America's Road to Wealth

This is what people say.

If you refuse again, you will be offended.

Abel could only smile and said: "Okay~ Then I have to trouble Miss Hester."

"Just call me Amanda." Amanda said happily: "In the company, you always call me by my name!"

Can that be compared?

But Abel still changed his words: "Okay, Amanda, no problem Amanda."

"Ah~" At this time, Amanda's mother Anne Hurst suddenly said:

"Michael, York is over there. I want to go over and have a chat with him. Do you want to come with me?"

"Okay." Bloomberg immediately smiled and walked to Anne.

Anne gracefully reached out and took Bloomberg's arm, and the two of them walked in the other direction.

At the same time, Pierre Carter and his wife soon left.

Abel and Amanda Hurst were the only ones left in the same place.

Abel couldn't help but scratch his head.

It’s all here.

He still couldn't see that Anne Hurst was really an idiot if she had any ideas.

But to be honest, a well-established and well-established daughter of a wealthy family like Amanda Hearst.

Abel didn't want to mess with him.

He is different from the nouveau riche like Ikana's old father.

The Hearst family has been in business for nearly a hundred years.

He still works in the media industry with a very broad network of contacts, and has been on Wall Street for decades.

Although it is not as good as the top teams in the country such as MG and LKFL.

But within the United States, it is also considered one of the top wealthy families.

Provoking a girl from such a family can easily lead to a lot of trouble.

This is different from Ikana, whose family is in a parallel time and space, before her father became successful.

It feels like the shame of American rich people

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been laughed at by Lao Donkey in public at the banquet, and would have been embarrassed in front of hundreds of people.

In other words, according to the trajectory in parallel space and time.

Ikana's family still has about ten years before it becomes great.

Abel had faith.

By that time, he will be more influential in this country than King Maga.

He dared to provoke Ikana because he was confident of suppressing the possible influence from her father.

If she were the daughter of another established wealthy family, the situation of Amanda in front of her would be different.

This is why he is particularly willing to develop his Hollywood power.

The girls in Hollywood are more beautiful and have better figures than the rich girls.

More importantly, he is very obedient and speaks nicely.

The holding cost can be said to be several times lower than that of these wealthy daughters.

The only thing to worry about is wearing a hat.

Deterrence can also be through agreements, contracts, etc.

There are also arrangements for surveillance by a team of bodyguards, assistants, etc., so as to avoid this as much as possible.

Even if it cannot really be avoided, there are various means of punishment.

If you are unhappy, it is not impossible for you to even disappear from your plaything.

Because they have no legs.

Anyone with a foothold would not go to Hollywood.

Compared to these more "cheap" and well-behaved Hollywood girls.

Rich and wealthy girls were in Abel's eyes.

Apart from the little halo and status bonus, it can't be said to be useless.

That's also not very attractive.

Except for the daughter of a pseudo-rich family like Ikana.

He doesn't have much to do with the real rich and powerful.

If not for this concern.

With this guy's bad character.

He could kill sixteen-year-old Karolina Korkova.

How could he let go of Amanda Hearst, who was about the same age?

What made him a little indifferent was mostly due to Amanda's last name.

The main reason is that the possible costs are too high and there will be a lot of trouble involved.

He simply wouldn't come.

Unless the other party takes the initiative and does not require him to be responsible, it will not cause him too much trouble in this circle!

Amanda clearly doesn't fit the bill.

She seemed proactive now because she didn't know Abel's idea yet.

If only after knowing that Abel had such bad demands, he would still work tirelessly.

That would prove that she barely complies.

But under the current circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Abel to refuse the closeness of a little girl.

He could only face the enthusiastic sixteen-year-old girl with a non-active attitude.

And Amanda Hurst is really proactive

In fact, the two of them are not that familiar.

But now she was holding his hand and half leaning against him.

What else could Abel do? Of course it was up to her.

As the daughter of the Hearst family, one of the traditional wealthy families.

Amanda was familiar with the identities of today's guests.

She could name many characters that Abel didn't know.

"You are from the south, and the people you knew before may be over there in the south."

"When I came to New York, I heard that you weren't keen on attending cocktail parties like this before."

"Then you should be unfamiliar with these people."

"This is not very good for you. Let me introduce it to you?"

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Abel to agree.

She quietly held one of Abel's hands and quietly pointed at the guests at the reception one after another, introducing their identities to Abel.

"The guy over there, with the white hair, is the president of GE. Oh, he's often in the newspapers, you should have seen him."

"The one on the left, yes, the one with blond hair, his name is Jock Burke. He himself has average abilities, but his father, Richard Burke, created United Health Group!"

"The guy in the blue suit is Jim Sinegal. He's the founder of Costco."

"."

Amanda's voice is very nice, and her tone of voice is neither slow nor slow.

Abel also smelled a nice scent on her, similar to jasmine and a bit like lily.

It probably smells like some kind of high-end perfume.

Speaking of which, she introduced these people to Abel.

Many of Abel have seen it in the business materials submitted by David Mellon.

Some of them have been seen in the media and newspapers.

But in reality, it was the first time for him to meet most of these people in person.

Without Amanda's guidance, he probably wouldn't have been able to recognize who was who for a while.

This young girl is able to know these people very well.

It is probably also related to her family background and the fact that the main field of her family's business is the media.

But it also shows that she is very good at memory.

"Oh~ look over there." Amanda pointed to the left front, about twenty or thirty meters away, where three or four young women were gathered together.

"The one with the golden hairpin is Catherine Morgenthal. She is the daughter of Johnson Morgenthal. Well, she is the granddaughter of Robert Morgenthal's brother."

"You are cousins ​​with Peggy Morgenthau, who has had scandals with you in the media."

"Next to her."

"Hey~ why did you come here?"

Amanda's voice fell silent.

Catherine Morgenthau, who was being named by her, was walking towards the direction of the two of them.

In addition, without Amanda’s reminder, Abel also recognized the identity of one of the girls around Catherine.

It was Paris Hilton, the eldest Hilton lady whom Abel had never been cold to, following Paige's cousins.

"I came to see you." Abel thought he came to see Amanda. After all, they should be in the same circle.

Amanda shook her head and said softly: "But I'm not familiar with them. They are much older than me."

Abel replied: "Then I don't know. You can't come here to find me, right?"

It turned out that they really seemed to have come to find him.

Catherine Morgenthau, Paris Hilton, and two other girls came to the two of them.

Obviously coming here for Abel or Amanda.

"Hello, Mr. Smith. I'm Catherine Morgenthau."

Katherine Morgenthau, who looked good, had a good figure, and had blond hair, came to Abel and extended her hand to him generously.

Abel didn't hesitate, he smiled and shook her hand.

"Hello, Miss Morgenthau. My name is Abel Smith."

Catherine smiled and continued.

"Mr. Smith, I heard that you and my cousin Peggy are lovers and friends?"

"So why is your female companion today Amanda? Why isn't Paige by your side?"

Facing Catherine's question, Abel was a little surprised.

Is this seeking justice for her cousins?

Before he could answer, Amanda beside him spoke.

"Catherine, that's just a misinformation in the newspaper." Amanda said clearly with a bright and clear voice:

"The media likes to report like this because it can attract attention and create sales and ratings. This is what our family does, and I am very familiar with it."

Amanda's response seemed to surprise Catherine a little.

This pretty woman looked at Amanda and then at Abel with her beautiful eyes.

"Okay." Catherine Morgenthau smiled: "Amanda, it seems you are right to say that. But now it seems to me that your relationship with Mr. Smith is quite close."

"hehe."

Amanda Hurst, who doesn't seem to be petty at all, actually said to four people in her circle like this:

"Catherine, you are right. Yes, Abel and I have a good relationship. Besides, I have a crush on him. Do you understand what I say?"

"Forehead"

There was a hint of sarcasm in the words, which was somewhat aimed at Katherine, who meant Amanda.

When I met Amanda, she expressed it so directly and clearly.

Catherine looked like she didn't know how to respond.

"Amanda! You are only sixteen years old, and you haven't even graduated from college." At this time, Paris Hilton, who was behind Catherine, spoke.

"It's not good to be like this at such a young age, isn't it?"

If Paris had dared to say this a year or two later, she might have been ridiculed to the sky.

But now Paris has indeed not started to enter the entertainment industry, and has not started that kind of dissolute career.

Her reputation in the outside world is not bad, and her appearance and dress at this time are that of a good girl.

Saying such words at this time will not seem abrupt.

"Why is it bad? I will grow up eventually. I have a crush on Abel, so I will tell you straight away. What's wrong with this?"

Amanda, however, was very direct and responded the same as she had just responded to Catherine.

"Forehead"

This time it was Paris' turn to be speechless.

"Mr. Smith, what do you mean? Miss Hester, all I have to do now is confess my love to you directly."

Catherine Morgenthau, who watched the conversation between Paris and Amanda, suddenly targeted Abel.

Abel was stunned. He actually didn't expect Amanda to be so direct.

Just like Catherine said.

By doing this, Amanda just had to confess to herself.

But what is the difference between doing this and confessing?

Abel also didn't expect that Amanda would be so direct and "brave".

At this moment, he felt that he didn't care how he answered.

None of them seem to be very good.

When he was in a dilemma, a delicate voice sounded.

"Ha~ Hello everyone, I see your atmosphere is very friendly. I don't know what you are talking about. Do you mind if Paige and I join in?"

It's Anna Morgenthau.

I saw the girl holding the hand of her cousin Peggy Hearst and walking over charmingly.

"Anna, we are chatting with Mr. Smith." Catherine said: "It's not good for you to insert like this, right?"

"What's not so good?" Anna Hester didn't seem to see it at all, and Catherine had a somewhat unpleasant expression on her face.

This little sister Morgenthau, who is about the same age as Amanda, smiled and said:

"Among all of you, the one who has the closest relationship with Mr. Smith is probably Peggy, right? In the newspaper, they are a couple!"

"Uh" Catherine was a little speechless.

The main reason is that she is a little timid towards Paige.

The genius girl was looking at them with a calm expression.

And Catherine knew the importance and status Peggy received in the family.

Far more than the same generation, within the same generation.

Regardless of whether she is a man or a woman, Peggy is the most trusted and favored one.

Even Catherine's own grandfather, Robert's brother, was the same.

Catherine is not afraid of Anna, but Catherine has to worry about Peggy's attitude.

At this time, Abel, who couldn't stand this little girl's Shura field, finally took the initiative.

Under the gaze of five or six girls, he broke away from Amanda's arm.

He walked up to Peggy Morgenthau with a smile, and with her somewhat surprised and slightly panicked expression, he directly grabbed her hand and held it.

"Ah, Peggy. You finally came in. I've been looking for you for a long time. Come on, how about taking me around your house."

He ignored the surprised expressions of the girls and continued with a smile:

"This is something you promised me when you were in Los Angeles."

Peggy Morgenthau was a little panicked. She was stunned and whispered: "I didn't."

Before she could say anything, she was taken away by Abel.

The other girls behind him saw Abel talking and laughing.

He took Peggy Morgenthau's hand and left the small circle.

A few seconds later, the small circle was in a state of shock.

Anna Morgenthau was the first to speak. She smiled and said:

"Oh haha~ It seems that what was reported in the newspaper may or may not be true."

"You think so? Miss Hester?" Anna said to Amanda in the latter sentence.

The expression on Amanda's face at this moment was obviously very unhappy.

Then Anna added: "By the way. Dear Catherine, I remember that your relationship with Miss Hester and Miss Hilton has always been very good, right?"

"But when we walked over just now, why did it seem like there was a little conflict when I saw you two?"

"For what reason?"

"Let me tell you, good friends shouldn't quarrel casually. Do you think I'm right?"

When talking about the latter part, Anna Morgenthau's little tone was already full of ridicule.

Those beautiful eyes also moved around Amanda, Catherine, and Paris.

Catherine opened her mouth to speak, but heard Amanda speak first.

"Miss Anna, I don't know what you mean. But you are right, good friends should not fall out."

Amanda Hester said with a smile: "My relationship with Catherine and Paris is now on good terms again. We are going to talk about some good friends. Do you want to join us?"

Anna took a deep look at her peers, and finally a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

Then he turned around and left coolly, leaving behind a sentence: "Sorry, I won't bother you."

In the small circle, only Amanda, Catherine and others who had been "tit-for-tat" just now were left.

"Bichi!"

As soon as Anna left, it was Catherine who spoke first.

I saw her looking at the back of her little cousin and uttering not very good words.

Paris also looked at Amanda, changing her sharp tone just now:

"Amanda, your plan doesn't seem to work that well."

"That's not necessarily the case." Amanda whispered: "If it doesn't work this time, it may not work next time. Let's do this for the time being. I'll go find my mother first and look for opportunities later. By the way, I'll contact you later. you."

Paris wanted to say something else, but Catherine nodded and said:

"Okay. That's it. I don't know what's good about that Smith. He's just a bit more handsome. But he's a Dixie and a Southerner. I don't know what you think, Amanda."

Amanda smiled and shook her head and walked away, and Catherine stopped talking.

She turned to her little sister and said softly to Paris and others: "To be honest, I really don't know what Amanda thinks. Although that Smith is indeed a bit more handsome and seems to be very rich. But no matter how rich he is, , he’s just a Dixie!!”

Paris nodded, but then she thought about it and thought——

In addition to being extremely handsome and tall, this Smith seems to be extremely rich and able to make money.

Even his grandfather, Barry Hilton, has secretly hinted to himself many times to let him take the initiative to contact the other party.

Thinking like this, Paris Hilton's eyes were subconsciously looking for Abel's figure.

This allowed her to see Abel holding Peggy Morgenthau's hand.

He actually walked towards the most central and most eye-catching circle in today's cocktail party.

"Look over there, Catherine," Paris said.

Catherine and the other two followers looked over.

They saw the circle with the two heads of LKFL and MG.

Peggy's grandfather, Robert, waved to the two of them to let them pass.

And Abel and Peggy Morgenthau really walked over.

Catherine suddenly became interested, and she couldn't help but whispered:

"Grandpa Robert dotes on Peggy too much! Let her go to such an occasion? And bring that little Dixie with you? This is a bit too much!"

Whether it is the Morgenthau family themselves or the wealthy circles on the east coast.

Robert's doting on Peggy Morgenthal, his talented granddaughter, is well known.

At this moment, Catherine thought that Robert, for Peggy's sake, also called Abel, who was somewhat involved with Peggy.

And that circle was one that even Catherine's father and Paige's father were not qualified to enter.

Next to him, he listened to Catherine's words.

Paris felt vaguely.

Maybe it wasn't because of Peggy that Abel could get into that circle.

On the contrary, it may be

Because of Abel, Paige went to that circle.
