British 1986

Taking the document bag from the secretary, Donald looked at the tapes and photos contained in the document bag, as well as a small piece of paper made from letters cut out of newspapers.

"If you don't want to make a big fuss, send it off in a certain neighborhood before eight o'clock in the evening."

On the note was a small request.

The other party asked for one million dollars!

In the past, this amount was just a drop in the bucket for Donald.

But at this critical moment, how can he have a million dollars?

He can't even pay the interest on the debt, let alone one million, he doesn't even have one hundred thousand. What he is considering now is whether to call his father at home for help and ask him to help him. Money to tide you over.

But looking at this note, Donald also found that the matter was getting more and more complicated. Since the sender dared to threaten him without having anything, how dare they?

"What's on the tape?"

Looking at this unremarkable tape, before listening to it, there was nothing much that could be seen in the attached photo.

What does a photo of a man and a woman in front of a hotel say?

Donald held the small tape with a gloomy face and looked at the secretary with a gloomy face.

"Uh, boss, the content may be a bit private, so you'd better listen to it yourself."

Although he has listened to the tape, the secretary is not easy to talk about this kind of thing.

His boss is very conceited, even a little narcissistic. Most brands like to be named after him. Faced with such a boss, he can't say, this is your wife's live broadcast, right?

"Yeah." Looking at the secretary's slightly embarrassed expression, Donald frowned even deeper.

There was a small tape recorder on his desk, which he only used when he occasionally needed to listen to music. He picked up the tape and inserted it into the tape recorder.

"Boss, I still have some issues that need to be dealt with. I'm going out first."

When the secretary saw Donald's actions, he nodded quickly and found an excuse to leave the office first. He didn't want to wait for the tape to be played later and both of them would be present, causing embarrassment.

The sizzling sound followed the rotation of the tape, and some noise slowly came from the speaker of the tape recorder.

It can be heard from these noises that this is a recording somewhere, and the other party's recording equipment does not seem to be professional.

"Hey Andre."

A man's voice came, followed by a relatively suppressed curse.

"Stop talking idiot, I'm recording."

Then the voices of the two people disappeared. It may be that the two recorders were adjusting the equipment. Then, the voices of a man and a woman came from the recording.

Although it is only an audio tape and not a video tape, there is no picture, only sound.

But just from the voice, Donald still heard it.

A woman's voice was trance-like.

As the woman sometimes cursed louder and louder.

As the old saying goes, everything good and cool are all lies.

Only Farke can give the best compliment.

The voice on the tape is just like this, and there are endless compliments.

But the more Donald listened to this voice, the more familiar it became. This voice was somewhat familiar.

"."

With just such a phrase, Donald finally understood who this familiar voice was!

This seems to be my wife!

With a gloomy look on his face, Donald pressed the pause button on the recorder.

The tape progressed over time, and it was only a short period of more than forty minutes. However, in the recording of more than forty minutes, there was not much dialogue in the first ten minutes. On the contrary, there were more dialogues in the later stages.

Two people were chatting intermittently.

They are all common gossips in life, and they talk about trivial matters at home.

From the chat content between the two people, it can be seen that the relationship between the man and the woman in the recording should be considered quite familiar.

Especially the woman's voice, Donald was very familiar with it.

Picking up the phone on the table, Donald called home with trembling hands.

After a few beeps, the person on the other end of the phone answered the phone and it was the housekeeper of the house.

"gentlemen!"

“Is Ivana at home?”

"My wife went to the beauty salon."

"Um"

After Donald pondered for a few seconds, he pretended not to care and asked, "Is your wife going out during this period? I mean traveling or something?"

The housekeeper waited for a few seconds before replying: "My wife went to Wales last month and also to Porto, France."

"."

Donald looked at the photo and saw the front door of the hotel in Porto that he had invested in. He was still very familiar with it.

This evidence matches the time.

"Okay, I get it!"

After hanging up the phone, Donald's chest heaved with anger.

He didn't understand the principle of good fortune and misfortune coming alone, but at the most difficult time in his life, he received this file bag, and the audio tape in the file bag gave him another heavy blow.

Look at the small note sent with the document.

These damn French guys, there are a lot of thieves there. This should be the sound of a group of thieves who overheard something on the wall when they were burglarizing a house, and then conveniently recorded the sound.

Then the other party took another photo of the person being recorded the next day, and finally sent this thing to blackmail him based on the picture!

But

Now Donald not only doesn't want to give money, he even wants to kill the thief who sent him something.

What man could bear such blackmail?

After taking a few deep breaths, Donald picked up the phone on the table and dialed a phone number that he had not called for a long time. He wanted to ask his father for help and money!

Alan is very busy in the lead up to Christmas.

First of all, with Old Carl's intervention, Bentley's matter was resolved very smoothly!

Several old employees who had not wanted to move before happened to have some problems.

Some were in car accidents, and some suddenly fell ill and died.

Anyway, according to other employees, they will soon move to Carmarthen to enjoy the blessings. It seems that these people will not be so lucky.

Without the burden of these employees, the signing of the contract between the two parties went very smoothly.

The purchase price had been negotiated long ago.

The internal friendly price is 673 million pounds, which varies from zero to full.

Although Bentley is a car company, it does not have any high-end fully automatic production lines.

To say it is handmade does not mean that all parts are handmade.

Instead, there are two simple assembly lines. Most of the parts are ordered from upstream supporting companies and require manual assembly later. There are many parts of the interior that require handcrafting.

And without the fully automated car production line, there won't be many other valuable things.

The price of nearly 700 million pounds was an internal friendship price given by the other party's custody company because of Allen's aristocratic status.

And with the giving of this money, Allen's vitality was greatly damaged. This was the largest sum of money he had spent since he was a child.

After spending this money, all the money from Sony's pit has been almost consumed.

But in Allen's opinion, the money is well spent!

Putting down the document about Bentley, he picked up a letter next to it.

This is what Christina wrote to him. It's Christmas again, and Christina wants to invite Alan to Spain for vacation.

But Allen isn't going anywhere this year.

In a few days, it will be lively!

It's better to stay at home and watch the fun.

When the eyes of the whole world are focused on the Middle East.

At this critical moment when the ultimatum was only half a month away, a piece of very explosive news was first exposed by the American media and then quickly reproduced by other media.

The cause of the incident cannot be verified, but the authenticity of the incident is very high!

Several prominent media outlets received the anonymous tapes.

Donald, who had already struggled to get the money to settle the matter, never expected that those "thieves" who had never kept their word would actually release the tape after receiving one million US dollars!

What's this?

This is a revelation from a wealthy American businessman with a net worth of several billion dollars, and it even involves a British aristocrat!

As soon as such tidbits were exposed, the news coverage instantly covered everything in the Middle East.

New Year's Eve

To put it in more fashionable terms, as soon as the news was exposed, it instantly became a hot search topic!

There are rumors of an affair between a well-known aristocratic director and the wife of a well-known wealthy American businessman, and there is even a tape. Is this news exciting?

Highgrove Manor, in the study.

Boss Cha took the newspaper with a gloomy look, threw it on the coffee table, and looked at Allen standing in front of him, furious.

Although many places involving names of people in newspapers have been blurred.

But anyone with a discerning eye will know who they are if they meet the requirements.

This Chinese New Year is so embarrassing!

"Do you have no money? Or have your tastes changed? Tell me, why did you provoke her? Huh?! What on earth is going on?"

Boss Cha was really speechless about the big news that Allen had made.

He simply didn't believe that a thief was recording next door to Allen.

The day after the incident, he couldn't wait to call Allen to the manor for questioning. All activities today were postponed by him.

Allen looked at the furious Boss Cha and didn't want to explain. He took out a small card from his pocket and handed it to Boss Cha.

With an angry look on his face, Boss Cha took what Allen handed over. He had just finished reading it and was still a little confused.

"This is a little card that Donald wrote in his own hand when he sent flowers to my aunt."

Looking at Boss Cha who was a little confused, Allen didn't care whether he was pretending or not, and explained to him the origin of this little card.

"."

Boss Cha squinted his eyes, took the card, looked at the disgusting words on it, and then looked at the expressionless Allen.

The words on the card made him very uncomfortable. Whether he knew it or not was one thing, but he was not divorced yet.

And in this case, someone actually came to poach him.

And what about Allen?

Is this a way of treating others the way they treat others?

Although the results of the method look very satisfying, the reputation is not good!

Huh.

Just when he thought about reputation, Boss Cha suddenly realized that he was looking at the problem from his own perspective.

What if you look at it from another perspective?

Allen doesn't know what he's thinking. If he thinks it's something he doesn't want to care about, then he

Are you forcing yourself?

No, no, no

For a moment, Boss Cha was a little confused as to why Allen did this in the name of self-destruction.

Even if this little card is the cause, can't there be another method?

Now that he has this little card, it's hard for him to continue to quarrel with Allen.

No matter what Allen did, his purpose was still relatively clear, for revenge!

This was just revenge from his subordinates to vent their anger on him.

Hey, thinking of this, Boss Cha suddenly understood.

Looking at Allen who was staring at the ground in a daze, Boss Cha suddenly figured out why Allen did what he did.

He can come directly to vent his anger, or he can come to him with this small piece of paper to complain.

But it is undeniable that these things will make you a little embarrassed and make you lose face.

He likes to save face, and I believe Allen knows this too.

If you come directly to yourself with this kind of card, what will you do? To care or not to care?

This is difficult for him to do!

But now, things have come out. Allen did not trouble himself, but made the people who sent flowers and cards unlucky. Putting aside everything else, the American media has been very lively these days!

Thinking about what was in the news, Boss Cha was even a little happy.

And I didn't lose much face. I didn't even have to respond to this piece of paper. It was just that Allen's reputation was severely damaged.

It is somewhat disgraceful for a majestic British aristocrat to be involved in such a thing.

His little brother took the card and came to him as if to embarrass himself.

Or his younger brother directly did something for him and spoke out in a bad mood.

Of these two methods, most people probably prefer the latter.

Thinking of this, Boss Cha's expression softened, he pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Sit down."

Allen was not in a hurry to sit down. Instead, he raised his head, glanced at Boss Cha and said, "My aunt had a chat with me when she sent William and Harry here some time ago. He often sent his secretary to harass her."

Boss Cha twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded, indicating that he approved of Allen's statement.

Now that Allen has done this, it seems like it's time to help him defend himself. For example, ban the British media from discussing these things anymore?

Coming out of Highgrove Manor, Alan looked out the window.

He is not deliberately trying to discredit himself, nor does he care about his reputation.

Compared to exposure to the outside world, he had nothing to fear.

Look at the words used in these media, most of them are suspicious, seemingly, and the like.

A recording and a unclear photo mean nothing!

Even if it's true, so what?

The outside world will never know that he broke the news on his own initiative. Instead, the two so-called "thieves" will be labeled as greedy.

As for who the thief is, let them find it slowly.

Alanka allowed this kind of news to be exposed to the outside world during this time period, which can be regarded as leaving a way out for himself.

Now, it seems that his reputation has been damaged and a scandal has been exposed.

But not all scandals are bad!

Scandals also score heads and tails.

Stories involving scandals also have deeper reasons.

If you don't know the inside story, this matter will look like a scandal between Allen and a certain noble lady.

As a nobleman, it is understandable that he has some scandals. Anyway, he is not married yet, and at most he will be criticized morally.
