The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2134

[2098 Audience Focus]

“In this way, Dave kills two birds with one stone. Not only can he contribute to charity, but he can also give a gift to his girlfriend. The biggest winner tonight is Dave.”

Looking at Lan Li’s bright smile, the only thought in Dave’s mind now is to shred that face into countless pieces with his bare hands:

Originally, this should have been auctioned off by Dave, and then offered to Beatrice on his own initiative. His own generosity and kindness; but now that Renly spoke first, the taste of things seemed to have changed subtly, and it always felt strange that Dave’s behavior was carried out with a purpose.

Dave can be sure that Renly did it on purpose; and at the previous auction, Renly’s group of friends also deliberately bid up the price, just to make him embarrassed.

“Ha. Auctioning off something you like and then showing your support for charity in this way is a wonderful thing in itself, and it’s extraordinarily rare to finally be lucky enough to come across something Tris likes. “Dave tried to respond in a calm way, he could really feel Beatrice’s scorching gaze on him, and he knew –

he had to be careful, or the royals would always be Be extra cautious and avoid trouble making friends.

Compared with William, Beatrice is already less vigilant; but this does not mean that she is unprepared. After all, the members of the royal family have been surrounded by countless sights since childhood, and the matter of “trust” is originally It’s not easy.

“As for the winner, I think it should be Your Excellency Renly.” Dave quietly kicked the ball back, putting a top hat on Renly’s head.

Renly did not continue to be modest, but nodded slightly, and Dave rolled his eyes with his calm and generous appearance, and then said, “I dedicate this honor to the children who are about to receive funding, and Lord Alexander, who worked so hard to plan the whole auction, I just attended and then sat down to enjoy all the glory, which is obviously too lazy.”

Calm, easy, and humorous.

Renly condensed all the beautiful moments on his body in just one sentence, which made Beatrice unable to resist a smile on his face, and even the other guests beside him couldn’t help but befriend him. It was hard to hide the surprise and lightness in his eyes, and the atmosphere was gently surging.

Dave realized he was underestimating Renly.

According to rumors, Renly is just an actor, and he does not have much reputation in the London social circle. , the actors of Vanity Fair are… not so smart, or they would not have embarked on a career of “relying on God to reward me for food”, right?

But now it seems that

Renly is far from that simple, which also causes Dave to lose his first move –

maybe Dave is not a “high-IQ” elite who is good at reading or doing business, but he can be friends with William and can be in the upper class of London Taking a place in itself shows that he is very good at interpersonal communication; today, facing Renly, he has lost his advantages and even made many mistakes, which is obviously not the norm.

Renly also faintly sensed Dave’s impatience, and turned his eyes to Beatrice, leaving a meaningful look:

No matter whether Dave has evil intentions or another calculus, at least one thing is certain, he And Beatrice is not a virtual and vexatious snake.

Then, there is no need to pursue Dave’s aggressive and provocative behavior just now.

Renly and Beatrice exchanged a look, and then you can see that Beatrice’s cheeks were slightly flushed, which made Renly chuckle, “There are some friends there to say hello, I I won’t stay here, and we’ll talk more slowly at the reception later.”

After nodding his head, Renly turned around and left.

Beatrice only felt a slight heat on her cheeks, she understood the deep meaning in Renly’s eyes, but as if her own thoughts had been peeped through, she couldn’t help but shy, and even dared not look up at Dave, lest her thoughts would come back again Expose – how shy!

Dave didn’t know why, and watched Renly leave, his expression was a little uncertain, if he could, he thought he should turn around and leave now – he didn’t want to continue to socialize with that guy, he always felt that he was always Being suppressed, the feeling of suffocation is really bad, it makes him feel very stupid, but if he leaves, there is no way to maximize the benefits of this million pounds today.

Damn it!

Dave cursed in the depths of his heart, hesitated for a moment, but still raised his spirits, the later reception was the real battlefield.

“Tris? Are you okay?” Put aside the reception for now. Since those things have finally been auctioned off, even if you don’t like them, you should make the best use of them – in fact, the only thing in his mind now is The idea was to burn the guitar and the sheet music, he didn’t want to see those things in Beatrice’s room, but… he couldn’t, not to mention it was a million pounds just for Beatrice Neither can Liz.

Really depressing!

Beatrice also came back to her senses at this time, and secretly looked at Dave out of the corner of her eyes, “I… uh, I’m fine! Yes, I’m really fine.” She hastily covered her mind. , Beatrice couldn’t help but exclaimed in astonishment, “Ah! Why did I forget to ask Renly for an autograph.”

Dave felt a little tormented.

On the other side, Renly temporarily left the Beatrice and Dave affairs behind and took the initiative to walk in the direction of Alexander.

Because Alexander was always standing not far away and waiting for Renly, even if someone came to say hello, Alexander just exchanged a few simple words, showing that there was no long talk, and asked the other party to go to the afternoon reception, and then stood there again and waited for Lanly. present.

Seeing Renly taking the initiative to greet him now, Alexander’s eyes also showed a faint smile.

Unlike Andre, Alexander is a very serious personality and rarely jokes, because he is the eldest son in the family, and because he is the successor of the next Duke of Hamilton. Raised in the way of the head of the family.

But what’s interesting is that Alexander is even more serious than his and Andre’s father, the current Duke of Hamilton, who is a wonderful man who is still like a urchin in his seventies, and then Duke Hamilton can often be heard making fun of Alexander” Don’t put on a vampire face, even vampires can laugh now.” Fathers are not like fathers and sons are not like sons, which is also a rare and unique sight.

The Duke of Hamilton was very fond of Renly, but not Alexander – when we first met, Renly almost thought Alexander was Andre’s father, because Alexander was eighteen years older than Andre, and he was forty-three years old this year. , coupled with that serious look, it’s hard not to misunderstand.

Only later, Alexander and Renly contacted several times, but found that this little guy had an old soul living in his young skin. Inadvertently, he was able to have more common language with Alexander, such as life experience and so on, and Renly It was also possible to manage Andre, and the situation changed.

Today, Alexander and Renly are not friends, but they have a tacit understanding of each other.

“Being able to see Lord Alexander’s smile, does that mean I performed well today.” Renly teased.

Alexander had already seen the odds, “You know it’s impossible to go wrong with today’s auction.” Even if the conversation was full of humor, Alexander was always able to “get the humor off the mark.” “Thank you so much today. Without you, today’s The auction is probably going to be a different story.”

“Don’t say it as if it’s all my credit, I’ll take it seriously, and I’m not humble.” Renly’s lighthearted words made Alexander relax a little. , but only a little – in fact, in addition to Renly’s two items, today’s auction has also raised more than one million pounds, which is very rare for charity activities, and Alexander’s call can be seen from the side. strength.

Alexander did not continue to play tricks with Renly. The two people’s conversation styles are two different things, but the wisdom hidden in them is unquestionable. “After Elizabeth returns, she should start to support the family independently; George’s words, I don’t know for the time being, but the overall economic The situation is already in the doldrums, even with your help, he won’t be able to sustain it for long, he is not an excellent fund manager.”

In two simple sentences, UUkanshu www.sonicmtl.

The amount of com information is huge, and Alexander informed Renly of the follow-up development, which also allows Renly to change plans at any time.

Renly nodded lightly, but did not intend to continue to talk about his own family affairs in depth, but just changed the subject, “Is there anything I need to pay attention to at the reception later? Andrea didn’t make it clear.”

“You can handle it.

, don’t worry.” Alexander also stopped talking, and did not continue talking, “By the way, the identity of Mr. 43 has been clarified. I think you and Andrea need to prepare.” Alexander did not say it directly , but handed a business card to Renly, “Besides, Dave is not as stupid as he seems, he may not have good academic performance, and may have average management and business skills, but he knows better than his father to manage contacts. ”

She didn’t grow up in a castle either. Although love can make people blind, I heard that this relationship was introduced by the Duke of Cambridge.” The double review of William and Beatrice is obviously not a soft persimmon.

Alexander nodded lightly in agreement, but didn’t say anything more, turned around and stepped aside, “I still have guests, and I think so do you.”
