"I have something to do tomorrow, so I won't come over. You guys continue with your work." Hardy said and prepared to leave.

As soon as I reached the door, Nick followed me out.

"Boss, let me tell you something." Nick said.

"What is it?"

Nick pulled out a small exquisite box from his pocket, with a Rolex label on it. "Boss, you pawned your watch to pay for my wife's medical treatment. Today, I went out and passed by a Rolex watch store. I saw a new model and bought one."

Hardy opened the box with some surprise, and inside lay an exquisite gold watch, which was slightly different from the ones Hardy robbed Cook from, but more beautiful.

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

Hadi thought for a moment, then looked up at Neil and said, "Thank you, Neil. I'll take the watch. By the way, how is your wife's illness?"

Neil laughed.

"She has improved a lot. The doctor gave her penicillin and other drugs. Now she rarely coughs at night and can basically lead a normal life. Dr. Murphy said that she only needs to be treated for another month, and then she can start conservative treatment."

“That’s great.”

......

The next day.

Hardy goes to the hospital to see Bill.

The guy recovered well and was able to get out of bed and move. Seeing Hardy coming over, he whispered, "I saw in the newspaper that the Spanish casino was robbed. It is said that the loss was more than 200,000 US dollars. Do you know who did it, Jon?"

"We did it," said Hardy.

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

"If I were fine, I could have made a fortune by following you guys. What a pity."

"Then get well soon and stop focusing on women. You've gained weight in these two months in the hospital," said Hardy.

"Hehehe~!" Bill could only smile foolishly.

To be honest,

Except for the beginning, he lived an extremely comfortable life in these two months.

After leaving Bill's ward, Hardy went to visit Neil's wife and gave her a bouquet of flowers. Jenny kept thanking Hardy.

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

It was afternoon.

Hardy put on his new clothes, shirt, tie, belt, leather shoes, and finally his coat, and stood in front of the mirror, looking handsome and strong.

In the evening,

I drove the new car to Marissa's house.

“Beep beep~!”

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

Soon a beautiful woman's face appeared in the window.

"Joan, I'll be right down."

The woman came downstairs in a dress and high heels. As soon as she came out, Hardy was dazzled.

"Marisa, you look so beautiful today."

The woman smiled sweetly at Hardy and said, "I started preparing this this morning."

The two got in the car and drove to Siegel's Beverly Estate. On the way, Marissa looked at Hardy and said, "Joan, I'm a little nervous."

Hardy reached out and stroked the woman's hair. "Don't be nervous. I believe you will be the most beautiful woman at the party."

The lights are just coming on.

There were many guests at Siegel Manor.

There were countless luxury cars parked in the courtyard, and men and women were dressed in gorgeous clothes.

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

The manor is decorated in an extremely luxurious way. In the middle there is a marble-carved pool with crystal blue water like a sapphire.

"It's a beautiful place, Jon," Marissa praised.

Walking into the villa lobby, it was decorated magnificently, and it was obvious that it had been redecorated in the past two days for the party.

There were a lot of people in the hall, gathering in twos or threes, some sitting or standing, chatting with glasses of wine, some dancing to the music, and both men and women had relaxed smiles on their faces.

This gorgeous scene reminded Hardy of a movie he had seen before.

The Great Gatsby.

In that movie, the protagonist played by Leonardo DiCaprio is a bootlegger who spends lavishly after becoming rich and blends into high society. He often holds high-end parties in his castle and invites some celebrities to come and have fun.

The banquet hosted by Siegel was of a higher standard than Leo's.

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

Siegel also saw Hardy and the others, and walked over with a smile after saying to his friends around him, "Hardy, welcome to my party."

"This is your female companion. What should I call her?" Siegel looked at Marissa and asked with a smile.

"Marisa," Hardy said.

Marissa bowed slightly to Siegel.

"Ms. Marissa is so beautiful." Siegel complimented her and turned to Hardy and said, "Bring your girlfriend and have fun. There are many Hollywood stars here. You can chat with them and make friends."

"Hardy, I'll come back to you later so we can have a private chat."

Hardy's heart moved. He had long felt that it would not be so easy for Siegel to let him attend the party.

"Yes, Mr. Siegel."

He brought Marissa to the dining table, picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Marissa, and took a glass for himself. Marissa suddenly pulled him.

Marissa put her red lips close to Hardy's ear and whispered, "Oh my God, Jon, guess who I saw?"

Although she tried to keep her voice as low as possible, she could still hear excitement and delight in her voice.

"who?"

"Clark Gable, Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind, he is my idol." Marissa was so excited that she was shaking as she held Hardy's hand.

Following Marissa's gaze, Hardy found the handsome middle-aged man with a signature mustache surrounded by a group of women. Now in his forties, Clark Gable is mature, elegant and confident. No wonder he has become the idol of thousands of women.

After a while, Marissa became excited again, "Joan, I saw Greer Garson. She starred in the movie "House of Cardinals" two years ago and won the Best Actress award. She was so beautiful and graceful." Marissa exclaimed.

"Wow, Jon, it's Gary Grant. He's here too. He was nominated for an Oscar before."

"Joan, look at the lady standing on the stairs chatting with someone. That's Olivia de Havilland, who played Melanie in Gone with the Wind and was nominated for the 12th Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress."

Marissa saw many big stars wherever she looked. This girl who was pursuing her Hollywood dream was very excited. Now she could only try her best to suppress herself from losing her composure.

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

In Hollywood, there is no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women. Every year, countless people come here to pursue their dreams, but only a very small number of them succeed. In addition to physical strength, a large part of this depends on luck.

Sometimes a person's luck is really important.

After playing in the lobby for a while and dancing a few times, a young man in a waiter's uniform came up to Hardy and said, "Mr. Hardy, Mr. Siegel invites you to the balcony on the second floor."

Hardy nodded.

"Marisa, play by yourself for a while, I'm going to meet Mr. Siegel." Hardy said.

"Well, go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."

Hardy came to the balcony on the second floor. Siegel stood beside the marble column on 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 a puff of cigar smoke, pointed at the manor and asked, "What do you think of this place?"

“Very luxurious.”

"Tell me the truth, do you like this kind of life?"

Hardy paused.

"like."

“Hahahaha~!”

Siegel laughed.

"No one dislikes this kind of life, but it requires money and strength to support it. Hadi, have you ever thought about being the boss yourself?"

Siegel looked Hardy in the eyes and asked.

Hardy looked into the distance and gave his answer with certainty.

"have!"

"Haha, OK, I like people who are courageous and have ideals."

Hardy looked at Siegel, "Mr. Siegel, I don't know what you mean by asking me these questions?"

"Haha, it's very simple. I want to find a suitable person to work for me. I think you are great!"

Sigurd said.
