The New Life of Ruth Hockley in Titanic

Carl looked at the fluffy words that Ruth said just now, and he really felt that maybe Ruth, who slowly regained his confidence in his affirmation, was the most beautiful.In the university class, didn't he just casually glance at Ruth's classroom when he passed by Ruth's classroom, and found this little girl who surprised him.

"What are you in a daze for? Carl, eat." Weiya watched as Carl handed over the frozen bread and the foie gras, well, forget it and eat.She wanted to try something different from the one she had eaten before.

Karl looked at Via eating foie gras with a slight frown, he knew she didn't like it, but among the people attending the ball, it was not so calm, Meili overheard the chairman of White Star Company Jean Smith The captain increased the speed of the Titanic to 23 knots on the second day, but the designer Andrew and Captain Smith were very worried that something would happen.After all, this is Captain Smith's last voyage, and he wants to start well and end well without encountering any dangerous things.

Mei Li insisted on dragging Astor back to their room. Astor had never seen Mei Li so anxious before, but it made him feel very surprised. Mei Li had been learning by his side for decades at least. Was there really something going on that she felt could not be resolved?

"Baby Meili, what's the matter? Are you so restless?" Astor still coaxed Meili in a slightly joking tone. Sometimes, the husband and wife would still make some small jokes.

"Seriously, John, just now I heard that the chairman of the White Star Company asked Captain Smith to speed up the ship, and Andrew was worried that an iceberg would hit. The captain said that at this time, there will be a big iceberg on the Atlantic Ocean. Andrew also mentioned that there are not enough lifeboats on board." Mei Li felt that what she heard this time might really happen, after all, Andrew's serious tone was not as simple as usual.

"Merry, has anyone heard about this?" After hearing what Meili said, Astor also became serious. He still knew about Andrew, if he hadn't encountered a particularly important event , he would still joke very easily, but what Mei Li said, he didn't want to be joking, could something really happen.

"No, it was in the bathroom aisle of the ballroom. The three of them were talking about it. I was so scared that I didn't come out. I didn't come out until after they left." Mei Li felt that this matter was very important. Ah, Astor also bought a lot of shares in the White Star Company. Didn't he think that this trip to the Titanic might bring huge profits to the White Star Company?

"No wonder, let's go, let's go to Karl's place quietly." Astor thought of Karl's hint last time, and it seemed that Karl knew about it. I took courses in shipbuilding for a period of time in college.He might be able to provide more information for their reference. Astor thought of Carl's ability, and felt that it might be a better thing to lead Carl to participate in the hotel industry in the United States.

"It's so late, isn't it?" Meili knew that Carl's change now made Ruth happy, so it's better not to mess with the two light bulbs.

"This matter can't be delayed. Now the first-class people are in the ballroom. Carl made an excuse to take Ruth back first, so we won't be suspected if we go now." Astor didn't want to mess with it. It is well known that he does not want his wife to be the center of attention.

Astor shook the brass bell on the head of the bed and asked his butler Ocado to come in. After all, the two of them used the excuse of being unwell to leave the ball. According to his identity, there are many people now. , I want to get close to him on the boat. Fortunately, when we arrive in the United States, we can cooperate in the hotel he is about to open.

"Ocado, you are guarding outside. If someone comes to us, just say that we will rest when we come back." Ocado is the housekeeper who has been with Astor for many years. He nodded, and he will do everything arranged by Mr. Done without compromise.

"Yes, sir." After receiving the instruction, Ocado also left the room behind the Astor couple, and dutifully prepared to resist those uninvited guests at the door.

When Astor took Meili to Carl's room not far from them, he saw Joey and LeJeff guarding outside, and they were very surprised when they saw the Astor couple.Regardless of age and status, it should be Carl and Ruth who went to visit them.

"Joy, are Carl and Ruth here?" Astor looked into Joey's eyes, and he didn't explain too much, after all, this is not a good place to talk.

"The young master is dining with Miss Bucket in the flower hall." Joey quickly took the Astor couple into the suite. After all, he could see that Mr. Astor really had something urgent, otherwise, he would have I won't come here so evasively.

"Master, Mr. Astor and Mrs. Astor are here together, in the living room." Joey went to the flower hall and told the two people who were dining. Ruth looked at Carl with some doubts, and he also shook his head, expressing that he didn't know what was going on.

"Ruth, let's go." With Carl's words, Via seemed to have heard the gospel of an angel. She was full just now, but Carl always felt that she ate too little. When the two were fighting, Joe Yi came in.

"Yeah." Weiya wiped her mouth, followed Karl to the living room full of doubts.She has a good relationship with Meili. Hill watched them come, and brought two cups of black tea on the coffee table?

"Joy, go down first." Carl could tell that something big had happened. After all, Astor started business at the same age as his father.And Mei Li has been infected by Astor's side for decades, so she would never show her emotions like this.

"Yes." Joey took Hill and the others out, and there were only four of them left in the room.

"Carl, listen to what Meili has to say to you first." Astor said straight to the point, there was no time to say those polite words now, and he went directly to the topic they wanted to discuss.When Meili told what she had just heard, Weiya was stunned. This should have been heard by Ruth, but now it has become like this. After all, others should know.

"Does anyone else know about John?" Carl didn't expect to let him know. He had already hinted that John should sell all the shares of White Star Company. After all, Ruth's excuse at the time was that he had no choice. Talk to others.

"Did you know that something would happen this time?" Astor thought of their conversation at the dinner party on the first day, which made him think that Karl should have known something before revealing it in advance.

"You should know that Andrew and Ismay had dinner with us at the very beginning. He mentioned the matter of speeding up. When I came back, I sent a telegram to the secretary's office to ask if there were icebergs or other things along the route. The danger exists. Although the course of the manufacturing industry I studied is not refined, I also know that if we encounter an iceberg in this 23th section, the probability of danger will be high. Therefore, I am afraid that at the most critical point There will be accidents. Sorry, I didn’t know how to explain it to you before. And the tonnage of this ship and the lifesaving ship, if encountering a large iceberg, it is certain that the whole ship cannot be saved.” Carl did not want to let Ruth took on these things, and even she knew it wasn't mentioned.Weiya knew that Karl was using his methods to protect her.

"Will things be so serious?" Astor was still a little worried when he heard this. After all, the shares of White Star Company are sold now. If nothing happened, he would have lost a lot of money?If it is not sold and something really happens, it will certainly not be a small matter.

"When Andrew introduced the ships when I took Ruth to the deck to enjoy the scenery, he also admitted that these lifesaving boats are only enough for first-class, second-class and a small number of third-class passengers to escape. Moreover, these are new, and it is estimated that it is impossible to reach full capacity, which means that as many people as you want will die.” Karl now also wants to have someone who supports him in doing so, at least not himself here I sold the stock before, so that even if someone thinks about it afterwards, they won't attack him specifically.Moreover, if something happened to the Titanic and many people lost their lives, the stock price of White Star Company would not be as high as before.

"Carl, this question is very serious. Tell me, have you sold the stock?" Astor thought that Carl should also hold a lot of White Star stock in his hand. If there is a companion who can sell it together, he should There is still an excuse.

"It's all sold, John, what do you think? I have a transmitter in my study, so you can send a message to your secretary's room." Carl also knew that the code of this transmitter would sink into the sea with the ship. He's not worried about what Astor has in his hands?After all, it is better to give charcoal in a timely manner than to icing on the cake at the end.

"Let me use it." Astor looked at Meili, and he saw support in her eyes.Every time he made such a decision, Meili was on his side.It's the same this time. It seems that after they sent the telegram, they may have more things to deal with.

"Let's go, Ruth, entertain Meili in the living room." Carl still showed his manly side in front of outsiders, and didn't want others to know that he would discuss things with Ruth sometimes.Weiya knew that this was nothing more than Carl showed Astor, so he nodded obediently.

"Ruth, it seems that the worst thing may happen. We have to make all the preparations, and we can't prepare later." Meili watched the two men leave the living room, and hurriedly explained to Ruth, who was just 17 years old, After all, she is still too young to think of many things.It is better for her friend who is much older than her to remind her.

"Prepare things..." Ruth saw the word "playing stupid" in Carl's eyes just now. Forget it, Carl will never hurt her, right? Obedient obedience is the most practical thing, isn't it?

"Yeah, this shipwreck may have to drift on the ocean for a long time. Look at the cold temperature now. If we don't prepare some warm things, no one can guarantee that we can survive." Mei Li knew that the first-class cabin The passenger survival rate will be the highest on the entire ship. This is a reality, and it is unfair to say, but there is no way to stop this.

"Well, Mei Li, do you know what should be prepared?" Even if Wei Ya knew to prepare these things, she still wanted to hear Mei Li's opinion, after all, she knew this era better than herself.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but our thick clothes must be prepared. Let's discuss it after they come back." Meili can see that Ruth is more dependent on Carl now, and she is still young. , It is estimated that they are still digesting the information they just said.She never bothered Ruth, who was already in deep thought.
