Chapter 83: An eye-opener

"We're in New York~" Returning from Sokovia, Henry let go of their hand, took a few steps forward, and then turned to Wanda and Pietro and said.

"This is the lab, and you want to use us for human experiments?" Pietro asked with a calm expression as he looked around.

"You're thinking too much, Mr. Pietro, I just want you to go to school and get back to your normal life" When he went outside, opened the door and entered the elevator, seeing that they still hadn't moved, he said "Let's go, let's find you a place to live first!" ”

"Where are we going?"

"You'll know when you arrive" got out of the elevator and entered the underground parking lot. Open the car door, let the two children get into the car and sit down, and then start the car and drive to their parents' residence.

Henry plans to hand over Pietro and Wanda to his mother Mary to take care of, firstly, to give his parents something to do to pass the time, and secondly, the villa where he lives is not suitable for outsiders to enter, especially the children who are open-mouthed, afraid that they will speak out, which is also an impact on their unsound three views.

As the car entered Manhattan, the scene outside the window became more and more bustling, and the crowds and vehicles coming and going, shuttling between the buildings and the streets, immediately attracted the attention of Pietro and Wanda.

Different from the chaos in Sokovia, as a wealthy area, the security and environment of these streets are also the best in New York, so they were shocked at once, and the two occasionally talked in a low voice, do you want to live here in the future, there is some confusion in the words.

Finally arrived at the Long Island villa area, the environment here has been upgraded several notches, the villas are far from each other, the open places are separated by green lawns and woods, and there is a beautiful scenic road around the sea.

"Get out of the car~" Parking in front of his parents' villa, Henry opened the car door and let the two little ones get out of the car and go in with him.

"Where is this?"

"It's beautiful~, will we live here in the future?" Wanda asked with a smile on her face, following her brother.

"It's my parents' house, you will live here in the future, and they will take care of you!"

"What about you, uncle?" Wanda asked.

"I'm also in a villa not far from the neighborhood, because my children have just been born, so you can only live here~"

"Is it Henry?" Old Bradley heard the talking, put down his golf club, and looked behind him. Just in time to see Henry open the door and walk into the backyard with the two children, Mary, who was basking in the sun on the chaise longue, also stood up.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back~!"

"Why are you free to come back today, and there are two children, I'm Mary, hello~" Mary walked over and pushed Henry, who was about to hug him with open arms, to the side, and greeted while observing the appearance of the two children.

"Hello, my name is Pietro Maxim and she is my sister Wanda Maxim" Pietro took Wanda's hand and introduced himself.

"Well, come and sit here, do you drink orange juice?" The disappointment in Mary's eyes flickered, but she warmly invited the two of them to sit down at the plain white table and chairs under the umbrella, and poured two glasses of juice.

"Hmm~" Wanda nodded and replied. There was no juice at the base, only water and nutritious meals, and she hadn't drunk juice in months since she arrived.

"Thank you, Lady Mary," said Pietro, in a serious manner.

Henry walked up to old Bredley, picked up a club, weighed it twice in his hand, pointed it at the golf ball on the ground, and with a swing he hit the golf ball, and the golf ball flew out, drew a perfect parabola, and then went straight into the hole.

wanted to continue swinging the ball, but was stopped by old Bradley, "I'll have trouble picking up the ball later, you better sit quietly for a while~".

"It's not the set I gave you, the latest equipment, let the maid pick it up!" Saying that, he put the club down, poured himself a glass of juice, and walked back.

Old Bradley pulled out the club again and took it into his hand, and carefully wiped it with a towel, "What's the matter with those two children?" ”

"Their brother and sister are war orphans in Sokovia, and they brought them back when they met, are you and your mother willing to adopt?"

"I don't have any objection, just ask your mother's opinion," he said, glancing up at Henry, putting down his club.

"This is a matter for the two of you, of course you are going to ask!" Henry said, rolling his eyes.

"Brother and sister?"

"Uh-huh~"

"Okay, leave it to me, the two of them have a lot of fate with our family!" Old Bradley pondered for a moment, and then his mind moved. Adopting those two children just made up for the regret of not having time to be a good father before.

Old Bradley picked up the invitation on the table, handed it to Henry, and said with a slight smile, "This is just sent by the housekeeper, the invitation to the party, the participants are all leaders in various industries, I helped you do something, you help me go to the party~"

"Can you go yourself? I don't need these resources," Henry wondered.

"I'm going to buy a pet dog and I don't know what breed they both like, so I decided to take them along!" Old Bradley said and walked away.

"Dad, why are you going?"

"I'm going to change my clothes, I'll go now, it's getting dark~"

"They haven't eaten yet!"

"I can take them out to eat~" As he spoke, old Bradley disappeared.

"Hey!"

Reluctantly opened the invitation letter and took a look, except for the rich, the invitees were all the best doctors and lawyers in the industry, or professors from Ivy League universities, which was indeed of great help to the private property or health of the rich.

"But the top rich man, do you need to hold this kind of banquet?" Thinking of the lawyer Tiantuan in his company, the team of the family foundation, and the private hospital in which the biotechnology company has a stake, this invitation letter and the address on it are so weird.

"Manhattan, 9 p.m.!" Curiosity was piqued and I decided to go over and have a look.

"Henry, stay and eat with me~" Mary came over and pulled him to sit down beside her, demanding.

"Okay, let's make it simple, let's just sauce beef noodles" Putting down the cup in his hand, Henry then asked, "You seem to know, when did Dad tell you?" ”

"He just sent me a message and I agreed! They are just like you when you were kids! You were just looking at that invitation? ”

"Yes, it feels a little weird, I want to go over and have a look!"

"Your father also thinks it's a little strange, if you don't come back, he will also contact Catherine's team or you~" After Mary finished speaking, she called the butler and asked him to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and then send it to the backyard.

"Your father ran the company for a while after he left the Pentagon, and because he had a family foundation, he didn't need to attend this kind of party. However, this invitation letter was sent by the president of ABC TV, and ABC TV has always been very supportive of the current speaker! So it's hard to refuse! ”

"And the current Secretary of State is Frank, which is interesting~!" Henry suddenly said, whoever makes the most profit is the mastermind, and eight or nine are not far from ten.

"You mean, the Secretary of State wants to go one step closer, so he wants to use your power to remove the current Speaker? Two tigers are fighting, do you have a grudge against him? Mary said worriedly.

"He wants to be president, but unfortunately the presidential election is not until 2001, and he is so impatient that he may take extreme measures to get to power, so there is nothing to be afraid of, you don't have to worry!" Henry comforted Mary.

"Why don't you get in touch with the Speaker?"

"Then you won't be able to contact him until after attending the party!"

After having dinner with Mary, Henry went home and changed his car, changed his appearance with the Sky suit, and went to Manhattan instead of Old Bradley to attend the party.

Following Beyana's navigation, I stopped in front of a villa next to an intersection, the retro-looking villa has 5 floors in the window, and the street outside is full of cars, thinking that the party should begin.

handed the invitation to the security guard, and entered the banquet hall alone, and the people who were dancing inside were all paired with their female companions, and glanced at it, there were really many beautiful women. didn't say anything, the buffet started, and without a female companion, he turned his grief and anger into appetite.

"Have you ever read The Art of Love, written by the Latin poet Ovid?"

"Isn't he a lonely person in the end~? Exiled to a place with bad weather? ”

"But he was very happy before, happy like a fairy, does anyone accompany you? Alice~"

"I came with my husband~"

"That's a pity~, if I invite you to dance, he shouldn't be jealous, right~?"

As soon as Henry got to the place where he got the buffet and drinks, he heard a man and a woman having an ambiguous conversation with their backs to him, and their mouths were almost together.

Ovid was a poet in ancient Rome, married three times, and his masterpiece "Metamorphosis" is famous all over the world, and "The Art of Love" is a collection of poems that describes the techniques of love, teaches seduction and the art of private affairs, and then was exiled because he participated in the bloom of the Mediterranean Sea and sky.

Who is this, the girl is still so level, art is really played, a model of well-dressed beasts! Although he was surprised, Henry just couldn't get used to seeing male thieves and female prostitutes, so he immediately stepped forward to interrupt them, "Don't you treat the dining table as a bed, let me not lean on it, I want to get a glass of wine~"

Alice turned her head to look and found that it was a handsome blonde guy, who had his own strengths and weaknesses compared to his husband, and was wearing a black tight shirt and slacks, which fully showed off his good figure, which was much stronger than his husband.

Although the dress is incompatible with the other people at the banquet, looking at the temperament and the watch on his hand, he looks like a new rich man in Silicon Valley.

When Alice turned her head to look, Henry's eyes lit up, acquaintance! Isn't this Nicole Kidman?

"My name is Sander Vorster, and this gentleman across from me is really casual, I don't know what to call it?"

"With your worth, you should have used the Life Evolution Elixir, but your hair is still black and white, then your age should not be young, and your eyes are dark, indicating that you are overindulged and have no interest in getting to know you, so you can play ~!" Stepped forward to squeeze him away, chose a bottle of red wine from Louise's hometown, opened it and poured himself a glass, then turned to Alice and asked, "By the way, ma'am, do you want it?" ”

"Just change the glass, he just drank my champagne, are you a doctor?" Alice's eyes were emotional, and she moved up and down Henry's abs for a while before she looked at him. This man is even more manly than the naval officer he knew before with his husband behind his back!

"Why do you ask? Do you think I look like that? ”

"Because you know a lot, you only know that person's physical problems at a glance, but it's not like it, because my husband is a doctor, you are really a man like a fan~" Alice gestured with her eyes to Tander, who had not left behind Henry, and then said.

"Even? I see! Henry's eyes lit up, and then he said with a pun.

Henry had seen the "eye-opening" movie before, and at that time he also speculated that Haitian was in full swing and had no cover, and it may be that some people imitated it after watching this film, picked up the red wine bottle, and said to Alice, "Follow me and tell you a secret!" ”

"Okay~" Alice happily accepted.

The two went to a separate room and filled her with red wine, Alice smiled at the corner of her eye, is this how red wine is drunk? This man doesn't want to get me drunk, his charm is not diminished.

If she could read minds, Henry would have told her that there were ideas, but never drunk.

After crossing over, I learned that in addition to the movie, many people drink red wine to the bottle, what to taste, shake it, hang it on the wall or not, make it like a wine taster, and when you meet such a person, you are either showing off, or he is connotating you.

"When I saw you today, I knew that this banquet was not simple, and I had only heard of it before!" I touched a glass with her, and then after a sigh of relief, he said.

"Even? I'm curious! Alice looked at him quietly, wondering how he was getting a girl.

"In the circle of the rich, it is rumored that beauty pageants are chosen for certain people, because of your appearance, I can see clearly, the purpose of holding this banquet, I still don't understand?" Seeing that she still didn't quite understand, she continued to explain.

"There are some rational ordinary beautiful girls who will marry high-quality men around them, such as your husband, that type, who does not fantasize about being famous in beauty pageants, nor fantasizing about marrying into a wealthy family!"

"The top rich people don't want individual doctors and lawyers, so those high-quality men can't reach them, but the middle rich do, and some rich people with ideas have put their goals on the people around doctors and lawyers who want to enter the upper class, such as you, understand?"

"You mean, they're fishing?!" Alice's eyes widened and she said in disbelief.

"Uh-huh~!" Henry shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she guessed correctly, "Wait a minute, let me see your husband, don't say it, look down slowly, no more than half a month, there will be big news breaking out~"

"I'm not going to say it, including my husband, so who are you? Is it an FBI agent? Alice nodded and reassured.

"My name is Tom Cruise, a rich man who is so idle that it hurts~!" Another pun on the answer.
