"Ruth, why are you here?!" An old female voice came from not far away, and then Monet saw an old woman walking briskly to Ruth's side, and it was obvious that this was Ruth's mother, Madame Bookett.

"Mom, why are you here?" Ruth was obviously taken aback by her mother's arrival, because according to her original plan, she was going to change her name and surname and leave the family that suffocated her, so she didn't go to look for her mother and Carl, but she didn't expect her mother to find her.

"Of course I'm coming, hurry up, come back with me!" Mrs. Bookett said in a tough manner.

"No, I'm not going back, I've broken up with Carl, and I don't want to go back to the place that suffocates me!" Ruth replied emotionally.

Seeing Ruth's attitude so tough, Mrs. Bookett had to change her approach, and said with a miserable face: "Ruth, it's not your mother who forced you, you also know the situation of our family, if you don't marry Carl, how will we live in the future?" ”

Before her mother could finish speaking, Ruth interrupted: "I will make money to support you, I don't believe it, without that Carl, we can't live!" ”

"How are you going to make money? What will you do? Do you know how much money it costs to sustain us now? Mrs. Bookett questioned.

Her mother's questioning immediately stopped Ruth, because she hadn't thought about it before, in fact, she wasn't to blame, how could a noble lady like her have considered this kind of question before? And she really doesn't know what kind of work she can do?

But even so, Ruth still insisted on stubbornly: "Although I don't know what I can do now, I believe that as long as I find, try, and work hard, I will definitely be able to find a job that suits me, maybe the income brought by this job can't sustain our current life, but it must be happier than now!" ”

For Ruth's answer, Monet silently praised her in his heart, these words are indeed very beautiful, but it is a pity that at least at least for the time being, she should not have the opportunity to implement this plan, sure enough, I saw Mrs. Bookett snort coldly: "To be honest Ruth, I really want you to go to the society to meet and break the blood, so that you know how naïve your current ideas are, but unfortunately, even if I am willing to give you this opportunity, Karl will not give it to you, do you know where the destination of the Carpathia is?" I'll tell you, it's New York, and Carl happens to be an American, and he's a rich American, and he has so much energy there that you can't imagine, so as his wife, you don't have that opportunity at all, if you don't believe it, you see if you can get off the boat! With that, Mrs. Bookett turned and left.

After Mrs. Bookett left, Ruth collapsed in her chair, because she knew that her mother had not lied to her, not to mention that a rich man like Carl was in the wild and backward United States (well, in the eyes of the European aristocracy at that time, the United States was like this), even in a country with sound laws like England, he still had unimaginable privileges for the low, what should he do in the future? Do you really have to live in that suffocating environment for the rest of your life? But in that case, what's the point of Jack exchanging his life for the opportunity he gets?

Just when Ruth was full of cranky thoughts, Monet leaned over and whispered: "Miss Bookett, in fact, you don't have to be so pessimistic, this Mr. Carr's energy is indeed not small, but it is far from being able to cover the sky with one hand, so you might as well pretend to be obedient now, and wait until you get to New York and then find a chance to escape, after all, this is a ship, as long as Mr. Carr sends someone to guard the entrance of the ship, you have no chance to escape, but when you get to New York, he can't look at it at all in all directions!" ”

Listening to Monet's words, Ruth's eyes gradually brightened, yes, I don't have a chance now, but when I get to New York, I will definitely have a chance, and then I will find a way to get a ticket back to London, I don't believe that you can still take me when you return to London.

"Thank you, Mr. Monet, I know what I have to do!" Ruth thanked Monet.

In a few minutes, two young men and women, who looked very capable, came up and said to Ruth, "Hello Miss Booker, Mr. Carr has sent us to take care of you, and now please come back with us for lunch!" ”

Originally, the two of them were ready for Ruth's refusal, and even thought about how to take her back as gracefully as possible, but Ruth stood up and pulled her hair, held her head high and said with a noble expression: "Lead the way!" ”

This made the two of them stunned for a moment, why did this suddenly become so easy to talk? Just when they were stunned, Ruth scolded with some displeasure: "What are you doing in a daze? ”

The two of them reacted at this moment, stretched out their hands and bent over, "Eh, okay, please here!" ”

Ruth nodded to Monet before leaving, and then followed the two away.

"Well, Miss Bookett still has her mother and fiancé, and she has a choice between going back to enjoy a life of abundance but suffocation, or a life of freedom and poverty, and we have nothing, and we have no choice at all!" Looking at Ruth's back, Wendy sighed leisurely.

"Miss Bookett just said a very good thing, as long as you are willing to find, try, and work hard, you will definitely be able to find a job that suits you and happiness that belongs to you!" Monet persuaded, then hesitated a little, and then said: "And if I'm not mistaken, there should soon be an insurance money or hush money that will allow us to establish ourselves in New York for the time being!" ”

"Hush money?! What does that mean? Wendy asked, puzzled.

"Miss Howard, you may not usually pay much attention to the information on current affairs, such a huge accident and so many casualties on a giant ship like the Titanic, the public opinion of the outside world must be very large, and it cannot be concealed at all, so the White Star Company to which the Titanic belongs and the Morgan Group behind him will definitely find a way to guide the public opinion of this matter, and the first step is to buy us survivors, then the best and most direct means of buying is to give us a sum of money!" Monet explained.

In fact, this is not Monet's nonsense, in fact, the White Star Company did this back then, and the actual situation is not as orderly and gentlemanly as the movie......
