Matriarch of the Hockleys

"Oh, dear Carl, long time no see." Ismay stood up and said exaggeratedly, completely forgetting that she had talked with Carl at the dinner yesterday.

"Good morning, Ismay, Mr. Andrew, Captain Smith." Carl greeted everyone with a smile.

"One piece of bacon, one piece of fried egg, and one piece of Bath sweet bread." Carl asked the waiter for a typical English breakfast.

"Carl, the stock of White Star Company has been rising for a long time, and you have made a lot of money." Ismay said with a smile.

"What's the matter? Aren't you still the owner of White Star Company? If the stock price rises, won't all the assets in your hands rise accordingly? You are the biggest winner of the maiden voyage of the Titanic, aren't you? Ismay. "Carl raised his eyebrows and shot back.

"Oh, Carl, it's very modest of you to say that. 80.00% of the steel on the Titanic comes from your house. By the way, I sent a telegram to you for the final payment of the steel this morning. That's A lot of money."

"Understood. Ismay, what is your itinerary after you arrive in the United States? I want to be a landlord." Carl wanted to know Ismay's arrangements, intending to draw another big order.

"Of course. By the way, Carl, I don't know if you want to sell your stocks. You know, you spend most of your time in the United States, and the price of stocks is unpredictable. Why don't you transfer them to me?" , I am willing to pay a price that is 50.00% higher than the market price." Ismay has long wanted to increase his shares.Although I already own 13.00% of the shares of White Star Company, if I acquire [-]% of the shares from Karl, I will be more prepared.

"Let me think about it." Carl was very interested in the price that Ismay said was [-]% higher than the market price.Anyway, in the next few years, I will mainly accumulate contacts in the United States, laying the foundation for myself to inherit the Hockley family, and selling Ismay a favor is not a bad idea.

"I don't know when Mr. Andrew plans to design another passenger ship. It must be even more magnificent than the Titanic." If you want to build another one, your factory will definitely make extra profits this year.

"It's still early, I'm afraid I won't be able to create a passenger ship that can rival the Titanic for a long time." Most of the design drawings of the Titanic were designed by Mr. Alexander.I still have to study for a period of time to create a better passenger ship.Mr. Andrew secretly thought.

"You are too modest. However, the advent of the Titanic is indeed a miracle." Captain Smith stroked his bushy beard and said with a smile.Capton Smith has been chief captain of the White Star Company for 38 years, and this is his last voyage before retiring.He believes that the maiden voyage of the Titanic will draw a successful conclusion to his career.

"Oh, Carl. Do you still remember that before you set off, you specially asked me for three boat tickets next to each other? I don't know which lady was lucky enough to capture your heart." Ismay had already inquired about the two A mother and daughter lived in the room.

"You misunderstood, I just bought tickets for them by the way. You can't talk nonsense, it is very serious to affect a lady's reputation." He didn't want people to be misunderstood. I can't tell myself.

"Okay. Do you know that George Hudson? It's that British fur trader." Ismay was worried about what happened at the dinner party yesterday. It had been many years since she hadn't been popular like that, but Really. . .

"Hudson? I seem to have seen it yesterday. What happened?" Carl asked puzzled.

"His companion, Miss Ruth Cabot. That's such an educated lady!" Mr. Andrew was also dissatisfied with Miss Ruth.She even took issue with the Titanic.

"Ruth Cabot?" Carl's eyes flickered slightly. Could it be that she did something disrespectful again?Fortunately, I had given up on Ruth a long time ago, otherwise I might be the one who was talked about and ridiculed!Carl was very grateful.

"She actually contradicted and mocked me in public." Ismay was already furious because of Miss Ruth. "I've never seen such a lady. She doesn't look like a lady of high society."

"She is indeed a reckless lady. I forgot to say, those two tickets were obtained for her and her mother." Karl shrugged innocently.

"My God! Carl, you don't want to pursue her, do you? But I think she is getting along with Mr. Hudson." Ismay was taken aback.

"Of course not. I can't bear that Miss Ruth. They are going to the United States for vacation, and they just happened to entrust me." Carl is not willing to be connected with Miss Ruth by others now.I really don't know if I was stunned at the beginning, and I would chase after such a rebellious lady.

"What a wise idea. The Cabot family is indeed in decline, otherwise they would not have raised such a daughter." Although the Cabot family still has a title, a declining aristocratic family with no males and on the verge of bankruptcy is not Feared by Ismay.

Carl ate his breakfast leisurely, not saying a word to Ismay's words.Not knowing if Andrea was having breakfast now, Carl showed a gentle smile.

"Knock...butt..." Leger came to Andrea's door with a tray full of food.

"Here you come, Leger?" Lisa had a little impression of the Leger she met the day before yesterday. "Did Mr. Hockley tell you to come?"

"This is the breakfast our husband ordered for Miss Bruce." Leger handed the tray to Lisa.

"Hmm." Lisa took the tray from Leger and asked, "Is there anything else you want me to bring?"

"No more. I wish Miss Bruce a pleasant meal." After speaking, Leger left.Lisa looked at the tray in her hand and closed the door.

"Miss, Mr. Hockley has ordered someone to bring you breakfast." Lisa put the tray on the table.

"Understood." Andrea was wearing pajamas, looking a little sluggish.I actually dreamed that Mr. Hockley was chasing after me all the time yesterday, it was really too bad!How could I have such a dream?

Andrea walked to the table and looked at the breakfast that was said to be brought by Mr. Hockley.Well!Bath sweet bread, Scotch eggs, mille-feuille, butter baked mushrooms, German beef sausages, are okay.

God!There is even a rum fruit cake, oh!A man's taste, really. . .It's hard to say.

Andrea sat on a chair, eating a hearty breakfast leisurely.Why!It seems that my chocolate probably won't be able to keep.

The prosperity of the Titanic brought a burst of vitality to the calm sea.Under the blue sky, the Titanic was sailing at a constant speed across the Atlantic Ocean, accompanied by seabirds flying by from time to time.

"Luth, lean to the left a little bit, and lean your right hand on the railing of the boat. Yes, that's it, don't move. I'll be fine soon." As he said, Jack made a few gestures to Ruth with his hand and sketch pen. Down.

With a smile on her face, Ruth stood by the boat rail as Jack said.This is the first time she has had her portrait painted.Usually she draws some scenery by herself, or buys some favorite paintings to enjoy.

Jack looked up at Ruth from time to time, and then lowered his head to paint on his drawing board.Slowly, a silhouette of a woman appeared on the drawing paper.

Jack looked at Ruth fascinated.Her beautiful blond hair was shining in the sun, and there was a smile on her delicate face.Ruth, who is exquisitely dressed, looks like a seductive princess like a siren.

The handsome man is concentrating on the portrait of a beautiful young lady, and his eyes are full of unconcealable admiration.This scene was very harmonious, and made several passengers who were also on the deck feel the long-lost youthful atmosphere.

But this harmonious scene is very dazzling to a lady.

"Oh, Mrs. Rufu, isn't that your daughter, Miss Ruth? How could she let a third-class person paint for her." A thin lady said with a smile.

"Yes, Mrs. Bennett. I think it's because there are no famous painters on board, otherwise Ruth would not have just let an unknown painter paint her portrait." Mrs. Rufu replied with a smile.

But she was angry with Ruth in her heart, how could Ruth still have contact with this poor boy.Could it be that he is a toad who wants to eat swan meat, so he has to watch Ruth closely, and he can't let the inexperienced Ruth be cheated away by a poor boy.No, it seems that Ruth must be with Hudson. Only in this way can the boy's thoughts be completely cut off.As for Mr. Hudson, he can arrange a residence for us when we arrive in America.Well, I have to persuade Ruth quickly.

"I never thought that a painter would live in the third-class cabin." Mrs. Bennet stood on the deck of the first-class cabin and looked down.She didn't believe that it was just a painting. If it was true, she could have asked that guy to come to the deck of the first-class cabin. Why would she go to the deck of the third-class cabin by herself?

"Ruth is good in everything, but she is too kind. Otherwise, she would not let a third-class painter paint for her, but she is giving some dollars to that painter specially!" Madam Rufu will not let her mouth break Mrs. Bennet grabbed Ruth's pigtails.

Mrs. Bennet curled her lips disapprovingly, which was really demeaning.

"The sun is getting brighter, let's go to the coffee shop for a while." Mrs. Ruth looked at Ruth, then turned her head and said to Mrs. Bennett.

"Well. Let's go." Mrs. Bennet smirked, and when she turned around, she showed a disgusted and disdainful expression.

Mrs. Ruf smiled and walked down the deck with Mrs. Bennet.

The sun shines on the deck, and the previous harmony and tranquility are restored on the deck.The Titanic moved forward quickly, and several seabirds circled up from the Titanic's mast.Everything is so harmonious and full of vitality.
