Di Di Di Di –

In the depths of the night, the ice cubes formed by the rain and snow swooped on the back with the strong cold wind.

30 Martin Road, Big Neck, Long Island, New York.

This is a resort-style beach house built in 1987 in the Kings Point neighborhood of Long Island's Great Neck.

It is one of the more ordinary buildings in New York.

But because it's located in a bay, the deep blue water is a bit like the ocean on the Los Angeles side. After discovering this, this became Kayla's favorite Long Island villa, and it was here that she lived the most, except for the Smith Building.

Leaving JFK International Airport, it was about two hours.

Abel and the others have arrived. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the warmly lit mansion, Kayla and Abel, draped in a coffee-colored shawl, are standing with Abel, admiring the cold and biting blizzard raging and unprovoked outside the window.

In the middle of a blizzard, a small convoy drove in.

The golden door opened, and Britney and Avril walked in with their daughter. With a gentle smile on his face, Abel opened his arms and hugged Avril who threw herself into his arms. Britney hesitated for a moment and glanced at Kayla, who rolled her eyes and continued to look out the window.

Britney dared to take advantage of the situation to snuggle into Abel's arms and hold her little Aetia.

"If you've had enough, let's have a hot chocolate coffee. That will make your body a little more comfortable. ”

It was a dozen seconds before Kayla's voice rang out.

Abel let go of them, took the daughter in Britney's arms, walked to Kayla with a smile, and took the opportunity to pick up Orlando in the baby basket with beautiful eyes and no sleep.

One left and one right, a son and a daughter. Looking at the lovely children, Abel smiled very happily.

Seeing him do this, Kayla's gaze at Britney and Avril softened a lot.

At this moment, in the entire golden and warm hall, there were only the four of them adults and two children. The stronger the wind and snow outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the more comfortable Abel felt. The three women next to him, each with their own beauty and different beauty, as well as the children, these happiness and sweetness trickled into a river, and he couldn't help but smile.

It's just that the atmosphere between the three women is a little awkward.

Avril and Britney are still a little afraid of Kayla, the little California princess.

The little princess couldn't resist Abel arranging them for her, but she wouldn't give them a good look.

Fortunately, in this kind of situation similar to the Shura field, Abel has long been used to it, and he knows how to respond.

He took the initiative to put the conversation on Kayla's favorite Long Island villa.

Speaking of topics of interest to her, Kayla also diverted her attention from Britney and Avril, who made her uncomfortable.

"Giggles, all of this furniture is from Restoration Hardware, and a lot of it is antique. I picked a number of companies, and only RH has a classic style of the early 20th century in the United States, which looks quite retro, but also perfectly blends the modern trend of the 20s with the sensibility of the 21st century. ”

Kayla turned up the corners of her mouth, took Abel's hand, and began to happily introduce her man to the perfect results of this time before dinner.

She hadn't been here for long, and Abel had been here for the first time, after all, there were too many of his houses.

Avril Lavril and Britney, the two "little girls" in the entertainment industry, also took the opportunity to hold Attia and Orlando behind the two and enjoy Kayla's proud arrangement together.

The aristocratic walnut furniture is dark and shiny, with exquisite hand-carved details, elegant and noble velvet sofa seats, exquisite curtain design, handmade carpets laid on the floor, and extravagant crystal chandeliers......

Retro Simmons, elegant shell carving, leather upholstery, and exquisite hand-woven rope pressed to create a classic geometric effect, showing a luxurious temperament in comfort.

Blooming pinks everywhere and white flower decorations adorn every corner of the mansion.

Hand-carved sofa frames, noble blue and brown velvet upholstery, floral carpets, and gold sequins on the cushions create a charming charm that sets off the noble and gorgeous beauty of the entire sofa lounge area.

The decoration was so beautiful and luxurious that Avril and Britney couldn't take their eyes off it and made their hearts flutter.

In the whole mansion, except for Simmons sheets and other things that need to be used closely, almost all of them are antiques or antique-level modern crafts.

When Avril whispered how much it spent, Kayla held up a finger, "About $100 million." Many are antiques, and as long as they are not damaged, they may appreciate in value over time. ”

Abel smiled and shook his head gently, okay, this Californian is a bit of a loser.

The renovation cost nearly $100 million, and the value of the house is just over $20 million.

However, this glitzy and extravagant style of the twenties of the last century is really good, and Abel especially likes the study and cigar room that Kayla specially prepared for him in the lavish Regency-style decoration.

Abel smiled and listened to Kayla, who was dancing with her eyebrows, introduce those unique crystal chandeliers, stretched out her hand to hold her somewhat plump waist after giving birth, and chuckled: "I like it very much, it's all perfect, like being in a golden age of roaring." ”

"Po-"

"Giggles, thanks for the compliment!" Kayla happily kissed Abel on the cheek. "Let's go, dinner is almost ready, and you've prepared all your favorite food."

She looked back at Britney, who was holding her own child, and Britney's own child was being held by Avril.

Both children, about the same age, were already asleep.

After hesitating, Kayla still said to the two, "And what you like to eat!" ”

The dining room, which is also lavishly decorated, is more intimate, with baroque crystal chandeliers radiating a warm glow, and a large oval dining table with flowers in full bloom in the middle, with Abel and Kayla sitting on the two main seats, and Britney and Avril on either side.

The children, who had fallen asleep, were sent to the warm bedrooms to rest.

One meal after another was served, and eight waiters stood by at all times, serving the four of them at any time.

After dinner, the snowstorm outside was even bigger.

It was still early, and the children woke up again. Abel didn't immediately snuggle up, but went to work in the regent-style study.

Before he could read a few briefings, David, the housekeeper of the family, walked in and whispered to him, "Boss, there is definitely a power outage in New York." The snowstorm was so heavy that it covered almost the entire northeastern coast. In addition to New York, the same is true for many cities in several nearby states. ”

As soon as Abel nodded, one of the several satellite phones placed next to him rang.

He picked it up and looked at the number, and saw that it was Mr. Bloomberg calling.

"Hi City. Good evening, Mr. Chief. ”

"Good evening Abel, I heard you're back in New York. There was a heavy snowstorm outside and there was a power outage. It's a good idea to pay a little attention, as it may take some time to recover this time. The efficiency of the joint Edison, I think you know it too. ”

"Tsk, I'm afraid that has a big impact on Wall Street. Even if there is backup power, it is not as good as the public network. ”

"No way, the blizzard is too big. And that's what Union Edison looked like. ”

"Then again, Michael. We have a way to buy Edison Union. I believe that in my hands, it will be able to ensure the normal supply of electricity to New York. Then again, anyone else would probably do it better than United Edison. This company, like its founder, is a rogue one. ”

His words obviously silenced Bloomberg on the other side.

It took a few seconds for Bloomberg's voice to sound, "I'm afraid it's hard, Abel, even you." And...... We're not done with Warren Buffett yet. At this time, if you reach out to United Edison again, it is difficult to ensure that those people do not go crazy. ”

"Haha...... I'll just mention it. I also know that if I reach out at the same time. Those people would have thought I was trying to officially declare war on them. ”

"It's good that you know. I won't talk to you anymore, I'll be very busy next. It's hell weather, and I hope nothing big happens. ”

"Well, the city. Mr. Chang, go and go about your own business, goodbye. ”

"Goodbye, Abel."

After hanging up, Abel took the satellite phone and did not put it back in place, nor did he continue to look at the business briefing on the screen, but stood up and walked around the study, and finally came to the floor-to-ceiling window to see the snowstorm blocked out of the window.

After thinking about it, he didn't look back and said directly, "Help me dial Ms. Caroline's number." ”

David, who had never left, lowered his head and took a satellite phone, and directly began to dial.

After the phone was connected, he took the satellite phone to Abel, and took the one in Abel's hand and put it back in its place.

"Hi Caroline. Good evening. ”

"Good evening, Mr. Smith!"

"Where are you now?"

"Now? I'm in Manhattan right now, and I'm in my campaign office. Because of the power outage, the backup power was activated, and the wind and snow outside were too strong, so we couldn't leave for the time being. ”

"Listen, Caroline, I have an idea."

Abel said that he had just admired the snowstorm outside, and in a flash of inspiration, he suddenly thought of an idea and said it to Caroline.

“…… I think it's worth doing. In a blizzard, send warmth to people. It's always more memorable than sending a blanket when it's warmer. ”

Caroline barely hesitated, "I'll listen to you all, sir." ”

It seems that she still understands what she should do if she wants to gain a foothold in Manhattan or New York.

Especially now, when her uncle's condition is still deteriorating.

"So be it. I'll have someone to assist you and get your campaign office to make a good plan come out. ”

"No problem, we can't go back for the time being. We could do this all night, all night. ”

"That'...... I wish you all the best and goodbye, Carolyn. ”

"I wish you all the best, Mr. Smith, and goodbye."
