Comprehensive experience of time and space
Chapter 108 Titanic (3)
Ruth was forcibly taken back to the room by Rouf. Originally, Ruth lived with Karl, but since the last time Ruth and Karl had a fight and ran to Rouf's room, Yunlan transformed into Karl, and there was no trace of her. Come and find her, so she is now living with her mother.
Rouf closed the door forcefully, and Jack had already been sent away by her harsh words. Her hands were shaking slightly, and she was so angry that her daughter had difficulty breathing. Ruth was a little flustered when she saw her mother like this. In her memory, her mother had always been an elegant aristocratic lady. How could she be so out of control today.
After a while, Rouf calmed down. She sat weakly on the sofa and said with a choked voice: "Ruth, do you know what our life will be like if we lose Karl? We have to pay for that huge debt. How to pay it back? Our house, jewelry, clothes, and the paintings you like will be auctioned to pay off the debt, and we will live on the streets! Do you want me to work as a dishwasher at my age? "
Ruth shook her head and whispered: "I don't think so, I don't. I just can't stand such a depressing life..."
"Repressed? Where is the repression? If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have sent you to college to receive some new education! I think it has damaged your brain. You have enjoyed the glory of Cabot since you were a child. Shouldn't you be doing it for Cabot? Do you want to fulfill some responsibilities and obligations? Ruth, how can you be so selfish?" Rufu looked at her disappointedly, unable to understand her resistance to the nobility. Isn't she a member of the nobility? Didn't she enjoy the life of a noble? "Ruth, pack up immediately and go apologize to Karl. You must not let him cancel the engagement!"
Rufu's tone became tough again. Ruth was a little confused and unwilling, but at the same time she was very conflicted. After being pushed by her mother to wash herself, she still came to Karl's room. Knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time, thinking that Karl hadn't come back yet. She took out her key card and entered the room by herself. In her heart, she didn't believe that Karl would cancel the engagement. It was just an angry talk. After all, Karl had always seemed determined to win her.
Looking around the room, Ruth suddenly found that the surrounding furnishings had changed. They were no longer the cold and hard style before, but had a warmth and softness to them. She was stunned for a moment, then sat in front of the dressing table and flipped through the jewelry at random. , remembering that all the money I had brought with me was soaked by the sea water, I wanted to take some cash out of the safe. At first-class banquets, it is often necessary to tip the waiter.
She used to take cash and jewelry from the safe at will, but today she couldn't open it. After trying for a while, she suddenly realized that it was not that she had remembered the wrong password, but that Karl had changed the password of the safe. . Ruth raised her head and looked at the bedroom again, and found that her collection of paintings were bundled into a pile in the corner, and her clothes were also packed in two suitcases.
"Leger, it's very late. You should go and rest. You don't have to stay here." The sound of opening the door and Karl's voice came at the same time. Ruth suddenly became nervous. She stood up and walked to the living room. Karl and Leger were stunned for a moment when they saw her, and then Karl sat on the sofa and drank coffee by himself.
Leger took a step forward and said in a distant and polite manner: "Good evening, Miss Cabot, how can I help?"
Ruth looked at Karl at a loss, opened her mouth, but said nothing. They had often quarreled before, but every time it was Karl who lowered his head first to show his kindness, and she didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of her. She originally paid no attention to her mother's worries, but this confidence was completely wiped out because of what she just discovered.
"Miss Cabot, it's very late now. If you have nothing to do, please leave. The young master needs to rest." Leger has always been dissatisfied with Ruth. In his opinion, she is the only one his young master is willing to marry. She was extremely lucky, but she broke the young master's heart time and time again, disgraced the Hockley family, and even had an affair with another man in public, which was simply unforgivable.
When Ruth saw that Karl didn't even look at her and allowed the housekeeper to drive her away, Ruth felt a little embarrassed and angry, and her temper also rose. She raised her head, glanced sideways at Karl, and said stiffly: "I just came back to find a piece of headgear. Now Just about to leave." After that, he walked towards the door.
"Miss Cabot, please allow me to remind you that this is Master Carl's room, and you have nothing to do with Master Carl anymore. Please do not enter privately again in the future, and please return the room card to me."
Ruth had never found Leger's voice so offensive! And Karl's indifference is equally annoying! She frowned and turned around sharply to stare at Karl, "Are you going to let your housekeeper continue to be rude?"
Karl actually knew that Ruth was inside when he approached the door, but he felt that he had nothing to say to Ruth, so he left it to Leger to handle it. Now he frowned when he saw that Ruth looked confused about the situation. He raised his eyebrows and said: "Miss Cabot, you entered my room late at night without my permission. I don't think my housekeeper was rude in any way. Oh, you should remember that an hour ago What happened on the deck, the engagement was cancelled, or in other words, our relationship ended. From now on, you can freely pursue the life you want. At the same time, please don't come to me again. I have no intention of continuing to be friends with you. mean."
After Karl finished speaking, he got up and walked to the bedroom. He had been dealing with a few old foxes for a long time at the banquet just now. He was already a little tired and had no time to discuss her mood with this woman here.
Ruth was filled with embarrassment and anger at what he said on the phone. Seeing that Leger was still reaching for the key card, she angrily took out the key card, threw it on the ground, and ran away.
"Pack up all Miss Cabot's things and send them to Mrs. Cabot. Remember, send them all." Carl said as he glanced at the messed up dresser. If you want to break it off, just break it off cleanly, Rufu will find some excuse to let Ruth come to him.
Leger called several waiters to pack up Ruth's clothes, jewelry, portraits, etc., and brought them to the door of Rouf's room. Rouf opened the door and was extremely surprised to see these. Ruth just ran back to the room angrily, She was asking Ruth what happened, but Leger cleaned out all Ruth's things. Is Karl so determined this time?
"Mrs. Cabot, these are the things that Miss Cabot owns. I have checked them and there is nothing missing. I also ask Miss Cabot not to go to Master Carl's room again. This is very impolite behavior." Leger had disliked their mother and daughter for a long time. Although he kept his duty as a housekeeper in mind, he would not be polite if he had the opportunity to ridicule them.
At this time, the celebrities and nobles who had attended the dinner were all walking to their rooms. Many people saw this scene. Ruth heard the sound and came to the door. She felt that everyone looked at her with contempt and ridicule, and her face It turned red all of a sudden. Ruth hurriedly moved the luggage at the door to the room, pulled her mother back, and closed the door forcefully.
Regardless of the heated argument between Ruth and her mother that night, Carl, after taking a break to meditate, began to operate the telegraph machine to communicate with his assistant in the United States. At today's banquet, he negotiated a project with an oil tycoon that required a large amount of funds, which was just an excuse to sell his shares in White Star Shipping.
Although White Star Shipping's stock has been rising to the limit, the price is now very high, and no one is sure how much room for growth there is. However, this oil project will definitely achieve ultra-high returns. His assistant William did not doubt it. I was very happy to help him transfer all the shares of White Star Shipping.
Then Carl expressed his concerns about the Titanic to William. Ship dealer Esme and Captain Smith kept giving orders to speed up, but the number of lifeboats was completely substandard. This situation was very disturbing, so he planned to Spend huge sums of money to invite nearby ships to come over and escort the Titanic.
Although William felt that it was a bit fussy and tried to persuade him a little, the person who paid the money was the boss. As an excellent assistant, he naturally had to put the boss's wishes first. William contacted more than a dozen ships. Although most of them said they could not change course, there were still some who were willing to join in the fun for the sake of money. Besides, when the Titanic docked, the ships they were escorting would also It will make you famous, so why not?
William sent Karl the contact information of these ships, the Frankfurt, Virginia, Temples, Burma... With the responses from these large ships, Karl finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how powerful he was, he could not It can't be made like a fantasy, it's too weird. Although there are still two days before the iceberg hits, these ships may not be able to arrive in advance, but when the Titanic sinks, they will definitely be not far away. Can be rescued in time.
Ruth and Ruf quarreled all night, and finally couldn't stand their mother's crying and pleading, so they decided to let go and show their kindness to Karl. She dressed up and was looking for Karl when she was suddenly pulled into an empty room. When she took a closer look, it turned out to be Jack.
Ruth looked at the suit he was wearing and asked doubtfully: "Why are you dressed like this? Your clothes..."
"Don't worry about my clothes, Ruth. I came here specifically for you. Didn't we make an appointment to meet at the boat ramp yesterday? Why didn't you come? Did something happen? Did your mother hit you again yesterday? ?" Jack asked anxiously.
Ruth looked at his worried eyes and was very moved. How long had it been since someone had cared about her so simply? Her mother only knew to let her catch Karl, and Karl would only decide her life according to his own ideas. It had been too long since she had felt this kind of warmth. But then she remembered her mother's pleading face. She lowered her eyes and shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I'm sorry Jack. I still have some things to do. I can't chat with you anymore. Goodbye."
Jack looked at Ruth who left quickly with some shock, and didn't understand why her attitude was completely different from yesterday.
The author has something to say: Titanic is too classic, and the scene of the sinking of the ship is too heavy, so the passengers will not die in the article. Although it is very unrealistic, the protagonist has Goldfinger anyway, so let’s treat it as It’s a beautiful wish, fellow human beings, to change the tragic fate of those who were killed.
In addition, I despised Ruth. She originally wanted to follow Jack as soon as she landed ashore, regardless of Carl or her mother... Why didn't she want to think about what would happen to her mother carrying a huge debt alone? And if the Hockley family can't find her, will they let her mother go? Speechless!
