As the direction of the sun changed, the direction of the sunlight also changed. Half of the sunlight outside the window shone on Boss Cha's face, making it appear that half of his face was bright and the other half was hidden in the shadow.
Alan looked at this scene and felt a little sad.
Now he is here with Boss Cha to arrange Diana's fate. Will there be a day in the future when someone else will be able to arrange his own fate?
When he thought of this, Allen's heart was clenched. Power...
What a useful thing. Even for him now, he could not guarantee that his fate would be directly pronounced upon him someday...
It seems that he has to climb up further. He doesn't want to wait for the day when his fate is directly arranged by others and he has no power to resist.
This thing is horrible.
…
As for who should be the one to negotiate peace...
Anyway, Alan doesn't want to go, so he can't take the job, but if Boss Cha is determined, it seems that Diana can't escape either.
This is a dead end, there is no way to change it. Boss Cha is sometimes very stubborn. Before he makes up his mind, everything is negotiable. But after he makes up his mind, no one can say anything except the Queen!
…
Alan scratched his head in annoyance.
"Your Highness...I want to smoke a cigarette."
"Um!"
Boss Cha clapped his hands, and two claps echoed in the silent church. After waiting for dozens of seconds, a steady sound of footsteps was heard, and a figure appeared in the backlight, standing quietly, waiting for Boss Cha's instructions. Alan couldn't see who it was.
"Go get Count Allen a pack of cigarettes."
"Yes, Your Highness."
…
Hearing the voice, Alan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the figure. Today's standards were quite high. He did not expect that Butler Capel would follow out. From the clapping of the boss to the sound of footsteps, there was a full dozen seconds in between.
This means that in this church, it is most likely that only Butler Capel remains here to serve, while the others are still outside.
Well... considering the topic the two of them talked about today, this level of confidentiality is indeed required.
…
After Butler Capel put down the cigarette box and ashtray in front of Allen and left silently without saying a word, Allen lit a cigarette and thought quietly.
People tend to do wrong things when they are irritable, but with good things like cigarettes, they can greatly alleviate this anxious mood.
In the current situation, if we only give advice to Boss Cha and pick people to mediate, it would be too passive.
Alan didn't like this feeling.
Since you're relying on the royal family, you have to get used to these things.
You have to maintain a certain close relationship with them, but also keep a certain distance. There are some things you can get involved in, some things you have to give in to, and some things you not only have to get involved in, but also deeply participate in, or in other words... make a profit from it, not just for money, but for things that are beneficial to yourself!
…
So what benefit does this matter bring to me now?
Alan thought over the incident from beginning to end.
Main plot: Boss Cha is about to get divorced.
Characters: Boss Cha, Diana.
Branch: The Queen’s “golden hoop”.
Branch 2: Karami's ambition.
Well...that's the four lines.
Putting aside the main storyline, in these two branches, the Queen's arrangement to retain the title is very interesting. Alan keenly felt that he could do something about this matter.
But when he tried to think about how to do it now, he couldn't quite grasp the inspiration.
Alan took a deep puff of the cigarette. As it was a subconscious action when he was thinking, the puff went through his lungs a little too fast. By the time he came to his senses, his chest swelled, he coughed dryly twice, and he saw stars.
His vision was already somewhat dark, and now it was filled with stars, and for a moment Alan was confused.
…
Looking at the stars in front of us, some are big, some are small. Individual stars seem to have no comparison, but when there are many stars, it becomes very obvious to observe which ones are bright and which ones are dim with the comparison.
Huh?
contrast……
Alan seemed to have suddenly caught an inspiration. Isn't it the same between people?
Before the comparison, there was no feeling, but precisely because everyone is different, if they are in the same position and there is a comparison, you can clearly feel which person is good or bad.
It's like...
Daughter-in-law?!
Alan narrowed his eyes and put himself in the Queen's perspective based on his current situation. If Diana was his daughter-in-law, he would definitely look down on Diana before making any comparison.
This kind of person looks naive and innocent, but he can't do anything.
But what if we have Karami as a comparison?
Comparing Diana and Karami, the latter...is not even worthy of carrying Diana's shoes.
She has neither good looks nor personal morals.
No matter how bad Diana was, she would still do charity. Will Karami do the same?
He was an extremely sarcastic and mean person, and his only good point... was that he was very scheming.
Is this a good thing? The royal family is not short of such scheming people.
However... since there will be a comparison now or in the future that can show Diana's advantages, then the Queen is making arrangements in advance and not directly revoking Diana's title. Is this a kind of directional guidance?
The more Alan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
It’s okay if you’re not smart, can’t you just follow those who are smart?
Now that the Queen has made arrangements in advance, Alan feels that with his small body, it is not too much for him to follow the Queen and gain some benefits, right?
Since the Queen has set her sights on Diana, then... Allen can benefit from her!
…
If the two divorced, would Diana have anywhere to go?
Return to their old estate?
Her father passed away this year, and the person in charge of the family has changed. Spencer lives there now. Based on Allen's understanding of Spencer, he is a money-grubber and a prodigal.
Moreover... this guy is not very filial. Although foreigners do not care about filial piety, there is an old saying that if a person does not care about his own parents and is not filial, his personal morality is probably rotten. Don't expect him to be able to be close to his friends. As for brothers and sisters...
Haha... maybe when Diana goes back, Spencer will think that his sister has come back to compete with him for the family property. It is not impossible that he will be cruel and drive Diana out of the house.
Although Diana is now separated from Mr. Cha, all her expenses were still covered by Mr. Cha before her divorce.
But if she gets divorced, she will have no living expenses. Given her extravagant habits, the life that awaits her will not be so good.
Alan thought about how Diana did charity work a few years ago and her old jewelry alone sold for millions of pounds. That was in the 1980s...just a few pieces of old jewelry were worth millions of pounds.
The donations are not inflated, but far lower than the value of the jewelry itself!
You can imagine how much she spends.
An ordinary family cannot afford to support a woman like this. Even if she finds a new man, an ordinary rich man probably cannot support her.
Those who can really afford her may not necessarily like her, or they are afraid of offending the British royal family and dare not develop too much relationship with her. Only some extremely bold people will approach her, but with Allen helping her "clean up" for the past two years, I believe that for a while, no one will dare to approach her.
…
A divorced woman has no money and may even have no place to live, but she has a high status.
Such a person...
Isn’t it just a ready-made puppet?
In addition, the Queen will pay attention to her from time to time. When Caramel gradually comes to the fore, there will be a comparison. I believe many people will miss Princess Diana.
So if Allen can "control" Diana, how much benefit will it bring?
It just so happens... Alan is planning to start his own chain of French restaurants. He had agreed to give Diana dividends after the French restaurants were established. Isn't this money a timely help?
It's just the right source of funds to control her.
While the Queen was paying attention to Diana, she would inevitably observe Allen.
A count who can still help the princess after she has "lost power" and who values feelings, this...
Could it be considered that Allen has created a new persona for himself?
In addition, if William and Harry knew that Allen took such good care of their mother when she was in such a difficult time, it would leave a good and even indelible impression in their little hearts!
When they grow up, these will all be Alan's political capital!
Coupled with what Boss Cha just said praising Allen, all the clues are connected together.
He has two princes, the future king of Britain, and a former queen. Is this power strong enough?
Is it long enough?
As long as Alan accumulates slowly, it will become bigger and bigger in the future!
So what if I can’t be promoted to a noble title?
Did Cromwell have a title?
This thing is interesting!
Alan took a deep breath, put out his cigarette, and looked at Boss Cha. Suddenly, he remembered the important matter. Boss Cha asked him to give a candidate.
This person... Allen originally had no idea, but now that he has a goal, then...
Looking at the cross in front of him, Alan began to repent like Boss Cha.
…
"Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought it through!"
Boss Cha was a little depressed. He had given up hope that Alan could come up with a plan, but he didn't expect that Alan had actually figured it out?!
"Hmm? Who do you recommend to persuade him?"
Allen confessed and replied: "Your Highness... Actually, I know my aunt's character very well. She is very strong. If you want to send someone to persuade her... She will never give in!"
“…”
Allen's words silenced Boss Cha. Based on his understanding of Diana, it seemed to be true. She was a donkey that followed her will do whatever she said, but if you didn't follow her will get angry. In addition, she was a bit self-righteous, so...
"So what do you mean?"
"Your Highness... I think it's better to send someone to stimulate her instead of sending someone to persuade her, Aunt... I hope that Aunt can live a good life after the divorce and have less trouble."
Alan was giving advice to Boss Cha while confessing his guilt.
"Oh? Provoke her?" Boss Cha's eyes lit up, feeling that Alan was indeed talented in unorthodox ways.
The reason he came to church today was to confess and hope that God would forgive him.
He had no choice but to do this. In his heart, he was doing it for Diana's own good.
Now that Alan has finally put forward some constructive suggestions, Boss Cha feels very much looking forward to it.
"Um……"
Alan took a deep breath and his eyes flickered.
"Your Highness... Tell me... If you tell Karami about your impending divorce, what will she do after she knows it? What if you... accidentally let her know a little more information... I believe that in order to get promoted, she will definitely do something for you, for example... hiding it from you and humiliating your aunt in person, or doing something more radical."
…
"Shit! What kind of stupid idea is this?!"
As soon as Allen finished speaking, Boss Cha understood Allen's plan!
If Diana competes with Karami in terms of skills, ten Dianas put together cannot beat one Karami.
Boss Cha is well aware of Karami's methods.
The reason why Diana is still fine is not because of how powerful she is. It is thanks to her bodyguards and also partly due to Allen!
Whether it was Allen's previous killing of the reporter who attempted to deceive Diana, or his teaching a lesson to the American tycoon who pursued Diana, or the recent Egyptian tycoon who was directly chopped into a human stick by Allen.
This is a powerful deterrent that prevents some villains from taking advantage of her.
But now...if Karami knew that the last link that prevented her from ascending to the throne was just to let Diana undergo a minor operation, would she take the risk and target Diana?
What if Allen let Diana off the hook and ignored her during this process?
Based on what Boss Cha knows about Karami, she would really dare to do such a thing just to get promoted!
…
But in this way, the conflict between the two will be planned, but the only benefit is that Boss Cha can be removed from this matter.
From a plan where he instructed Diana to undergo surgery, it became a plan where Karami secretly sent someone to get promoted, or took Diana to force surgery, thus transferring all the hatred to Karami.
Boss Cha took a deep breath. He loved Karami very much, but...
Once this bad idea came to Alan's mind, it was like the devil's whisper, which kept replaying in his mind.
If he didn't say anything, nothing would have happened, but now Pandora's box has been opened by Alan, and Boss Cha has heard it!
…
In order to preserve his reputation and to avoid suffering in his heart, no matter how much he loves Karami, this little sacrifice of reputation seems to be acceptable to Boss Cha.
Although he scolded Alan harshly, Boss Cha fell silent after the scolding.
…
The sunlight shines on the faces of both people, half bright and half dark.
The two people fell silent at the same time. Alan needed to repent. He did not participate in this matter, but he was the one who came up with the idea. Anyway... the result could not be changed. As long as he did not do it personally, he would not have any psychological burden.
As for why he had to pick Karami.
The more bad things this woman does, the more hatred she attracts. Sometimes... there is an annoying target standing there, and she is like a star emitting black light, which not only sets off the brightest star, but also sets off other stars that are not particularly bright.
Alan is one of those stars that is not particularly bright, and he really needs the contrast of this "vicious woman".
As for whether Boss Cha would betray Karami and use her to do this?
Oh……
When you reach a certain status, don’t talk about true love. In the face of interests, nothing can be betrayed.
What’s more, she is a remarried wife.
Isn't it okay if we just don't let her know?
