Matriarch of the Hockleys

"That's really a pity!" Mrs. Bennet exclaimed pretending to be pity.Poor Miss Cabot, to have such a mother who does not care about her daughter's reputation!Doesn't she know that fame is also an important bargaining chip for unmarried ladies?

The sullen Mrs. Rufu and Mrs. Bennett, who didn't know she looked down on, were secretly laughing at herself.It's not that she doesn't care about her daughter's reputation, it's just that Ruth's suitors are all excellent.She was never worried about Ruth's marriage, only Ruth's attitude troubled her, and the others were nothing!

"How long has that Mr. Hockley pursued Miss Ruth?" Mrs. Bennet said curiously.

"About three months or so! He is really hardworking, but Ruth doesn't like him very much." Fortunately, Ruth has already dated Mr. Hudson.Although the ancestors of the Hockley family are much richer than the Hudson family, their main business is in the United States, unlike the Hudson family.

As long as Ruth marries George, it will be more convenient for her to live in the future when she gets older.

"Isn't that Mr. Hockley?" asked Mrs. Bennet, raising her hand holding the glass. "That lady is really beautiful, I don't know which family she is from!" Mrs. Bennet pretended not to see Mrs. Roof's discolored face, and continued.

At this time, Mrs. Ruth seemed to have been slapped. She just told Mrs. Bennet that Carl was very attentive when he pursued Ruth, but when she turned around, she was slapped in the face by her own words.

Looking at Andrea dancing on the dance floor, Madam Rufu gritted her teeth, damn it!

Remembering that Mrs. Bennet was still beside her, Mrs. Rufu forced herself to maintain her demeanor. "Young people are always too impulsive, thinking that starting a new relationship can forget the one that failed before." Mrs. Rufu's words can't fool Mrs. Bennett, she doesn't think it's a bit willful and rude A little Ruth would haunt the rich Mr. Hockley all the time.Besides, the lady who danced with Mr. Hockley looked much prettier than Miss Ruth!

Although she scoffed at Mrs. Ruffle's words, Mrs. Bennet said casually, "Maybe! But that lady looks really good for Mr. Hockley!"

"I hope Mr. Hockley can find his destiny! After all, Ruth's previous rejection has hurt him." Mrs. Ruth pretended to be sympathetic.

"Where is Miss Ruth? Where is she?" Mrs. Bennet suddenly interrupted Mrs. Ruth's hypocritical words.

"She seems to have gone to chat with Mr. Hudson. After all, young people in relationships are always inseparable!" Mrs. Rufu looked around and couldn't find her daughter and George, but she didn't take this matter to heart. .

However, Ruth is not talking to George as Mrs. Ruth thinks.She stood anxiously in the corner of an empty corridor, walking back and forth from time to time.

"Ruth!" Jack exclaimed in surprise, "What do you want me for?" He never thought that Ruth would send someone to contact him.God knows, he was about to shout excitedly!

"Jack," Ruth looked at Jack nervously, she didn't know how to bring up the elopement.Her brain, which was excited by that outrageous incident, also calmed down. She didn't seem to consider the possibility of Jack's rejection.

Ruth looked at Jack with a joyful face, and was suddenly a little confused. "Jack, do you love me?" Ruth looked into Jack's eyes, wanting a definite answer.

"Of course, Ruth." Jack looked at Ruth with resolute eyes. He felt that it was impossible for him to fall in love with other women in his life.

"Are you willing to leave with me?" Ruth took a deep breath and asked a little nervously. "Just the two of us!"

"You mean, would you like to walk with me?" Jack felt as if he was hallucinating.He repeated in disbelief.

"Don't you want to?" Ruth looked at Jack's shocked eyes, and said a little uneasy.

Jack licked his dry lips, "Of course not. Ruth, I'm just too surprised." Jack squeezed Ruth's hand, "I do, Ruth. It's such a surprise. Sorry, it was supposed to be The man proposed it. Ruth, I really didn't expect you to give up so much for me!" Jack hugged Ruth a little excitedly.

"Jack," Rose responded, climbing onto Jack's back.

"Do you regret it? Ruth!" Jack kissed Ruth's earlobe and looked at Ruth's face seriously.

"I..." As soon as Ruth opened her mouth, she saw someone walking towards this side.

"Good evening, Miss Cabot." Tom saluted Ruth respectfully.

"What's the matter?" Ruth pursed her lips and looked at Tom with six or seven crew members behind him, suddenly feeling a little uneasy.

"I'm Mr. Hudson's servant. It's like this. Our husband lost a gemstone cufflink. And this gentleman always shows up in first class these days, so I hope you can cooperate with our search." Tom looked Jack said a little forcefully.

"Search? Random search without evidence. Is this the attitude of the Titanic towards passengers?" Ruth said with some dissatisfaction.

"Sorry. But this passenger who lived in the third class violated the regulations, and his behavior of frequenting the first class is really suspicious." A crew member who seemed to be of a higher rank explained, "I hope you can cooperate with our search, Sir." After finishing speaking, several crew members stepped forward and forcibly searched Jack.

"Oh! You can't," said Ruth, separated by Tom. "Miss Cabot, I can understand how you feel. But this is the gentleman's last way of proving his innocence, isn't it?"

"You," Ruth said angrily, she was very angry at the rude behavior of these people.But she also knew there was no other way.

"Hey! Found it." A crew member walked to Tom with what he found on Jack.

"Is it in there?" He opened his hand, and there was a gemstone cufflink and two pearl jewelry for women.

"Yes, that's it!" Tom said with certainty, picking up the cufflink. "Sir, do you have anything else to say?" Tom looked at Jack seriously.

"I don't know, it's not me." Jack shook his head in a panic, and he hurriedly looked at Ruth to explain.

"I didn't take it" Tom interrupted Jack's somewhat panicked rebuttal, "so, sir, can you explain how this cufflink happened to appear on you after it was lost?"

"I, I don't know, this," Jack was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, "It seems that these two accessories are not affordable for you!" Tom picked the remaining two accessories with his fingers.

"I gave it to him. After all, he saved me before." Although Ruth was a little uncertain about Jack's theft, she still subconsciously wanted to help him.She pulled the two accessories with some dissatisfaction.

"Then what's the matter with my husband's cufflinks? Could it be that it will run to this gentleman on its own? You must know that this cufflink is not only very valuable, but also a relic left by our husband's biological mother." The old man I have left a pair of cufflinks for my husband, but they are much more exquisite and expensive than this one.Tom looked at Ruth coldly.

Ruth was a little shaken by Tom's look, and she didn't know whether she should believe Jack's innocence.

"Let's go," several crew members grabbed Jack's hands and dragged him forward. "What are you doing? Ruth!" Jack was taken aback by their sudden actions.

"What are you doing!" Ruth yelled in surprise.

"This gentleman stole our husband's things, shouldn't it be locked up? You know, there are too many distinguished passengers in the first class. It would be terrible if this gentleman offends others again!" Tom didn't care Ruth's fright and anger, anyway, the Cabot's house will not be up for a long time, and then he wants to see how long this lady will be proud!

"Why do you arrest Jack! He is also a passenger of the Titanic!" Ruth tried to argue, and she looked at Jack's back being pulled forward with some worry.

"You can rest assured, Miss Cabot. We will notify the local police to take him in after we dock tomorrow." Tom said calmly.

"You!" "By the way, if you are dissatisfied with my handling method, you can report it to my husband. Goodbye, Miss Cabot." Tom turned and left after bending towards Ruth.

Looking at the back of them leaving, Ruth raised her foot and stomped the floor fiercely with anger on her face.Damn, how could this happen!

Ruth, who was very upset, went straight back to the bedroom.Did Jack ever do that?Ruth believed in her heart that Jack would not do such a thing, but she couldn't refute it.After all, the things were indeed found from Jack.

After a long time, until Mrs. Ruth came back from the ball, Ruth still didn't calm down her emotions.

"Ruth, why didn't you dance with George today? Don't you know how important today's dance is?" Mrs. Ruf's anger that had been suppressed all night finally broke out unbearably.

She looked at Ruth with a look of hatred. "Why do you always have an attitude of not knowing the hard work in the world! How could I have such an unworthy daughter like you." Mrs. Lufu screamed with a flushed face.

"Mom, me," Ruth wanted to say something. "I don't want to talk to you anymore, Ruth. I want you to go and have a good talk with George. Within a month you have to find a way to get him to propose to you, and then say yes to his proposal. Got it, Ruth. " Madam Rufu said word by word.
