It was already late when Karl and Anne arrived at the hall because they were going to get the shawls again, and most of the people had already seated in small groups according to their status.

Carl brought Annie to the table of Andrews, the chief designer of the Titanic, and Ismay, the managing director. His business card was placed here. Indeed, according to his status as the heir to the steel king, he sat at this table of course. There is no doubt about it.

After realizing that Rufu and Rose were also at the end of the long table, Carl raised his eyebrows in surprise, didn't say anything, just looked away flatly, and pulled the chair away for Annie, letting her sit down.

"Oh! Look! This little cutie must be Robert's little girl."

Annie had just sat down firmly when a cheerful and enthusiastic greeting came from beside her.

Karl knew that the little girl hadn't officially entered the social circle, and many people probably only knew her name, but had never seen her in person, so he whispered in Annie's ear, "This is Mrs. Margaret Brown."

The mellow and charming voice drifted into her ears with bursts of breath. Annie, who had never been so close to her brother before, wanted to turn away from the beginning, but then realized that Mr. Capitalist was considerately introducing someone for her. It would be impolite if she turned her head away suddenly, so she held back her movements and nodded slightly to Mrs. Brown: "Yes, I am Anne? Robert, hello Mrs. Brown."

"Hey! What's your name, Mrs. Brown? It's so weird! Everyone calls me Molly, so you can call me Molly too!"

Annie had a good impression of this well-meaning fat lady, so she said kindly, "Okay, Molly."

"Mr. Hockley, I heard that you are going to be engaged to the Bucket family? Why are you sitting so far away from Miss Bucket now?"

This slightly hoarse female voice is here to find fault.

Annie looked for her reputation, and she was a middle-aged lady with a slightly pointed face and narrow eyes.

Her ambiguous eyes moved between Carl and Annie, but she deliberately brought up the topic of the Bookett family. It was very obvious that she wanted to watch a good show and gossip.

In the past, Karl was too lazy to reason with such malicious people, but he planned to take this opportunity to explain the matter clearly, so he made an exception and replied: "I don't know where you heard such false rumors. News? Hasn’t Madam heard that rumors end with wise men?”

First, he satirized this intentionally unpleasant woman, then Carl slightly raised his voice, and took the opportunity to announce: "I have no engagement with the Bucket family, please don't marry Miss Bucket with me in the future. Mention it together so as not to damage Miss Bucket's reputation."

From the moment Karl came in, Rose just looked at him and Annie coldly, watched him let Annie hold his hand into the hall, watched him open the seat for Annie, and watched him introduce Margot to Annie. Lit Brown.

And you said you have no personal affair?Everyone is on board!

He wanted to break off the engagement and blamed himself for all the faults. He didn't want to bear the burden and face judgment. Carl Hockley was indeed a despicable and shameless vampire capitalist!

The family has been out of the scope of high society, and Rose, who has no girlfriends and friends to pass on the news, doesn't know the reason why Anne appeared on the boat, not to mention that she was immersed in the sweet love of meeting the person who touched her all afternoon. , and have no time to care about these little things.

"You take care of Miss Robert so much, is she your fiancée?"

As soon as Rose opened her mouth, Rufu's face changed drastically, and she desperately pulled her daughter's skirt with her hands under the tablecloth, trying to make her stop talking nonsense.

Unlike daughters who disdain to associate with high-class people, Rufu is very keen to join the activities of noble ladies, so she knows a thing or two about the reasons why Anne appeared on the Titanic.She didn't know what kind of medicine Rose had taken wrongly to make such an attack on Carl at the dinner party?Obviously before coming in, she had told Rose that she no longer needed to play the role of fiancée.

The faces of those around who had heard the rumors of the upcoming engagement of Carl and the Bucket family all had slightly subtle faces—why does Miss Bucket's tone sound so strange?Looks like you're jealous?

"Miss Robert's brother asked me to take good care of her before taking her off the boat. I can't live up to my good friend's entrustment. As for the marriage contract, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

Carl answered Rose's questions indifferently, skillfully avoided the fiancé's questions, and he never easily came to conclusions about things that were uncertain.

Everyone present was not an idiot, and they didn't want any unpleasant conflicts to happen on the first night of the century cruise, so they quickly changed the subject.

The hearty Mrs. Brown was still the first to speak: "Sweetie Anne, oh, I call you Annie, you don't mind?"

After Annie shook her head to express that she didn't mind, Molly asked briskly: "I heard that you encountered a frightening thing today, are you calm now? Can you tell everyone how you rely on Did you get out of trouble with your own wisdom? I heard that you are very brave!"

In fact, no wisdom is used... (→_→) It all depends on the system...

Goodness System: jointly produced by the interstellar government, a good partner for escape, weight loss and beauty, you are worth having! <(@ ̄︶ ̄@)>

Annie knew that the story of her kidnapping would be spread, and she also knew that if she came to the banquet hall for dinner tonight, she would inevitably be asked about related matters. When she was alone in the room in the afternoon, she had already figured out how to deal with these problems .

She lowered her head halfway, made an embarrassed and scared look, shook her head lightly and said, "I'm not brave at all, I just desperately want to go back to my family." This is true, that's why I worked so hard Try to escape!

"I heard that your hands and feet were tied up, and your mouth was also sealed?"

----This is the one who wants to know the inside story if you don't want to wait. Fortunately, you can talk about it with others later.

"Poor thing! You must be in pain and frightened? How did you let Davidson find you?"

----This is to cover the heart of gossip in the meaning of caring and quietly inquire about the news.

Regardless of whether these ladies care about her sincerely, or use the name of caring for her to satisfy their own desires to dig out other people's secrets, Anne must show gratitude to them: "Yes. Hands and feet are tied." Then, She held up her hand to let everyone see the red and swollen scars on her hands from being strangled by the rope.

In order to keep these scars as evidence, she didn't dare to redeem the special medicine from the system to apply.

Carl also saw the unsightly marks on his snow-white skin.

In the afternoon, he himself was also in a state that seemed to be real, if it was a dream, and it was good that he could cope with the conversation with Annie normally due to his confusion and confusion. He had no extra energy to notice other things that were not right. place.

Carl looked at the little girl's red and swollen wrist with dangerous eyes, daring to hurt his and Robert's beloved little sister like this-the kidnappers can learn more lessons!

Maybe start with a prison cell on a ship?

Mr. Capitalist hid his dark thoughts very well, and listened to Anne with everyone on how to escape from the predicament.Like everyone else, he is not very clear about the process.

"...so I kicked the table with my feet, broke the cups and plates, and cut the ropes on my body with those pieces of porcelain..." Of course, those ropes cut by sharp knives were cut by her before Davidson called for someone to open the door. Throwing it into the sea to destroy the corpse, she didn't know where she was drifting with the ocean current, she even endured the pain and left a picture mark on her hand with broken porcelain as a proof of breaking free from the rope.

"I originally planned to use the rope to see if I could attract someone's attention from the window. Who knows, I accidentally fell into the sea without holding on to the rope. Fortunately, Mr. Davidson found me later."

"Ah! It's really terrible!" The lady exclaimed, covering her chest with her hands, gasping for breath.

"Fortunately, Goddess of Luck has taken care of you..." This is praying by making the sign of the cross.

"Don't let those bad guys go!" Then, he muttered softly: "Oh! So, you can't have illegitimate children..." This was filled with righteous indignation.

Some of the most exciting activities are horse riding ladies. After listening to Anne's climaxing kidnapping incident, I can't help holding down my beating heart. I feel as if I have experienced that horrible kidnapping incident with Annie, excited, And thrilling.

Most of the men gave Anne admiring glances. They didn't expect this young girl to be so courageous. Instead of waiting for someone to rescue her, she used the time when the kidnappers were not around to find a way to get herself out of trouble as soon as possible!

Karl thought that Davidson did not rescue Annie in the previous life. Did no one pass by when Annie called for help, or did something happen in the middle that caused no one to rescue her?

Anne’s body in her previous life did not have a system. Although her body was not as weak as it used to be, it was still a bit worse than ordinary people. Tom used a big wooden stick when he kidnapped her. Maybe he didn’t control his strength well, so he beat him with that stick. After that, Annie was in a coma with a high fever, and she didn't wake up until the ship sank.

The reason why Annie was able to avoid the attack of the big wooden stick this time was because the lucky crystal anklet tied to her foot played a role, allowing Annie to detect that someone was behind her in advance, so she could deal with it accordingly.

After avoiding a fatal injury, the system helped to cut the rope later, so the following things would not be too complicated.

When Rufu came back in a hurry, she only heard everyone whispering, but she didn't hear what they were saying clearly.

Just now she used the excuse of touching up her makeup to forcefully drag Rose out and ask her where did she go all afternoon?Why didn't you come back until before the party started?

Before attending the dinner, she only had time to explain to Rose at the door of the banquet hall that she no longer had to pretend to be Carl's girlfriend, but seeing her daughter's strange behavior, Rufu decided to find out what happened in the middle!

Looking at Annie who was sitting next to Carl, Rufu gritted his teeth unwillingly. Could it be that, as Rose said, the termination of the engagement wasn't their fault at all?
