With Abigail as a comparison, the people who attended the banquet today saw William's actions and understood that no girl here could catch his eye.
Seeing that the nobles' little tricks did not work, Prime Minister Richard, who was shocked and extremely annoyed, was greatly relieved.
For them, no one wanted to see the possibility of the nobles rising again.
At this moment, they looked at William with some scrutiny.
If William hadn't deliberately walked out of the spaceship in a Duke's suit today, Richard and the others would have almost forgotten that William was a noble.
With a sense of crisis in their hearts, Richard, who originally disliked Abigail, and several other cabinet members felt at this moment.
It was better to let an American woman be the future Duchess of Devonshire than a woman in the noble circle.
So for a moment, Abby, who was following behind William and ignored by everyone, was quickly frightened by Richard and several other cabinet members who deliberately found a topic to talk about.
Philip, who had been by William's side, could easily sense the changes in Richard and the others. He sighed silently.
Richard and the others didn't know William that well, but Philip already understood William's thoughts very well.
Making money together can be discussed, but if you want William to do other things, you should forget about it.
Feeling Abigail's nervousness, and at the same time, William, who was a little unhappy with Philip's arrangement, turned back, grabbed Abby's hand, and patted it a few times.
"Don't be nervous, my dear, you will definitely have a lot of opportunities to contact Prime Minister Richard and the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the future."
What does this mean?
Everyone couldn't help but look at William. Even those who were waiting to shake hands with William couldn't help but look over.
Seeing everyone looking over in confusion, William explained with a smile, "I plan to let you be responsible for the tax declaration and payment of the gold shipped back from Mars, so you are the God of Wealth of our Chancellor of the Exchequer.
If you feel that these gentlemen in front of you are bullying you, then tell Serena and Nissa to stop flying to Mars.
Facing the loss of at least one billion US dollars in tax revenue every month, I think even Prime Minister Richard will take the initiative to make way for you when he sees you in the future, right, Richard? "
"Haha, haha, if that's the case, let alone Richard, even if all of us come together, we'll have to make way for Miss Abigail."
It was just giving way to a beautiful woman, not to William. For the Englishmen who flaunted themselves as gentlemen, this was not an insult.
Therefore, when they heard the Finance Minister's words, the other members of the cabinet immediately echoed, "That's right, that's right. One billion US dollars a month, that's 12 billion a year, nearly ten billion pounds.
God, every time Miss Abigail came to pay taxes, we would welcome her and let Richard open the car door for her, not to mention making way for her.
Isn't that right, Richard?
Richard laughed and nodded. "Isn't it our duty to open the car door for a lady?"
After that, Richard said to Abigail, who was half hiding behind William, "My office will always welcome you, Miss Abigail. If you have any questions, you can come to me directly."
At this moment, the guests around them reacted. They all looked at Abigail, whose face was flushed with shock, envy, and jealousy. They were also shocked by William's words.
With this power, no matter who came to power in England in the future, probably no one would dare to look down on her.
When Abigail thought of this, she was more concerned about what William said. She would have the power to give orders to Nissa and Serena regarding the spacecraft and the transportation of gold.
This meant that not only did her position as the chief housekeeper not change, but it was also strengthened a lot in a disguised way.
Thinking of this, Abigail looked at William with a gentler gaze, showing off her affection to the people around her.
With this episode, if Philip could not see that William was expressing his dissatisfaction with him, he would have been a king for decades in vain.
Although the banquet that followed was lively, many people could see that although the faces of the great nobles were full of smiles, their hearts seemed to have been emptied.
After the banquet, when William and Richard went to the press conference together, Prince Charles quietly walked behind Philip and said softly, "Are you okay, Father?"
"No, I'm not okay."
Philip sighed and said, "I didn't expect that more than a year ago, I deliberately warned you that if William had the idea of participating in the ruling, it would be the time when our family would be willing to leave him.
I didn't expect that in the end, he didn't change at all. Instead, we became unrealistic and had ideas that we shouldn't have. "
"Father, we shouldn't have …"
"That's enough, Charles." Philip raised his hand and misunderstood Charles' words. He said helplessly, "Unless I give the throne to the Devonshire family, to William Devonshire.
Otherwise, it's impossible for him to fight against the capitalists outside for the aristocratic system that is about to end. "
Charles thought for a long time before saying, "Then how will we deal with our relationship with William from now on?"
"How will we deal with him?" Philip turned around and patted Charles' shoulder with a smile. "Don't worry, we're just testing him this time. William won't deliberately alienate us because of this.
Besides, didn't he bring Wilson with him to the press conference? "
"Hmm?" Charles was stunned. Five or six seconds later, he let out a deep breath and said with a smile, "I thought that bastard William brought Wilson with him to get a hostage."
"You." Philip was so angry that he almost threw the wine glass in his hand. "William brought Wilson with him just to play a little trick. Don't you understand?"
Charles could only stay silent for a moment.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go outside and see if there's anything you need to deal with. Let me rest alone for a while."
Seeing that Philip no longer liked him because of what he said just now, Charles shrugged helplessly and nodded. "Okay, Father."
Once Charles left, Philip sat down on the sofa. He knew very well that he had misunderstood Charles' intentions. What he said just now was a disguised reminder to him that when it came to re-entering the whirlpool of power, Charles did not support his son.
As the son, Charles had no intention of supporting his father. He even used the word 'hostage' to clearly remind Philip that if they really had such thoughts, they would have to take action.
Then, all kinds of accidents might be waiting for them.
Thinking of all kinds of bloodshed in the dark, Philip could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
His mind began to clear as he sat on the sofa and lowered his head to think. Suddenly, he wondered if he was under some kind of spell and was bewitched.
Otherwise, why would a thought that he had never had before emerge uncontrollably recently?
He stood up, walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.
"Take Charles Cavendish under control."
