Dalton Middle School on 89th Street on the Upper East Side, Manhattan.

At the end of the last class in the afternoon, Ray Split had just gotten up with his schoolbag when a black-haired boy in a baseball shirt chased after him, grabbed Ray's shoulders and whispered, "Man, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Ray glanced at his friend Gerard Hawley, "What?"

"It's my cousin's birthday on Saturday, and when the time comes, can you invite a few models over? ”

Hearing this, Lei unceremoniously gave his friend an elbow blow and refused: "Jerry, I've said many times, don't pay attention to this, and I can't do it, my mother will be mad if she knows." ”

The black-haired boy didn't give up easily, and pleaded: "Ray, please, I've already promised my cousin that if I can't do it, my credit will collapse." ”

The two of them said that they had come to the locker in the corridor outside the classroom, Lei opened his cabinet to sort out some trivial things, and his tone relaxed a little when he heard the words, after all, this is the best friend he has made in the past two years, but he continued: "My mother will really be mad, she doesn't allow me to touch the Elite thing." ”

Seeing that Ray's tone was no longer so firm, Gerald felt that there was a door, so he leaned over and lowered his voice: "Please, Ray, I can pay." ”

Rayton frowned again: "Hey, I'm not a pimp. ”

Gerald realized that he had lost his words, and quickly turned around: "Sorry, Ray, we don't talk about money, just help." ”

The two teenagers whispered, and a tall blonde girl on the other side of the corridor walked over, just in time to hear Ray's slightly louder voice, and subconsciously asked in a distinctly British accent, "What pimp?"

When Gerald saw that it was Ray's girlfriend Victoria Wilkinson, he let go of his best friend's shoulders and praised him with a smile: "Vicky, this trench coat of yours is so beautiful." ”

Victoria was wearing a short orange trench coat in bright colors, which belonged to Burberry's latest style, and when Gerard said this, the girl was not diverted from the subject, gave him a blank look, and asked, "What pimp?"

Gerald grinned and didn't answer, just turned back to Ray, folded his arms ninety degrees in front of his chest and bowed, "Please, man, 18th birthday, coming-of-age ceremony, only once in a lifetime." ”

After speaking, he took a few steps back and flashed decisively.

Ray packed his backpack and put it on his body, saw Gerald's figure disappear, and walked out with the woman, while answering his girlfriend who was still looking puzzled: "Jerry's cousin is 18 years old, let me help invite some models to join the show." ”

When Victoria heard this, her eyes immediately widened: "Don't do this." ”

Ray shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course I won't do this, and I can't do it." ”

Victoria nodded her head in satisfaction, followed her boyfriend down the stairs, and couldn't help but ask, "Ray, are you, well, often seeing those supermodels?"

Lei shook his head: "It's rare, my mother didn't allow me to contact that circle with my sister, my sister used to want to work as a model part-time to earn some pocket money, but my mother refused." ”

Victoria snorted, satisfied again, but turned around her boyfriend when she passed by the corner landing of the stairs, tentatively curious: "Hey, do you think I can be a model?"

Lei glanced at his girlfriend, who was only about 1.65 meters tall, and did not hit him directly, but said: "Models are not so easy to be, just like the past fashion week, some models even have to work 20 hours a day." ”

Victoria looked incredulous: "20 hours, how is it possible, it's only 24 hours a day." ”

"So, you can't be a supermodel if you're a model. ”

Victoria is not convinced: "I just think it's incredible that I can work 20 hours a day if I need to. ”

The boy and the girl said, and they had come downstairs.

As a top private school in Manhattan where the children of the powerful are gathered, Dalton Middle School often has luxury cars coming to pick up and drop off when school is out, of course, not all, and not all of them are a matter of money, some people like to keep a low profile, some people want their children to do it alone, in short, there are only a few pick-ups.

Ray and Victoria are both the ones who need to go home on their own, and they are about to pick up their bikes when they see Ray's sister Rita Sprout trotting over.

Looking at Rita Spurt, who was just wearing a small jacket and jeans, Victoria subconsciously pulled her Burberry trench coat and couldn't hide her inferiority in front of Rita. Born in a wealthy family, Victoria is actually very beautiful, but the girl in front of her is the girl of the year in Dalton Middle School in the past two years, not only has excellent academic performance, but also is an active member of many clubs in the school, and has a rather outstanding boyfriend.

Even if the students at Dalton Middle School are not from bad backgrounds, it is inevitable that Rita Spurt is the real winner in life.

Rita didn't seem to notice Victoria's hesitation and inferiority, smiled and greeted her, and then looked at her brother: "Mom is waiting for us outside, let's go quickly." ”

When Lei Wenyan heard this, he was suddenly a little surprised and apprehensive, and then subconsciously grabbed his girlfriend's arm and followed out, while asking, "What's wrong?"

In fact, the already somewhat precocious sister and brother have long noticed the difference between their parents, and their parents divorced some time ago, and they even took it for granted, and this kind of thing has not happened around it. It's just that the sister and brother noticed at the same time that behind the whole thing, it seems that it is not as simple as the disharmony between their parents, they must have something to hide from the two of them.

Now, with his mother, who had rarely come to pick him up in the past, suddenly appeared, Ray was keenly aware that something was likely to happen today.

Rita just shook her head when she heard her brother ask.

The two left the school gate, and soon saw their mother standing next to a black car on the side of the street, and when they appeared, they smiled and nodded in greeting.

When he got closer, Ray, who was still holding Victoria, who was getting more and more cramped because of seeing Ray's mother, couldn't wait to ask, "Mom, why did you come here suddenly?"

Grace didn't answer, but looked at the girl next to her son: "Who is this?"

Ray then remembered, suddenly a little embarrassed, and introduced: "Mom, this is Vicky." ”

Victoria graciously offered to extend her hand to Grace: "Hello, Ms. Spurt, I'm Victoria Wilkinson. ”

Grace smiled and shook the girl's hand and said, "Hello, Vicky, I'm Rita and Ray's mom, you can call me Grey." By the way, your Burberry trench coat is so beautiful. ”

"Thank you. ”

Victoria said and shrunk her neck slightly, her face was slightly red, and she was a little curious about why Lei's mother could recognize the brand of her trench coat at a glance, but she quickly reacted, this lady is the head of the world's largest modeling agency, Elite, and knows these things for granted.

Grace didn't seem to be in a hurry, looked at the girl in front of her, and said, "Vicky, are you from England?"

"Yes," the girl nodded, "I grew up in England, and my father came to the United States this year to take care of the family's business here, so I transferred to this school." ”

After Victoria said this, seeing that Lei's mother's smile remained unchanged, she was inexplicably a little apprehensive, she had just deliberately revealed some of her family history, mainly because in front of this lady whose temperament was no less than Rita's, the girl felt more weak than when she faced Sister Lei.

Once people have a weak heart, they will inevitably want to find some support for themselves.

Grace naturally easily sensed the girl's thoughts, did not continue to say anything, chatted briefly, looked at her watch, and said to the girl: "We are leaving, Vicky, where do you live, I can send you home by the way." ”

Victoria glanced at the black Mercedes-Benz luxury car on the side of the road and the two girls in uniform with a very special temperament who got off the station at some point, and shook her head: "No, Si...... Grey, my house is on 83rd Street, it's very close. ”

The main reason is that although this car looks very special, it shouldn't fit them.

Grace noticed the girl's gaze, also reacted, smiled, and motioned to a girl behind her, who pressed the headset and said a few words, and soon another identical black car slowly drove over from not far away.

"Ray, you take Vicky in the back car, take her home first, and then the driver will take you to us. ”

Without explaining too much, he motioned for his daughter Rita to get in the car with him.

When the uniform girl helped to open the car door, she found some details on the door, Victoria was slightly enlarged, just looking at the door that was more than ten centimeters thick, this is obviously not an ordinary Mercedes-Benz, but a bulletproof Mercedes-Benz, and it is not even an ordinary bulletproof Mercedes-Benz, but a bulletproof Mercedes-Benz that many executives and even heads of state can afford to sit on.

Even though the Wilkinson family has assets in the hundreds of millions of pounds and their grandparents have a collection of bulletproof cars, Victoria has never seen a car of this class.

Seeing that the car in front left first, the car behind stopped in front of the teenager and girl, and it was two girls in uniform who came forward to help them open the car door, Victoria came back to her senses, pulled her boyfriend, who was also in a daze, and got into the car together.

Waiting for the car to start, Victoria and the front row said the address of their home, and then looked left and right slightly, tentatively found a button to press, the block between the front and rear seats rose silently, the girl asked her boyfriend who obviously did not react this time: "Lei, this car belongs to your family?"

Ray shook his head, his eyes flickering slightly.

Lei, who is only one year younger than his sister, is 17 years old this year, not only has he grown to a height of 1.8 meters, but he has also inherited his parents' good appearance genes, which is why after breaking up with his last girlfriend, he found a girlfriend like Victoria not long after school started this year.

On the other hand, a boy who is also precocious is also a precocious boy, and he already knows about certain things.

What's more, Ray has not only heard a lot of rumors about Simon Westeros, but even attended a party hosted by Simon Westeros at his estate in the northern suburbs of Greenwich two years ago.

All in all, in connection with the various events of the last two years, coupled with the divorce of his parents some time ago, and today's these, even if he is unwilling to admit it, Ray quickly sensed the ins and outs of the matter.

All of this, obviously, is probably because of Simon Westeros.

And his own mother......

Thinking of this, I was a little distressed.

If, if he can find a stepfather like Simon Westeros for their siblings at the moment, he has no objection, but it can't really be Simon Westeros.

Sensing that her boyfriend was obviously worried and seemed to be distressed, Victoria soon stopped asking.

The limousine dropped off Victoria in front of a villa on 83rd Street, then navigated the streets of Manhattan for a moment, and soon arrived at a helipad on the banks of the River East, where the Upper East Side meets Midtown.

Grace and Rita had arrived early.

After Lei got out of the car, he saw the huge black helicopter on the tarmac at a glance, and immediately confirmed his guess.

This kind of Black Hawk helicopter, which is also a custom like a Mercedes-Benz sedan, is owned only by Simon Westeros in the whole of Manhattan. Ray also privately heard some of Dalton's classmates talk about it, and there are also rich people who want to customize this helicopter, but when they heard the price of $35 million, they immediately dismissed the idea, because the money is enough to buy 10 ordinary similar helicopters.

And, even if you can afford it, the millions of dollars a year in maintenance costs are prohibitive. On the contrary, some people bought a similar model of ordinary civilian Black Hawk, painted black to imitate the trend, the appearance seems to be similar, but the inside is very different, and the price is only seven or eight million dollars.

When Grace saw her son's appearance after getting out of the car, she understood that he had probably guessed something, and stepped forward to hug her son, and pulled him into the helicopter with her daughter, who had just talked a little along the way.

Waiting for the black custom black eagle to leave the ground, Grace, who was still holding her son's big hand next to her, still didn't explain her son's confusion, but first mentioned other topics: "Rita just told me, that Victoria, her father is Derek Wilkinson, heh, speaking of which, I ...... and your dad, and I've seen each other on some social occasions. The Wilkinson family is still an old aristocratic family in the UK, and I can't imagine that our family Lei can still have a daughter. ”

Although Grace said this, her tone seemed very indifferent. If it was before, the couple would have been just professional managers after all, and they really had no advantage in front of these old money aristocrats.

It's not the same now.

Just thinking of a certain man, any other wealth and power in this world is like a floating cloud to Grace.

Most importantly, now, Grace couldn't help but reach out to her lower abdomen with her other hand. In her belly, there was a little Westeros. The man said at the beginning that this child could be surnamed Westeros, and with his personality, he would inevitably become one of the heirs of the Westeros system in the future.

In this case, in the future, this child will always take care of his brothers and sisters.

In this way, whether it is a son or a daughter, with the backer of the Westeros system, he has enough confidence in the face of any so-called old money.

Lei heard his mother say this, did not echo, Xiao Xiao was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Mom, we are ...... now"

Grace knew that her son had guessed it, and she didn't hide it, so she nodded and said, "We're going to see Simon later, this, you must have guessed it, and there's one more thing, wait, well, let him tell you." ”
