"I have sothing to do tomorrow, so I won't co over here. You guys continue to do your work." After Hardy finished speaking, he was about to leave.
As soon as he reached the door, Neil followed him out.
"Boss, let tell you sothing." Neil said.
"What's the matter?"
Neil took out a delicate small box from his pocket with a Rolex label engraved on it. "Boss, in order to treat my wife, you used your own watch, today I went out and passed by the Rolex watch store, I bought a new watch that just ca out."
Hardy was a little surprised when he opened the box and found a delicate gold watch inside. It was slightly different from the one Hardy had stolen from Cook, but it was more beautiful.
"I originally wanted to buy one that was exactly the sa as yours, but the store clerk said it was out of stock. It was a newly launched second-generation gold watch, so I bought this one," Neil explained.
Hardy thought for a while, raised his head, and said to Neil, "Thank you, Neil. I will accept this watch. By the way, how is your wife's illness?"
Neil laughed.
"She has improved a lot. The doctor gave her penicillin and other dicines. Now she rarely coughs at night and can basically live a normal life. Dr. Murphy said that she only needs one more month of treatnt, and then she can be treated conservatively."
"That's great."
The next day.
Hardy goes to the hospital to see Bill.
This guy recovered very well and was able to get out of bed. When he saw Hardy coming over, he asked in a low voice, "I read the newspaper. The Spanish casino was robbed. It is said that the loss exceeded 200,000 US dollars. Do you know who did it, Jon?"
"We did it."
Bill opened his mouth wide, and then a look of annoyance appeared on his face.
"If I was in good health, I could have made a lot of money by following you. It's such a pity."
"Then get better soon. Don't always focus on won. In the past two months in the hospital, you beca Fat again." Hardy said.
"Hehehe~!" Bill could only giggle.
To be honest, In the past two months, except for the beginning, the rest of his life has been extrely nourishing.
After leaving Bill's ward, Hardy visited Neil's wife again and sent a bouquet of flowers. Jenny couldn't help but thank 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 a coat. He stood in front of the mirror and looked handso and tall.
In the evening,
He drove his new car to the downstairs of Marissa's house.
"Didi~!"
Hardy got out of the car, honked the horn twice, and looked up at the second floor window.
Not long after, a beautiful woman's face appeared through the window.
"Jon, I'll be down right away."
The woman went downstairs in a dress and high heels. As soon as she ca out, Hardy's eyes lit up.
"Marissa, you are so beautiful today."
The woman smiled sweetly at Hardy and said, "I have been preparing since the morning."
The two got in the car and drove to Siegel's Beverly Manor. Marissa kept looking at herself on the way then looked at Hardy, she said "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 in the party."
The lights ca on.
Many guests ca to Siegel's Manor.
There were countless luxury cars parked in the courtyard, n and won were dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Marissa got out of the car and tugged on her skirt nervously. The confidence that Hardy had inspired on the road was gone again. She held the man's arm tightly.
Hardy patted the woman's hand and gave her a reassuring smile.
The manor is extrely luxurious, with a marble carved pool in the middle, and the lake is as blue as a sapphire.
"Jon, it's so beautiful here." Marissa praised.
Walking into the lobby of the villa, it was magnificently decorated and had obviously been re decorated in the past two days for the party.
There were many people in the hall. People gathered together in twos and threes, sitting or standing, holding wine glasses, and chatting. So people danced to the music. n and won were all filled with relaxed smiles.
This gorgeous scene reminded Hardy of a movie he once watched.
"The Great Gatsby".
In that movie, the male protagonist, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, is a bootlegger. After he gets rich, he spends a lot of money to get into upper class society. He often holds high end parties in his manor and invites so celebrities to have a carnival.
The banquet held by Siegel was only slightly higher than the banquet hosted by DiCaprio.
In the corner of the hall, Hardy finally saw Siegel.
Siegel also saw Hardy and the others, said sothing to the friends around him, and walked over with a smile.
"Hardy, welco to my party."
"This is your female companion, don't know what to call her?" He looked at Marissa and asked with a smile.
"Marissa," Hardy said.
Marissa bowed slightly to Siegel.
"Miss Marissa is so beautiful." Siegel praised, turned to Hardy, and said, "Take your female companion and have fun. There are many Hollywood stars here. You can chat with them and make friends."
"Hardy, I'll see you later, and let's have a few words alone."
Hardy's heart moved. He had long felt that it would not be just a reward from Siegel to let him attend the party there must be other plans behind it.
"Okay, Mr. Siegel."
He led Marissa to the dining table, picked up a glass of wine, and handed it to Marissa. He also took a glass. Marissa suddenly tugged on him.
Putting her red lips close to Hardy's ear, Marissa lowered her voice and said, "Oh my God, Jon, guess who I saw?"
Though her voice was kept as low as possible, excitent could still be heard in the woman's voice.
"Who?"
"Clark Gable, Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind, he is my idol." Marissa squeezed Hardy's hand so excitedly that she couldn't help but tremble.
Following Marissa's eyes, Hardy found a handso middle aged man with a signature mustache who was surrounded by a group of won. Clark Gable, who is now in his forties, is mature, elegant, and confident. No wonder he can beco an idol for thousands of won.
After a while, Marissa beca excited again. "Jon, I saw Gloria Garson. She starred in the movie "The Brave Ho" the year before and won the best actress award. She is so beautiful and graceful." Marissa exclaid.
"Wow~ Jon, it's Cary Grant. He's actually here too. He's been nominated for an Oscar before."
"Jon, look at the lady standing by the stairs, chatting with soone. That's Olivia Deha. Weiland, who played lanie in Gone with the Wind, was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 12th Academy Awards. "
Everywhere she looked, Marissa saw many big stars, making her a girl who was determined to pursue her Hollywood dream so excited that she could only try her best to suppress Herself from losing her composure.
In addition to those big stars, there are countless small stars here. The n are handso, and the won are beautiful. Those who can co here are more or less famous.
In Hollywood, the most indispensable things are handso n and beautiful won. Countless people co here every year to pursue their dreams, but only a very small part of them succeed. In addition to looks, a large part of it also depends on luck.
Sotis people's luck matters more than their effort.
After playing in the hall for a while and dancing a few tis, a young man wearing a waiter's uniform ca to Hardy and said, "Mr. Hardy, Mr. Siegel invites you to the balcony on the second floor."
Hardy nodded.
"Marissa, you play by yourself for a while, and I'll go see Mr. Siegel." Hardy said.
"Well, you don't have to worry about , you go to work."
Hardy ca to the balcony on the second floor. Siegel stood by the marble pillars of the balcony and looked outside. From this position, he had a panoramic view of the entire manor.
Siegel looked at Hardy and tossed him a cigar.
"Thank you, Mr. Siegel."
Hardy took it and lit it for himself.
Siegel puffed out his cigar, pointed at the manor, and asked, "What do you think of this place?"
"It's very luxurious."
"Then do you like this kind of life? Tell the truth."
Hardy paused.
"I like it."
"Hahahaha~!"Siegel laughed.
"No one dislikes this kind of life, but this kind of life requires money and strength. Hardy, have you ever thought about being a big boss?"
Siegel looked into Hardy's eyes and asked.
Hardy looked into the distance and gave his answer with certainty.
"Yes!"
"Haha, okay, I like people with courage and ideals."
Hardy looked at Siegel and said, "Mr. Siegel, I don't know what you an by asking these words."
"Haha, very simple. I want to find a suitable person to do things for , and I think you are very good for the job" Siegel said.
