Matriarch of the Hockleys

"Why don't you believe me? I can guarantee it!" Carl said anxiously, frowning tightly.

"Sorry," Andrea broke away from Carl's arms and ran away.

Karl in the garden looked ahead, his eyes gradually becoming darker.He will never give up, and Andrea is destined to be his wife.

After Andrea stood by the window to watch the car leave, her whole heart ached.She regretted being so decisive before, and she still couldn't let Karl go, even though she still couldn't accept that.Andrea stood by the window sill expressionlessly, not knowing where her mind had wandered.

Just when their hearts were very tangled and irritable, time was quietly passing by.

"Sir," Leger walked into the office from the door with a serious face.

"What's the matter?" Carl had an old leather-bound book spread out in front of him, and he raised his head from the book and asked.

"It has been found out," Leger glanced at Carl secretly, "The person who has a close relationship with Miss Luna is Mr. Harry William." Seeing the thoughtful expression on Carl's face, Leger continued, " He has a jewelry store in New York, and he just arrived in the United States some time ago."

Harry William! ?That guy had fought Ruth with him before, and now he's messing with his old flame.I just don't know if what happened yesterday was Luna's own initiative, or he instructed Luna to cause trouble for him.

"By the way, sir. Mr. William will also attend the party you are going to attend tomorrow." Leger's words made Carl fall into deep thought.

After a while, he said, "During this time, let people pay attention to Miss Bruce's whereabouts, and come to report to me every day." "Yes." Leger bowed his head.

Carl waved his hand, and Leger stepped back.Carl's eyes were still on the pages of the book, but he didn't know where his mind went.

The melodious sound of the trumpet, the perfectly furnished living room, the men coming and going, and occasionally a female companion standing beside.From time to time, there are waiters shuttle back and forth carrying things.

"Oh, Carl, long time no see." A burly man stepped forward and hugged Carl. "Hey, Colin, long time no see, I really miss you." Carl patted his friend.

"I haven't congratulated you yet. It's really lucky to be able to survive the Titanic!" Colin Gale, a well-known farmer in New York, one-third of New York City's beef, mutton and related dairy products come from his ranch .

"God bless," Carl shrugged with a smile, eyes wide.

"This is also a good sign! You will definitely make a lot of money this year." Mr. Gale smiled and handed a glass of red wine to Carl, "Cheers!"

"Cheers!" The two clinked glasses and smiled at each other.

"By the way, do you know a jeweler named Harry William?" Carl wanted to hear some useful news.

When he was in England, although he was a rival in love with William, he really had nothing to do with that guy.He only knew that William was a widower with a child, a wealthy jeweler in London, but he didn't expect William to open a jewelry store in New York.

"Harry William?" Mr. Gale pondered, "Is that the man?" He gestured with his eyes.

"Yes," following his friend's gesture, he saw Mr. William and his former mistress Luna not far away.

"Hey, I didn't expect the woman you dumped to be taken by that guy." Gail had recognized the woman a long time ago, after all, she had stayed by Karl's side for a long time.

"Why, you're interested too?" Karl raised his eyebrows and glanced at Mr. Gale.

"Are you kidding me? I don't have any idea about her. What I love is a pure girl, not this kind of enchanting woman." Mr. Gail retorted a few words, and he didn't like that kind of woman.

"Okay, okay, okay, girl, your taste is really specific." Carl smiled indifferently.

"Why did you remember to ask him?" Gail asked curiously. "Don't you have any more love for that woman?" He couldn't help joking, although he was sure that Karl had long since lost interest in that woman.

"Are you kidding? Don't say such things. It's easy to cause misunderstanding if people hear it." Thinking of Andrea, who he had always cared about, he retorted.He didn't want Andrea to hear such words again, otherwise he would have no chance of saving her.

"Family? When did you care so much about other people's opinions?" Carl's words seemed to startle Mr. Gale, "Isn't it because you are afraid that your sweetheart will misunderstand you?"

"I know, you still say it." Carl choked on Mr. Gale with a hard-to-cover attitude.

"Which family's lady is it?" He knew that the attitude that could make Carl care so much was definitely not the kind of woman who was just playing around.

"Miss Bruce, her brother is Eden Bruce."

Carl's eyes softened.

"Eden Bruce? His father seems to be an English earl. You are really a good match." Mr. Gale said enviously, but unfortunately his wife is only a merchant's daughter.But fortunately, their relationship is not bad, Mr. Gale thought about it and then left it behind.

"It's a pity that there are always people who like to destroy other people's relationships," Karl looked at William and the others dissatisfied.

"Sabotage? That woman?" Mr. Gale touched the wedding ring on his hand.

"Maybe there is that Mr. William." Carl turned around and sneered.

Mr. William felt that someone was staring at him, but he looked back but found nothing. He said a few words to his companion with apology, and slowly changed the subject.

"This is too much," Mr Gale said, defending his friend.

"Let's not talk about this, do you know that William? I met him in England before. Isn't he a British businessman? How could that be?" Carl felt that the topic was too far away, and hurriedly pulled him back with a question.

"Him?" Mr. Gale frowned and thought for a while, "His mother, Mrs. William, is a widow in New York, and he just happens to open a shopping mall in New York, and his mother can usually take care of it by the way. As for the others, I don't care much about it." Understood. But he doesn't seem to have spent much time in New York, otherwise you wouldn't need to ask me."

"Yeah," Carl said, lost in thought.Should he try it out? If it's William's fault, he will definitely make him look good.Although in the UK, he is considered a coward, but here is the United States.

Just as he was thinking, Mr. William had already separated from his companion. He obviously saw Karl and walked over slowly.

"Mr. Hockley, nice to see you again." Mr. William had a false smile on his face.

"Mr. William," Carl also smiled hypocritically, "this is your female companion." Although it was a question, he said it in a declarative tone.

"This is my female companion, Luna. Didn't you just meet yesterday?" Mr. William had an expression on his face, while Luna, who was standing by the side, smiled coquettishly.

Because she was worried that it would reach Harry's ears in the future, when she saw Harry yesterday, she edited and told him what happened.It would have been nice to not have thought he'd known Carl long ago and had disagreed with him.It would be even better if Harry could be tricked into destroying Carl's new relationship.

Although she still has some sympathy for Karl, but Karl's behavior yesterday made her give up her plan to climb up to Karl again.Anyway, she is now in love with Harry, and although she is a widower with children, if she has the possibility of marrying into William's family, then this is not a big problem.

What's more, she is not young anymore, if she doesn't take advantage of her youth to make some money now, how will she live in the future.

"Mr. Hockley, good evening." Luna said with a smile on her face, holding Harry's arm.

Mr. William watched the scene in front of him quietly, full of malice in his heart.He hated this guy Hockley, and he had been robbing Ruth with him in England before.Although Ruth has been killed, Mr. William's dislike for Carl still cannot go away.

In his opinion, this guy is a hypocritical Yankee.Knowing that Luna turned out to be Carl's past mistress yesterday, he was as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.Although she said that they dated before, he was not stupid. A rich businessman and a commoner woman who sang in the opera house were obviously trading for money.

Although he didn't mind Luna's past, she was just a mistress after all.But just thinking about it being Carl's leftovers made him sick.

But when he thought about what Luna said yesterday, he resisted the idea of ​​dumping her.

Anyway, as long as he can add trouble to Carl, he will feel at ease.Besides, he wouldn't know what this woman was up to, but he was just pretending not to know.After all, this is the United States, in case Karl is offended, just hand over this woman.

Luna didn't expect that her little thoughts were so obvious in Mr. William's eyes, and she didn't know that the person next to her pillow had already plotted against her.

"This is?" Harry glanced at Mr. Gale, "This is Mr. Gale, the 'rancher' in New York."

"Seeing is worse than seeing once, Mr. Gale." He nodded his head as a gesture.

"What does Mr. William do?" Feeling the coldness of the atmosphere, Mr. Gale asked quickly.

"Oh, I also opened a jewelry store in New York. It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning." However, Harry had a haughty look on his face.

There were not many fools present, and they could see Harry's complacency.

"Jewelry mall? Mr. William has always lived in England, are you busy?" Carl said with sarcasm and provocation in his eyes.

"It's okay." Seeing their disapproval, Harry changed the subject in order not to continue to be embarrassed.

"I wonder if Ruth agreed to Mr. Hockley's pursuit before she died?" He said with a smile.
