"Let's get a divorce..."
Looking at the white man's eyes and thinking about the past few days, Tia Leoni lifted the hair behind her ears and mustered up the courage to speak.
"???"
The humiliation that had just risen in the white man's heart was shattered by this sentence before he could even linger.
He was arrested and detained in the police station for a few days for no reason and fined a large amount of money. When he saw his wife for the first time after he got out, he wanted a divorce before he could even say a few words?
What's happening?!
Why did my wife become a different person in just a few days?
"Why? Why? You..."
…
"Why? Why?"
Alan held the information in his hand, puzzled. The "Little Duke" James had been living in his small manor in London for more than a month. Why hadn't he taken any action yet?
Looking at the dosage recorded in the document, I think there is nothing wrong with it. A large amount has been added, so why doesn't this guy show any signs of going crazy?
Even if you're a pig, you'll have some temper, right?
Why doesn't he act?!
"Master... I... I think that maybe the court hasn't officially opened yet, so the pressure on him isn't great enough? You know, the information shows that he has been rather unruly over the years, but he is not very courageous... "
Xiao Shitou was also a little helpless. This was already the second time he had increased the dosage, and he was afraid that if he increased it again, something bad would happen!
It wasn't someone else who got into trouble, but the little duke.
"Hasn't the court's preliminary investigation been completed yet?"
I have been preparing to go to court to seek justice since the beginning of the year. How many months has it been?
Are the British courts so slow? So inefficient?
"I asked someone and it's estimated that the court hearing will not start until the end of the year at the earliest. And...even if the court hearing starts, there is a high probability that there will be no result."
After hearing what Xiao Shitou said, Alan realized that although Britain had all kinds of halos, the aristocratic group had remained very stable from the post-war period to the present.
Whether it is various policies or the ways of doing things of each family, although everyone keeps a low profile, it does not mean that the aristocracy is no longer important in Britain!
Without mentioning anything else, let’s just talk about the total number of properties owned by all the nobles. How much are they?
If the heir to the title could be changed by simply filing a lawsuit, it would throw the entire aristocracy into chaos!
Among the British nobility today, even illegitimate children who are blood-related are not eligible for the title, let alone a situation where the eldest son is deposed and the youngest son is enthroned.
As long as the family members are not extinct, the youngest son will never be able to take charge of the family.
This is the bottom line of the aristocracy, this is the rule!
The laws of our ancestors cannot be abolished.
Knowing this result, Allen planned to find a lawyer to help James with the lawsuit.
This thing...ever since the Duke of Marlborough started it, there's no chance of winning!
Even if Allen didn't stand up to help James, someone would help him secretly. Even if no one helped him, the Queen would not agree!
The core of the matter is just that simple.
Allen now wants to instigate him to take action and destroy their family, but James has not taken any action, which is a bit frustrating!
He wants to make some big noise, but London these days... isn't very lively!
…
"Ah..." The person being supported is too timid, which is sometimes not necessarily a good thing.
Putting down the information, Alan thought for a moment and asked again, "What does the Welsh Parliament say about our plan?"
"There's no problem with the railway, but we can't get in touch with the power company and the gas company. They are too deeply involved with the London Assembly, and they are unwilling to let go. Master... I think if we really want to take them down, the price we need to pay will be too high."
"Um……"
Some time ago, Allen asked his female secretary to make a development plan. The plan was completed and the overall plan was very large. His main purpose was to take the opportunity to acquire some state-owned enterprises.
Now the London Parliament has been forced by a group of old guys... and has let out some information. All it needs is a slight push from that last person, and it will be completed.
As for Wales, although there are people who want to make a move in this regard, Alan believes that these small fry can only follow behind him and pick out the remaining crappy ones. The best ones... must be picked by Master Alan first!
As for state-owned enterprises... forget about industries with huge profits, the parliament won't let go of that kind of business. The ones that can be released now are basically... asset-heavy, require a large number of people to operate, and are in poor operating conditions.
For example, roads, railways, electricity, and gas. The latter two... have basically been reserved by their political families. People like Allen can only focus on the first two.
Highway... Alan doesn't want it. Wales is a shabby place with a vast area and sparse population. Building a highway is a sure loss. There is no need to think too much. Invest hundreds of millions of pounds to repair the road, and then what?
Shouldn't it be more convenient for these country bumpkins to drive to sell cattle and go shopping in the city?
Even if there is a toll station every ten miles, how much money can you make in a year?
Even if Alan doesn't buy the highway, he can send people to block the intersection. Can't he use this road alone?
In recent years, he doesn't even need to look at traffic lights when he goes out. Who dares to say anything?
…
But the railway is different. It can sell tickets and charge per person. The most important thing is that many Welsh people usually go to England to work because the salary there is high. After work, they take the money and return to Wales to spend it.
When the railways were in government hands, ticket prices were not particularly expensive and were basically not much more expensive than driving.
But what if Allen took the railroad?
Double the ticket price first!
Just this one move would make those Welsh people who used to work in other places vomit blood.
The cost of living has increased. Even if the salary in England is higher, after deducting the round-trip fare, the remaining amount is almost the same as the income from working locally. So why go out to work?
In this way, if many people choose to stay and work locally because of the high train tickets, wouldn't this stimulate domestic demand?
As long as population mobility decreases, public security conditions will improve accordingly.
Isn't it his job to improve the public security situation? !
As for...whether the economy will recover as a result, Alan has no control over that. What does the life and death of ordinary people like them have to do with him?
As long as they controlled the railway, they would be able to control the way for the Welsh to go out to work. Of course...
If someone is stubborn enough to drive six or seven hours a day to work in England, he can't stop them...
As long as the train can intercept most people and keep them in the local area, he can sell the goods later. Isn't this equivalent to...
Are we going to round up these millions of Welsh people and treat them as leeks to be harvested at will?
As long as he has the skills to cut, he can do it for a lifetime!
…
Alan sighed and rubbed his brows. He had almost finished dealing with the recent matters at hand. The only thing left was to lead the team to participate in the Commonwealth Games in Canada in July.
"By the way, write an application in a while, and you will be my knight squire from now on. How is the progress of the people I asked you to select?"
Regarding the Knights, even though Boss Cha has given him the power, Alan is not in a hurry.
He has people on his hands, but this thing... it can't be organized once from above. It won't take long for him to organize hundreds of people for the entire Welsh branch of the Knights, right?
If he really dared to do this, what would Boss Cha think?
If Alan were in charge of all matters, then... it would be a bit more efficient, but now he has to send the list of every new knight to Boss Cha for approval, so he has to be cautious.
Allen planned to select people while treating this quota as a reward.
Only the most loyal bodyguard in the family and the one who has done the most responsible work in recent years is eligible for this position.
In order to motivate his subordinates, Allen used to have the title of knight, which... was a bit too high for a bodyguard. Now, only three people in the whole family have been given the title of knight, just to ensure the value of this honor.
Now, with unlimited knight places, things will be easier in the future.
"More than a dozen people have been selected. What do you think?"
"Then take them with you first. I'll take them with me when I go to Canada this time."
“Okay, I understand!”
…
July 17, 1994.
The temperature outside in Los Angeles was nearly 30 degrees in the afternoon, but at this time in the Rose Bowl Stadium, the cheers, noise, and sounds of various horns from fans were mixed together, so much so that the window glass in the box was shaking slightly.
Alan sat on the large sofa and took a bite of watermelon smoothie. Tia Leoni next to him very obediently took a napkin and wiped Alan's mouth.
As the Commonwealth Games was about to open, Alan ran away as usual. He told the deputy team leader that he would come to America to watch the World Cup first!
Originally, Allen didn't plan to have this trip, but unfortunately... the public's demand was too loud!
…
The last time was during the 1990 World Cup in Italy, when Allen was also the team leader. He led the England team and bravely made it to the semi-finals. Although they lost in the semi-finals, everyone at the time, whether the head coach or Allen, received a medal for this. It was considered the best result of Britain's World Cup journey in the past decade.
But I didn’t expect that… In just four years, Great Britain had the Premier League, the international ban period was also resumed, and the domestic league was bustling, but when the World Cup came…
Among the four handsome teams of Great Britain, not a single team could make it to the World Cup finals!
The Welsh men's football team is not very good, so it is understandable that they cannot enter the World Cup, but this time even the highly expected England men's football team... was blocked from the World Cup finals!
Great Britain is the birthplace of modern football and a European football powerhouse!
They didn’t even make it to the World Cup finals!
This is seen as the greatest humiliation for the England team in recent decades.
From the head coach to the team leader, let alone medals, there is not even a single feather!
As the World Cup officially got underway in June, while watching other national teams making their debuts on TV, the traditional powerhouse England could only stay at home and watch TV.
Who can understand this feeling?
Once they are resentful, the fans will vent all their resentment on...the head coach and team manager!
Obviously, the last time there was a dandy young noble leading the team, they were able to make it to the semi-finals, but this time there was a more professional leading the team, but they couldn't even make it to the finals? !
In addition to the abuse of the head coach and team manager of this term, countless fans began to miss the team manager, Mr. Allen!
Some people even came up with a twisted theory, saying... Master Allen is a naturally lucky person, and as long as he is involved in something, others can share in his good luck.
Then there were the curious media, which listed out Allen's life, saying that he had a bad temper and a slight stutter when he was a teenager, and that his family encountered a sudden change when he was young, and then he suddenly inherited the title.
And in the past few years, whether it was being a nanny for the royal family, taking care of the two princes, or the speed at which Allen's own property increased, in short... through scattered reports, many people have discovered that Allen seemed to have been smooth sailing since he inherited the title. Whatever he did... although it wasn't the best, the results were okay!
Although it has not reached the level of cheating, this kind of good luck, coupled with Allen's own identity, is enough for most ordinary people to envy!
With the domestic public opinion like this, Allen simply came to America. It happened that the World Cup final was held in Los Angeles, and he could come here to see the results of Carl's work in recent times. It was like... half business and half travel.
…
"Stop busying yourself and come here!"
Alan watched Tia Leoni busying around, especially the suspender skirt she was wearing today and the collar in front... Every time she squatted, she would attract Alan's attention.
It’s not that Alan has poor control, but today is too boring!
The Brazilian and Italian teams off the field have been playing for an hour. Dunga and Baggio, such big stars, haven't even scored a goal in an hour. Although the two teams have been competing against each other, for a non-fan like Alan, he just thinks the game is not good to watch. Both teams are very nervous, and there is only competition but no goals!
Looking at this thing too much makes people drowsy, and the sunlight shining in from the floor-to-ceiling windows makes people want to do something to distract themselves.
…
Touching Tia Leoni's little face, Alan grinned wickedly. The air conditioner in the box was set to a very low temperature. He suddenly felt a little cold and needed... warmth!
"Come on! I found a play for you. I'll arrange for someone to contact you in a few days. Then you can go to the crew for an audition and go through the process...hiss~"
This woman, Tia Leoni, was very honest in front of Alan. She knew what Alan meant as soon as he touched her head and gave her a look. She did her job and Alan was still talking to her. When he talked about the arrangements for her, maybe she was too excited and she used a little force, which made Alan gasp.
“Boom boom boom!”
There was a knock on the door outside the box at a very inopportune time, but Allen did not want to pay attention to it. He squinted his eyes and looked at the game below in a daze... It seemed that someone had fouled again. Allen might not like other aspects of the Italian team, but their defense... was really good!
This is called a classical defender, right?
They don't commit fouls after tackling someone. Only in a small probability will they bring someone down, like now. Although it was a foul, they didn't get a card. The defense was very clean, unlike the current England team... they are just reckless.
