The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2121

[Two thousand eighty-five draw the line]

The Ren Li in front of him was so unfamiliar:

peaceful but cold, indifferent but alienated, elegant but arrogant, with a lofty arrogance bursting out of his bones, invisible like a wall, pushing towards them and putting pressure on them. , The ubiquitous and powerful pressure made them almost breathless, and their emotions could not help but become anxious.

This isn’t the first time George and Elizabeth have confronted Renly, but neither has it been at Eaton Dormer’s private party or that of the Earl of Oxford. And calm, it seems that all connections have been completely cut off.

Love and hatred are a pair of antonyms, like two sides of a coin. No matter how passionately you love, you will hate how fiercely, but only true indifference is a stranger who stands on the opposite side of love and hatred. All love and hatred All have disappeared, so I can face everything in cold blood and cruelty.

That invulnerable indifference hurt George and Elizabeth severely. They were even at a loss. It seemed that all means were completely ineffective, and all the expected situations did not occur. Then they were like fools, bathed in the calmness of Renly. in sight.

George faintly sensed Matthew’s eyes, mixed with ridicule and contempt, which stung his self-esteem, and he couldn’t hold back after all.

“You know what I mean, and I’ll tell you one last time: we’re here for a charity auction, don’t challenge our bottom line.”

Renly felt a little amused, and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, which made George even more Annoyed, “Do you think this is a joke?”

Renly didn’t answer right away, his smile grew brighter, and he said calmly, “I thought you had given an ultimatum that summer five years ago, I never thought that I would have a second chance.”

Five years ago?

Ultimatum?

George didn’t remember at all, and Elizabeth only had a vague impression, but Matthew remembered it very clearly, “Is that the phone call you made the day you auditioned for ‘War in the Pacific’?”

Renly’s eyebrows rose slightly, his eyes filled with a smile, “Oh? Did I tell you?”

“I mentioned it once.” Matthew said lightly, “That day was the beginning of your career, wasn’t it?”

“Ha, I wouldn’t say that, but it’s true in the literal sense.” Renly’s tone remained light throughout, and then he looked back at George and Elizabeth, the gentleman’s smile was always the same, “I guess, you should I don’t remember.”

“However,

This is normal, life is always like this, the superiors can’t remember the details of the orders, because those turning points that affect the life of ordinary people may be just an ordinary moment in the daily life of the superiors, or maybe one of their orders can hurt Too many people that they can’t remember at all.

Only ordinary people can remember every moment as if they were victims – even though they refuse to admit that they are victims.

”

Renly always expressed his views in a calm way, with some ridicule and banter in his words, and the whole person was completely relieved.

Matthew, who was standing next to him, couldn’t stand it anymore, and couldn’t help but complain, “Pretending to be in such a big circle, just to pretend that you are not a victim?

This made Renly chuckle, “I used to be, but not anymore.

”

Unfortunately, I’m about to become the perpetrator, so please allow me to decorate myself with beautiful words. After all, I’m not the guy who was at the mercy of others, right?

Matthew rolled his eyes and said

with his eyes: You’ve never been a guy at the mercy of others, okay?

Renly pretended not to see, turned his head to look at George and Elizabeth, “Sorry, please forgive my rudeness.”

I’m a little carried away with my attitude, I’m really sorry.

”

Renly also seems to think that George and Elizabeth are not ashamed enough, and they use this appropriate way of advancing and retreating to show that they are the superiors – the

real superiors do not care about those trivial gains and losses, but can be broad-minded. Accepting all possibilities, and even showing tolerance in an informal manner. This attitude, which bloomed from the inside out, immediately caused a clear gap between the positions of the two sides.

This is the real Renly!

Facing Harvey -Weinstein, against Chris Evans, against Vin Diesel, against Thomas Tour…Renly never really showed his attacking power, that kind of full-blown aura The momentum can be easily crushed, no swear words or fists are required, and even George and Elizabeth can’t stop it.

What kind of beast did they raise?

What kind of monster did they provoke?

“Where did we just talk about it? Oh, yes, the ultimatum.” Renly nodded lightly with a smile, “I think you need an exact answer too, just like I did, if I didn’t make it clear, I always would. Holding a glimmer of hope, expecting that the family will always be able to maintain the fetters, but obviously, we were all wrong.”

“My ultimatum has been delivered to you through Philip’s resignation, and that is the last time. You hurt Philip, this It’s never going to go away, and I’ll never forget it, remember? I’m a stubborn to a bit paranoid guy, and things are always a little troublesome.”

Renly pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, in a relaxed tone He made a cruel decision, which revealed his cold-blooded more and more—or in the words of aristocrats: maturity, put aside family ties, make the right choice rationally, and give up those unnecessary entanglements and hesitations.

“That’s the way it is now, either things are up to this day and everything is here, then I can pretend that nothing happened; or… let’s see who is the winner at the end , I’m more than happy to fight. I’m ready.” The

literal translation is:

if they’re on their own, then Renly won’t kill them all, even if they try to use Renly’s fame to expand their careers, that’s them ability, because this is family, “Hall” is always a Hall, it takes too much effort to get rid of this relationship completely – hatred, more terrible than any poison, this is not the life that Renly likes Way, he still has his dreams, his performances, his friends to guard, these are more important than hatred.

But if they refused, then Renly was willing to follow through.

At first, George gave Renly an ultimatum, and they cut ties with Renly completely, leaving Renly to fend for themselves in America.

Now, Renly has given George and Elizabeth an ultimatum to draw the line.

He didn’t want to hold on to those grudges in the past, but just hoped to cut off all relationships and leave all the grudges here.

Otherwise…otherwise he is not sure when his attack will stop.

Five years ago, they were a family that was estranged from each other; five years later, they were a family that hated and entangled each other, but the positions of strength and weakness were reversed, and then the story changed dramatically, like reincarnation. Usually, the same scene is played out again.

Matthew lowered his eyes and concealed the sigh in his heart. The words he found in Renly’s room in the early morning reappeared in his mind, “When others return home, I still walk on the road until I reach the other side, Or nothing.” It wasn’t that Renly didn’t want to go home, it was that he couldn’t.

They shouldn’t hurt Philip.

But for George and Elizabeth, they felt the boiling anger surging. They were given an ultimatum by their son, and it was still in public, which was equivalent to a slap in the face. Hot cheeks almost collapsed.

This is a great disgrace!

Because of his anger, George’s body trembled slightly, “What if I say no?”

Renly didn’t say a word, just raised his eyebrows slightly, and met George’s gaze calmly and calmly. The answer, it goes without saying.

Without hesitation or hesitation, without softening or flinching, Renly responded positively.

“How dare you!” George squeezed two words out of his teeth.

Renly couldn’t help laughing a little—because it was absurd, but also because it was ridiculous.

Such scenes are really like children quarreling, “You hit me”, “You hit me”, “Do you dare?” It turned out to be just a bluff, making their confrontation childish and boring.

American media reporters also always like to challenge Renly: How dare you!

But Renly had never been timid, he, why not?

Now facing George asking the same question again, Renly doesn’t even bother to continue these useless verbal disputes. Dare or dare, don’t they have a clue?

The reason why he was willing to talk face-to-face with George and Elizabeth was to make the words clear, and the ultimatum still needed to be made clear. See, it’s that simple.

In fact, today’s charity auction is the starting point: Renly will no longer be passively beaten. He will be fully armed and ready for battle. In the future, he can launch attacks anytime, anywhere. As long as the attack starts, he will not stop and will not die .

He didn’t want blood on his hands, but he didn’t mind either.

Renly didn’t turn around and leave immediately, but stayed where he was, letting the silence spread, which made George’s “you dare” become timid and vain, no need to respond but it was worth a thousand words, invisible, George began to become insignificant, and then Renly took the initiative to meet the gazes of George and Elizabeth, and said with a smile, “So, is there anything else?” The

plain words, but in the deep and calm eyes, have More profound.
