"Okay, I'll go to the study and wait for you."

Alan stood up. He had a rough idea of ​​what Diana wanted to talk about, but it was not easy to refuse her. He might as well let her give up this time and give her some experience.

…

Inside the study, the door was open. Alan was not going to close the door for this conversation, so he just left it open.

He's not being pretentious, this is the rule.

Although no outsiders could see this relatively private conversation between the two of them at home, they had to avoid mistakes that should be avoided. The two of them should not be in a relatively private space. Alan didn't even dare to think about whether he and Diana had any other relationship.

A man should have brains. He still has a good life ahead of him and does not need to rush to seek death.

…

Diana walked into the study with a small bag. She didn't knock on the door. She saw Alan writing something at the desk. She didn't call Alan either. Instead, she crossed her arms and admired the layout of the study.

The overall decoration is very old, and the furniture is also very old. There is no scholarly atmosphere. It is a bit like the boss's office of an ordinary commercial company.

In addition to the huge bookshelf next to Alan and the big mat on his desk, there was also a fat snowy owl sleeping on the mat.

Diana had seen this pet before, but she had never expected that this thing would sleep on its stomach, just like a child, with its head hanging outside the cushion. It would just lie on the cushion that looked like a doghouse and sleep soundly. Even though Alan was writing something next to it, he could not disturb its sleep.

…

Feeling that there was someone sitting directly opposite him, Alan raised his head to look at Diana, put down the pen in his hand, and looked at the letter in front of him.

It was an "insulting letter" he had written to Karami's husband.

The words in the letter were very straightforward.

Alan has been waiting for several days, but there has been no news from Princess Anne. Alan, disappointed with the princess, is ready to go it alone. Time waits for no one, so he starts plan number two.

"Originally, William said he missed you yesterday, so I casually asked him to call you and ask if you could come over. I didn't expect you to come over today. Why... aren't you busy these two days?"

Alan folded the letter paper calmly, then took out a small envelope and sealed the letter himself. While sealing it, he chatted with Diana.

In Britain, unless the hatred between two parties is very deep, or the relationship is very close, people always have a fixed chatting routine before chatting with each other.

For example, you should start by chatting about family matters, the weather, recent developments, gossip, or anything else that comes up. In short, if there is anything strange going on, you should talk about these topics first. When you’ve finished talking about all the nonsense, leave the serious stuff for last!

…

"Oh..." Diana sighed, put down her small bag, pressed her neck with her right hand, and said tiredly, "There was originally a party today, which was initiated by Princess Anne. I heard that that person also went to the party. I hate her, so I didn't go. William just called me again, so I came to see them."

"?"

Alan raised his eyebrows suddenly. How come he had never heard of this?

What kind of party was it that I didn't deserve to know about? What's more, the organizer was Princess Anne, and I had just written to her a few days ago.

"A party initiated by Her Royal Highness the Princess? I don't think I received an invitation."

Alan pretended to be a little confused and started talking to Diana about the party.

…

“…”

Diana looked at Allen in silence, and Allen looked puzzled. Then he explained, "Princess Anne is hosting a party for noble ladies and young ladies. No men are invited. It is a party for ladies. Why did she invite you?"

“…”

Oh shit, that's so embarrassing.

Alan's face remained normal, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he forgot about it...

Fortunately, there are no outsiders here now, so it’s not too embarrassing.

After Diana's explanation, Alan finally understood what the party initiated by Princess Anne today meant.

Female nobles like them, or princesses and royal family members, used to hold such gender-restricted gatherings frequently.

Those who attended the party were all young ladies and ladies from aristocratic families. They gathered together occasionally to talk about family matters.

…

Gatherings among aristocratic men often have very clear purposes, such as expanding personal connections, discussing projects, dividing profits, etc.

But gatherings between aristocratic women were not so formal. They would wear their nice clothes and compare them with each other, or talk about some private topics that were inconvenient for outsiders to know, or just chat and gossip.

Something like a male servant and a female servant in a certain family had an affair, or a villager in a certain village did something weird, like fucking a dog or a sheep, whatever it is, as long as it is bizarre enough, they can be brought up and told about.

Even for some small gatherings with very few people, they will invite some skilled young men to have a party together, and then everyone will discuss advanced knowledge such as the mysteries of life together.

This is the most profound knowledge and is relatively private. Alan has heard of it before, but he doesn't know which noble lady or aristocratic lady has played this game.

…

For someone of Princess Anne's level, the parties she hosts are not so formal. Generally speaking, for a large party like this, she would not send someone to send invitations to each person specifically.

Instead, she would first invite her close "best friends", and then these best friends would invite other noble ladies or ladies who were interested in attending the party.

The number of people who can attend a party is not fixed and the rules are very loose.

This is also a reflection of the personal connections that women care about. For example, if a noble lady has a relatively high status in a small circle, she can take the opportunity to call on her friends and recruit a large number of young sisters to attend the princess's party. This will make her appear very impressive and her family very powerful.

At such women-only gatherings, the more people there are, the better. They don't talk about serious business, they just want to have some fun and exchange gossip.

Moreover, they would not delve too deeply into the identities of the people. Some ladies from small noble families would bring along one or two daughters of wealthy families, or wives of wealthy families. Anyway, they were families where the men did not have titles, but had some assets, and they came to see the world.

Diana would definitely be one of the people invited to such a party. She had originally wanted to attend, but when she heard that Karami would also be there, she suddenly didn't want to go anymore, so... she was very free today.

…

"???"

Alan was listening to Diana's complaints and suddenly realized that Princess Anne hadn't responded in the past few days. Could she be planning a big move?

Tsk tsk tsk... It seems like Diana is going to miss a good show. The key is that it doesn’t matter if she missed it. Because she missed it, she won’t even have anyone to tell her gossip about it first!

Alan can't just go there by himself, right?

Or maybe I can just call Princess Anne later to ask?

No, no... Let's just wait a bit. What if we can see some news directly in the newspaper tomorrow?

Um……

With Princess Anne's temper, she would either not do it, or if she did it... she would do it in a big way.

As a princess, can she play the same tricks as ordinary people?

The Windsor family is indeed courageous...

Alan even felt a little guilty when he thought about how he had just wrongly blamed Princess Anne.

…

After chatting a little more about the gossip about the princess's party, Alan took out the information he had brought back last night from the drawer, put it on the table and pushed it to Diana.

"Let's see... I don't know if you want to tell me this."

"What?"

Diana, who was sharing gossip with Allen, looked at the information that Allen suddenly pushed to her. She was a little slow to react. She subconsciously picked up the information, opened the first page, and took a look before she reacted and looked up at Allen.

Diana frowned and asked in a tangled manner: "You...you had someone beat him up?"

"Haha...don't worry about whether you beat him or not. Just take a look at his confession in the file first."

Alan was extremely calm this time, so calm that Diana even felt a little uncomfortable. With a puzzled attitude, she slowly flipped through the information and began to read it.

…

As the documents were flipped, Diana's face became worse and worse, until in the end, she held the documents in her hand, tightly clenching the documents, her fingertips exerted too much force, and her skin turned pale and bloodless.

This information is detailed, and what Alan saw last night was just the tip of the iceberg.

It records in detail the subsequent plans of the pretty boy named Dodi, such as proposing, getting married and having children, and then successfully becoming a British citizen through the father's status as a son. This guy even fantasized that he could get a noble title with the help of Diana.

"He...turns out he was lying to me. He said he was going to buy a villa in Paris. He said he was going to invest in a movie based on me. He said..."

Diana muttered.

This was originally a very ordinary sentence, but when Alan heard a few key words, his expression changed instantly.

Paris…filming…getting married…having kids…Egyptian…rich businessman?

This character seems to be becoming more and more familiar.

Oh...shit.

Thinking about the car accident that happened a few years later, could it be this guy who was responsible?

The more Alan thought about it, the more he felt that it was him. Anyway, he didn't have a clear memory about this kind of thing. Who would have the time to remember the name of the dead man in the car?

I didn't expect...Is this a lucky coincidence?

Tsk…

Alan never thought about what might happen in the future as a result of his intervention.

There is no point in thinking about such things. Since he has encountered it and done it, there is no need to regret it.

As for the future?

What's the use of love? The world is so big, can he change it alone?

What are you thinking about...

There are so many differences from the past. If a person acts entirely according to his so-called memory or one-sided so-called "foresight", he would have died eight hundred times already.

When you're out there in the world, the key is to know when to take action and when to be cowardly.

…

"Did you force him to say this?"

Diana even looked at Allen with some disbelief and asked, but as soon as she asked the question, she denied it in her heart.

Alan did things, no matter what else he did, but it was not his style to wrongly accuse someone like this.

"Heh... it's really unreal. Just take a look at it. Believe it or not. As for this information, you can take it away and destroy or keep it. I can pretend that this incident never happened."

Diana looked at Allen with some suspicion, not understanding what Allen meant by this. Wasn't he going to find Boss Cha to report his situation?

…

"Aunt, are you wondering why I don't take this information to report to His Highness?"

"Oh……"

Alan laughed at himself, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and sighed again, as if he was talking to Diana, or to himself.

"Some things, as long as you do them, if they want to know, they can know at any time. The only difference is that it takes them longer or later to know. But what difference does it make?"

"Sometimes you may think that I am unkind, but think about it... You brought him to Wales to see me, and you appeared in front of me so openly, in front of so many people. You don't know who those bodyguards are, and I don't know either..."

Alan glanced at Diana through the smoke and continued, "I've reminded you before that sometimes it's not that no one knows what you do, but that they don't care. Even if they know, they pretend not to know. Do you understand?"

"The reason why no one told you this is not because you were secretive enough, but because you didn't cross the line. Before you cross the line, no one will care about you. But...if one day you cross the line, what will happen then? Have you ever thought about this?"

…

Diana stared at Alan in a daze. She didn't quite understand what was said in this long string of words and was a little confused.

Allen looked at her innocent appearance and pointed to the document in front of Diana, reminding her: "Did you read the plan he mentioned there?"

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Are you trying to give William and Harry a brother or sister? Haha... you are simply playing with fire... courting death. You are just... just a little bit away."

As Allen spoke, his eyes gradually turned cold, and he made a gesture with his right hand that Koreans hate the most, describing how small that little bit was.

…

Diana finally understood what was going on. She closed her eyes, her chest heaving violently. She felt a little angry and helpless, but she didn't know what to say.

After more than ten seconds, Diana suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Alan, "Does that mean I will no longer be free? I can't do what I like? I can't find someone I like?"

"Hahaha!"

Alan listened to Diana's complaints, smiled and clapped a few times.

"Good question. Freedom... What a wonderful word. When you got married, was someone forcing you to get married? No? Before you got married... Have you ever thought about what kind of responsibilities you would have to take on in the future? You say you want freedom now... What were you doing before? Hmm?"

"I won't say anything else. You are now... whether it's legally or in fact, you know better than me what your identity is! Don't you think you are being irresponsible when you say something like this?"

"I……"

Diana opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute Allen. That was just her personality. If she couldn't stand something, she would retaliate in her own way. But often her revenge seemed so stupid and not worth mentioning to some people.
