In order to express support for the hostess, when Phyllis returned to her parents' home, Anna and Bella both followed Phyllis to the mayor's mansion. Phyllis even took away the chef of the Baron's Mansion. Rock returned to
The baron's palace didn't even have food to eat.
Rock was too embarrassed to find a chef temporarily. He really couldn't afford to embarrass this person. Zach tried very hard to cook for Rock, but he really couldn't swallow it.
Rock threw away his chopsticks as soon as he took a bite. The steak was undercooked. Although Zach carefully removed all the burnt parts with a knife, it was still difficult to eat: "You did it on purpose, right? You can't even fry a steak. It's really not possible."
Don’t you know how to stew?”
Rock was depressed, Zach probably did it on purpose, otherwise it would not be so delicious. Zach was obviously very good at barbecue during the outing before.
Zach couldn't speak and could only gesture.
"There's new equipment in the kitchen, but you don't know how to use it! That's a good reason." Rock took off the napkin and threw it on the table in front of him. Then he wanted to feed the steak to the big guy to see if he would eat it.
Then Rock discovered that the big guy had probably followed Phyllis back to her parents' house.
Roque was simply angry. He couldn't live his life anymore. Everyone in the family, including the dog, were traitors. He didn't know how Phyllis managed to win people's hearts.
Zach would never betray Roark no matter what, and Phyllis could not be swayed and continued to spar with Roark.
"Oh, Anna and Bella are going to persuade Phyllis to come back, so they can't take all the chefs away?" Rock actually knew that Phyllis was not necessarily very angry, and was probably just expressing an attitude, but this approach was definitely
It cannot be promoted.
So Rock decided to go to Phillip's house for a meal and see if he could coax Phyllis back.
When Roque came to Phillip's house, Phyllis had already had lunch and was reading English stories to coax Gavin to take a nap. This is said to be the most original way of life for aristocrats.
Rock was complaining that if a little kid of a few months old could understand Shakespeare, only a time traveler could do it.
"Is there anything I can eat? I'm starving to death." Of course Rock had to act as miserable as possible. Before arriving, Rock even considered whether to change into a set of dirty clothes. In the end, he didn't change because he couldn't afford to throw them away.
that person.
"You can go to the banker's house for dinner." Phyllis was so arrogant that she even took the initiative.
At this time, the benefits of having an insider were seen. Bella and two maids secretly brought over various snacks, and soon the table was full.
"The food at home is more delicious." Luo Ke made a pun immediately.
Phyllis was complaining, and she didn't forget to pour water for Roque.
"It's really too crowded here." This was the reason Rock thought up on the road.
Although the mayor's residence is large, there are only so many servants' rooms. Phillip originally had a lot of servants, and with the people Phyllis brought back, it was indeed a bit crowded.
"It's a bit crowded, but it's not a bad thing." Phyllis hasn't put down her hand yet, but she's obviously not thinking about it. Gavin's babbling protests didn't attract Phyllis's attention.
"Phyllis" Owen, who arrived just in time to watch the fun, reminded Phyllis not to go too far. A step would be enough.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's my fault. I didn't handle it well." Roque immediately admitted his mistake. This can't be blamed on Phyllis for not knowing the general situation. Even a woman would be angry.
"What are you going to do?" Phyllis is still inexperienced. Pretending not to know is the best way to do this, and directly clarifying the problem. Is it possible to bring Arthur back?
Ada wouldn't agree either. Arthur's surname is not "Locke", but "Cape".
If it had been anyone else, there might have been a farce of grudges involving wealthy families involving titles and property.
There is no such problem here in Rock. Ada herself is also very rich. In addition to Rand Bank shares, lighters, and bars, Ada herself owns a farm covering an area of more than 50,000 acres in the Cape. Now the specialty store has opened
In Europe's "Itno", Roque's own shares were given to Phyllis, and the other half of the shares belonged to Ada. In other words, neither Phyllis nor Ada knew about this matter. If they knew, Felicia would probably
Both Silk and Ada will go crazy.
Even Rock himself didn't realize this.
As long as Gavin can grow up safely, then the first inheritance right of Baron Nyasaland will definitely belong to Gavin. Unless Phyllis has no son, otherwise the inheritance rights will not be Arthur's turn no matter what, so Phyllis really has no
It's necessary to be angry. Compared with those big shots who have countless lovers and illegitimate children, Roque is already clean and self-sufficient.
"It's all up to you. Whatever you say will be whatever it is." Roque doesn't want to do anything. Isn't it good to live in peace and harmony.
Phyllis was definitely not good, so Phyllis tried her best to put on a fierce look: "Bring Arthur back, change his surname to Locke, and I will raise him."
Rock couldn't even imagine what he said.
"Don't, Phyllis, or you will regret it." Owen disagreed. Phyllis's method was not very clever.
This kind of operation is not impossible, but it is limited to the premise that the child's biological mother has no power. This situation for Ada is unlikely. If Phyllis wants to take Arthur away, Ada will probably go crazy.
Phyllis was actually talking angrily. She really wanted to take Arthur home. No matter what problems happened to Arthur, Phyllis would be the one embarrassed in the end.
After Phillip saw Roque, he didn't show off to Roque, but it was still obvious that Phillip still had problems with Roque.
In fact, all of Rock's troubles happened before he married Phyllis. You can't blame Rock for being young and frivolous. Who hasn't been young and frivolous? Philip was also at Rock's age. As a man, there is nothing wrong with him.
If you don't do it, you are a saint.
The key is future performance.
After Rock and Phyllis got married, they were quite responsible for their family. At least Rock never had any ambiguities with anyone else.
As for Ada, if Arthur hadn't been there, then Rock might have been able to distance himself from Ada.
Don't think about it now. With Arthur's existence, Rock is destined to be involved with Ada in this life. As long as Rock doesn't spoil his concubine and kill his wife, Philip can pretend not to know.
Philip can still understand the stakes.
"The governor's term will end in August. The new governor may be Earl Selborne. Earl Selborne is too old and may not be able to do everything as well as Governor Ade. By then, the Transvaal will
The democratic representative system will be fully implemented, and you must be prepared. The Liberal Party must win the final victory." Philip did not even mention this to Roque. The upcoming comprehensive election was the focus of Philip's attention.
On August 1, 1900, Alfred Milner was appointed Governor-General of the Transvaal and Orange. It has been five years since then.
On July 31 this year, Alfred Milner's term of office will end. Rock previously hoped that Ade could stay, but now it seems that this is a luxury hope after all. The new governor is Selber, a complete stranger to Rock.
Count Ern, this is not good news for Rock.
In any case, Rock was promoted by Adelaide, so Adelaide was kind to Rock.
According to Chinese tradition, the importance of acquaintance does not need to be emphasized. "Reborn parent" is used to describe this kind of relationship. Although Rock now has a certain foundation and has many partners, Ade will always be Rock.
The biggest backer.
The backing of the mountain falls, relying on everyone to run. The ancients are honest and will not bully me. In the end, Rock has to rely on himself.
Both Rock and Owen nodded. Owen's qualifications are too young. Even if the Liberal Party wins the Transvaal election, Owen may not be qualified to become the Speaker of the Transvaal Parliament. Philip is the most suitable candidate, so this time
During the election, Philip will personally stand up for the Liberal Party.
When the democratic representative system is fully developed, the speaker of the parliament and the prime minister will not be held by the same person. However, this problem does not exist in southern Africa. In Cape Town, where the democratic representative system has been implemented for many years, the prime minister and speaker are now both
Starr Jameson, Ph.D.
"Locke, you are going to London during the next period of time to get a doctorate." Philip has plans for Locke.
"Go to London?" Rock was surprised. Irving had raised this question with Rock before, but Rock did not agree at the time. In Rock's view, a degree was of little use to Rock.
"Yes, go to London, Sandhurst Royal Military Academy, I have contacted General Victor Foster for you, you can enroll directly." Philip hoped that Roark could get a degree, which would be more beneficial to Roark.
influence the future of South Africa.
Although Rock has received more advanced higher education than this era, Rock in this era is still a "country bumpkin" without any degree.
This was obviously very unseemly for a nobleman. Henry, an uneducated fellow, also studied at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
But it is a pity that Rock is not interested in the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Going to school is really a waste of time. After Cecil Rhodes made money, he also studied at Oxford University, which was enough for him.
It took Cecil Rhodes eight years to obtain his diploma from Oxford University.
Rock didn't want to go to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and sit idle for eight years. Eight years later, the First World War was about to break out.
"If you want to play a greater role in the future, then you need to get more recognition. Don't worry, it's just a short-term training. In the military, few people are qualified to teach you anything." Philip obviously has more respect for Roque.
High expectations, forget about Henry. To be able to get to this point, Henry has exceeded Philip's expectations for him.
Philip did not lie. The case of the Cape Town police raid that killed Joubert during the Boer War has been included in the textbooks of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. That battle was commanded by Rock.
