Chapter 2030

Looking up and drinking the brandy in the cup, but the chest is still a piece of cold, piercing cold, the complex emotions are nibbling at the skin and flesh inch by inch, numb and sharp pain began to spread slowly, but could not get rid of, even the action of resistance could not be done.

George and Elizabeth are like trapped animals, restless and anxious mood is constantly rolling, rampant, but can not find a vent.

Before that, they tried their best to get rid of awards; Now, they go all out to accept the medal. But two ideas and two plans failed to fulfill their wishes. The sense of powerlessness even went beyond anger and fear, crushing their souls bit by bit. When the pain reached the extreme, they could not shout out at all. So they sat in silence and felt the pain of ashes and disintegration sweeping in the vast.

"Matthew told me his decision." Said Elizabeth calmly.

"There's no need to worry. He will never care what you care about; You will never understand what he cares about. If you really want to take advantage of him, you should at least show some sincerity, instead of trying to do something when the benefits come. Holf people, we are not children. We should not be so naive. Otherwise, you can at least let each other go and leave a little space. He won't kill you all. You can also continue to enjoy the aura and glory brought by the title of 'Hall' and keep peace. "

This is Matthew's original words, without a dirty word, cold words or even a ripple, but Elizabeth trembles angrily. An impulse in her mind is to smash the mobile phone directly. However, after years of accomplishment, she still controls herself, so she doesn't lose her manners on the phone.

Sure enough, Matthew and Langley are like birds of a feather.

Even now, in retrospect, the words without emotion hurt her self-esteem. Elizabeth could not control her emotions. Under her calm voice, her muscles were completely tense; But she didn't want to lose face in front of George, so she quickly said the final decision, "he has refused by email."

It has been rejected.

It's not under consideration or waiting for negotiation, but it's a direct refusal, leaving no room for maneuver.

George didn't expect that Langley was so cruel that he chose to refuse, and didn't even leave any chance to relax. That kind of amazement made his mood surge again; Elizabeth thought that she had thought of it, because Langley was such a cold-blooded guy. But when she really got the confirmation from Matthew, she still couldn't believe that Langley didn't have any nostalgia for the family, and even didn't care about the surname of hall.

Or is it that Lan Li deliberately refused the award in order to retaliate against them? If this is the case, then lanli's goal has been achieved. Now, they are in hell, every inch of their skin is suffering from the fire of the flames, almost unbearable.

Where did things start to go wrong?

"... stop him! Stop him! We have to stop him! That damn guy! Royal Mail? Did you refuse the invitation by Royal Mail? Let's get in touch now and stop his mail from returning to the royal family! Stop the mail

George was really angry. He even made a rude remark, saying that he was in the next room just 30 seconds ago, and he was still being baptized with envy; Even at this moment, all the eyes in the afternoon tea room are filled with admiration and worship, which is slightly burning on the surface of the skin. But now, the world he built is falling apart, just like the end of the world.

damn. damn. damn!

"How?" Elizabeth also hit back a word, so forcefully cut off all of George's words, then she took a deep breath, and then said, "face the reality, now, we are the weak, and we have no resistance, except to accept, we have no other choice."

"Shut up." This is George's response.

George can see that Elizabeth's mouth outlines a shallow arc, which is not obvious but exists. It seems that he is mocking his incompetence and confusion. It reminds him of ALF's smile at the Earl of Oxford dinner last year, and all his emotions break through his chest in an instant.

Hands clenched into a fist, irascible anger is roaring, almost a little bit, almost a little bit, just like a volcano directly erupted out; But at the critical moment, George still controlled himself - because all the eyes around him were looking at them, those envious, envious and hateful eyes were aiming at their every move, and any little commotion could become a conversation after dinner.

He can't take risks.

It was not easy for him to return to the eyes of the upper class. He could not take risks, and he could not give up. All the negative emotions rushed up and broke through his brain. On the contrary, it calmed him down. There was a sharp burst in his cold eyebrows, and the shadow of Raleigh could be seen faintly - but they were different in shape and spirit after all. George hall and Raleigh hall had become two different people, even Arthur hall was different.

"It's not over yet." George said calmly.

Elizabeth did not agree, "it's over."

George's eyebrows suddenly sharpened, and he repeated, "I say, it's not over yet."

But Elizabeth did not buy it at all. She looked up and poured the whole glass of brandy into her throat. "What else can you do? Rush to him and force him to withdraw his refusal? The initiative has never been in our hands. " With that, Elizabeth is ready to turn around and leave. She doesn't want to keep pestering. She has a mess to deal with and has no time to take care of the children——

I didn't think so before, because George was always strong enough; But since the banquet of the Earl of Oxford last year, disasters and blows have followed. George, who grew up in a greenhouse, has never faced such storms. Then he has been defeated little by little, and his mask of dignity and pride has fallen apart little by little, even worse than Elizabeth.

"Yes George's words stopped Elizabeth from leaving. "That's it!" George's eyes brightened. "We went to the United States to ask him to withdraw his refusal."

Elizabeth's face changed slightly. "You're crazy!" She looked at George incredulously. "We just sent a postcard, and now you're going to lose all your face and dignity and go straight to the door? Sir George hall! Have you abandoned all your aristocratic pride? "

George's face was also stiff: it took them a lot of energy to send a blank postcard. After hesitation, they decided to take a step, which was not so simple; If you come directly to the door now, you will really lose all your faces - it's all the blame on that bastard. If it wasn't for that guy's anger and completely disrupted their layout, he would not forget his identity impulsively!

But the thought was just a little, and then George came up with another solution, "we don't need to come to the door in person, we can send messengers to persuade him, if he refuses, then we can give him a condition that he can't refuse, that's OK!"

Elizabeth frowned slightly. "Why? Why should he accept it? He has never been at the mercy of the personality, and now we have no chips to let him submit But she didn't leave after all, because she also began to think about the possibility - if she could, she also hoped that Langley would accept the award.

"Arthur and Edith." George's thought became clear. "Either threat or inducement, we can use Arthur and Edith to achieve our goal. He has no weakness, but Arthur and Edith are not. Do you think he can do nothing? " They could use the nanny to keep Edith, but now they can do it again; What's more, Edith's actor boyfriend is full of loopholes, so it's not difficult to use them.

"What do you want to do?" Elizabeth's brow drew closer and closer to the center. She felt that something was wrong, but she could not tell why.

George waved gently and said calmly, "don't worry, we can't really hurt Arthur or Edith. We're just using them as lobbyists to convince him, that's all. It's just a way, a way. Don't imagine things too complicated. well! Remember? We will never let our hands get bloody. It's not our way of doing things, it's not! Don't forget what we are proud of. "

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 is full of confusion, don't understand Elizabeth's intention, Philip Dunbar? What else can a housekeeper do?

Elizabeth shakes her head and smiles. "Believe me, Philip may be more effective than you think. If Philip doesn't work, take Arthur and Edith's route. I have a hunch that Philip will succeed. "

They are not for themselves, but for the whole family, for the glory of the surname "Hall". I believe Arthur and Edith can understand it, and I believe Philip can understand it - after all, as long as hall can come back, then their whole family can make a new success, can't they?

Now, there is no way to reach a consensus with them, but as long as they can complete the communication, they will be on the same front. They have this confidence. Now, just build a bridge.
