[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

Mr. Darcy also wore a well-cut dress.The details are different from Anwen's, with less fancy parts and a little more calm.

Georgiana, who was standing next to him, was wearing a long lavender dress. The satin design made her clothes flow like a clear stream at night.Skye was not surprised by the stark contrast he would have standing next to Georgiana.And she did.

"You are beautiful tonight." Mr. Darcy stood still for a while, and finally said this.

"Of course. I think I've always been pretty."

One word from Skye kept him silent.Listening to the interaction between these two people, Anwen couldn't help but secretly smiled. Who would have thought that one day, seeing Mr. Darcy deflated would become a great pleasure for him.What's more, he is not the only one who gloats so much. Look, doesn't Georgiana, who is standing by the side, also smile with her lips pursed, and she can't help but laugh?

It can only be said that it is a very interesting thing for the general public to be fortunate enough to see Mr. Darcy's speechless appearance.

"Your necklace is very beautiful, it's the first time I've seen you dressed up like this." Mr. Darcy glanced at An Wen who was secretly smiling.Anyway, his impression of Anwen couldn't be worse. This man is Skye's brother and the Duke's adopted son. He has an impeccable public image, but in private he is a rascal.

"Anwen gave it to me." Skye showed off rarely.She probably didn't realize that she was like a contented kid who got candy.And the fact is, in the years before that, no one would have thought of giving her a necklace.

"It suits you very well." Mr. Darcy's words finally hit the point.His constant groping was paying off, and Skye smiled delightedly.

Darcy silently wrote down what Skye was wearing today and the style of her necklace.Skye is indeed very suitable for wearing this kind of jewelry. At this time, Darcy Pan has already planned to take a trip to the jewelry store and give Skye a necklace.

Georgiana glanced at the complacent Anwen with a strange expression.She didn't expect Anwen to buy a necklace for Skye so soon.After all, Anwen seemed a bit out of touch, and he didn't seem to be such a vigorous and decisive person.

When thinking this way, the scene of Anwen's fight that day lingered in Georgiana's mind... Perhaps, Mr. Anwen's work time was not counted.Georgiana silently added to her memory.

Two pairs of brothers and sisters walked into the Duke's house one after another.The night and lights decorated the place magnificently, but Skye still saw some signs of decadence sharply.

This is certainly not concretely reflected in polished silverware, or energetic servants.The rise and fall of a manor can be glimpsed from the vegetation.The trees in the manor are not very green, and the withered branches exude an aura of little interest.And this neglect is almost fatal.

Skye had a certain guess about the Duke's character early on.What I saw at this time only added some certainty.She whispered in Anwen's ear, "You don't come here often, do you? I guess his will is a bit unsatisfactory?"

The 'he' here refers to the Duke himself.For a duke who has no heirs, apart from his power during his lifetime, the only thing he cares about is his will after death.

Anwen didn't think there was anything wrong with discussing this at his adoptive father's residence.He also answered Skye in a low voice: "He has a lot of debts, and this is not what I want."

The two brothers and sisters walked down the red carpet with their heads held high.Most people around know Anwen—this is Anwen's daily life circle, but few people know Skye.They looked at this high-profile woman curiously, and those who were late in the news would guess that this was Anwen's female companion.

Anwen's female companion never repeated it.He tended to invite some respectable ladies, treating the banquet as a kind of etiquette rather than a conversation.Some people have speculated about Anwen's sexual orientation, and no scandal itself is a very curious situation.

"Mr. Ant, good evening." As the first person holding a wine glass approached the Holt brothers and sisters, their work tonight had just begun.

"This must be your long-lost sister. This kind of poetic reunion is simply the most extravagant romance!" Although her heart was already filled with a cry of 'Is this guy sick?'.Skye still looked at Anwen's friend with a smile.

"Skye Holt." Skye introduced his name.

On the side, Anwen introduced this gentleman who suddenly appeared - the editor-in-chief of a well-known newspaper, and he also added the title of baron.Newspaper owners always stand at the pinnacle of public opinion, even if they themselves are crazy, no one can attack them.

"I have read the articles of your newspaper, they are very pragmatic." Skye is indeed very impressed with this newspaper.That was the era of the Sky Bookstore, and she still clearly remembers how she and Mr. Darcy ridiculed the inconsistencies in the contents of the newspaper, making mistakes and omissions just for the sake of sensationalism.

Thinking back, Mr. Darcy was also a rebellious young man with a slightly mocking color. Who would have thought that he can be awe-inspiring now in a steady manner, and he seems to be a senior in the crowd out of thin air, and the ladies around his age all use He looked at him with the eyes of an uncle and an elder.

Ahem, of course not all of them see him that way, but there are indeed.

Skye considered the examples he could give of the newspaper.She and Anwen boasted happily, almost forgetting the original intention of flattering the owner of the newspaper.

In between, Skye would look up at Mr. Darcy not far away, who was by Georgiana's side, chatting with another group of women.Looking at the appearance of their brothers and sisters, Skye somehow reminded him of a pure lamb caught in a flock.

Compared with the situation where the Darcy brothers and sisters were miserably introduced in the social arena, the situation of the Holt brothers and sisters is not optimistic.Flattery abounds, and Skye guesses that there are still people who would introduce Anwen's mistress in the past, but this time she is by Anwen's side, those people can't talk about it, and there is simply no one who talks about the relationship between men and women.

"...You brothers and sisters are really amazing. I almost forgot what I wanted to tell you!" Finally, the newspaper owner in front of him still remembered his original intention, and he extended an invitation to Anwen: "I said it a long time ago. , your story is simply a legend, do you really not want to serialize your autobiography in our newspaper?"

Already miserable enough to sell the story?Skye didn't intervene in this matter, but he didn't expect the conversation to turn to her side.

"Miss Skye too. During the years you were separated, there must have been a lot of unpleasant things." The newspaper owner looked at Skye's expression as if he was looking at a little quail that was once drenched in a storm.It seems that no matter how glamorous Skye stands in front of people now, her past must have been horrible.

Skye laughed a little.

She really didn't have such a miserable experience, and what's more - this newspaper owner is regarded as an outpost of the Duke.Before I even showed up, I found someone to come over to demonstrate. She felt a little sympathetic to Anwen's experience over the years.

"Okay. Looks like I have to confess... Some people from other newspapers came to my house and asked me to write. They also wanted to record my story, but I declined."

"The rejection at the time may not necessarily be the rejection now. I think compared to the strength of our newspaper, those third-rate tabloids really have to decline." The newspaper owner was a little displeased with Skye's change from passive to active, but he simply despised Skye. So I asked casually: "Then what is your reason for refusing?"

"I guess they don't want to see how I got a place in the Thornfield Club. And many of my partners don't like me...to be in the public eye." Skye was impatient and continued to toss with the newspaper owner.

The fact that Anwen didn't stop her from the sidelines had already hinted that the striker was just cannon fodder.She doesn't need to be too humble with this one.

"Sangfelt Club?!" The owner of the newspaper looked at Skye in surprise.

One of the most famous clubs in London, between black and white, does have a certain tolerance for gender.The owner of the newspaper was stunned. He managed to suppress all his thoughts and hurriedly asked, "Is the newspaper that invited you..."

"They asked me to write an article related to women's rights. But I don't think this is what I should do. The world is still in a daze, and my pen must not be able to break through the barriers. Do you also What do you think?"

"..." The owner of the newspaper looked at Miss Holt in astonishment.He wasn't sure if he was crazy or if the world was crazy.But when he thought of the Thornfield Club that this woman had entered, he asked a little unwillingly: "Since this is the case, can you guess that you didn't meet Mr. Ante not long ago?"

Borrow Anwen's strength to join the club and secretly develop himself.None of them want to believe that Skye has achieved himself by himself.Because that is the most favorable mockery of their incompetence.

"I don't think there is such a possibility." Skye shook his head, flatly rejecting this cowardly speculation.

Skye and Anwen exchanged glances.The latter is very happy to see Skye killing the Quartet.When Anwen didn't have Georgiana by his side, everything was very normal.He secretly thanked himself for his decision to send Elsie back to school early, because according to the current situation, Elsie is not yet capable of resisting these official affairs, but Skye is mature enough and stable, even exceeding his expectations.

"Then I'll take my leave first. My male partner is there... I believe you can understand that you can't stay with your brother all the time when you go to the dance. Then I wish you a happy evening." Skye reported The owners clinked their glasses and strode towards Darcy.

She didn't miss the embarrassing look of Darcy being stared at by a young lady and her mother, so she decided to come out to save the scene in time, and also declared her sovereignty by the way.

Anwen and the owner of the newspaper also stood there in astonishment.

Only one thought flashed before Anwen's eyes - did Skye and Darcy have an appointment?Whose girlfriend is Georgiana?

——It is impossible for Darcy to let Georgiana stay alone. Of course, if her dancing partner is himself, Anwen is sure that he will know in advance.The problem is he doesn't know!

So the conclusion is...he is destined to have no one to accompany him today, so he wants to attend the dinner alone? !
