America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 176 Conservative Lydia Hearst

【.Sorry, Abel. I lied to you, actually I didn’t study business, I studied art history in Boston~]

【.I had a Chinese meal in Boston today and to be honest it tasted a bit bad. I was later told that it was not authentic Chinese food. 】

【.Why don't you pay any attention to me? I sent you three text messages, and you just replied to one. 】

[~Abel, I will go back to New York tomorrow. How about we go have a meal? 】

【Abel..】

【.】

On and off, Amanda for more than half a month. .

I have sent about a hundred such text messages to Abel.

Some of Abel's responses were reasonable, and some of them had no reason at all.

The most recent one was that she said she knew Abel was in Los Angeles.

She happened to be coming here with her cousin for vacation, and hoped to see him on the west coast.

Abel didn't reply.

He felt that the eldest lady of the Hearst family seemed to have a tenacity in her body.

It was obvious that he had expressed his refusal.

Just didn't say it directly.

But she seemed not to see it, which made Abel think she was a little crazy.

Even thinking about her aunt, she was a very radical being.

He is the kind of progressive person who can use a gun to fight guerrillas in a place like the United States.

And in the United States, the Hearst family does have a bit of crazy potential to the outside world.

Amanda seems to understand that she would be like this. Damn it!

If she was even a little bit crazy.

Abel even felt that he should stay away from him.

You know, he wants to open a big swimming pool at home.

And then in this swimming pool, put a bunch of mermaid guys.

A person who is inspiring to be a pond owner and has never thought about getting married.

What this kind of person fears most is Amanda's madness.

It is not easy to use means to coerce and control the fish.

So far, the fish in his pond are better behaved than the last.

Even if there is some risk, it is kept within a controllable level.

He didn't want to bring in a slightly crazy Hearst's alligator gar just because he was in the fish pond.

So he scared away the fish that he had managed to raise in his fish pond.

Then the gain outweighs the loss.

He simply didn't answer the call from Amanda.

But Amanda really has a tenacity.

He didn't answer, so she kept hitting.

In the past, he would choose to answer out of desperation.

This time, looking at Hearst Castle in the distance, he simply turned off his phone.

He didn't believe that Amanda could continue to pester him like this.

And not long after he turned off his phone.

Behind Abel's motorcade, Hearst Castle gradually disappeared.

There is a certain area of ​​the castle that is not accessible to tourists and is guarded by private bodyguards.

After Amanda Hester called three times in a row, she got a message that the phone was turned off.

Amanda was so angry that she slammed the phone on the carpet.

She used so much strength, even with the protection and cushioning of the carpet.

The phone was still smashed into several pieces.

Sitting next to her was a man about the same age as her.

The delicate-looking blond girl squatted helplessly on the carpet and picked up Amanda's cell phone that had broken into pieces.

"Amanda, he's already like this. Why force it?"

Only half a year younger than Amanda.

Lydia Hester, who was also sixteen years old, said helplessly.

"You're only sixteen. It's not a good idea to find a boyfriend so early, right?"

"What's more, given your conditions, it's not difficult to find a satisfactory boyfriend or even a future husband."

"There's no need to keep pestering this Dixie guy, right?"

Hearing what her cousin said, Amanda said:

"Lydia, you don't know that feeling!"

"I really feel that he is my Mr. Right!"

"That's love! That's the love I want!"

Lydia Hester was helpless. She looked at her angry cousin with a nympho expression.

[What kind of Mr. Right? What kind of love? 】

[Not only is he handsome and tall, but his family background and ability are also very outstanding. 】

[Plus Aunt Anne and family support. 】

【Shit love! 】

Lydia feels that there is no love at all in this world.

Lydia herself doesn't believe in love at all.

Lidya knew very well that her cousin was a very serious appearance addict.

From a very young age, I have been clamoring to find a perfect and handsome husband.

Lydia Hester could understand that her cousin would like Abel.

Even with the most critical eye, Abel looked like an unmarried woman in his class.

It is also the best type of marriage candidate.

More importantly, what makes him so good.

The most important support does not come from his family.

But it comes from himself.

This is even more rare in their class.

This is already a generation!

Be the wife of the first generation, the mother of the second generation, and the matron of a new and powerful family.

Among women like them, it is definitely a dreamlike future.

Abel's qualifications.

in their circle.

It can no longer be described as rare.

Instead, it should be described as unique or unparalleled in the world.

To be honest, I met Abel’s Lydia Hearst once from afar.

The girl also had such a moment of infatuation.

But Lydia Hearst knew her own business.

Although they both belong to the same Hearst family, their mothers are still sisters.

But who told her mother that something like that had ever happened?

Lydia, who has experienced some ups and downs in human relationships since she was a child, understands.

Even though they are both Hearst, there is no comparison between me and my cousin.

This is not because of their personal reasons.

In terms of intelligence, appearance and figure, Lydia does not feel that she is inferior to her cousin.

Let her lose.

It comes from the complex, common understanding within the Hearst family and even among the wealthy circles of the United States.

Lydia Hester once complained deeply and was angry about this situation.

But none of this helps.

She can't change this.

She accepted her fate very early.

After that, she made herself as conservative as possible.

At least it looks conservative.

All this also makes her more precocious, much precocious than Amanda, who seems to be smart.

Lydia Hearst knew that she could not be as willful and unrestrained as Amanda.

Having a mother like that.

She must be conservative so that others won't look at her strangely.

"Okay."

While thinking about the different treatment between myself and my cousin in the family.

Lydia also had to comfort the angry Amanda.

"It's just that I can't make a call. Maybe the phone just ran out of battery?"

"It might be possible to get through later."

With her cousin's comfort, Amanda finally felt a little better.

This girl is more radical and crazy than the conservative-looking Lydia.

She suddenly stood up angrily.

"No," Amanda said to Lydia Hearst:

"I can't just give up! Hum, ever since I was a child, I have never been able to get anything I wanted!"

Lydia Hearst wanted to say.

Dear sister, your words are just like those words said by those stupid rich daughters in TV dramas.

But Lydia Hester said: "Then what do you want to do? You can't just take off your clothes and send them to his bed, right?"

"Forehead"

Lydia Hearst's rough and straightforward words made Amanda startled.

This girl with beautiful brown-green eyes actually nodded seriously to Lydia Hearst and said:

"Lidya, I have to say, your suggestion seems very good!"

Lydia: (°°)

"I just said it casually." Lydia Hester quickly redeemed herself:

"Amanda! You can't really do this."

"If you really do this and let Aunt Anne know about it, she will tear your skin off!"

More importantly, what if Amanda did.

Things have been leaked out, if it hasn't been successful yet.

Lydia Hearst thinks.

Himself and his mother who is under house arrest.

Life in a family will definitely be more difficult.

Lydia Hester now feels a little regretful, regretting what she said just now.

"What are you afraid of?"

Amanda disagreed.

"You don't know how much my mother wants me to be his girlfriend."

"I believe my mother will support me!"

Lydia Hearst thought Aunt Anne had your back.

That's if you can succeed.

If you don't succeed, Hearst will be embarrassed.

Look at Aunt Anne, will she still support you?

But Lydia Hester knew that her cousin was very smart many times.

I started playing tricks when I was very young.

But sometimes Amanda gets reckless.

Lydia felt that she would become more like her mother than herself.

Lydia Hester had a headache and began to regret what she had just said.

I even regretted why I came here with Amanda on vacation this time!

It just happened.

Lydia could only think of ways to dissuade and save her.

"Amanda. If you think Aunt Anne will support it, then you should too..."

Lydia Hearst didn't even finish her sentence.

He was interrupted by Amanda's actions.

She saw her cousin, turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

Lydia Hester quickly shouted: "What are you going to do? Amanda!"

"I'm going to Los Angeles!" Amanda walked out in a hurry without looking back.

"He's in Los Angeles. The paparazzi covered it a lot!"

"I don't believe it. I'm so beautiful. I cleaned myself up and sent it to his bed, but he's still not interested!"

"If he's not moved by that, then I'll admit it!"

Madfak!

Hearing Amanda's crazy words, Lydia couldn't help but curse in her heart.

She could only catch up quickly.

Lest Amanda get really hot-headed and do something that would embarrass the Hearst family.

It doesn't matter if you embarrass the Hearst family, the key is not to let the family blame you.

Lydia had no choice but to catch up, and tried her best to dissuade Amanda from going crazy.

At this time, Lydia felt.

This Amanda is more like her mother than herself!

Her mother's name is Patty Hearst.

She is Anne Hurst's sister and Amanda's aunt.

But dissuasion was of no use, and Amanda was really a little crazy when she became reckless.

Wait until Lydia Hearst starts to lose her temper.

The two cousins ​​were already on a private plane from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

On the other side, Abel returned to Los Angeles earlier than them.

It usually takes several hours to drive back to Los Angeles from San Francisco.

If you fly, one hour is enough.

So here in Los Angeles, it's just getting dark.

Abel is in the Intercontinental Hotel under Beverly Hills.

I saw Anne Hathaway being supported by Jin Na and moving in the restaurant on the fifth floor of the Intercontinental Hotel.

"Why are you down?"

Abel smiled and leaned forward, taking over Jinna's task.

It was up to him to support Annie, who had difficulty moving.

Yesterday noon to this morning.

One day and one night, because of his deliberate reasons.

Annie was really tortured and suffered a little injury.

Although it is just a matter of applying some anti-inflammatory drugs and taking some more anti-inflammatory drugs.

But I still feel a little stinging when I move around.

"I'm bored in the room. I want to come down and eat. My dear, I didn't expect you to come back~ I thought you wouldn't come back until tomorrow morning~"

When she met Abel, Annie's voice sounded a little squeaky.

Anne was also the sweetest voice among Abel's women.

Obviously she doesn't behave like this at all when she talks.

In parallel time and space, she was interviewed by the media.

Her voice and tone are even more like that of a silly elder sister.

Then again, this voice when she talks to Abel.

Her bodyguard, Jin Na, had already wanted to beat her several times in private.

Fortunately, Jin Na's professionalism was strong enough and she just held back.

"I'll come back when the matter is resolved." Abel smiled and helped her sit down on a dining table.

"Uh-huh~" Anne Hathaway half-leaned on Abel.

Her beautiful face was filled with a sweet smile at the moment.

While holding Annie, Abel thought for a while.

He said: "How about we go look at the house tomorrow?"

Anne was startled.

"Looking at a house? What house are you looking at?"

"Buy a house." Abel said matter-of-factly:

"I will come to the West Coast often in the future. If you continue to stay in Hollywood, you will come here often."

"We can't always stay in hotels. Buy a few properties here and we'll have somewhere to stay while we're here."

Abel actually already has a house here.

It was the mansion on DR Road in Ciello that Ikana went to last time.

The dreamy half-outdoor and half-indoor terrace there makes Ikana linger.

After Abel returned to New York.

She stayed there for several days.

Originally, Abel could have arranged for Anne to live there.

But he was afraid that if Ikana came over, he would bump into Annie directly in the mansion.

That would be embarrassing.

You must know Abel’s first commandment when raising fish.

Just don't let the fishes have contact in private, even if they meet.

He was worried that some bad chemistry would develop in his absence.

He doesn't want to go around saving people.

Basically, he would only bring one girl to each of his properties.

Except for the Isa babies.

They "talk" better, they are more satisfied, and they all know each other's existence.

This makes them have no scruples in this regard.

Abel thought that he would be more free this time.

Just buy some properties on the west coast.

Anyway, I will probably live on the east and west coasts for about the same amount of time in the future.

It is more convenient to buy a luxury house here, whether it is for your own enjoyment or for raising fish.

As for Annie, she heard Abel say that he wanted to buy a house here.

She immediately missed the super luxurious apartment above Fifth Avenue where she lived in New York.

It has been more than two months since she came to Los Angeles to film.

Either she would just stay in a hotel, or she would stay with the crew and live in the room the crew opened for her.

Sometimes when shooting is needed, I even rest directly in the RV.

There are no serious, good houses to live in.

Although five-star hotels like the InterContinental Hotel are actually very comfortable to stay in.

Not inferior to most luxury homes.

But staying in a hotel, after all, I lose a little sense of belonging to home.

When Abel said this, Anne immediately agreed.

"Ah, good." Annie said happily: "This way when I don't have to film, I don't have to stay in a hotel all day!"

In fact, Anne wanted to ask where the new house should be bought.

She thought it would be best to buy in Beverly Hills.

You know, that is Beverly Hills, the dream home that many girls who dream of becoming stars have dreamed of since childhood!

"Yeah." Abel smiled and nodded.

He plans to directly set up a real estate company later.

Then throw all the houses in New York and other houses under his name into this company.

In the future, when I really want to build my own office building in Manhattan.

It can also be managed by this real estate company.

In addition, Abel remembered that for a long time afterward.

Before the U.S. housing bubble burst in 2007.

Real estate across the United States is rising sharply.

During this period, it is completely possible to hoard land and build luxury houses all over the United States.

Then wait until before the U.S. real estate bubble in 2007 to sell them all.

Make a lot of money until the bubble and subprime mortgage crisis are over.

Then take advantage of the long period of slump in the real estate industry to buy back these properties.

Such a simple operation should yield several times the return.

The key is that you can use this name to blatantly build houses to raise fish.

Thinking like this, he felt that it was necessary to buy land and a house.

After dinner, the two returned to the room.

Anne was really scared.

She still has some pain and the swelling has not completely gone away.

"Honey"

In the room, she said pitifully: "Can I not practice yoga tonight? I'm so tired, I'm even injured from practicing."

As if she was afraid of Abel's rejection, she immediately added:

"If I don't do yoga tonight, I can play the harmonica for you!"

"Forget it. Your harmonica playing skills..." Abel complained.

Some things don't mean that your mouth looks big.

It can be done well.

Anne had little experience and he was her first boyfriend.

Her family background also left her with little exposure in this area.

Although Abel was physically powerful, he was still a mortal body.

If you are accidentally bitten, it will hurt.

"What should I do?"

Anne is pitiful.

She really doesn’t want to do yoga anymore.

Abel looked at her pitifully.

Abel wanted to let her go.

But then I thought that she was a fish in her own pond.

The one where I started to have random thoughts first.

The correction was timely, but it also made him a little unhappy.

Lessons must continue.

And no more yoga.

You can do it yourself,

Teach her to sing the song Empress Chen of the Southern China Dynasty,

That famous song and song he created!
