Andre looked at the deflated Arthur and Edith with a look of schadenfreude, and proudly stretched out his right hand, "I am willing to admit defeat."
Renly didn't stop it, but asked enthusiastically, "What did they lose?"
Edith, who was originally depressed, also gloated, raised her chin and gestured to Arthur, "His humidor."
Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
He knew that the humidor was bought by Arthur from a private auction. The value of the item itself was not high, only two thousand pounds, but it was the first time Arthur attended a private auction alone when he was fourteen. , which is of commemorative significance; in addition, there is a watercolor painting of a beautiful woman lying in the cigar box, which is very unique.
Undoubtedly, Andre saw the humidor. Out of curiosity, he took the initiative to ask for it half-jokingly. Naturally, Arthur justly refused.
After that, every time they met, Andre had to ask for it in a prank manner, not so much because he really liked it, but rather a prank mentality, especially when Andre jokingly exchanged his personal connections and business, Arthur. After still disagreeing, this incident became a fixed episode between them.
Unexpectedly, Andrei succeeded today.
However, Renly knew that Andre was just joking.
The humidor will definitely be accepted. After all, he is willing to admit defeat. This is a matter of integrity and dignity. If Andre refuses, it will be an insult to Arthur; but in exchange, he will definitely compensate in other ways. Arthur, especially Arthur is now on his own, and Andre's connections can definitely help a lot.
"Andre, so, how are you going to give me a share?" Renly said with a smile.
Andre curled his lips and said righteously, "The bishop taught me not to make deals with demons."
"Then has the bishop taught you what are the consequences of refusing to make deals with demons?" Renly asked in a calm manner.
Andre rolled his eyes speechlessly, "You can choose to shut up, it won't affect our friendship." Edith, who was sitting next to him, giggled, and seemed to enjoy Andre's deflated appearance.
Andre turned his head immediately and said solemnly, "Hey, what about you? When will your bet be cashed? I think now is a good time. Just in time, Curtis can make another run."
In an instant, Edith glared at Andre speechlessly.
Andre continued to explain to Renly, "Edith's bet is that Captain America in Hollywood, let him come over for a meal or an afternoon tea with us. Well, Renly is also here, I think, this It's the perfect time."
Captain America. Used in a derogatory sense here and now.
A faint smile formed on Renly's mouth, "You all think of me as a great devil, are you sure I'll be happy?"
This understated sentence immediately made everyone froze for a while, and Qi Qi turned their eyes away and pretended that nothing had happened.
At this moment, the butler held the tray, appeared in sight without any mistake, cut into the conversation with precise timing, broke the embarrassing blank, and successfully served Andre, Arthur and Iraq. Diss found the steps and immediately eased the atmosphere. This self-discipline and quality can be seen, he is a real professional.
Renly picked up the whisky in front of him and raised the glass gently towards Arthur.
Getting rid of the shackles of the family and taking the first step, even in the eyes of outsiders, this is extremely simple; but only when you are truly in it can you understand the difficulties and pains.
First Edith, then Arthur, the bonds of the Hall family were shattering little by little.
Although this analogy is not accurate or appropriate, the same is true for the British royal family, first Princess Diana, then Princess Kate, then Prince Harry - and then Princess Meghan, the entire aristocracy is unloading bit by bit. Let down their dignity and shelf, find a new position in the 21st century.
From an individual point of view, Renly's breakthrough and impact are undoubtedly sensational, setting off a stormy wave among the entire upper class; but from the perspective of the entire era, this is just a bunch of small waves, not at all. Worth mentioning.
Even without too many words, Arthur could feel Renly's blessing.
Perhaps, when Renly invited them to Cannes at the Earl of Oxford's banquet, he had expected this day to come. Although there was no expression in words, he silently gave help in action. ——
From the help of Andre Hamilton, to the smooth introduction of the Barrière Group, to the unimpeded flow of Cannes celebrities. In this trip to Cannes, Arthur has gained a lot. He has just decided to establish his own business, and he has successfully opened the door in Cannes, leading to the avenues of many European artists and celebrities.
Affectionate.
For aristocratic families, this is an unfamiliar word, because the bond of family affection is far less important than family inheritance. For the sake of the family, individuals can be sacrificed; similarly, for the sake of the family, individuals must disappear in the surname. behind; but now, Arthur felt it in Renly.
That is warm.
Arthur turned his head, and then saw the bright light in Edith's eyes. It seemed that he had already expected the current situation, which made Arthur a little embarrassed. He raised his whiskey and paid a tribute to Renly. all at once
The amber-colored alcohol poured down his throat.
For a while, the bustling discussion settled down, and everyone silently picked up the wine glasses in their hands, salute each other, and took a sip. Bathed in the moonlight, this tranquility and peace surging quietly, even the night wind of the azure coast seems to bring the slight drunkenness and warmth of early summer.
For the first time, they were like ordinary friends, sitting together and having a good time.
Renly shook the glass in his hand gently, the amber-colored alcohol twirled gently, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "Arthur, it better not be your brand new residence, otherwise it would be too rude. Ender Lie, why didn't you express a strong protest? Wait, or did the housekeeper here simply not realize it? No, he doesn't look like such a sightless amateur."
This glass of whisky is not from the Dalmore brand.
In other words, serving Andre Hamilton with another brand of whisky is not a mistake, but it is a faux pas.
Andrei shrugged lightly and said nonchalantly, "It seems that I still need to keep working hard in the European market."
Arthur also showed a big smile, "This is Dominique-desseigne's manor. He is a very hospitable gentleman, obviously, he has entertained countless distinguished guests here, I have visited His wine cellar is really eye-opening. I think Dalmore should also be in the collection, but he only collects the best Dalmore. The problem is that we have not reached the level.”
They don't deserve the most precious Dalmore.
Is this a compliment or a slander?
Renly nodded lightly to show his understanding, and now he has finally awakened his memory, Dominique Deségne, the current president of the Barrière Group, is also the gentleman who arranged the hotel accommodation for Renly this time, "He is the The hero who made a splash in Paris last year?"
Andre and Arthur both nodded meaningfully in affirmation, but Edith was confused and didn't know why.
"Why, have you even heard of it?" Andre was slightly surprised, "I thought you weren't interested in these gossips."
"Eton brought it up. He knew the lady," Renly explained briefly.
At the end of last year, a court case caused a sensation throughout France and even Europe.
Rachida-dati, the former Minister of Justice of France and the current member of the European Parliament, was caught in a brand-name scandal. In 2009, the birth of a child out of wedlock once again became the focus of attention.
To this end, the 47-year-old Lazida broke the news that the child's biological father is the 68-year-old Dominique Desene, and most of her luxury goods come from gifts from the other party. However, Dominica refused to conduct a DNA test, and Lazida, who was furious, took Dominica to court with a lawsuit, requesting mandatory DNA testing for Dominica.
When Dominic was interviewed, he directly broke the news that during Lazida's pregnancy, he was only a member of the /curator/zhi/bin. During the same period, Lazida maintained an ambiguous relationship with as many as eight men, including one. A TV presenter, a minister, a chief executive, a former Spanish prime minister, a brother of former president Nicolas Sarkoze, Qatar's justice minister and heir to a luxury goods company.
After the news was announced, it shocked the whole of Europe. The problem is that Lazida could not effectively refute, so the entire political/political/field set off a storm, and everyone was in danger; and the upper class was even more heated, including Eaton Dormer and other top leaders Luxury fashion brands are also involved.
There is currently no update on the case.
According to French law, the man has the right to refuse DNA identification. Unless the woman can provide further substantive evidence to help the court make a judgment and force the completion of the relevant identification, the case can only be stuck in place. However, on the whole, when the man continues to refuse the identification, the French court has the right to consider it tricky and make a judgment against the man.
"God, I think I'm on the wrong set. You're discussing gossip that I haven't heard of, sorry, did I miss something?" Edith complained with no face at all, and exaggerated. A blank eye.
Both Arthur and Andre cleared their throats embarrassingly, pretended to drink, and avoided the subject.
But Renly looked at Edith calmly and said with a smile, "I thought you were getting used to it."
The subtext is... Chris Evans, Chris Evans at the center of the biggest gossip in the world.
