Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 29: Have you ever thought about being the boss?

I have something to do tomorrow, so I won't come here, you guys continue to do things. Hardy finished speaking and was about to leave.

Just walked to the door and Nick followed.

Boss, tell you something. Nick said.

What's up?

Nick took out an exquisite small box from his pocket, with a Rolex label engraved on it, Boss, in order to treat my wife, you made your own watch. Today I went out and passed the Rolex watch store and saw a new watch. Bought one.

Hardy opened the box in surprise, and there lay a delicate gold watch, slightly different from the ones Hardy robbed Cook, but more beautiful.

I originally wanted to buy one that was exactly the same as yours before, but the clerk said it was out of stock. This is a new second-generation gold watch, so I bought this one, Neil explained.

Hardy thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Neil: Thank you Neil, I accepted this watch, by the way, how is your wife's illness?

Neil laughed.

It has improved a lot. The doctor gave her penicillin and other drugs. Now she has less cough at night and can basically live a normal life. Dr. Murphy said that as long as she takes another month of treatment, she can be treated conservatively.

That's great.

......

the next day.

Hardy goes to the hospital to see Bill.

This guy is recovering very well, he can get out of bed, and when he sees Hardy coming over, he whispers: I read the newspaper, the Spanish casino was robbed, and it is said that the loss exceeded 200,000 US dollars. Do you know who did it Jon? ?

We did it, Hardy said.

Bill opened his mouth wide, and then a look of annoyance appeared on his face.

If I'm healthy, I can make a lot of money by following your actions. It's a pity.

Then get better soon. Don't always focus on women. In the past two months in the hospital, you have gained weight again. Hardy said.

Hehehe~! Bill only smirked.

to be frank,

In the past two months, apart from the beginning, he lived a very nourishing life in the following days.

After leaving Bill's ward, Hardy went to visit Neil's wife again and sent a bouquet of flowers, while Jenny couldn't stop thanking Hardy.

After all, it was Hardy who brought them to Los Angeles. If it weren't for Hardy, she would still be suffering and might even be dead.

It's afternoon.

Hardy put on the newly bought clothes, shirt, tie, belt, leather shoes, and finally put on a coat, standing in front of the mirror looking handsome and burly.

at dusk,

Get into the new car and come downstairs to Marissa's house.

Di Di~!

Hardy got out of the car, honked his horn twice, and looked up at the second-floor window.

Not long after the window revealed a beautiful face of a woman.

Jon, I'll go down right now.

The woman was wearing a dress and walking downstairs with high heels on her feet. Hardy felt bright as soon as she came out.

Marissa, you are so pretty today.

The woman smiled sweetly at Hardy, I've been preparing since the morning.

The two got into the car and drove to Siegel's Beverly Manor. On the way, Marisa looked at Hardy, Jon, I'm a little nervous.

Hardy reached out and stroked the woman's hair, There's no need to be nervous, I believe you will be the most beautiful woman at the party.

The lights are on.

Many guests came to Siegel Manor.

Countless luxury cars were parked in the courtyard, and the men and women were gorgeously dressed.

Marissa got out of the car and tugged at her skirt nervously. The confidence that Hardy had cultivated on the road disappeared again, and she held the man's arm tightly.

Hardy clapped the woman's hand and gave her a reassuring smile.

The manor is very luxuriously decorated, with a marble-carved pool in the middle, and the lake water is as blue as a sapphire.

Jon, it's so beautiful here. Marissa praised.

Walking into the hall of the villa, the decoration inside is magnificent, and it is obviously redecorated for the party these two days.

There were a lot of people in the hall. People gathered together in twos and threes, or sat or stood chatting with wine glasses. Some people danced to the music. Men and women were full of relaxed smiles.

This gorgeous scene reminded Hardy of a movie he once watched.

the great Gatsby.

In that movie, the male lead played by Xiao Lizi is a bootlegger. After he has money, he spends a lot and mixes into the upper class. He often holds high-end parties at his castle and invites some celebrities to come over for a revelry.

The banquet held by Siegel was only slightly higher than Xiao Lizi's banquet.

In a corner of the hall, Hardy finally saw Siegel.

Siegel also saw Hardy and the others, and said to the friends around him with a smile, Hadi, welcome to my party.

This is your female companion, I don't know what to call it? Siegel looked at Marisa and asked with a smile.

Marissa. Hardy said.

Marissa gave Siegel a slight salute.

Miss Marissa is so beautiful. Siegel praised and turned to Hardy: Have fun with your girlfriends. There are many Hollywood stars here. You can chat with them and make friends.

Hadi, I'll find you later, let's chat a little alone.

Hardy's heart moved. He had long thought that it would not be easy for Siegel to let himself go to the party.

Good Mr. Siegel.

He brought Marisa to the table, picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Marisa, took a glass herself, and Marisa suddenly tugged at him.

Red lips moved to Hardy's ear, and Marissa said in a low voice, God Jon, guess who I saw?

Although the voice was kept as low as possible, the excitement and excitement could still be heard from the woman's voice.

Who?

Clark Gable, Reid from Gone with the Wind, he's my idol. Marisa shook Hardy's hand excitedly.

Following Marisa's eyes, Hardy found the handsome middle-aged man surrounded by a group of women, with a signature mustache, Clark Gable, who is now in his forties, mature, elegant, and confident. No wonder he can. Become the idol of thousands of women.

After a while, Marisa became excited again, Jon, I saw Greer Garson, the movie The Family of Loyalty starring her the year before last won the Best Actress Award. She is so beautiful and graceful. Marisa exclaimed.

Wow, Jon, it's Cary Grant. He's here too. He's been nominated for an Oscar before.

Jon, look at the lady standing by the stairs talking to people, that's Olivia de Havilland, she played Melanie in Gone with the Wind, and she won the 12th Academy Awards for best female Nominated for a supporting role.

As far as she could see, Marissa saw a lot of big stars, which made this girl who was chasing the Hollywood dream very excited, and now she can only try her best to suppress her gaffe.

In addition to those big stars, there are countless small stars here. The men are handsome and the women are beautiful. The people who can come here are more or less famous.

In Hollywood, there is no shortage of handsome guys and beauties. Every year, countless people come here to chase their dreams, but only a very small part of them are successful. In addition to strength, a large part of it depends on luck.

Sometimes people's luck really matters.

After playing in the hall for a while and dancing a few dances, a young man in a waiter uniform came to Hardy, Mr. Hardy, Mr. Siegel, please go to the balcony on the second floor.

Hardy nodded.

Marissa, play by yourself for a while, I'll go see Mr. Siegel. Hardy said.

Well, don't worry about me when you go to work.

Hardy came to the balcony on the second floor. Siegel stood by the marble column on the balcony and looked out. Standing at this position, he had a panoramic view of the entire manor.

Siegel looked at Hardy and threw him a cigar.

Thank you, Mr. Siegel.

Hardy took it and ordered it for himself.

Siegel puffed out a cigar, pointed to the manor and asked, How do you like this place?

It's luxurious.

Then do you like this kind of life, tell the truth.

Hadid paused.

like.

Hahaha~!

Siegel laughed.

No one doesn't like this kind of life, but this kind of life needs money and strength to support, Hadi, have you ever thought about being the boss?

Siegel looked into Hardy's eyes and asked.
