Just as Margot and Josie had expected in advance.

The purchase of three million war bonds was the top spot tonight.

And Josie, from a little transparency at the beginning, became the focus of this reception, and there were an endless stream of guests who came to chat, even John Leibler, who didn't take Josie very seriously before, The mayor, senators, etc., all came over.

The guests who knew about Josie and Margot's relationship were also impressed.

Originally, those people thought that Josie was just a little white face raised by Margot, but they didn't expect that it turned out to be a big fat sheep---except Margot and Josie, and the person in charge of the bank who was responsible for collecting checks. , no one knew that the money was actually paid by Margot.

As long as they don't say it, almost no one will believe that the money is from Margot.

After all, it was not 30,000, 300,000, but 3 million.

The entire net worth of most of the guests present may not be that much.

So no one would believe that Margot would pay such a big price for a mere white face.

Even Johan Leibler, who knew Margot well, didn't quite believe it.

Margot, there's no need for you to do this! Josie finally managed to deal with the waves of guests, and then moved to Margot's side and said helplessly.

But this is the best outcome, isn't it? I don't start a company, and it's useless to have this title, but you're different. After today, people in Chicago, and even in many parts of the United States, will know you It will be of great benefit for you to start a business factory in the future, and even if you want to enter politics in the future, it will be an excellent capital. Margot smiled softly.

Looking at Margot who was so considerate, Josie couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.

But at this moment, there was some commotion at the reception.

Then Josie and Margot saw that John Lebiler hurriedly left the reception with a ticket.

For a while, the scene of the reception was full of whispering voices.

Although the protagonist of this reception is the mayor, senators, and military representatives, a labor union that sells war bonds, but John Lebiler is the host after all, and there is no reason to leave early.

Hello, what happened? Margot stopped a waiter and asked.

Sorry, ma'am, I don't know either! The waiter shook his head.

Everyone, Mr. Lebil just had some personal affairs to deal with, so he left early. Don't worry too much. Today's reception can be said to be very successful. I am also very grateful to Mr. Josh Kahn and everyone for their support. Support, let's raise a glass together... Seeing that the atmosphere at the venue was a little off, people from the labor organization immediately stood up to liven up the atmosphere.

It was also at this time that Josie discovered that the lawyer named Amory, who was with John Lebiler before, secretly left from the edge of the venue with a nervous face.

But it had nothing to do with Josie, and he didn't know what was going on.

After staying at the reception for about half an hour, some guests have begun to slowly leave the venue. Josie and Margot are almost ready to leave the venue.

As a result, just after going out, a figure bumped towards Margot, but Josie reacted quickly and blocked in front of Margot.

The other party was very small, and after hitting him like this, he fell directly to the ground, but Josie had nothing to do.

But soon got up again and apologized to Josie again and again.

I'm sorry, sir, I'm so sorry!

At this time, Josie and Margot discovered that the other party was wearing a maid's uniform, and it should be a servant of the Lebille family. Josh seems to be.

It doesn't matter, it's you, did you get hurt just now? The kind-hearted Margot immediately apologized and asked with concern.

Hearing Margot's kind voice, the maid raised her head and looked at the two of them.

Hepburn? As soon as the maid looked up, Josh couldn't help but call out a name.

That's right, the other party is impressively like Audrey Hepburn, the famous Hollywood actress in Xia Kingdom in the future.

Just hearing Josie's call, the other party was stunned for a moment, and then hesitantly asked, Sir, are you calling me? But I'm not Hepburn, I'm Sabrina, are you mistaken? already?

Now it's Josie's turn to be embarrassed, admit the wrong person?

Wait, Josie suddenly reacted at this time, Margot is also a character in the movie, so Audrey Hepburn is probably also a character in a certain movie?

It's just different from Hitchcock's classic film The Telephone Murder. Although Josie knows Audrey Hepburn, she seems to have lost her work except for the famous Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany's. .

And the little girl named Sabrina in front of her obviously does not match the images in the two movies.

Just when Josh was in a daze, suddenly there was a sharp pain in his waist.

Then suddenly woke up.

Turning to look at Margot who looked up at the sky, Josie was speechless, do all women do this trick?

Sorry, I got the wrong person. Josie and Sabrina said apologetically.

It doesn't matter, sir, madam, it's my fault, I bumped into the two. Sabrina waved her hands again and again when she saw this, and then said cautiously, Sir, madam, I have something urgent, can I leave first?

Of course. Josie gestured sideways.

Thank you, sir, thank you ma'am. Sabrina thanked her again and again, and hurriedly walked into the hall.

Who is Hepburn? Margot asked Josh as soon as Sabrina left.

What? Jealous? Josie, who saw this, asked back with a smile.

Hmph, I'm so jealous, you're not mine! Margot said angrily.

Man, dear a few minutes ago, no one now, so fast.

Don't be angry, I'll be honest, that was a little Dutch girl our family met when the war started, and she was about the same age as me, but I haven't seen her since the war started. This girl just now, It's really similar to her. Josie said half-truth.

Hepburn in the original time and space is indeed still hungry in the Netherlands, and Josie is not afraid of people to authenticate.

Moreover, since this world is a parallel time and space similar to movies, it is unknown whether there is Audrey Hepburn.

Sorry, my dear, I brought back bad memories of you. She heard Josie explain that Audrey Hepburn, whom she met while fleeing, was full of jealousy, and instantly became jealous. Josh's pity.

Because Josie was only ten years old at that time, for a child that old, the life of escaping must be quite difficult.

As for Audrey Hepburn, she was completely forgotten by her.

The war in Europe is so chaotic, it is unknown whether this little Dutch girl of Audrey Hepburn is still alive.

In this way, the episode brought by Sabrina quickly passed.

Josie and Margot continued to chat and prepare to go home.

However, on the way home, the police cars speeding past from time to time and the checkpoints at various intersections made Josie and Margot feel that something was wrong.

Mr. Police Officer, what happened? Josie couldn't help asking a policeman while passing a checkpoint. Seeing the policeman hesitated, Josie also handed a $20 tip.

Facing the temptation of money, and looking at Josie and Margot's high-end clothes and luxury cars, they would not be ordinary people, and the police then whispered the reason.

Lebiler Jewelry Company knows? Their vault was stolen, and I heard the loss is at least several million! The policeman approached Josie and whispered.

Hearing what the police said, Josie and Margot looked at each other subconsciously.

No wonder John Leibler left early, because such a big thing happened.

I just don't know why, when Josie heard the news, the image of Amory leaving the venue with a nervous expression immediately appeared in Josie's mind.
