Save the Bachelor of Heaven

After the iceberg crisis was resolved, the passengers returned to the cabin to rest.

Xiang Nan was also preparing to return to the cabin to rest, when Rose suddenly called him, "Jack~"

"What's the matter?" Xiang Nan turned around and asked.

"I've made up my mind. I've decided not to have a wedding with Carl." Rose said firmly.

"Have you thought it through?" Xiang Nan asked, "Once you reject Carl, your family will go bankrupt, become penniless, and even have no money to eat. Have you considered this issue?

Does your mother agree with you to do this? If she refuses, or even threatens to die, what will you do? Can you resist her kidnapping of family affection?"

"I have considered it." Rose nodded, "After rejecting Carl, I will indeed have a hard time. But I am not afraid. I have a pair of hands, I have a degree, I can find a job to support me and my mother.

Even if my mother disagrees, even if she threatens my life, I will not give in. I have figured it out, my life is my own, I have to be responsible for myself. If she can sacrifice my happiness for money, then I don't want such a mother."

"Very good." Xiang Nan nodded, "If you really do this, then I will also lend you a hand. I promise you that if Carl Hawke uses force, I will help you get out of trouble."

"Thank you." Rose thanked him immediately after hearing it.

Carl Hockley has a personal bodyguard named Lovejoy, who was originally a police officer. Not only is he a first-class marksman, but he is also very smart and capable.

If Carl does not agree to cancel the wedding, then in order to complete the wedding, he may choose to use force and let Lovejoy tie him to Philadelphia.

And with Lovejoy's means, he can really do it.

Rose also believes that Carl is very likely not to agree to cancel the wedding.

Because he can't afford to lose that person.

In order to marry her, Carl has paid a lot. Not only has he tried to please her and her mother for several months, but he has also spent a huge amount of money to buy the Heart of the Ocean diamond.

At the same time, Philadelphia has sent out 500 invitations. It can be said that the relatives, friends, and business partners of the Hockley family have all received invitations.

Given that the Hockley family is an American steel tycoon, their relatives, friends, and business partners must be of high quality.

At that time, these distinguished guests have all come, but the bride has run away, which will bring shame to the Hockley family and completely become a clown in the American upper class.

Even if Karl finds another European noble lady to marry, he cannot erase this stain and restore his and his family's image.

Therefore, in order to maintain the family's honor, he must let Rose complete the wedding, even if it is by force.

So Xiang Nan's help is crucial.

...

On April 15, the ship continued to sail towards New York.

In three more days, they can arrive smoothly.

It was also on this day that Rose formally asked her mother Ruth and her fiancé Karl to cancel the wedding.

As expected, her proposal was immediately rejected.

"You must be crazy! Do you want us to go bankrupt? Your father didn't leave us any valuable inheritance, only a noble title. Once Karl stops funding us, we will immediately go bankrupt and become penniless.

Have you ever thought about me? Do you want me to be a laundry worker or a servant for others? Why are you so selfish? Why don't you think about me?" Ruth questioned her daughter angrily.

"Mother, I promise you, I will work hard to make money to support you." Rose advised, "I have knowledge, I have strength, I can find a job, I can support you."

"I don't want to live that kind of inferior life, I want an aristocratic life, do you understand, Rose?" Rose flatly refused.

She didn't want to live in a low and cramped room, eat black bread every day, and drink soybean soup. She wanted foie gras, caviar, and black truffles.

She wanted a maid to serve her, she wanted the latest, most fashionable, and most gorgeous dresses, and she wanted to attend parties and dances held by the upper class.

She couldn't stand the life of an inferior, not even for a minute.

"Mother, you want to sacrifice your daughter's lifelong happiness just to let yourself live an aristocratic life?" Rose said very disappointedly.

"I raised you, I am your mother, can't you make sacrifices for me?" Rose asked angrily.

Rose didn't say anything else, she was already disappointed with her mother.

…

"Cancel the wedding?! Are you kidding? Do you know how much I paid for this wedding? The Heart of the Ocean diamond, a full set of dowry, and the invitations alone were printed three times...

Now there are 500 guests who have rushed to Philadelphia and are waiting at my house. You are telling me to cancel the wedding now? You are really crazy!" Carl also shouted at Rose.

He made a lot of efforts to marry Rose. In the early stage, he pretended to be a gentleman and a bootlicker. He spent a lot of money on Ruth and Rose's mother and daughter. He even bought the Titanic ticket.

His goal was to marry Rose and bring aristocratic blood to his family through this marriage, so as to enhance the family's status in the American business and upper class.

And he did not choose Rose casually.

On the one hand, Rose's appearance is very outstanding. When she first appeared in the third class cabin, everyone was stunned; on the one hand, Rose has received higher education, unlike other noble ladies who are empty-headed; on the other hand, Rose's family is on the verge of bankruptcy, and her mother is very greedy for money, which gives him enough leverage.

Therefore, he finally chose Rose as his bride and made great efforts for it. But now Rose wants to cancel the wedding, just playing him like a fool.

"I can return the Ocean Heart Diamond to you, and you can give it to your next fiancee." Rose thought for a moment and said, "The same goes for the dowry. I'm really sorry about the invitations. I didn't mean to play a trick on you.

How about this, I'll give you all my treasured paintings, which will surely appreciate in value in the future. Or, I'll find a job and make money to return it to you later."

"I don't want the rubbish you bought. Find a job and make money to return it to me?! Are you kidding?" Carl scolded angrily, "Your actions have brought shame to our family. Can money make up for it? Even if you work for a lifetime, you can't make up for it!!"

...

Afterwards, Carl discussed with Rose and decided to imprison Rose in the room, not letting her eat, so that she could taste the taste of hunger.

The Titanic will take another three days to dock. Not eating for three days will not kill people, but the taste of hunger must be very difficult to endure.

At that time, I'm not afraid that Rose will not give in. After all, she is a noble daughter and has never tasted the taste of hunger.
