The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2122

[2086 Another 1 side]

“How dare you!”

George scolded sternly, but only got Renly’s silent provocation, and all his attacks were in vain, making him look like an embarrassed clown.

George was a little embarrassed, and there was only one impulse in his mind: wave and slap.

He really, really wanted to slap Renly in the face, all manners, all reason, all masks, and the only thought was to smash the smile under that face. .

But the calmness and tenacity in those eyes were so cold that George became small, his hands clenched into fists, but he didn’t have the courage to lift them up after all.

“I should have strangled you in the swaddling clothes.” George heard his own voice ringing in his ears.

The smile at the corner of Renly’s mouth rose slightly, as if not surprised at all: I guess so, but unfortunately, you missed your chance.

He could directly provoke him like this, and then witness the scene of George exploding directly on the spot, but… he didn’t, because this kind of petty play was really no fun at all, he didn’t want to continue to entangle with them, everything was gone Makes sense, doesn’t it?

They have been passersby ever since.

“So, is there anything else?”

was Renly’s last reaction, ignoring George’s words in a sly manner, and then politely and distantly drew a gulf between them.

Elizabeth sensed Renly’s condescension, and she only felt a slight itch in her throat: family cards, women’s cards, mother cards, etc., all kinds of mixed thoughts surging in her mind, she could still fight back, She could still take full advantage of her strengths, but she always felt that all her thoughts could not escape Renly’s eyes, and no matter what she said, it would only make herself more embarrassed in the end.

It’s as if… as if Renly was deliberately leaving blank time to allow them to speak, to use their means, to make them struggle, but no matter what they said, the outcome would not change.

Renly was waiting for their counter-attack, and her composure made her heart palpitate.

If it weren’t for the nobles, maybe she could roll around here and force Renly to submit in a rogue way – the best way to deal with nobles is to be unreasonable, the more primitive, the more brutal, the more savage, the more effective; Such thoughts surging in Elizabeth’s mind for a moment, and finally extinguished, she fell into a deep fear, unable to extricate herself.

Fear Renly.

It seemed that she had never understood her youngest son, so unfamiliar and so estranged, so cold and so decisive, that the fear in her heart began to surge.

Elizabeth did not speak,

George didn’t know what to say. Under Renly’s gaze, neither of them were able to speak, and they just let time pass slowly.

Renly seemed to have anticipated this situation, waited a moment, then nodded politely, and then turned to leave.

How to do?

What should they do?

When Renly left, the eyes of the audience receded like a tide, but George and Elizabeth knew that their every move was being “monitored”, and any little trouble would determine the direction of the follow-up, and they must think twice now Go back, don’t act rashly.

Elizabeth had anticipated such an outcome deep in her heart—just not how Renly would have handled it, but in any case, it was a done deal, and she had to plan for the future now.

She won’t be caught without her hands, but she won’t fight head-on, after all, Lan Li is now full of wings.

Elizabeth straightened her waist slightly, not pretending to be weak or aggrieved, but showing a stronger appearance, and then stepped out of the cloakroom area, leaving George alone behind her, smiling at the coming and going guests Nodding his head, occasionally stopping to say a few words of greeting, he left the Garrick Club unhurriedly.

Calm, calm, strong, wise, gentle, graceful.

Elizabeth’s performance was a bit surprising. She did not show her grievances clumsily, but showed all the excellent qualities of a woman. She was not embarrassed at all, but raised eyebrows. The faint light that bloomed was invisible. More empathy arose in it.

Through Elizabeth’s performance, it is not difficult for people to make up a story:

Elizabeth decided to come to the Garrick Club to reconcile with Renly. Despite numerous grudges in the past, she finally decided to let go of her prejudice and stubbornness. Even if there was no invitation, he had the cheek to offer an olive branch, but because of George’s outbursts of temper and because of Renly’s stubbornness, he could not succeed. In the end, Elizabeth had to defend the reputation of the Hall family alone.

Look what a great woman.

She did not accuse Renly of being cold-blooded, nor did she accuse George of being irritable. Instead, she shouldered all the heavy responsibilities on her own shoulders. Even if she was alone, she could become stronger. world!

Really smart people know that things are definitely not that simple. How can the internal entanglement of the Hall family be explained so easily?

But the real smart people also know that Elizabeth’s performance is not unskilled. She draws a clear line with Renly and George in her gestures, completes the stop loss quickly and chaotically, and then establishes the image of a woman who “struggles alone”. It can also effectively use the aura of Renly to truly establish an independent image of its own. In the future, it can completely break out alone and start a new life on the ruins.

What exactly does this mean?

To put it simply, Elizabeth, like Renly, “leaves” the Hall family, like a gecko with a docked tail, and puts all the blame and fault on George, and she also becomes a victim – but she does not ” Pretend to be “the victim” and instead be strong to rebuild your life.

This “female image” is very common and highly respected in contemporary Western society.

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 the name “Elizabeth Hall” and the residual heat of Renly’s halo to make an impact. If the positioning is accurate, then her gallery You can also create a whole new world – even completely get rid of the shadow attached to the aura of Renly, reverse the suffocation and dullness of the past few years, and have a business of your own dignifiedly.

So, does it sound familiar?

Edith is like this, Arthur is like this, Elf is like this… Now, Elizabeth is like this, although the means are a bit ugly and despicable, but at least they have all embarked on their own path in their own way – just like Like Renly, the “Hall” family was completely torn apart after all.

At the end of the twist, Elizabeth was the smart one. She thought farther than George, and managed to get rid of herself.

George couldn’t keep up with Elizabeth’s speed, and stared at Elizabeth’s back in a stunned manner. When he reacted to Elizabeth’s abacus, he was already in a predicament where he couldn’t argue. What should he do?

What else can he do?

He has nowhere to escape.

He had no choice:

as a gentleman, a gentleman who was raised by a hereditary aristocratic education, he must not reveal his vulnerability, not in any situation, not weak, not withdrawn, not afraid, not gaffe… let alone cry He can’t surrender, he must bear all the pressure alone, because what he bears is the family’s reputation and the dignity of a man, and he can’t even call for help.

So, George straightened his back. Even in the face of countless hot and sharp gazes, he still showed his perfect gentleman’s demeanor and walked away from the Garrick Club. He was obviously kicked out, but he pretended to be Those who choose to leave are like winners.

The expected meeting did not erupt as expected, and even ended somewhat disappointingly.

At this time, George and Elizabeth really faced the fact that

Renly was far from being a match for them, let alone being easily manipulated.

If Renly wanted to, he could easily shut them out of his social circle, or even kill them.

Any of their provocative actions may become a catalyst for their own embarrassment.

They can face it, but can’t accept it.

Maybe, they can’t accept it in their whole life, their pride as a parent and their dignity as an aristocrat do not allow them to accept it; but… what should they do?

Or, what else could they do?

Some things can never be reversed.

…

George and Elizabeth’s response, Renly didn’t pay attention, until he accidentally heard the rumor, but he didn’t comment, just laughed it off; even more so at this time, Renly and Matthew went straight to The direction of the showroom walked past, without stopping or looking back.

In the critical eyes of those scrutiny, scrutiny, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Renly never flinched, and met all eyes calmly.

To outsiders, they may never understand Renly’s slaughtering of their parents, which is outrageous, which is unethical, and they simply see the result:

Renly corners George and Elizabeth, and then They use their own momentum to trap them; but they refuse to see how the results are led, and refuse to understand the intricacies behind the results, because it is too complicated and too heavy, and they simply “criticize” the blue Ritual, and then classifying Renly as a cold-blooded animal would be a lot easier.

Renly knew the thoughts behind these glances, but he didn’t care, he wouldn’t and didn’t want to, and he didn’t need to explain, this was his life, no one could point fingers at him, no one!

They were all on this side, and he was on the other side—at least, he was trying to find the other side, trying to escape the confinement of this side.

So, he doesn’t care.
