The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2065

[2029 ruthless]

He raised his head and drank the brandy in the cup, but his chest was still cold, bitingly cold. The intricate emotions were gnawing at the skin and flesh inch by inch, and the numb and sharp pain began to spread slowly, but I can’t get rid of it, I can’t even make a move to resist.

Both George and Elizabeth are like trapped beasts, their irritability and anxiety are continuing to roll, rampant, but they can’t find a way to vent.

Before, they did everything they could to get rid of the medal; now, they did everything they could to get the medal.

But the two ideas and the two plans failed to come true. The feeling of powerlessness even surpassed anger and fear, crushing their souls little by little. Sitting quietly in place, I felt the pain of disappearing and falling apart.

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

“There’s no need to bother. What you care about, he will never care; what he cares about, you will never understand. If you really want to take advantage of him, then you should at least show some sincerity instead of taking advantage of it. When it arrives, crammed to find a way. Mrs. Hall, we are not children anymore, we should not be so naive. Otherwise, you can at least let go of each other and leave a little space, he will not kill them all, and you can continue to enjoy With the halo and glory brought by the title of ‘Hall’, we will continue to live in peace.”

These are Matthew’s original words, without a single swear word, the icy words did not even have a trace of waves, but they made Elizabeth tremble with anger, An impulse in my mind wanted to smash the phone directly, but years of literacy still controlled myself, so I didn’t lose my temper on the phone.

Sure enough, Matthew and Renly are the same raccoon dog.

Even thinking about it now, the emotionless words stinged her self-esteem, and Elizabeth couldn’t control her emotions. Her muscles were completely tense under her calm voice; but she didn’t want to be in front of George. Lost in appearance, so he quickly said his final decision, “He has already expressed his rejection by email.” He has

already refused.

It is not under consideration or waiting for negotiation, but outright rejection, leaving no room for manoeuvre.

George never imagined that Renly would be so ruthless, so he chose to reject it so neatly, without even leaving a chance to ease, that kind of astonishment made his emotions surge again; and Elizabeth thought she had thought of it, because Renly is such a cold-blooded guy, but when she got the confirmation from Matthew, she still couldn’t believe that Renly didn’t have any nostalgia for family affection, and didn’t even care about the surname Hall.

Or, Renly was deliberately trying to get revenge on them,

Does this specifically reject the award?

If so, then Renly’s purpose has been achieved.

Now, they are in hell, and every inch of their skin is being tormented by the flames of fire, which is almost unbearable.

Where did things go wrong?

“…Stop him! Stop him! We have to stop him! That damn guy! Royal Mail? Was the invitation rejected by Royal Mail? Let’s get in touch now to stop his mail from returning to the royal family! Just block the mail! ”

George was really furious, and he even slurped a swear word and said nonchalantly – just thirty seconds ago, in the next room, he was baptized with envious gazes; even at this very moment. , All the sights in the afternoon tea room cast an emotion of admiration and worship, and the surface of the skin is slightly hot, but now, the world he built is falling apart, like the end of the world.

Damn.

Damn.

Damn it!

“How?” Elizabeth also hit back, cutting off all of George’s words abruptly. Then she took a deep breath and said, “Let’s face it, now, we are just We are weak, and we have no resistance, we have no choice but to accept.”

“Shut up.” This was George’s response.

George could see that the corners of Elizabeth’s mouth drew a shallow arc, which was not obvious but existed, as if mocking his incompetence and panic, reminding him of Elf’s smile at the Oxford Earl’s Dinner last year. , all the emotions broke through the chest in an instant.

His hands were clenched into fists, his violent anger was roaring, and it was almost, just a little bit, about to erupt directly like a volcano; but at the critical moment, George still controlled himself-because all the sights around him were Looking at them, those envious, jealous, hated eyes are aiming at their every move, any little commotion may become people’s talk after dinner.

He can’t take risks.

Finally, he returned to the sight of the upper class. He couldn’t take risks, and he couldn’t give up.

All the negative emotions rushed up and broke through his brain in an instant. Instead, it calmed him down. There was a hint of sternness in those stern brows, and the shadow of Renly could be faintly seen – but they were different after all. -Hall and Renly Hall have become two very different people, even Arthur Hall is different.

“It’s not over yet,” said George calmly.

Elizabeth disagreed, “It’s over.”

George’s brows sharpened instantly, and he repeated again, “I said, it’s not over yet.”

But Elizabeth didn’t buy it at all, and poured the whole glass of brandy in with her head up. In the throat, “what else can you do? Rush to his side and force him to withdraw his refusal statement? The initiative has never been in our hands.” After speaking, Elizabeth was ready to turn and leave, not wanting to continue entanglement, she still has one more There’s a mess to deal with, and there’s no time to take care of the little ones here –

I didn’t think so before, because George was always strong enough; but since last year’s Oxford Earl’s banquet, disasters and blows have followed, growing up in a greenhouse How has the big George ever faced such a storm, and then he was losing bit by bit, and the mask of dignity and pride was falling apart bit by bit, and it was not even comparable to Elizabeth.

“Yes!” George’s words stopped Elizabeth from leaving, “That’s it!” George’s eyes brightened, “We will go to the United States to find him and ask him to withdraw his refusal statement.”

Elizabeth’s face changed slightly, “You’re crazy!” She looked at George in disbelief. “We just sent a postcard over there, and now you’re going to lose all face and dignity and go straight to the door? Sir George Hall! Yours Has the pride of hereditary aristocracy been abandoned?”

George’s expression also stiffened: sending a blank postcard had already cost them countless energy, and after hesitating and hesitating, they decided to take the initiative to take a step. This step is definitely not that simple; He really lost all face – all the blame for that bastard, if it wasn’t for the fact that the guy was so annoying and completely disrupted all their layouts, he wouldn’t have forgotten his identity impulsively !

But his thoughts only paused, and then George came up with another solution, “We don’t need to come to the door in person, we can send an envoy to persuade him, if he refuses, then we give him a condition that he cannot refuse, then That’s it!”

Elizabeth frowned slightly, “Why? Why should he accept it? He has never been a character at the mercy, and now we have no bargaining chip to make him submit.” But she still did not leave after all. , because she was starting to think about the possibility too—if she could, she would also like Renly to be honored.

“Arthur and Edith.” George’s thoughts became clear, “either a threat or a bait, we can use Arthur and Edith to achieve our goals. He has no weaknesses, but Arthur and Edith are not, you Do you think he can do nothing?” At first they could use the nanny to keep Edith behind, and now they can repeat the same trick; what’s more, Edith’s actor boyfriend also has loopholes all over his body, so they can use it It’s not difficult at all.

“What do you want to do?” Elizabeth’s brows got closer and closer to the center. She faintly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t say why.

George waved his hand gently and said calmly, “Don’t worry, we can’t really hurt Arthur, or Edith. We’re just using them as a lobbyist, convincing him, that’s all. It’s just a way. , a way, don’t imagine things too complicated. Hey! Remember? We never let our hands get bloody, that’s not how we do things, no! What pride do we have, UU reading www. sonicmtl.com must never forget that.”

Elizabeth did not speak, but calmed down and thought for a moment, an inspiration flashed in her mind, “I have a bold idea, maybe, we can let Philip visit him.”

“Philip?” George’s face was full of confusion , don’t understand Elizabeth’s intentions, Philip Demba?

What else can a housekeeper do?

Elizabeth shook her head, with a smile in her smile, “Trust me, Philip’s role may be more effective than you think. If Philip fails, go the route of Arthur and Edith. I have a hunch, Philip can succeed.”

Not for themselves, but for the whole family, for the glory of the surname “Hall,” which Arthur and Edith can understand, and Philip can understand—after all, as long as If Hall can get back on their feet, then their whole family can be great again, can’t they?

Now, there is no way for Renly to reach a consensus with them, but as long as they can complete the communication, then Renly will be on the same side as them.

They have this confidence.

Now, it’s just a matter of establishing a bridge of communication.
