"you dare!"

George scolded him sternly, but only got Renly's silent provocation, and all the attacks were in vain, making him look like a messed-up 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, cold and piercing.

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?"

That was Renly's last reaction, ignoring George's words in a lighthearted manner, then drawing a gulf between them politely and detachedly.

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, she would only make herself more embarrassed in the end.

It was as if... as if Renly was deliberately leaving blank time for them to speak, for them to use their means, for them to die, 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. 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 distant, so cold and so decisive, that the fear in her heart began to surge.

Elizabeth didn't speak, and 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 such a 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 "watched", and any little disturbance would determine the direction of the follow-up, and they had to think twice now Go back, don't act rashly.

Elizabeth had anticipated such an outcome deep in her heart—just not how Renly would handle 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 a fight, 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 the numerous grudges in the past, she finally decided to put aside her prejudice and stubbornness. Even without an invitation, she had the cheek to offer an olive branch. However, because of George's outbursts of temper and because of Renly's stubbornness, he failed to 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.

This

What exactly does that 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 twists and turns, Elizabeth was the smart one. She thought further than George, made a chess move, and successfully got 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 has no choice:

As a gentleman, a gentleman who has been educated by hereditary aristocrats, he must not reveal his vulnerability, not in any situation, not weak, not shrinking, not afraid, not gaffe... let alone weeping or surrendering, he He had to bear all the pressure alone, because what he was carrying was the family's reputation and the dignity of a man, and he couldn't even call for help.

So, George straightened his back. Even in the face of countless scorching and sharp gazes, he still showed his perfect gentleman's demeanor and left the Garrick Club. 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 face up to a fact:

Renly was far from being someone they could contend against, 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.

...

Renly didn't pay attention to George and Elizabeth's response until he overheard the rumors, but he didn't comment, just laughed it off; even more so now, Renly and Matthew went straight to the showroom In the direction of the past, there is no stopping and no turning back.

In the scrutiny, scrutiny, and critical gaze, Renly never flinched, and met all gazes calmly.

To outsiders, they may never understand Renly's slaughtering of his parents, which is absurd and unethical, and they simply see a result:

Renly cornered George and Elizabeth, and then used his power to imprison them; but they refused to examine how the outcome led, and to understand the intricacies behind it, because it was too complicated and too heavy , they just need to simply "criticize" Renly, and then classify Renly as a cold-blooded animal, which is much 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 one 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.
