The Tyrant Billionaire

Chapter 36: Ava Gardner

After class, Marissa walked out of the classroom with her friends Cheryl and Evie. Cheryl's sharp eyes saw a beautiful luxury car parked across the road.

The dark blue body and white roof have an elegant and majestic shape, and the car logo is a swan with spread wings.

"Wow, look, that car is a Packard." Cheryl shouted softly.

Evie also saw the Packard car, her eyes lit up, and she said, "This car is so beautiful, it costs no less than 10 000$."

Seeing the Packard in this era is like seeing the luxurious Bentley and Rolls Royce in later generations.

Just as the two were praising the car, the door opened, and a man in a crisp suit got out of the car. The two women noticed that the man was well dressed, handsome, and had a gold watch in his hand, the two women's eyes suddenly gleamed.

Is he here to find a female companion? The two of them straightened their bodies unconsciously with sweet smiles on their faces, making themselves look more beautiful.

But they had a feeling, that this man seems kinda familiar.

"Marissa."

Hardy called softly.

"Jon~~" Marissa waved to Hardy happily.

She said to the two girls beside her "My friend is here to pick me up. I'm leaving first. By the way, Christmas Eve is tonight and Christmas tomorrow. I wish you a Christmas Eve and a Merry Christmas in advance."

After that, she trotted across the road.

As soon as she ran to the car, Hardy took out his hand from behind, holding a bouquet of beautiful roses.

"This is for you."

"It's so beautiful." Marissa took the flower and kissed Hardy on the face.

The two got in the car, and the Packard car started off and left, leaving two girls looking at each other on the side of the road.

"That person is Marissa's friend." Evie asked in surprise.

"I remembered that it was the man who drove a Ford to pick up Marissa a few days ago. It turned out that he was so rich."

Cheryl finally remembered who Hardy was.

They seemed to have discussed at the beginning that Marissa was wasting her time by hanging out with a man like that.

"Have you seen his clothes? They should be 'Brooks Brothers'. The car he drives is a Packard. The gold watch on his wrist is definitely a Rolex. This outfit can buy a luxury apartment in Los Angeles." Evie said it with an envious tone.

Cheryl pouted, "Who knows if it was rented?"

This sentence is so sour.

jealous? envious? There should be both.

Why not Herself?

Hardy and Marissa had dinner at an Italian restaurant.

Went shopping and looked at the lights.

they went to the cinema to watch another movie, the classic movie "Casablanca," which was released in 1942 and won an Oscar in 1944.

Hardy had to admit that Ingrid Bergman is really beautiful in the movie.

She seems to be just 30 years old this year.

After watching the movie, the two drove home, came to the living room, and Marissa sat down with Hardy, poured him another glass of cherry wine, and turned on the music.

Smiling charmingly at Hardy: "I've prepared a gift for you. I'll go to the room to get it for you. Don't come in and peek."

Hardy nodded with a smile.

When Marissa entered the room, Hardy took out a portfolio from his pocket, and he also prepared a gift for Marissa.

Sat comfortably on the sofa, listen to music and drinking, not a long time after.

The bedroom door opened slightly with a crack.

A long, slender, straight leg stretched out from the crack in the door, wearing lace stockings and high heels, dancing to the music.

These legs are enough to play for a year, the door is ajar.

Marissa was wearing a beautiful halter top. She lay by the door and gave Hardy a charming smile. "I bought a few clothes specially for you to tear off at night."

She walked up to Hardy with model steps, sitting on the man's lap. "Hardy, do you like this gift?"

"Yes i love it. Marissa, I have prepared a gift for you too."

"What is it?"

Marissa asked happily.

Hardy picked up the portfolio from the table next to him and handed it to the woman. The woman looked at Hardy in surprise and gently opened the portfolio.

When she pulled out the contract and read the contents clearly, her face was full of shock.

"Jon, this is my financial contract; is it true?!"

Marissa asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's true. I've bought your financial contract. Now that Sanders can no longer control you,

"This contract is with me now. When Christmas is over, I will accompany you to cancel the original contract. From now on, you will be completely free."

"This is my Christmas gift to you. How do you like it?""

Marissa became more and more excited as she listened. Her eyes turned red at the end, and she hugged the Contract hard, and her tears rolled down uncontrollably.

Eventually, it turned into a whimper.

Lying on Hardy's shoulder, she cried happily.

The previous experience was a nightmare for her, making her live in fear. Hardy taking back her agency contract was like a prince slaying the dragon and lifting her out of the abyss.

Marissa hugged Hardy forcefully and kissed him deeply.

After a long time,

The two separated.

The melancholy disappeared from Marissa's face and she looked radiant.

She looked at her contract again.

"Jon, I can act and sing again in the future, right?" Marissa asked excitedly while holding Hardy.

"Of course."

"Remember what I told you last time? I am now an assistant at the 'Noah's Ark' film company. After you regain your freedom, you can sign a contract with Noah's Ark. There will be many acting opportunities in the future." Hardy said.

Marissa was jumping on Hardy's lap with excitement.

Suddenly, she remembered something.

"Hardy, I have an idea, I want to change my name, when I was studying acting, the teacher told us that actors need to have a more recognizable name."

"Marissa is a name that is too common, In our village, there were three girls named Marissa, and the teacher suggested that I change my name when I debuted. I also wanted to change it and say goodbye to my old self.

"Have you ever thought about your new name?" Hardy asked with a smile.

"What do you think of the name Ava? My surname is Gardner. Do you think the name Ava Gardner sounds good?" Marissa asked with a smile.

Hardy was stunned.

He looked at Marissa with a surprised look on his face.

He never expected that the girl in his arms would turn out to be Ava Gardner.

"What's wrong, Jon? You don't like this name?" Marissa asked, looking at the stunned Hardy.

"Oh no, that's a very good name."

Marissa laughed,

"Since you think it's good too, I'll be called Ava Gardner from now on." Marissa made her decision.

"Remember, call me Ava from now on."

the woman said, stroking Hardy's cheek.

"Okay Ava~"

If he remembers correctly, Ava Gardner is the 25th "Greatest Actress of the Century" selected by the American Film Institute.

The third place is Audrey Hepburn, the fourth place is Ingrid Bergman, the sixth place is Marilyn Monroe, the seventh place is Elizabeth Taylor, and the 16th place is Vivien Leigh.

In the late 1940s, Ava Gardner gradually came to prominence and was hailed as a new generation of Hollywood queen, she was charming in every gesture and became one of the most sought after actresses in Hollywood.

Later films were nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, and she received a hand print on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

It was not until the mid 1950s that she was replaced by Marilyn Monroe.

But with Marissa in his arms, no, should be called Ava Gardner now. Is it the same Ava Gardner?

The time and space he traveled through didn't seem to be any historical time and space at all, and many things were specious and even Hardy couldn't understand.

Ava Gardner looked at the handsome man, lay down, and whispered in the man's ear, "Hardy, aren't you going to open and take a look at your gift?"

Her voice was delicate and seductive!

Hardy picked up the woman and stood up, walking towards the bedroom.

What a wonderful Christmas Eve tonight!
