must bear all the pressure alone, because he is burdened with the reputation of his family and the dignity of a man, and he cannot even call for help..
So, George straightened his back. Even in the face of countless scorching and sharp gazes, he still showed his perfect gentleman's manners and walked out of the Garrick Club. He was obviously kicked out, but he pretended that he was Those who actively choose to leave are like winners.
The expected encounter did not erupt with the expected sparks, and even ended disappointingly..
At this time, George and Elizabeth truly faced the fact that：
Renly is no longer someone they can compete with, let alone easily manipulated. As long as Renly is willing, he can easily completely isolate them from the social circle, and even kill them all. Any provocative move by them, It may become the catalyst for your own embarrassment..
They can face it, but they cannot accept it. Maybe they will not be able to accept it for the rest of their lives. Their pride as parents and their dignity as nobility do not allow them to accept it; but... what should they do? Or, what else can they do? Some things can never be reversed.
……
Renly didn't pay attention to George and Elizabeth's response until he overheard the rumor later, but he didn't comment and just laughed it off. This was even more so at this time, as Renly and Matthew headed straight towards the showroom. I walked in the direction without stopping or looking back..
Under those probing, scrutinizing, and critical gazes, Renly never flinched and faced all gazes calmly..
For outsiders, they may never understand Renly's act of killing his parents. This is treason and against ethics. They simply see the result.：
Renly forced George and Elizabeth into a corner, and then used his momentum to imprison them; but they refused to examine how the result was led to, and refused to understand the intricacies behind the result, because it was too complicated and too heavy. , they only need to simply "criticize" Renly, and then classify Renly as a cold-blooded animal, which is much easier..
Renly knew the thoughts behind these glances, but he didn't care. He didn't and didn't want to, and he didn't need to explain. This was his life, and no one could tell him what to do.！
They are all from this side, and he is from the other side - at least, he is trying to find the other side, trying to escape the confinement of this side..
So, he won't care.
