"The Sin of Harold Diddlebock" will be silent for a long time after it is removed from the theaters, because Howard Hughes has no intention of paying attention to it anymore.

He's in trouble.

In response to the fact that Hughes's aircraft company took a $50 million deposit from the military during World War II but did not deliver a single plane, the relevant congressional committee intends to hold a hearing.

For a while, the media across the country were paying attention to this matter.

This matter, ostensibly aimed at Hughes's aircraft company, is actually aimed at Global Airlines.

The main man behind it is Pan Am, which has a monopoly on transoceanic routes, and Hughes-controlled Trans Am is trying to invade Pan Am's territory.

Pressure from the political sphere and the media's pursuit and interception made Hughes's obsessive-compulsive disorder rapidly intensify.

He became more and more eccentric, locking himself in his room, naked, not seeing anyone, only communicating with the outside world through the door.

Anyone who knows about this feels that a generation of legends is coming to an end.

……

Time passed little by little in Girard's daily entanglement.

In mid-April, lawyer Abbott received good news from New York, and although the manager of the office was unable to testify in court because of a sudden car accident, the team of lawyers pressed the defendants against the dock during the first trial. Unfortunately, the court still has not handed down a verdict.

The time is fast approaching May.

May is Evan's long-awaited month.

On the first day of May, Labor Day is celebrated in many places around the world, but not in the United States, where Labor Day began.

On May 1, 1886, a nationwide general strike broke out in the United States, and the eight-hour workday was finally won at the cost of hundreds of deaths and injuries.

A few years later, the Second International, led by Engels, designated this day as Labor Day.

There is also Labor Day in the United States.

However, Americans' Labor Day is not the day when the strike broke out, but is set on the first Monday of September every year.

This is because the AFL, which pushed for the establishment of Labor Day in the United States, did not want to associate the holiday with socialists and anarchists.

The second day of May is Friday.

Evan left the lab early and went to a Hollywood jewelry store and the Friesman House before heading back to the cabin in the woods.

He went to pick up something.

After nearly half a year of "fermentation", the reputation of the Frisman House has spread in Hollywood, and the reputation is also being established. Nowadays, many rich people and even celebrities come here every day, and almost all of them leave behind their body size.

When Evan arrived at the Friesman House, it was about five o'clock, and it was quiet in the store.

As soon as he entered the shop, Evan went straight to the inside of the tailor's job. A clerk tried to stop him, but was stopped by a colleague.

The clerk was a new employee, and after his colleague explained Evan's identity in his ear, he quickly thanked his colleague repeatedly.

"Hi, old Freesman!"

Evan who came to the middle of the room greeted old Frisman who was cutting the fabric, "Can you stop for a moment, I want to get the clothes!"

Old Freesman put away the scissors and wondered, "Have you ordered clothes lately?"

Evan prompted: "I ordered ...... last year"

"Oh! I remembered...... The design you gave me!" Old Freesman tapped his head, as if to blame himself for his poor memory, "I just changed the size a few days ago, after all, people are still growing their bodies. ”

Old Freesman walked into a room connected to the dressroom, and after a while he came out with a box in his hand.

He handed the box to Evan and asked, "Do you want to see it?"

Evan hugged the box tightly and shook his head: "No, I've already seen everything that should be confirmed." ”

Old Freesman looked at his nervous and serious appearance, and said with a smile: "After preparing so long in advance, you are finally going to send it away?"

Evan replied, "Because the time has come." ”

Saturday, the third day of May.

It's rare that Audrey didn't go to the crew to rehearse and was at home all day.

Audrey said that it was because the audition was about to be held, and the crew was on vacation, so that all the actors could take a break and recuperate.

Evan went to school as usual and returned home in the evening.

This took Audrey by surprise.

She thought Evan would be at home in advance to prepare for tomorrow.

As a result, Audrey also had some minor disappointments.

Anyway, it's also his birthday, Evan shouldn't forget it, right?

Probably not, he had already paid attention to it a month ago, but it didn't make sense that he didn't remember it a month later.

Audrey was alone at home and couldn't help but think about it.

Could it be that he secretly made arrangements somewhere else to surprise himself?

Well...... Quite possibly!

For example, ordering a candlelit dinner at a hotel, deliberately taking yourself out shopping tomorrow, shopping until the evening under the pretext that you don't want to cook, and then tricking yourself into going to the hotel, and then suddenly a huge cake pushes out......

Well...... It's silly to think about!

Belch...... What if that's the case? Do you want to cooperate and pretend you don't know anything?

Thinking of this, Audrey, who was sitting on the sofa, bent her legs, stepped on the edge of the sofa with her smooth little feet, wrapped her hands around her calves, rested her chin on her knees, and grinded her teeth tangled.

Forget it, although there may be no surprises, but let's cooperate with him.

You can't let him lose face!

But, having said that, Evan doesn't seem to be the kind of person who likes to celebrate private matters in public...... So, nine times out of ten, his surprise was not this.

What could it be?

Audrey's chin massaged her knees from side to side, trying to guess Evan's thoughts.

"Jingle bell!"

Just as Audrey was thinking, the phone rang.

Audrey was awakened and came to the phone barefoot.

"Hey...... Here it is...... Ah, it's Daddy!"

Audrey sat down on the couch with the telephone set in her arms, nodded and said, "Well, thank you, Dad, I know it's my birthday tomorrow, I didn't receive it!"

"Don't worry, it's estimated that the postal service is delayed. It's okay, Dad, I'm happy to have a present. ”

"Can I ask what it is?" Audrey said with a grin, "If I don't like it, I'll refuse it, and then you can buy another one!"

"Okay, it's really okay, maybe the postman will come to you later?"

"You ask Evan? He knows...... Now, he's gone, he's gone to school!"

"It seems that the laboratory is very busy, and he has a lot of courses......"

Not knowing what Joseph said, Audrey's face suddenly turned red, and she yelled at the microphone: "Dad, what are you talking about! Evan has no problem, I know this!"

"Okay, don't worry, I won't suffer, don't be suspicious over there. ”

……

Audrey and Joseph's phone call lasted half an hour before it ended. It was almost noon, and the postman really came to the door.

In the evening, when Evan returned, Audrey made a special observation and found that he really seemed to have returned from the school laboratory.

The smell of the potion on Evan's body can't be faked.

Well...... Did he really forget such an important day?

Audrey couldn't help but muttered in her heart.
