[Titanic] I can't help myself

It was embarrassing to see one's own sister naked, even in portraits.I coughed, quickly crumpled the painting into a ball of paper, and threw it into the fire.The portrait was quickly reduced to a cloud of ashes.

"Jack Dawson." The mother looked as if she saw a fly on her plate, "I won't let him go."

"Mom." I sighed, "You can't blame him all..."

"I've already had someone call the police." My mother interrupted me, "Miss Rose, out of kindness, gave a third-rate painter a job, and generously allowed him to step into her room, for herself and the maid. Draw a few portraits as a commemoration of riding the Titanic, an unprecedented luxury ship. However, after the portraits were painted, the jewelry in the room disappeared. So the inferior people are the inferior people." Mother sneered, "You actually made This kind of thing is really ungrateful, isn't it?"

Mother has even considered this issue, and it seems that her determination to deal with Jack is very firm.

Rose brought a strange man who was not related to her and who didn't look like a first-class passenger into her room. I'm afraid no one would have seen it. If it spread, it would be nothing. If it happened, it would also damage her reputation. Taking this into consideration, the mother arranged witnesses and physical evidence to protect her reputation.And the person who framed Jack for stealing the jewelry may already be on his way.

"Have you sent for them yet?" I asked.

"I looked for it, but I couldn't find it. God knows where they went!" The mother drank the wine in the glass with a sneer, put it down heavily, and lit another thin lady's cigarette. Don't want to get into a big fight, but it seems I'm being too kind. For some people, kindness will only make them bigger."

The police arrived soon and searched for clues left by the so-called thieves in Rose's room.I sat on the sofa with my mother and listened to her lamenting to the tall police officer how the kindness of the rich was exploited and betrayed by the ungrateful lower classes.

The police checked for a long time, but found nothing - of course it was impossible.But soon, the servant guarding my door came in and said, "Master, madam, Miss Rose is back."

Rose and Jack walked in slowly, arm in arm. Both of them looked nervous and scared, and Rose even trembled a little.But their expressions were very determined.

"Mom, Henry." She was a little surprised to see so many people in her room, "Did something happen? Oh, yes, I have something to tell you, just now we..."

"I also have something to tell you, my daughter, a very unfortunate thing." The mother interrupted her, and Shi Shiran stood up, "When your maid was arranging your dressing table, she found that there was something missing. A few gemstone necklaces, and some brooches, earrings and other accessories."

"Mom, it's not important..."

The mother immediately raised her voice and stopped her from continuing: "After searching every corner of the house and finding nothing, the poor maid can only report this matter to me. We can only call the police. Speaking of which, This is really unbelievable, isn't it? After all, Titanic's security work is still very good. It's impressive, such things as burglary, it is impossible to happen." As she spoke, she showed a faint smile to the sheriff.

"So, what are you trying to tell me?" Rose looked confused.

"I think this must sound very sad." The mother made a regretful expression on purpose, "You always think that people who devote themselves to art are kind and honest people, but the reality always breaks people hard. My child, there will be a burglary in your room because you have lured a wolf into it."

"What?" Rose frowned.

The mother raised her chin towards Jack: "I think it should be this person, Mr. Sheriff."

A policeman who was standing right behind Jack immediately grabbed Jack's arms and twisted back to restrain him.

"Mom!" Rose exclaimed, "What are you doing!"

"Show you what the real world is, my poor child." The mother sneered, "Search for me!"

In less than a second, the police found several gemstone necklaces from Jack's pocket, and then grabbed a handful of odds and ends of earrings and brooches.

"Is this the jewelry you lost, ma'am?"

The mother walked over and carefully identified them: "Yes, these are the things. Thank you." Then she signaled the servant standing aside to come forward and put away the jewels.

"This is ridiculous!" screamed Rose. "It's framed! It's framed! I know what you're up to! You're trying to kill Jack like you framed Catherine Bukett's lover! There's no way he's going to steal these things !We've been together! He's innocent! He's innocent!"

"Always, dear?" Mother gave a pitiful smile, "but who else in the room can look at Mr. Thief while Anna helps you to change? Ah, in fact, you are also proving that I am not Frame him, if after this, you have been together, then please tell me, how did I put these jewels on him?"

Rose's expression became somewhat anxious, but within a few seconds, she became firm again.

"Anyway, I don't believe your excuses for framing him," she said aloud, "I don't know how you did it, but it's just because I'm not as bad as you, and I don't know how to frame a man .I firmly believe in his innocence. And I also understand, Mom, that this is all a plot by you to separate Jack and me! But I will tell you, if you mean to hurt Jack, I will hurt myself , if he dies, I will also..."

"Stop it, Rose!" I stood up and interrupted her. She threatened her mother with her own safety, which not only failed to save Jack, but also added fuel to the fire, deepening mother's determination to punish Jack. , "Gentlemen, please take this man out."

It would be good for everyone to take Jack away now.At this moment, it is impossible for Jack to prove his innocence, and he will be taken down and locked up anyway.Let the police take him away. My mother has achieved her goal of separating the two, and at the same time vented her anger. She will not continue to persecute him. When we get off the boat, I can give the police. Say hello, release Jack, and we'll go straight back to England, with no more chance of Mother getting her hands on him.

But Rose obviously couldn't think of this.

"Henry!" she screamed, "Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't hurt Jack! Why would you join your mother in persecuting an innocent man! Just because I love him?! No matter what hurts him, I'll be with him." He bears it together! Even death!"

"Take the lady into the house. She has visited the entire cruise ship thoroughly today and is already very tired." I said to the maid in the room.

"Sir!" The policeman who was twisting Jack's arm suddenly shouted, "His clothes were stolen too.!" He quickly peeled off Jack's coat, revealing the nameplate inside. Come and show it to the sheriff, "This belongs to a Mr. AL Layerson, and the owner has already reported the crime."

"Oh, he's still a habitual offender." Mother covered her mouth exaggeratedly, "But it's not surprising. After all, if you dare to do something with such a valuable thing, it must be an experienced and habitual offender who would act so boldly and morally corrupt."

Rose's expression was shocked and confused. She glanced at the coat, then at Jack, at a loss.

"Rose, my boy, he puts on the coat himself. I don't know Mr. AL Ryerson, and I can't force him to put it on to frame him."

It was originally just a frame-up, but it turned out that the theft was real.Things suddenly developed like this, and I feel like I'm almost overwhelmed.To be honest, Jack really doesn't look like a person who can steal things, but the evidence is solid, I am not very familiar with him, and I really dare not guarantee his character.

"I just borrowed it to wear it, and I will return it soon!" Jack explained urgently, "This is not stealing!"

"Ah, what an honest thief." The mother mocked softly, "It's just borrowed and used. When it's used up, or if you have money, you'll return it right away. Mr. Sheriff, I heard that those who stole This is how property owners always defend themselves when they are caught, don’t they?”

"Yes, ma'am." The sheriff nodded, "Then, the evidence is solid, and I'll take him down."

"Rose! Don't trust them! Rose!" Jack desperately explained, "Trust me! I didn't steal anything! Trust me! Rose! Trust me! Please! Trust me! Rose! Rose!"

Two police officers violently twisted his arms and dragged him out of the room.While struggling, Jack kept calling Rose's name until he couldn't hear him anymore.

Rose's expression was full of disbelief, mixed with the sadness and bewilderment of being deceived.She looked at the ground in a daze, her mouth slightly opened.

"The matter is settled, and the stolen goods have been recovered." The police chief let out a sigh of relief, "Then, I will leave first, and I wish everyone a good night."

The people in the room immediately retreated completely, even the servants hid out knowingly.Only the three of us, mother and son, were left.

Mother kept silent until she finished smoking the cigarette in her hand, then stood up, and slapped Rose hard across the face.

"I really didn't expect that I would teach a shameless slut!" She said through gritted teeth.

"Mom, this matter is not that serious." I made a relief with a dry smile.

"Have you had sex?" Mother asked Rose coldly, ignoring me.

Rose slowly straightened her face, covered her cheeks with her hands, and after being dull for a long time, she asked in a low voice, "What?"

"Have you had sex?" repeated the mother. "Don't understand? Let me put it another way: are you still pure? Are you still a virgin?"

"Mom!" I yelled.

"Shut up!" My mother glared at me, then glared at her again, "Answer my words! Are you still a virgin?"

Rose's eyes quickly filled with tears, and her expression became humiliated and aggrieved.

"Yes, I'm still." She nodded, holding back her tears and said, "I'm still a virgin."

The mother sneered: "It's unexpected, I thought you would be so impatient to become that little bastard's prostitute. You should thank God, if you lose your chastity, I will definitely kill you, lest you give us discredit your family! You are already engaged, so is it that difficult to follow the rules?"

"I don't have to marry Cal Hockley!" Rose finally cried. "I don't have to marry him, so whoever I am with is my freedom! What does it have to do with him?"

"What? What nonsense are you talking about?" The mother immediately reprimanded, "Do you think you can decide this by yourself?"

"It's my decision, Mom." I said hastily, "I've decided to call off the engagement between Rose and Mr. Hockley. And I've also booked a boat ticket, got off the Titanic, and we're going back to England right away, we're not going Attending the engagement ceremony."

My mother stared at me with her eyes wide open, unable to speak for a long time.

"What's all this mess? Why do you want to break off the engagement? Why don't you discuss it with me?"

I took a deep breath, pressed my forehead, and said: "Mom, this matter is very, very complicated, and I can't explain it clearly now. I... tomorrow, I will find time to explain it to you tomorrow, okay? But In any case, I will never change my mind again. Rose can't, can't marry him."

Mother gasped. She looked literally pissed off.Her two children are all disobedient to her tonight, doing things behind her back that make her unbelievable.Her chest continued to heave violently, but it seemed that taking a deep breath couldn't subdue her anger a little.

"you……"

There was a sudden knock on the door, and without waiting for our response, someone outside opened the door and walked in quickly.

"I didn't allow you to come in! Get out!" Mother snapped.

The waiter who entered the room ignored the mother's bad words, walked quickly into the room, and said politely: "Please put on the life jacket and go to the deck of the lifeboat."

"I said, get out!" My mother said with her eyes wide open.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, this is the captain's order." The waiter said quickly, and strode inside, "Now, please dress warmly, it's very cold outside tonight." He took out a stack of life jackets , placed on the table in the living room, "I suggest you wear a coat and a hat."

life jacket?lifeboat?I almost suspect that I have heard wrong.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Please don't worry too much, Earl Richardmond." The waiter had a standard smile, "This is just in case."

"Just in case?" I asked.

The waiter hesitated for a moment: "I don't know, my lord, I'm just conveying the captain's order. I'm sorry, I have to inform the next guest. Please go to the deck of the lifeboat as soon as possible."

I watched him leave quickly, and felt that all this seemed to symbolize that something terrible was about to happen.

"It's really inexplicable." The mother snorted coldly, and then said to Rose, "Don't think it's over, I'll settle the score with you later!" After finishing speaking, she turned and went back to her room to get dressed.

I had Rose's maid come in and change her into something warmer, and the silk gown on her wasn't helping her at all.After that, I also went back to the room, put on a thick coat, and prepared some important documents and seals to bring with me.

Although I don't want to admit it, I think the ship is going to sink, otherwise the captain wouldn't have disturbed the first-class guests in the middle of the night. You must know that these people are the most troublesome, and even a little inconvenience will make them reluctant for a long time.

This time, mother and Rose changed clothes faster. We walked to the deck of the lifeboat as instructed by the waiter, and met Karl again on the way.

"Henry." He followed me closely, but kept a certain distance, "Do you know what happened?"

"Stay away from me, Mr. Hockley." I said coldly, and then I took my mother and Rose all the way to the grand staircase.
