Chapter 26 Section 26

At the beginning of 1956, William III and the little brother James were also sent to Europe, and sent to the Ray Losey aristocratic boarding school in Belgium, because every day in the school in New York, children told them that some of the Oddwa family did not want them hear things.Prince Rainier of Morocco, the Duke of Kent of the United Kingdom, and Aga Khan IV have all studied at Ray Losey. In the same year, the Woodwards sold Standard National Bank and Bel-Air Estate. Time flies, and Jenny Odward lives in Europe like a year, often accompanied by alcohol and drugs.She has had several unsuccessful love affairs, all because she has been in the sea.Every once in a while, she has to go to Ray Losey School to wait hard, hoping to see the two children, but she has no choice but to take money from the Oddwa family, and the school has no control over it.

In the late 1960s, after graduating from high school, Jenny’s youngest son, James Woodward, joined the U.S. Army to fight in Vietnam with a good friend from Ray Losey School. Unfortunately, his friend was killed in battle. James had no hope of committing suicide by jumping off a building, and ended up dying for life. disabled. It was already 1972, and the old lady of the Odwa family was still alive and strong.Yan Ni disregarded her husband's family's ban and flew back to the United States from Spain to visit her son. Unexpectedly, James scolded her head and face: "Why did you kill your father?...Don't tell me it was an accident, it was 'manslaughter', you can hide it from others You can hide it from the jury, but you can't hide it from me!" He added: "This whole case was planned and carefully arranged by you, because you are afraid that your father will leave you, that your past scandals will be exposed, and that you will be brought to court for 'bigamy'. , isn't it?" It's all rumors that the young man heard from the social circle, "You cold-blooded woman, you cheap actor, get out! I don't want to see you again!"

According to the nurses, Mrs. Woodward ran out of her son's ward with tears streaming down her face. James Woodward had plenty of money, and soon he found a New York courtesan, Savila Holland, with his mutilated limbs.Savila's fame lies not only in her beauty and skill in bed, but also in her knowledge, ability to write, and ability to dance.Savila has written almost all the famous men in New York who she has had skin-to-skin contact with. There are more than one book, which are collectively called "Happy* Series".In her book "The Adventures of Savila" published in 1973, there is a chapter dedicated to James Woodward, titled "Don't jump off the building again, James".

When a friend asked about the details, James would say, "What she wrote is true," When Jenny Woodward returned to America from Europe, she was thrown into the abyss like a stone, stirring up old gossip and gossip that had already sunk into the abyss through people's tongues. Yanni's story soon attracted Truman Capote, a well-known writer who was in high society all over the United States.Truman has published many novels, dramas, documentary literature, etc., and his works have been adapted into movies and TV series many times. Some people call him "the most talented writer in the 20th century in the United States".

Truman spent two years rummaging through the "New York Times", police records, and private detective work notes from 20 years ago, and visited the still living Princess Molina Toronia and Sally Livingston, etc. Add some gossips of the ladies of New York and your own imagination to write the novel "Answer to Prayer".The heroine based on Jenny Wardwah was a prostitute when she was young, she was the mistress of a gang leader, and she cheated a marriage contract with a fake pregnancy, but she was suddenly married by her ex-husband, a Detroit police detective, who never divorced. Appeared but was forced to shoot her husband to death under the night.

When Yanni heard about this book, she ran around desperately, tempted it with emotion, lured it for profit, and tried her best to prevent the publishers from publishing it.But Yanni blocked her, and Truman persuaded her. At the end of September 1975, Yanni received a call from a friend in the publishing industry. "Have you heard?" "No." "Truman Capote has signed on to Esquire Magazine for a series of Answers to Prayer starting in November..." "My God!" "Not the whole book, just excerpts..." At that time, "Answers to Prayer" was not yet finished.
