The Morgenthau family's dinner ended before 10 p.m.

The process and outcome of the banquet was perfect for most of the guests.

There are Smith and Morgun, Rockefeller, and even DuPont's banquets, where may it not be perfect!

During this period, Robert Morgenthau, an important member of the Hydra Gang, announced his intention to retire due to his advanced age.

At the same time, Peggy Morgenthau, the heart of tonight's banquet, was pushed.

Even if he doesn't do this, in fact, everyone knows that the 3rd generation of Morgenthau, who has always been mediocre, finally has a core and a representative of power, which is this Miss Morgenthau who was pushed out.

Naturally, everyone applauded, and then one of the programs of the dinner, the dancing session, began.

Morgenthau is one of the more traditional families on the East Coast. Tonight is another old-fashioned banquet, and the dancing session in the middle is the same as in Gilded Age America.

If you don't understand, just go and watch the Hollywood movie "The Great Gatsby".

And the two centrepieces of tonight's feast, Mr. Abel Smith and dear Miss Peggy Morgenthau, at Robert Morgenthau's repeated requests, came out to lead the dance, that is, to dance the first dance.

The two of them did not have any strange expressions because of the previous events, and each with a proper smile, in front of hundreds of guests, performed the ballroom dance brought by everyone's ancestors from Europe back then.

Everything that followed was very much in line with the tradition of the year, and it was not until the time was almost up that the guests gradually dispersed satisfied.

In the end, only the members of the Morgenthau family remained.

On behalf of the elders, see off the last wave of guests. When she returned to the living room of her home, Peggy found the elders still in the reception room.

Some of them were sighing and drinking coffee, and some were muttering and cursing something from time to time, and even Grandpa Robert was full of disappointment.

Obviously, it is still in a state of "never lost opportunity".

Although everyone's reaction was expected. But she still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart. Then she shook her head gently. Drove away this disappointment.

Instead of entering the door of the reception room, she walked straight through the hallway to her bedroom.

Back in the bedroom that was full of bookshelves and 'ungirlish' in the words of my cousin Anna Morgenthau.

Peggy Morgenthau felt a pang of relief, as if her entire soul had found a place to belong.

The neatly arranged books gave her a sense of reassurance, and the smell of paper permeated her heart, making her forget all her worries.

She wandered in front of the bookshelves, using this method to sink her mind into the calmest state.

At this time, she is. There was neither anxiety nor anger. Not even worried, she was just thinking.

There is no doubt that her family is in a difficult situation right now, but what is there to worry about?

Although the three elders are old, and the juniors are mediocre, the only one who is still passing is his daughter. But this is not the past, even if the three respected elders really pass away one after another, only relying on the in-laws and friends of the Morgenthau family, the Morgenthau family can live better than 99.9% of the people in the world.

At best, it would be just to hand over control of the judiciary in New York State.

Even if this is lost, the wealth left by the elders is enough for all Morgenthau to live a good life.

This kind of life is not available to 99.9% of Americans. Not to mention the many others outside of the United States who are in a worse situation.

However, Peggy also understands the truth that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Morgenthau, who had controlled the judiciary in New York State for decades, were all very worried about the family's future loss of authority in this area.

Nobody wants this to happen.

So, if ...... How can it be avoided?

The girl's whole mind was devoted to thinking about this question.

She unconsciously pulled out documents and materials from the most familiar places on the shelves, which were newspapers and periodicals or some internal documents that she had collected by herself over the past few years, and read these things written down by herself.

If anyone were here at this time, they would find that many of the pictures above were Abel Smith.

The information in this is basically all related to Abel Smith......

As she reads, she ponders these questions.

There is no doubt that, judging from Abel's tone, there is absolutely no room for compromise on the kind of possibility he longs for most in the Morgenthau family.

So, how can you get him to change his mind?

Peggy frowned slightly, then thought carefully about how to do this.

After a moment, she shook her head helplessly. Peggy fell into deep thought. She carefully recalled the scenes of her association with Abel Smith.

Young.

Needless to say, yes, and also very handsome, looking a little rude but actually very personable.

Brilliant.

Needless to say, there are no talented words. How could a Texan grow to such a point in New York in such a short period of time?

Unlike others, Peggy sees more than just his talent in finance and business.

Because of the profession, and because of the good relationship between my grandfather and Abel.

She was able to access more inside information related to Abel.

Alex Smith, for example, is now a member of the House of Representatives. Neil Bush is also a member of Congress.

In addition, he also made friends with a large number of internal bigwigs of the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party.

The key point is that he did not refuse to associate with the Donkey Party because of his strong background in the Elephant Party. Even the zipper couple who had conflicts with him, he was able to let go of the mustard and have intimate relationships......

His performance in these areas lets Peggy know that he is talented in addition to being financially and business-like.

Even when it comes to Masaji, Peggy thinks he's a great natural guest.

Because he has done what a regular customer should do most, but many times it is difficult to do.

That's compromise, and Shoji is the art of compromise in the first place.

Finance, Business, Justice. Of these three talents, any one is outstanding. Peggy thinks that she can make a person live better than most people in the country of the United States.

Now Smith has all three talents, and they are all very good. So Peggy, who had been studying him all along, thought it would be strange if he didn't succeed.

And these, in fact, many institutions that study Abel also have similar conclusions.

Peggy is different from these people, and she also finds something else strange. That is, by reading the financial reports of Smith's companies, she found that Abel was intentionally or unintentionally building or relocating many manufacturing and industrial companies to Texas.

As smart as she was, she didn't expect the empire to fall so quickly in the future. So she was a little confused about Abel's approach to this, and just guessed that it might be Abel's mentality as a Texan.

Now she wants to use these things to rationally judge such a young and talented person, dare to take risks one by one, and finally get a position that is difficult for others to achieve, what does he think in his heart......

For such a young man who has already gained fame, fortune and status. What could be more appealing to him?

Peggy closed her eyes and fell into deep thought. Abel's image was already clear in her heart, but now it is becoming clearer and clearer.

It seemed to be engraved in her mind, and in a trance, she seemed to have returned to the last moment of the banquet not long ago, back to the time when the two of them hugged each other and danced the first dance on the stage just now, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind.

Will...... No, it will be like this, it should be like this, it can only be like this.

She came up with a crazy idea.

Her breathing grew heavier, and she suddenly felt a little hot and restless in her body.

She ripped her glasses off the bridge of her nose, then reached out and closed the curtain heavily.

In an instant, the soft moonlight filled the room, and Peggy looked up at the sky, her shadow alone behind.

That person is actually as lonely as me.

Want more company because you're lonely?

Want to leave as many traces of him as possible in this world?

Removing the glasses, the moon in Peggy's eyes was very blurry, and the moonlight hung down from the sky like strings.

She suddenly reached out and leaned forward gently, as if trying to grasp one of the strings.

Then, as a matter of course, she grabbed a blank. Then, she was in a daze for a long time, and after a long time, a maid came to call her, saying that the elders in front of her had asked her to pass.

Peggy casually lowered the curtains and hid her study in the darkness again.

……

……

On the way back to Manhattan Island, Edward in the passenger seat and Andy the driver both found that tonight's boss had become very silent since the Morgenthau family's castle manor left.

Andy, the driver, didn't go into the stone castle, so he didn't know anything, and he was a little apprehensive at this time.

As Abel's personal bodyguard, Edward, who also witnessed the confrontation between Abel and the Morgenthau family, had a hidden guess in his heart.

But Edward has been with Abel for 4 years and has always been one of his most trusted people.

The other three King Kong began to take turns to work in West Asia because of the previous Florida incident, but he was still left by Abel's side.

Such a person, of course, knew what to do at this time, so Edward just sat in the passenger seat silently, maintaining a state of external vigilance and not saying a word.

After a long time, the convoy returned to Manhattan Island. Manhattan was naturally covered in night at this time, and the endless skyscrapers were lit up brilliantly, and the spectacular night view of Manhattan and the scene of capitalist paradise were presented in front of Abel.

Not far away, the roof of the Smith Building, outlined by red lights outlining the outline of the round tower at the top, especially in the midst of the brilliant lights, which was the light pollution that Abel spent tens of millions of dollars to add when he bought the Smith Building for renovation.

This very cyber scenery finally made Abel speak, and both Andy and Edward in front of him breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not going back to the Smith Tower. Inform the others to go to the airport now, I want to go to Los Angeles to relax. ”

Edward immediately nodded yes, and without asking why, picked up the satellite phone and informed David.

Like Smith Intelligence, none of them care, they only serve Abel Smith.

So at the Smith Building, Kayla, who had been waiting for Able to return after the banquet, received the news in the living room that Able had left for Los Angeles soon after.

After hearing the news, Kayla, whose belly was already very high, couldn't help but turn her head to look at Avril and Britney, who were quiet and well-behaved in front of her.

"Did he tell you what he was going to Los Angeles about?"

Hearing this question from the California princess, the two super youth idol singers were stunned.

Avril thought to herself: How dare I go to find out the whereabouts of the Great Demon King, you think everyone is like you!

Britney was obviously bolder, thought for a moment and replied softly, "No, but we all know that he has so many things." There may be something that requires him to rush to Los Angeles. ”

Kayla was noncommittal about this explanation, she instinctively thought it was weird. But she also knew that Abel was indeed a super busy man, and maybe it was because he had something to do to go to California.

"Okay." Kayla nodded, then looked at Britney, "Now let's talk about you, are you sure you're really pregnant?" Or is it his? ”

Her attitude of taking it for granted, like the mother of the family facing a servant, Avril next to her looked very unhappy, and she didn't have the courage to speak out, so she kept complaining in her heart.

Britney doesn't know if it's because she's a mother, or if she's gone through that time when she almost went crazy, and her mind is different from before.

Britney nodded slightly, "Yes, who else could it be?" ”

Her rhetorical question made Kayla hold her breath.

Because Kayla does know that the guy cares a lot about this, there will be absolutely no problem in this regard.

"Okay, okay. They're all illegitimate children anyway......" Kayla muttered, then shouted, "Then let's go and raise a baby as he says." ”

[You seem to be able to decide, isn't this something that has been decided a long time ago? Avril thought to herself.

Britney still gives face to the princess of California, Britney knows the importance of this to Abel, so she nodded softly and gently, her performance satisfies Kayla's addiction to being a housewife to a certain extent.

And nearly eight hours later, around five o'clock in the evening.

By the time the Smith landed on a private tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport, it was already the middle of the moon, and the bright stars were obscured by the whitening east.

Abel had an extra black trench coat on his body, and as he walked down the ladder, he was blown up by the night wind and hunted. Without stopping, he stooped into the Cadillac monster that had emerged from the hangar, and quickly drove away from the tarmac.

Hollywood's Beverly Hills, although it is almost dawn, is still brightly lit, and even if the luxurious villas are surrounded by vegetation, they cannot hide the bright light from the outdoor spotlights.

But it's almost six o'clock now, and the craziest Hollywood men's and women's parties at this time have ended, and the bright Beverly is also calm at this time.

By the time he arrived at his mansion at 9555 Heather Road in Beverly Hills, it was already dark.

Abel walked into the courtyard of the villa, and Jane Marisa, the rock security lady who was in charge of the villa, greeted him with two maids and whispered hello to him.

"Good morning, Lady Marisa."

When Abel responded, he was not surprised to see the young maid standing behind Jane Marisa.

She wore a meticulous ponytail, a wide white forehead, and a short-skirted maid dress with a white pleated round neckline and five-quarter-top sleeves.

This is a piece of clothing that the maids around Abel have. Clothes, she must have specially trimmed her figure, because it is very close-fitting, showing her slender and slender body that is very in line with oriental aesthetics, as if it is a beautiful sculpture from ancient times.

The heels with seven-point heels make her flawless long legs even more tall and slender.

It also makes her a head taller than the other beautiful maid and the housekeeper Jane Marisa, and it is easier to attract people's eyes.

It's just that she still looks a little young, so people can know at a glance that she is actually not very old.

And she is Miss Gal Gadot, a Seliege international student who is said to be studying abroad for an internship at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Abel hired Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's medical services, and she became Jessica Alba's personal nurse at 9555 Heather Road in Beverly Hills.

Miss Gal Gadot didn't know that her every move here was being watched by Abel.

Like now, Abel knew that the reason why she was here so early, still dressed as a maid. The reason for serving.

It was because she claimed to the housekeeper Jane Marisa that her internship at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center was not subsidized.

She hopes to earn a subsidy for herself and her family in addition to her job as a resident private nurse, and hopes to join Jane Marisa's maid team and do some housekeeping work that she can do to earn some subsidies.

Because in the past few months, Miss Gal Gadot has been very diligent, very smart, and beautiful, but the key is that she is very young, which makes it difficult for people who don't know the details to be wary.

Without Abel's permission, Jane Marisa was impressed by her and agreed to Miss Gal Gadot's request.

Presumably, it seemed to Jane Marisa that Miss Gal Gadot would have lived in the villa anyway. And the work of nurses is really not very much, and one doctor and two nurses who live here are on standby most of the time.

Since she is so diligent, Jane Marisa is certainly willing to give her a chance to be sweet and well-behaved.

That's why she came to meet Abel with Jane Marisa so early.

She is now also Abel's part-time maid and one of Jessica's personal nurses.

After a brief greeting, Abel didn't stay on her for long, and walked inside.

For this beautiful chick who can basically be confirmed to be Miss Spy, he is still hesitating.
