The nights in Beverly Hills are quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the city like New York.

Lying on a lounger by the pool in the warm room, Kate listened to the sound of nonexistent screams coming from Nicole's mouth not far away.

Her expression looked a little numb.

The mental activity is not troublesome at all, but very intense - [Damn stinky woman! Fack! Okay, right? It's so loud in the afternoon, look at how you call it now! Hua Ke, his voice is hoarse, damn it......]

"Ah......h

In the slander of Kate's heart.

There was a long, long cry from Nicole's side, like the wailing of the Great White Aries on the verge of death.

Tuao Da Aries, finally couldn't bear it at all, and was so tired that he fell asleep directly.

After a while, Kate saw Abel who had just come off the big white sheep, and jumped into the warm indoor pool water.

Under the blue lights at the bottom of the pool.

Like a robust killer whale, he shuttles through the water for several rounds.

Wow –

After a while, the "killer whale" emerged from the bottom of the water in front of the chaise longue where Kate was lying.

Kate glanced at him and didn't speak.

If she had a choice, she wouldn't have stayed here.

It was Abel who asked her to stay here.

Even if it's because I'm pregnant, I'm still in an unstable state in the early stages.

This guy wants her to be an audience, and the bad taste is full.

She was a little angry.

Then, "Hugh", a water arrow, spewed out of the mouth of the "killer whale" and went straight for Cate Blanchett.

"Ahh Kate finally couldn't stay steady, "Childish! Childish ghosts! Fack, that's naïve!"

"Hahahaha......"

In the pool, Abel's voice finally came.

"Dear Mrs. Upton." Kate heard the childish ghost say to her:

"By the way, I almost forgot to ask you. Do you still like Christmas gifts?"

Kate, who was wiping the water stains on her body, paused when she heard Abel ask.

She remembered a few days ago, on Christmas Day last year.

This guy in front of him, let the staff of the Express Company, send him the Christmas gift.

It was a beautiful white gold sapphire necklace with a dazzling sparkle and a brilliant design.

Just at first glance, Kate, like most women, fell in love with it.

Later, she learned that this was the "Antoinette Tears" that had been sold for $4.8 million at Sotheby's New York Winter Auction not long ago.

This white gold sapphire necklace is said to have come from the French court in the late 18th century.

It takes its name from one of its most famous owners, a Frenchman named Marie Antoinette.

Originally Austrian, the lady married a Frenchman and became queen of France

Her husband was the famous Louis XVI, the one who went to the guillotine.

And Marie Antoinette is the legendary super loser queen who spent the French treasury.

According to the Oriental tradition, the jewelry left behind by such an unlucky queen should be taboo.

But Westerners don't think so. ….

They felt that the jewels that could be valued and liked by such a poor and extravagant queen were really valuable.

So much so that anything related to Marie Antoinette, as long as it can be handed down, is often worth a lot of money in the West.

It is highly sought after by Westerners, especially women.

They think that Marie Antoinette can like it, whether it is good or not, at least there must be something special.

Otherwise, why did it attract Marie Antoinette's affection?

I knew that the Christmas gift I received was actually worn by the Queen of France

After.

Although he didn't say it, Cate Blanchett was very happy in his heart at that time.

At this time, hearing Abel mention it, Kate's heart couldn't help but soften.

After all, the hands are short, and the mouth is soft.

What a precious gift...... 4.8 million US dollars, if Kate is allowed to earn it herself, she will have to shoot at least 2~3 movies, and she will be the heroine to make so much money.

And that's before tax, not after tax.

Even after tax, a part of this money has to be taken out as commissions and fees for assistants, brokers, etc.

With a pre-tax income of $4.8 million, a Hollywood actor of Kate's level, the legal number that really comes into her pocket is only half at most, and sometimes even only 1/3, because PR sometimes requires expenses.

In other words, $4.8 million for Kate to earn and save for herself.

According to her current coffee position, she will have to shoot at least five or six movies to get so much money.

Except for the A-level celebrities at the head, the actors below Haolaiwu are generally only a little more than half of them.

But when the media reports or compares, it uses pre-tax income.

So many times, except for the head, the income in the entertainment industry is far less explosive than it seems.

Of course, it also depends on what kind of profession you are looking for.

If it's compared to ordinary people, it's nothing but tricks.

The other official actors, no matter how you look at it, are all high-income people above the gold collar.

This is also the attraction of the entertainment industry.

It's glamorous and lucrative at the same time.

The premise is to be able to withstand the darkness behind the light.

After a moment's hesitation, Kate whispered, "I like it very much...... It's very beautiful."

It's just too precious.

It was the most precious gift she had ever received.

Much more expensive than all the gifts she'd received in the past, in terms of value combined.

"That'll do. You like it best." Abel said with a grin.

Compared to receiving such an expensive gift, Kate, who was a little embarrassed and moved when he mentioned it at this time.

Abel didn't feel anything.

The $4.8 million Antoinette Tears is almost the same as a small necklace bought casually on the side of the road for Abel.

On average, he can get more than this amount of dividends in the U.S. stock market every day!

In fact, on Christmas Day, except for little Laura.

Abel gave hundreds of millions of dollars in gifts.

Among the Christmas gifts his women received.

From yachts to luxury cars, jewelry, luxury goods, and more, it varies. ….

Like little Laura, she received a title deed for the "Flower of Laura".

The future Smith family is on the East Coast, and the largest piece of land and property has two names on it, one is her and the other is Abel.

The house named after her has half of the ownership.

For little Laura, this is the best Christmas gift she has ever received.

They are all future mothers and wives, and the critical core can't be touched by her.

This kind of relatively less important industry, with particularly strong family attributes, makes her name appear in it, and Abel can also accept it.

Like Yoon Kana, she already has a yacht. Among Abel's women, the one who can get the most "reward" in agreements and contracts.

The Christmas gift that Yin Kana received from Abel became a mansion that her father had to sell in the early years of her family's early years, when her father went bankrupt many times.

The mansion is on Long Island and is worth more than $20 million. After Tedlerna re-made his fortune, he wanted to buy it back, but people didn't like him.

It's not about money, it's just that I don't want to sell it back to Ted Lerner.

Yin Kana's father

It's useless to be angry, who said that before he met Abel, his status in New York was really not high.

In this mansion, Yin Kana grew up here for five or six years as a child.

Abel came forward to buy it, and as soon as the other party heard that it was him, he took the initiative to sell it to Abel directly according to the market price.

Abel bought it as a Christmas gift and gave it to Yoon Kana.

And then, like Anne, the Christmas gift she received was a yacht.

A super luxury yacht that just allows Anne's family to go to sea, which is very luxurious and not too obtrusive.

Abel's other ladies also received different Christmas gifts.

Although they all received gifts, their Christmas gifts also had grades.

The highest level is, of course, little Laura, who is the only one.

This is followed by Yoon Kana, Annie, and Jessica.

These are a few who are earlier than Abel, and Abel has a little affection, and their Christmas gifts are all more than 10 million dollars.

It's kind of a second gear.

Below them, there are Li Fuzhen, Charlize and so on.

Their Christmas gifts are worth more than $5 million and less than $10 million.

It's kind of a third gear.

In the fourth tier below the third tier, the value of the gift is less than $5 million and more than $2 million.

Kate and Nicole are both at this level.

However, Kate is pregnant and received the highest grade of this grade, $4.8 million.

Nicole wasn't pregnant, and her gift was that she had a small cottage at the foot of Beverly Hills, where a $2 million loan was left unpaid.

There is also a fifth gear at the end.

The value of the gift is more than $200,000 and less than $2,000,000.

The 25 angels in Yin Lizabeth's back garden received gifts of this grade.

But because of their appearance, figure, and how much Abel likes them, they will be divided into several levels internally.

Like the "Five Supermodels", Gisele Bundchen, Big KK, Kashen, Lima and Ambro Show, they are capped at 2 million.

Those who are at the bottom, only a few cannons, that is a gift of two or three hundred thousand dollars. ….

These Christmas gifts of theirs, with the exception of a few of them, were personally selected by Abel.

For example, little Laura.

The kind of gifts received by other women. It's all up to the Smith Intelligence Group to pick them out according to their preferences and needs, and make sure they will definitely like it.

As for the candidates for gifts, in addition to little Laura, Abel asked David, the future family steward, to send it on his behalf.

The gifts of the other women, Abel gave to the Express Company.

Amex's high-level customer service is all-encompassing, and they can handle it too.

But Abel later learned that the women he valued more were the "postman's messengers" who sent them gifts.

But they were all taken as an opportunity to perform by several of his other cronies, and rushed to send them.

Like Annie, Yin Kana and a few others......

After knowing this, Abel was not angry.

He understood what his men were thinking.

It's nothing more than indirectly pleasing yourself by pleasing them.

After all, looking at all the big groups, consortia, and chaebols.

This situation like Abel's side is really very rare.

What is the situation?

That's the entire Smith consortium, and there's only one person around it from beginning to end, and that's him Abel Smith.

This Smith consortium, without anyone, will not have any problems.

There will be no loss to the company because of the absence of some important executives.

It is not because of the lack of certain people that some parts of the consortium will not function properly.

Because as long as Abel is there, any member of the consortium will be

Seems dispensable......

Because of this characteristic, even Abel is very decentralized, and he is very unsuspicious.

But the people who worked for him were all serious and desperate.

Because in addition to Abel, under Abel's banner, including the two most important Davids, the ecological niche they hold can be perfectly replaced.

Like David Jones, the ecological niche of his family steward, may be a sycophant Merio, who is even more capable than him......

According to David Mellon, Jade within the consortium surpasses him in ability. On Wall Street, there are at least two or three hundred elites who are better than David Mellon.

These two or three hundred elites, as long as Abel shouts, it is estimated that at least half of them are willing to work for Abel.

The most important reason why these two can occupy such an important ecological niche by Abel's side is that the two of them met Abel very early.

It is also more influenced by Abel's character.

The problem is that even the ecological niches of these two can be replaced so easily.

Not to mention others?

With the exception of the super money printing machine Abel Smith, it can be said.

The Smith Consortium, anyone can be missing......

In this case, elite executives who can figure it out.

I can only work hard and hope not to be replaced by my boss.

At the same time close to the boss's hobbies. Because Abel, the boss, is really the kind of personality and character that can be valued and trusted by him as long as he pleases him and then completes his job.

The best example of this is the two Michaels.

Michael Incoming and Michael Ovitz, both of whom were more successful in pleasing Abel and had a passing ability, were reused. ….

Michael Communication, in particular, became one of Hollywood's most powerful figures almost overnight.

This kind of status is ranked, and it will be better for others to succeed for decades.

It only took him a few months.

And the reason is only because Abel trusts him, and he is very good at pleasing Abel.

At the same time, the work ability is just very passing.

It is for this reason that Abel's other hobbies are not very strong.

Abel's love and affection for women.

was considered by his important subordinates to be the best way to curry favor with him and get close to him.

Naturally, someone made a representation of Abel, acting as a postman's messenger to deliver Christmas presents for him.

Abel understood this afterwards.

And so it passed.

At this time, he asked Kate, just to tease the other party.

Anyway, this Australian goddess already has her own child in her belly.

At the beginning, Abel was more interested in her mentality, although she was mainly playing.

Now that I have a child, I pay more attention to her.

This makes Abel also willing to invest some feelings and time to establish some meager emotional bonds with Kate.

[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @

After a while, Abel stretched out his claws to the Tuao Aries.

Kate, who had just been a little warm-hearted, heard the pitiful "bleating" of the big white sheep again.

Angry, she ignored Abel's request to stay and be an audience here, and turned back to her room.

Since then, nothing has been said all night.

The next morning.

Morning was the beginning of the day, and in the early morning, Able was in good shape and became more energetic.

When they wake up in the morning, many people often feel groggy and feel as if they haven't woken up.

At this time, proper morning exercise for half an hour or an hour will make the cells of the whole body active and make the whole person more energetic, so morning exercise in the morning is the best way to refresh yourself.

This is called "the plan of the day is in the morning".

Kakaka –

Refreshed and refreshed, Abel stretched Shutai's body comfortably, leaned over in the morning, sweating profusely, and the tired Nicole kissed her on the face, and said with a smile:

"Exhausted, aren't you? Don't be reckless in the future. What I gave you, you will have. If you force it, this is the end." ….

The Great White Aries had no way to reply to him.

She just wants to rest now, rest, she feels like she's dying!

After this time.

In Nicole's eyes, Abel has become a monster-level monster.

She felt that she didn't talk about material and identity things.

That's it...... She felt that she would not want to win him for the rest of her life.

Honestly choosing to lurk is probably my only choice.

Leaving the bedroom, Abel felt sticky.

He simply turned around and went outside, around 8:30 a.m.

The sunshine of Los Angeles has covered the entire land of California, and at a glance it is full of greenery, how can it look like winter.

This year is a warm winter, in Los Angeles in early January, in the morning, Abel felt that the temperature was at least above 20 degrees.

At this time, it may be snowing in New York, and even if it is a warm winter, the temperature will still be below zero.

The weather in California can be said to be very outrageous.

It's not tropical, but the climate is more comfortable than the tropics.

In addition, Abel's physique is very good, and in Los Angeles in January, the temperature in the morning is about 23 degrees, and Abel feels that it is not cold at all.

He had just finished exercising on Nicole's body, and he even felt a little hot now.

Come to the back outdoor pool facing Beverly Hills with a view of the city of Los Angeles in the distance.

Look at the city of Los Angeles in the distance, and the coastline a little further afield.

Abel couldn't help but sigh: "Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming."

Puff –

Abel jumped into the clear pool again, stretched out his limbs, slowly surfaced motionlessly, and lay on his back in the pool, the corners of his mouth raised, from the inside out, his body and mind were very comfortable.

"That's the joy of life! I love this life!".

A new thought
