Chapter 294 The Covenant
Two days later, Angela and Natalie sent Xia Xia home and took Bucket to London, while Pu Guanshui stayed in Paris to accompany Alizee. He would wait until they were ready to return to the United States. Come over and join them, it's all because of Alizee!
Before she rushed out that night, she hid in Pu Guanshui's room and refused to go out. Of course, it was impossible for Pu Guanshui to keep her in her own room. In the end, it was Nata who learned about Alizee from Angela. Li persuaded the girl to go back, but Angela was no longer there at that time, but lived alone in the newly opened room.
"Obviously, she felt cheated," Natalie, a psychologist with half a bucket of water, explained to Angela. After listening to your narration, I believe that those unfortunate encounters caused her to be autistic!"
"Yes, I can't tell, but I didn't intend to deceive her. As a public figure and a private trip, I have to keep a low profile..." Angela defended angrily and aggrieved.
"I know, we all know, but the problem is, for an autistic and sensitive girl, no matter how many legitimate reasons you have, you are the one who hurt her!" Natalie spread her hands helplessly, " To be honest, I can't understand this feeling, I have never experienced it, I can only state it theoretically."
Angela smiled wryly and covered her forehead without saying a word. In fact, she could understand Alizee's feelings, because she had a similar experience. It was when "he" was surrounded by that kind of desperate paranoia of persecution. I feel that everyone around me is trying to harm me by any means.
"Don't worry, she reacted so strongly, she should still like you very much." Natalie patted her on the shoulder comfortingly.
do not you know?How much you like someone, how much you will hate her after feeling betrayed!The girl grunted in her stomach but didn't say it, and after saying good night to Natalie, she lay down alone on the bed in the new room and rested.
On the second day, although Alizee returned to her original quiet appearance and did not show too much hostility towards Angela, her sense of distrust was very strong, and she didn't even want to talk to the girl. It made Xia Xia, the cheerful little guy, feel that something was wrong, but she was smart enough not to ask anything, so she avoided embarrassment.
As a result, Angela was no longer in the mood to continue to visit, so she returned to London early after another day, but she wisely kept Pu Guanshui and asked her to accompany Alizee well. Grandpa is in London , nothing will happen.
However, the girl's luck was still not very good. As soon as she entered the grandfather's manor, she was stopped by the paparazzi outside. Fortunately, she had already taken off her wig because she had already arrived home at that time. Contact lenses, but there are still a pair of big sunglasses, so the appearance of black hair and black pupils has not been photographed, otherwise don't want to use this appearance to show off in the future.
In fact, this was an accident. No matter how powerful the British paparazzi were, it was impossible for them to know Angela's destination.Besides, the girl has basically not exposed herself to the public during this journey, so the reporter's target should be someone else, but it is enough for them to be excited by accidentally photographing Angela, because the person they are waiting for is not the same as the girl. No relation - HRH The Duke of Francis Albert.Yes, the unscrupulous uncle of the genius girl!
"They really know how to pick the right time!" Angela, who learned the news from the newspaper, gritted her teeth.
Because she was traveling, she basically didn't read the news along the way, especially the entertainment news, so she didn't know anything about a big event that happened in Hollywood before—the girl who is currently worth close to the 2000 million club Celebrity, famously big-mouthed beauty Julia Roberts announces her engagement!
As for who to get engaged to... Needless to say, right?In short, this news is enough to make all the entertainment media crazy. You must know that although Julia’s mysterious boyfriend has appeared in the newspapers frequently, no newspaper has the exact information, let alone photos, and Julia was asked about this He always avoided answering questions, but now that such a blockbuster was thrown out suddenly, the paparazzi naturally came out to look for food like sharks smelling blood, and Angela unfortunately hit the muzzle of the gun.
"They stay outside all day, I can't go anywhere, even if I put on makeup! Even if I'm a little closer to the door, those guys with telescopic arms will hand over countless microphones to ask my opinion. Even if I don't know anything Answer, they can also write things in newspapers, such as what the Sun said here, I was so worried that I came to London to visit my uncle who was engaged, and said that I never thought you would get engaged! God, their imagination is so rich Already!" Angela was able to calm down after complaining frantically into the microphone, and then asked slowly: "I remember you told me that you planned to wait for Julie's movie appointments to end, and then you will be on Thanksgiving. You announced your engagement, but why did you come to the summer vacation early? My dear uncle, please give me a satisfactory answer, thank you!"
"Well, dear, I do plan to wait until November to announce my engagement with Julie, but sometimes accidents are so easy. You know, when you leave for the tour, Julie is still filming in Europe, We only came back three weeks ago, and we were still busy shooting commercials. We didn’t find a chance to get together until we finally finished work a few days ago. I didn’t expect to be photographed by a reporter when we were making out on the balcony of the villa. If it wasn’t for Lawrence reminded me that they might not be aware of it at all, so after discussing with Julie, they simply announced the news of the engagement in the afternoon, otherwise the questions raised by those people outside the manor would be much more complicated !” Frank said haha on the phone.
"Okay, you are always right, so where are you now? You disappeared after you announced the news, and the media is trying to find your whereabouts. Why don't I tell the "Sun" to get a bonus as compensation? "The girl said jokingly.
"Hey, my dear, I didn't know you wanted this little money. It really surprised me. By the way, Julie is here to talk to you." Before Angela protested, Julia's voice It came from the microphone: "Hi, Angie!"
"Hello, Julie...Auntie!" This sentence made the girl almost bite her tongue, and at the same time, Julia couldn't help laughing: "I really want to hug you, Angie."
"Me too," Angela quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Uncle refused to tell me where you were just now, can you tell me? You know that the "Sun" offered 500 dollars to buy the Duke and the Where is the Duchess'?"
"Okay, let me tell you, but I will share half of the bonus." Julia laughed lightly, "We are now in Madagascar, a very nice place for vacation."
"Very well, I will notify them right away, but are you taking the check or direct transfer, aunt?" The girl who continued to joke suddenly felt a slight movement in her heart, followed by a smile on her face: "By the way, you still have some money in the second half of the year." Film appointment?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"If you haven't agreed on a specific script, I can give you a small gift!"
"Gift?" Julia was a little surprised at first, but thinking of the previous sentence, she quickly understood and chuckled immediately: "Okay, I will tell Fabbs to tell him to the film company, then , What kind of surprise will you bring me this time, Angie?"
Of course there will be surprises, but the biggest one is on Uncle!After the call was over, Angela made up her mind that no matter what, she would let him play that role as a cameo. The girl couldn't help laughing wildly in her heart when she thought of the role that the unscrupulous uncle would play.
Although the paparazzi guarded outside the manor tirelessly, it didn't have a big impact on Angela. Anyway, she came to England mainly to see her grandfather, and she basically traveled all over London.
It's a pity that Natalie is also trapped here, because "Little Ghost Thief" has begun to be released in the UK, and she came into the manor with Angela, so she can't be noticed, so even if she wants to go out It is also inevitable that they will be questioned by the reporters, so they will not go out at all. Anyway, the old duke’s manor is enough for them to stroll around, ride horses and swings, etc. Although Angela really laughed at Natalie’s poor equestrian skills-this is really Too rare (Angela).
After another four or five days, Angela and her party bid farewell to their grandfather and prepared to leave London for New York. Although some things failed, such as introducing Natalie to Her Majesty the Princess—it’s a pity that Diana went to Africa to participate in a charity event. I instigated my grandfather to give my uncle some color, because it would shame the reputation of the Albert family—it’s a pity that my grandfather always listened very carefully, and several times he even discussed with Angela what to do, and then turned his head away. forget!
But it doesn't matter, anyway, this trip turned into a mess at the end, it doesn't matter if you have regrets, let's talk about it next time, and even if you return to China, it may not be easy, if Grandpa hadn't arranged the manpower early, getting off the plane would be very difficult Surrounded by reporters, the girl couldn't help but express her resentment towards her unscrupulous uncle who still hasn't appeared in front of Natalie.
"If mom hadn't eloped with dad, I can imagine that grandpa would be dissatisfied with this marriage, and then ask someone to take uncle back and copy the family instructions 500 times!" When they said this, the two girls were Strolling on the tree-lined path, where there is a Gothic castle building, people pass by from time to time, some are in pairs, some are alone, and some are rushing with books. There are also those who wander leisurely like them.
"Really? Then let me think about it. If your mother hadn't eloped with your father, then you wouldn't exist, and your uncle probably didn't have anything to do with Julia, so he probably wouldn't have fallen in love with her." An American woman, then she won’t be caught by Mr. Albert to copy family training!” Natalie cooperated with her in a serious manner, and said with fingers, “In short, if your mother didn’t elope with your father, then Without you, without you, there would be nothing today!"
"It looks... so it is." Angela was suddenly a little lost in thought, which made Natalie frowned, and shook her hand in front of her: "What are you thinking?"
"Ah? Oh, I was thinking about Lily," the girl laughed at herself, "Ryan said, the little girl actually told him not to be my bodyguard because she didn't like me?! I took the bullet, God, I don't know what's going on in her little head!"
"I don't know what's going on in your head now!" Natalie said bluntly, "We were clearly discussing your uncle, but you suddenly jumped on Lily, your way of thinking is really powerful !"
"Okay, okay, let's get back to the topic just now." Angela quickly raised her hands. In this situation, she had better surrender immediately, but after thinking about it, she asked cheekily again Said: "Where did we talk?"
Natalie rolled her eyes: "If Mrs. Elena hadn't eloped with Mr. Jared, it would be impossible for Mr. Albert to arrest Mr. Frank and copy the family instructions!"
Speaking of this, she couldn't help asking: "Angie, if... If possible, can you tell me how Mrs. Elena eloped with Mr. Jared?!"
Looking at the other party's bright eyes, Angela had to sigh that gossip is indeed a female talent, even if she is as smart as Natalie, well, she really wants to know, but no one is willing to tell her.
"Everyone seems to have been given a password ban, and the answers I can get are all vague, that is to say, I only know that my mother followed my father to Los Angeles after she had a falling out with my grandfather, and then I didn't know until after I was born. Get back together." The girl spread her hands helplessly, and to be honest, there are many things like this that I know but don't know in detail, the most typical one is that father and grandpa fell out, or grandma and uncle hardly communicated .
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Natalie knew enough was enough, "Then, have you copied the family motto of the Albert family, Angie?"
"This..." Angela scratched her head in embarrassment, as if it was hard to say.
"Didn't you say that Madam Elena trained you in your manners? I think you should have tried this kind of punishment, right?" Enough doesn't mean that the flame of gossip will be extinguished.
"Once, but..." the girl smiled wryly, "but I wrote on three pieces of paper with three pens in one hand, oh, my God, I really don't want to remember, you have to know the words on each paper. The handwriting must be neat..."
Angela shook her head, as if she wanted to throw the image out of her head, and before Natalie continued to ask questions, she asked, "What do you think of this place? Princeton has been selected as the top school in the United States for several years in a row. University!"
Yes, this place with an elegant environment and ancient buildings is one of the Ivy League schools in the United States, Princeton University in New Jersey, where Einstein once served as a professor!
Because she successfully avoided the entanglement of the reporters, and then also learned to put on makeup Natalie, and finally she and Angela can wander freely in the street for a while. Of course, you still can’t go to places that are too lively, so in the Under Angela's suggestion, the two of them visited nearby universities, such as Columbia University, New York University, Harvard University, etc. Princeton is not far from New York, so they also visited by the way.
"It's not bad, but I always think it's too serious here, and it's too far away from New York," Natalie shook her head after nodding, "I still choose Harvard instead of Princeton!"
Is it still Harvard?Angela thought silently. The reason why she proposed to go to college was to see if Natalie would still choose Harvard. If so——
"Then let's make an agreement, Nat!" Angela said suddenly.
"What?" Natalie blinked, looking at her incomprehensibly.
"I graduated from high school in 98, and I'm waiting for you at Harvard!" the girl said seriously. If she didn't have a reason to go to college before, she now has a reason, "I'm waiting to live with you!"
Natalie opened her mouth wide, and then showed a ridiculous expression, as well as a little touch that could not be detected, and then said solemnly: "Really? Are you so confident to rely on Harvard?"
"I'll take the SAT in the second half of the year—it's valid for two years anyway—and then just spend some time on club activities and electives, or do you think I don't have that ability?" Angela curled her lips, "Or do you think you Don't have that ability?"
"Really? Then wait and see!" Natalie snorted, a blush suddenly flashed on her face, she opened her mouth to continue to say something, but Angela suddenly jumped forward and almost fell, it turned out that someone came from her He accidentally bumped into her as he passed by.
It was a very strange person. Although the summer in Princeton was not very hot because of the geographical location, the guy was still wearing a large long windbreaker and a men's wide-brimmed hat from the 70s and [-]s. His back was slightly bent and his neck was retracted. , as if it was the man who put himself in a cover in Chekhov's works, it looks very weird!The most rude thing was that he was obviously the one who bumped into someone first, but he just turned his head to look at him, then muttered in words that others couldn't understand, turned around and strode away as if there was no one else around.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Angela yelled angrily, and then patted her clothes.
"You should be honored, miss!" A tepid voice came from the side, the girl was stunned, and couldn't help but look at him. It was a middle-aged man in casual clothes who looked calm and calm. Is the school professor.
"Honored?" Natalie asked first.
"Of course, not everyone will be hit by the 'Ghost of Princeton' and even take a look at it." The middle-aged man replied with a smile, and was about to leave slowly. He obviously didn't think the two girls in front of him Can understand what he said.
Ghost of Princeton?Ghost of Princeton!After repeating a few words in her heart, Angela was startled, and hurriedly asked with suspicion: "Excuse me, sir, did you just say... that... that gentleman just now is the 'Ghost of Princeton'?!"
A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man, and then he nodded: "Yes, every professor, every researcher, and every dean here knows him!"
"God!" Angela cried softly, and rushed to the place where the weirdo disappeared.
