The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2064

[2028 at a loss]

“Remember what Elf said? The Hall now belongs to him.”

Elizabeth’s words stinged George coldly and sharply. This is not the Hall of Renly, it should be the Hall of George , his emotions fully erupted, but after the outburst, Elizabeth calmed him down again, explaining all the ins and outs:

Renly was always a “Hall”, whether he liked it or not, whether he accepted it or not, He was always the youngest son of George and Elizabeth.

Once, Renly was the stain of the Halls; now, Renly is the crown of the Halls.

George and Elizabeth could make the most of it, even if Renly was furious, it wouldn’t help, because they will always be Renly’s father and mother, and it was a fate that could not be destroyed. Before this bond was their stumbling block, They tried their best and couldn’t get rid of it; now, the positions were reversed, and they were able to take full advantage of this bond and re-enter the top ranks of the nobility.

“Imagine if the Queen does show up in the West End to watch him play and we’re in his box, does that mean we’ll be able to see the Queen? Just on your strength, or mine? , do you think we might have an audience with the Queen in our lifetime?”

“Even if it’s not the West End, we might meet the Prince of Wales or the Duke of Cambridge at an honorary ceremony; and, at a feast like a royal wedding, we might all be fully seated. Different, didn’t you ever realize it?”

“If he is indeed knighted, then a double knight, it’s not threatening your position, it’s making the name Hall shine even more, Just like those real large hereditary noble families, the more glory, the more shining the family crest.”

“Don’t be like a child, we should make full use of this opportunity and create more possibilities.”

If possible, Elizabeth I also don’t want Renly to be awarded honors, because every time Renly makes history, it proves her mistakes: it proves their narrowness and ruthlessness, and it also proves their ignorance and conservativeness. She can even do it all the time. Feel the ridicule and ridicule behind those.

But now things are irreversible, Renly is out of their control, and even without the awards, the wonders Renly has done 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.

If so, why not take advantage of it?

Elizabeth was just as angry, fearful, flustered, but the difference between her and George was that she didn’t whine like a child, but never really thought about a solution, she was still in control Find a way out of your emotions.

“He can’t get rid of us?” George asked.

“As if we couldn’t get rid of him, now, it’s his turn to have a headache.” Elizabeth replied.

In the end, George was persuaded by Elizabeth, and he could still remember that sentence in his mind, “Imagine those jealous eyes, who had to control themselves in person, but cursed us behind their backs, but these just exposed their jealousy and envy, That kind of villain’s attitude has been completely lost.”

Now, the things Elizabeth said are becoming reality one by one, just imagine the jealousy and ranting words in the smoking room, George’s spine is more upright; if Imagining Ren Li’s frantic but helpless expression again, George’s mood was put on wings, and he flew into the sky, and even the sparse sunlight outside the window became bright and dazzling.

Standing in the same place, the gazes around him made George hold his head high, always maintain a polite smile, and put on a humble gesture, but it was low-key publicity.

After the doorman entered, he reappeared in just a moment, “Sir Hall, Madam invites you in.”

George nodded, waiting for the doorman to open the door, and then stepped in. It was obvious that his eyes were projected. There is a little urgency in the envious eyes, and you can even see some people are just around the corner, seeming to be hesitating how to go up and say hello.

Those eyes and gestures were him before. Even as a nobleman, he still needed to please those big men; but now, he has become the focus of those envious gazes, and he has become a big man in everyone’s mouth, a burning and restless gaze. Slightly hot on the skin surface.

Although he didn’t show it, he still maintained his calmness, as if he was unmoved at all; but his footsteps were a little slower than usual, just like walking on the red carpet, enjoying the halo brought by those eyes. and glory, as if the whole world was crawling at his feet.

Under the leadership of the duty manager, he found Elizabeth sitting near the corner, and George showed a bright smile, “Why don’t you choose a seat by the window? Now the sun is out.”

Choosing to lean against the window or against the wall, the Hall and his wife have also experienced some struggles over the years. When Renly was still silent, they chose to lean against the window and declared themselves the master of the house; when Renly rose strongly, they chose Against the wall, as far as possible from the public eye; now, when Renly is about to be awarded the Queen’s honor, the window is obviously a better choice.

“Charlie.” George raised his hand to the manager on duty, ready to change his position.

But Elizabeth stopped George and said to the returning duty manager, “Sir Hall needs a brandy, thank you.” She apparently enjoyed her seat against the wall more, which seemed to be her choice.

The duty manager didn’t ask any further questions, took a step back politely, and just turned around and left.

George was slightly surprised, but he didn’t refute after all, “I just drank half a glass of whiskey, and I need to go back to the bank in the afternoon. If I drink brandy again, you know it’s inappropriate. What happened? Everyone is watching now. We, who knows what they would have guessed if we had chosen a place here; what if I showed up at the bank slightly drunk in the afternoon and the royal family cancelled the award?”

Elizabeth held up the brandy in front of her, Without saying anything, he took a sip, “I know, I’m not a child who hasn’t grown up yet, and I don’t need you to remind me.” The

waiter came over with the brandy, put it in front of George, and backed away again.

Elizabeth then said, “He decided to refuse to accept the award.” There was no warning or foreshadowing, and she said the result straightly.

“…” George was stunned, unable to turn his thoughts around. He stared at Elizabeth in a daze, and the first sentence that popped into his mind was, “How dare he?”

The corners of Elizabeth’s mouth rose slightly, revealing a mocking smile, “Why doesn’t he dare? This isn’t the first time, and it won’t be the last time. Why, don’t you know him by now? He just tried his best to He wants to torture us, he just doesn’t want to see us happy, he just wants to watch us fall into hell! He’s so cruel, so cold-blooded, just like you, to prove he’s a Hall too, doesn’t he?”

“Elizabeth, pay attention to your words.” George’s voice suddenly became cold, but his irritable and raging temper could not be suppressed. He picked up the brandy and poured it into his stomach, forcing himself to calm down. However, the right hand that was holding the wine glass tightly still couldn’t relax.

“Here, another glass of brandy, no, whiskey, no, double.” George gestured to the waiter, not emphasizing the brand name, that is because they are regular guests of the club, and they have their own regular drinking alcohol here. It was his own bottle of wine. After the double whiskey was delivered, George raised his head and poured all the whisky into his stomach. The scorching and scalding stomach only made him awake for a moment.

George stared at Elizabeth in front of him. He didn’t even know whether he was angry or disappointed, fearful or aggrieved. All his emotions surged up in one head, so that he couldn’t tell. He just felt the bitterness in his mouth, which was so spicy that his tongue and throat were filled with bitterness. All swelled up, no sound came out, and the brain seemed to stop working.

“What’s going on?” George finally found his own voice, choked out a “how”, and asked about the specific situation. In fact, what he really wanted to ask was “true or false”, because he still couldn’t believe it, Renly chose refused to accept the award.

Elizabeth played with the wine glass in her hand carefully, “I called Matthew and invited Matthew to come to the exhibition.”

“Why Matthew?” George didn’t know why, “I thought it was more appropriate to choose Andrea, Matthew and he have always been in the same camp, it is absolutely impossible for him to betray him, and Andre is the one who can break through.”

“No, Andre couldn’t convince him, even if Andre made a promise to us, he couldn’t fulfill it, or to be more precise, he wouldn’t necessarily fulfill it, he’s a businessman, a cunning businessman. Don’t forget, even Alexander is willing to believe him, Andre is basically a chess piece in his hands, so Andre is not reliable at all. How could a cold-blooded animal like him be changed because of Andre What?” Elizabeth saw it more thoroughly, “Matthew is the breakthrough.”

“But we have no way to convince Matthew.” George shook his head in denial.

“If you are sure that your method is correct, then you implement it yourself, why should it be done by me?” Elizabeth did not want to continue arguing, and simply said neatly, although she had gradually calmed down, her irritable mood Still surging because of George’s words.

George did not speak any further.

Elizabeth then said, “Matthew told me his decision.”
