"Sir, Mrs. Hockley is waiting for you in the reception room!" On this day, Casey reported to Monet.

"Ruth, why did she come all of a sudden?" Monet muttered puzzled as he put on his clothes and walked downstairs.

Although he knew that Ruth must have come suddenly, Monet couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Ruth, because Ruth was wearing too plain at the moment, although she was not usually the kind of style that dressed particularly luxuriously, but now her clothes are simply plain and excessive, not to mention compared with before, even Nicole can't compare, that is, she can be a little stronger than Casey......

So Monet asked curiously, "Ruth, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm divorced from Carl!" Ruth replied with a flat expression.

This would explain the change in her style of dress, otherwise Monet would have thought Karl was bankrupt, but he had the impression that Karl would not have gone bankrupt until the economic crisis of 1929.

But Monet still didn't understand one thing: "Why did you divorce all of a sudden?" ”

Ruth still replied succinctly: "Since the last fake Jack incident, Carl found that I still hadn't forgotten him, so his attitude towards me became worse and worse, and finally we simply negotiated a divorce!" ”

Monet agreed with this reason, because the last time she learned that "Jack" was killed, Ruth's reaction was too great, it is estimated that no man will allow his wife to have such deep feelings for another man, and it has been a year, and the reaction is still so big, it is estimated that she will not necessarily forget it in this life, so it is normal to divorce because of this matter! (The same goes for women.) ）

"What about little Irwin?" Monet asked. (Because of my negligence, Ruth's child and Madeleine's child have the same name, so this and the previous changes have been made.) ）

"Carl takes care of him, after all, he can give little Irvin a better life, but I visit him every once in a while!"

Monet could see that Ruth was forcibly suppressing her inner emotions, so she diverted the topic and asked, "Then what are you going to do next?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I'll live a wonderful and fulfilling life as I promised Jack!" Ruth looked into the distance and replied softly, as if she was thinking of Jack again.

Fortunately, she quickly adjusted her mentality and asked Monet, "By the way, Tony, I remember that you are very familiar with a theater owner on Broadway, can you introduce me to acting with them?" Actually, I've always wanted to be an actor! ”

"You said Mike, there must be no problem with this!" Speaking of this, Monet's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and then said to Ruth: "By the way, Ruth, do you want to act in a movie?" ”

"Of course you do, Tony, do you know anyone who made movies?" Ruth asked curiously.

Monet nodded and replied: "Of course I know, and he has always invited me to watch him make movies, so let's go over and see if we can get you a role!" ”

What Monet said was naturally Chaplin who was filming "Making a Living", in fact, he did invite Monet several times, but because Nicole was reluctant to go, Monet felt that it was boring to go alone, so he never went, and now he is sending Ruth over to change his mood.

What Monet didn't expect was that when he learned that he was going to take Ruth to Hollywood, Nicole, who was originally not interested, suddenly became interested and wanted to go together, so he left Casey to take care of the house, and Monet took the two daughters to Hollywood together.

Although Hollywood at this time cannot be compared with the future in terms of urban scale, transportation, commerce, landscape, or various movie theaters, it is much stronger than when Monet came last year, and there have been well-known large companies created here, such as the famous actor company founded by Chuckol in 1912 and J.L. Laskey established the Jesse Lasky feature film company in 1913 to form the famous actor - Lasky Company, which is the predecessor of Paramount Pictures.

The place where the three of them settled was naturally a small hotel that Monet had invested in Hollywood before, speaking of which this hotel really surprised Monet, because he just wanted to occupy a land before, and he didn't care about the hotel operation at all, but fortunately the manager Milton who he was looking for was not only a genius who ran the hotel, but also had a very good character. Even when other bosses poached him with high salaries, he was unmoved and insisted on completing the contract with Monet.

So through this visit, Monet re-signed a contract with Milton, which not only greatly increased his salary, but also gave him a 10% stake to motivate him to work hard. Of course, if you don't do this, it is estimated that when the contract expires, people will not do anything with you......

After signing the contract, Monet went to find Chaplin, and after learning Monet's intentions, Chaplin not only happily agreed to fight for a small role for Ruth, but also said to Monet: "How about Tony, do you want to play a role and have fun?" ”

"Forget it, I don't have the skills!" Monet excused.

"Don't worry, this is not a stage play, you can do it again if you can't shoot it well! And just play your old job, a street painter, you just paint there! Chaplin persuaded.

Seeing that Chaplin was so insistent, and it was indeed very simple to see this role, and more importantly, the movies at this time were all silent movies, so there were no line requirements, so Monet agreed.

Originally, Monet thought that he was just painting on the street, and then waited for Chaplin to come over and knock down his easel, and then he would be in a state of scolding him, which should be very simple, but when it was really filmed, it was found that it was actually difficult, but Ruth seemed very talented in this regard, and even the director promised to propose to the boss to sign her!

Ruth herself also likes the feeling of filming very much: "Tony, thank you so much, you can bring me to Hollywood, I decided, I'll act for two years first!" ”

Seeing that Ruth could find a job that satisfied him, Monet, as a friend, was naturally happy for her, but what he didn't know was that Ni on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief......

PS: Thank you for the support of the book friend "Sky Mountain City Flying Snow"! In addition, following Gates's trend, I will also write about divorce......

PS2: Ask for favorites and recommendation votes again, I guess everyone forgets to vote a lot of the time, but it's actually very important to me!
