Chapter 332: Island Nation Building

Hardy's gossip and scandal are now a hot topic and the whole world knows about it. Naturally, his women have also seen the reports.

After reading the text report, Han Ye-jin looked carefully at the photos and had to say that it was really appropriate for Hardy to stand in the middle of the royal family.

Han Ye-jin was very happy that her man became a British baron. Hardy was also awarded the position of governor. It is said that the island is three times the size of Hong Kong Island. Most importantly, it is granted autonomous territory rights.

The more she understood men, the more she knew how big Hardy's ambitions and ideas were. She was afraid that in the future, the Cayman Islands would be turned into a kingdom by men.

Jealous?

It seemed like she didn't even have time to feel jealous before she thought about other things, and was completely thinking about the man.

Besides, if she could accept other women, why couldn't she take a princess?

Ava Gardner is still in Africa, but the filming is almost finished, and she will probably return to the United States in another month. She saw the newspaper in the hotel about Hardy's scandal, and Ava just felt that Hardy was so amazing.

He became a great British nobleman and a baron with fiefdoms.

As for the gossip with the princess, that's none of her business. She's just one of Hardy's women.

As for Elaine and Marilyn Monroe, they are very clear about their identities. With Hardy's current wealth and power, it would be wishful thinking for him to marry them.

It's okay to be Hardy's lover.

The more suitable ones are those big families, such as business families like Rockefeller, Morgan, and Mellon, or political families like Roosevelt. This is called a strong alliance.

Of course,

It would be great if he could marry Princess Margaret, at least his status would be worthy of Hardy.

Taylor was the only jealous woman among Hardy's women. After reading the newspaper, she threw herself on Hardy and said in a coquettish and angry way, "Don't marry Margaret. She has a bad temper and a strong body odor."

Hardy laughed out loud after hearing this.

"Do you smell good?"

"I smell better than her!"

"Aren't you good friends?"

"What's wrong with my best friend? She stole my lover, so we are enemies."

Hardy pinched Taylor's nose and said with a smile, "You know I have other girlfriends. Are you going to beat them one by one?"

Taylor's face fell. "Of course I know Ava, Elaine and Monroe are all your girlfriends, but that's different. If you get together with Margaret, you have to marry her. I'm afraid Margaret won't allow you to have so many girlfriends, including me."

This girl thinks quite far ahead.

Hardy smiled and said, "You have participated in the whole process. These stories in the newspapers are all made up by reporters. You have nothing to worry about. I estimate that in a few days, the British royal family will clarify the rumors."

But this time Hadi miscalculated. He waited for several days, but the royal family did not come out to clarify the rumors.

This is a bit strange.

......

buckingham palace.

Princess Elizabeth was also very surprised when she saw the report in the newspaper. The photo in the newspaper was very clear.

The sister smoothed the corner of Hardy's clothes, which did seem a bit ambiguous, especially in public.

There is also the photo of the two of them smiling at each other. It is not unfair to say that they are full of affection. Princess Elizabeth now understands a little about the grudge between them and knows that most of the things in the newspapers are rumors.

But she was still a little confused about her sister's behavior.

She knew how willful and capricious her sister was. She had never shown affection to any man, let alone been kind enough to help others tidy up their clothes.

She decided to go to her sister to ask about the situation, and came to Princess Margaret's bedroom, where Princess Margaret was reading a book.

Princess Elizabeth sat next to her sister and asked softly: "Margaret, have you read the reports in the newspapers? It's so disgusting. They even said that you and Hardy were in love. I'm going to let the royal spokesman come out to clarify."

Margaret's eyes flashed twice.

With a hesitant expression on her face, she said, "Sister, actually after interacting with Hadi, I feel that he is quite good."

Princess Elizabeth looked at her sister in surprise.

She never expected that her sister was really attracted to Hardy.

Princess Elizabeth frowned and asked, "When did you two start?"

"It didn't start, it was just that there was this strange feeling that I liked being with him and he liked being with me, but we didn't make it clear."

Hardy doesn't know yet that he's been cheated on by his boyfriend.

Princess Elizabeth did not think that Hardy was a good match for her sister. She was rather conservative and believed that her sister should marry a well-educated man from an old aristocratic family and live a normal aristocratic life.

As for Hardy,

Although he obtained British citizenship and the title of baron, they all knew in their hearts that it was just a transaction.

The British government did it for the money, and Hardy did it for the Cayman Islands.

That's all.

To put it bluntly, Hardy is a pure American businessman capitalist and has nothing to do with traditional aristocrats.

Princess Elizabeth looked at her sister, not knowing what to say. This was the first time her sister expressed her thoughts on love.

It's not completely impossible to say that Hardy is not the right person.

It's like a parent wants their child to get 100 points in an exam, but the child only gets 60 points. Elizabeth might refuse sternly and cut off her sister's hope, but she loves her sister very much, so 60 points is not completely unacceptable.

Moreover, the two of them were only vaguely aware of it and had not made it clear.

Princess Elizabeth patted her sister's hand and left. After her sister left, Margaret showed a sly smile.

She made up all those words just now. She thought about it for half the night yesterday. If she really became Hardy's girlfriend, she could go to him openly and let him take her out to play.

It's normal for a boyfriend to take his girlfriend out to play. If they do something out of line and get criticized, then they can just blame Hardy. Margaret thinks this is a great idea.

After leaving Margaret's bedroom and returning to her office, Princess Elizabeth thought for a long time and finally decided to ignore the newspapers.

Say agree?

After all, the two haven't started yet.

Say no.

That would block the way forward.

It’s better not to express your opinion.

Sometimes not expressing an attitude is also an attitude. Many people think that the British royal family or the British government will definitely come out and express their attitude soon, saying that this matter was made up by those newspapers and immediately stop speculating about members of the royal family.

But a few days passed.

The royal family remained silent.

The British government also remained silent.

Let the newspapers report it.

Many people suddenly had a feeling that the newspaper might have guessed this correctly, and now this attitude is equivalent to tacit acceptance.

This made the gossip tabloids even less worried, and this time even the royal family's attitude became part of their newspapers.

"The British royal family has never made a statement on the relationship between Princess Margaret and Mr. Hardy, and it seems that they have agreed or acquiesced to it."

No matter what the outside world speculates about Hardy and Princess Margaret, Hardy has now left the UK and gone to Miami.

Before returning from the UK, Hardy had instructed Andy to contact the legal department, the financial department, and Lanster of HD Security, all in Miami to wait for him to come over and go to the Cayman Islands together.

At the same time, Hardy also hired the largest construction design company in the United States because the Cayman Islands needed construction, which was equivalent to rebuilding a city.

When Hardy arrived in Miami, his men had already leased a large cruise ship. Lanster brought 300 security company personnel, led by Neil MacDonald, who would be stationed in the Cayman Islands for a long time.

Neil MacDonald was Hardy's true confidant. When his wife had no money for treatment, Hardy sold his watches to save his wife and cured her tuberculosis.

There were more than 400 people on board, including security personnel and company staff. They arrived at the Cayman Islands after two days of sailing.

The Cayman Islands are divided into Grand Cayman and two small islands. Grand Cayman has an area of ​​220 square kilometers, accounting for 85% of the total area.

Beaches, coconut trees, blue sky and blue sea.

Beautiful scenery.

This area is mainly composed of coral reef plains with a large circular lake in the middle, which is suitable for mooring ships. The conditions are no worse than those of Victoria Port in Hong Kong. The largest port in Cayman has also been built here.

People have been living here since the 15th century, and it has been more than 400 years since then. However, the population has always been small, with only about 3,000 people now.

In the past, this place was under the jurisdiction of the British Governor-General of Jamaica. There was only one administration office on the Cayman Islands, which was responsible for all matters on the island.

Hadi and his crew's ship was docked at the port. A group of people were already waiting there. The cabin door opened, and teams of security guards wearing black uniforms, carrying packages in their hands and submachine guns on their backs, got off the ship, making the atmosphere at the dock tense.

Good fellow.

There were only a dozen police officers maintaining order on the island, and now hundreds of soldiers armed with live ammunition have arrived, which is frightening to look at.

This is exactly the effect that Hadi wanted. First, he wanted to shock everyone and let them know that he, the governor, was not someone to be trifled with, so that no one would dare to jump out and cause trouble.

Then Hardy took Andy, Taylor and Hardy's company off the ship. The island's administrator immediately stepped forward and greeted Hardy respectfully with a smile, "Hello, Governor Hardy. I am Jack Ross, the island's administrator."

"Hello, Ross, this place looks great. You managed it very well before. Can you take me around the island and introduce it to me?" Hardy said.

"Of course, Governor Hardy, please go in. I have prepared a car." Ross said respectfully.

The island of 220 square kilometers is not small at all. Ross gathered all the vehicles on the island and then took Hardy and his companions around the island.

There are not many facilities on the island now. The main city, Georgetown, has a population of more than 2,000, and several hundred people are scattered in other places.

A city of 2,000 people is no different from a village.

Fortunately, two roads have been built on the island, so the transportation is not too backward.

Because of the fear of typhoons, the tallest building here is only two stories high. There are low houses everywhere. The largest building is a church. After looking around, Hardy said to Andy:

"We have a lot to do. We need to start from scratch, which is equivalent to rebuilding a country."
