America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 134 The Woman at the Top of the Food Chain
"Miss Morgenthau, you also know. A few days ago, the media reported that I changed my girlfriend every day."

"But in fact, what I want to explain is that it is all false."

"Those "girlfriends", they are either models from my modeling company. Or actors from my film company."

"It's just that I'm creating scandals and shifting the focus for them."

"It's a business practice."

"but."

Malibu Beach,
Abel spoke to Peggy Morgenthau:
"But my team, I think it's better for me to maintain a playboy persona."

"They said it would cover my aggressiveness as a financial capitalist."

"It will make the average American feel like I'm a real person."

"I think this makes sense, and I have been working hard to create it before."

"The effect is pretty good."

Having said that, Abbott paused, looking at Peggy Morgenthau who was looking at him seriously.

Seeing him pause, the latter couldn't help but speak:
"I don't understand why you are a financial capitalist. It is your nature to maintain the personality of a playboy, not the personality itself."

"Actually, I don't care about these. What I care more about is, what do you want, sir." Peggy said directly.

"Ha~"

He laughed: "This question is on point."

"As you can see, Miss Morgenthau. I will continue to maintain my playboy persona."

"But today, in order to come out to meet you, I didn't bring my female companion out."

"And now the reporters are here. So what I want to say is, can you help me maintain my Playboy persona?"

Peggy Morgenthau's beautiful eyebrows frowned, and her eyes were as blue as the sea dozens of feet away, with doubt and anger.

"What do you mean, Mr. Smith?" Paige asked.

"My meaning is very simple." Abel said with a smile:
"Being my one-day girlfriend in front of reporters or the media. Helping me maintain my Playboy persona."

"impossible!"

Peggy Morgenthau said firmly, "Unless."

She looked at Abel's handsome face and tall figure.

"Unless that's the terms of your settlement."

She added.

"Deal~" Abel was also straightforward and responded directly.

"As long as Miss Morgenthau can help me today. Then tonight, I will have my lawyers withdraw the lawsuit, and this matter will stop here."

"Okay." Peggy Morgenthau was not hypocritical.

It was mainly the guy opposite, although it made her teeth itch with hatred.

But she has a good skin, so she won't be disgusted.

Peggy doesn't mind if grandfather can avoid this trouble at such a small price.

Does he, Abel Smith, still dare to use force on himself?
If that was the case, Paige Morgenthau thought she might laugh.

Because if that's the case, then the branch of MG, Morgenthau.

He will teach Abel every minute, what is the East Coast political powerhouse.

Since she didn't have any worries in this regard, Peggy readily agreed.

"OK~"

Abel gave her an OK gesture.

He lazily lay back on the recliner, thinking that this matter would never end.

It's just that it can only be like this for now.

But he is a man with a grudge.

One day when he really gets stronger.

And if given the right opportunity, he would never mind taking a big bite on Morgenthau!

Until then, pretend to be reconciled for now.

Thinking of this, he looked sideways at Peggy Morgenthau who was sipping lemon ice water with her head down.

Abel's heart moved, and he said softly, "Peggy, give me some water."

Peggy: "!!!!!!"

Abel's hand pointed to the paparazzi and reporters in the distance.

He raised another finger, and mouthed to her: 【Girlfriend for a day! 】

Peggy's beautiful eyebrows frowned, and then slowly relaxed.

Her complexion was a little bad, and her tone was a little bored, "I'm not good at doing these things. If you have any requirements, you can just say it, as long as it's not too much."

While talking, she picked up the glass of ice water that Abel had just drank, and approached Abel.

But before she came close, she heard Abel say:

"Peggy, I want to ask you a question. Have you had a medical check-up recently, and have you had any respiratory infections?"

Paige: "?????"

Why did it turn to the aspect of whether I have respiratory infectious diseases and physical examination?
She was a little puzzled and looked at Abel.

"Answer me, yes or no?"

"No." She said a little puzzled and unhappy:
"I have a physical examination every month, and I am in good health."

Her physical examination is not the kind of physical examination that Abel asked Michael Levin to do for the contracted model of Isha Company.

But the rich people in the United States are more afraid of death than the other.

Those wealthy families with inheritance, especially attach great importance to health care.

On the east coast, any wealthy family will have a medical examination almost every month.

This can be regarded as a means of medical security. If the disease is detected in advance, it can also be convenient and better to prescribe the right medicine.

So as to achieve better treatment goals.

Address disease before it affects health.

This is also the reason why one or two of the really rich people in Europe and the United States have basically lived to more than 90.

In addition to sudden death and violent death, such as Epstein who was shot eight times in the back and hanged himself in prison.

There is very little news about the top rich men in Europe and America dying before the age of 90.

One is rich, the other is attention, and the third is advanced medical technology.

Morgenthau is undoubtedly the richest family on the East Coast, so they naturally have this fine tradition.

After answering herself, Peggy saw Abel make a relieved expression, and then he said to himself:

"That's good, then I'm relieved. Then, Peggy, put down this glass of ice water, and I'll drink the glass you drank."

A small incredulous expression appeared on Peggy's face, "I've had this cup. I've had it!"

"I only drink it after you drink it." Abel rolled his eyes at her, "Didn't you see the paparazzi over there taking pictures? Is there any couple in love who doesn't drink what's in each other's cup? Do the whole thing, dear Miss Morgenthau!"

"Sorry." Peggy remained expressionless, enduring her unhappiness and slight nausea.

She brought over the iced lemonade she drank a few sips just now.

"I've never been in a relationship. I don't know about such things."

She brought the ice water in front of Abel with some bluntness, and said again.

Fortunately, Abel didn't really drink the water she drank, but just shook the cup in his hand.

It looks like you're drinking, but you're not really drinking.

This relieved Paige Morgenthau.

But I feel a little upset in my heart-what?Afraid that I really have an infectious disease, and then don't drink it?

While thinking this way, she immediately heard the other party's more excessive demands.

"By the way, Peggy. Here, come here and stand behind me."

Peggy was a little reluctant, but she still stood on Abel who was lying on the recliner as she said.

Then she heard again: "Yes, stand up, and put your hands on my shoulders."

Paige didn't do it right away this time, and she asked, "Why did you do that?"

"This reflects the intimate contact between male and female friends. You give me a massage, so that we can appear to be very close, and also avoid our other more excessive contacts that make you resist."

Abel said, "You won't let me hold you in my arms just for the sake of acting, will you?"

Massaging him and hugging him, Peggy decisively chose the first one.

Reluctantly, she put her hands on Abel's shoulders with the hands of writing and organizing case files all day long.

She grabbed it a few times perfunctorily, and it was considered a massage.

From Abel's point of view.

The noble daughter of a wealthy family on the east coast, and the granddaughter of the jewel in the palm of her rival.

Now I am giving myself a "massage", even if I am very reluctant, even if it is conditional.

It also made him feel happy at this time.

But people always have to look forward to Shu.

Peggy Morgenthau was so pretty, much prettier than Ikana.

Now that the conditions are right, Abel wants to go further.

He's playing tricks again.

"Don't stop your hands. Those paparazzi cameras all have telephoto lenses. They can clearly capture the movements of your palms."

"If you are so perfunctory, it will make them doubt our relationship, and make the character set I created today fail."

Peggy had no choice but to move her fingers reluctantly, and really started to massage Abel.

It's just that the movements are rusty, and there is no feeling of comfort at all, just scratching with claws.

Abel didn't mind it either, it was as if he had found a great toy at the moment.

He thought this Peggy Morgenthau was too funny.

I played some today.

that's it,
Throughout the day, Paige Morgenthau became Abel's one-day girlfriend.

Follow Abel to bask in the sun and play in the water on the beach in Malibu, and follow Abel back to Beverly Hills for shopping and dinner.

After dinner, I went to the cinema again in the old-fashioned way in the afternoon.

After watching the movie, the two of them were at three o'clock in the afternoon, which was obviously not the time to sleep.

They went into a luxury hotel by the roadside together and didn't come out until five o'clock.

After coming out, I went to a Michelin star restaurant in downtown Los Angeles and had dinner.

When it was almost time for dinner, under the gaze of Peggy's beautiful blue eyes.

Abel smiled and took out his mobile phone.

He made a phone call.

"David. I had a great time with Miss Peggy Morgenthau today."

Peggy frowned, she knew that the other party was calling David Mellon.

But why use this sentence in the opening remarks?
Have a good time with me?

I'm not happy at all, okay? !

Thinking of what happened all day today, Peggy was filled with displeasure.

But at the same time, there is still a strange feeling in the bottom of my heart.

Here's what these average women do today when they're in a relationship.

Paige is still experiencing it for the first time.

In fact, some are quite interesting.

Such as going to the movies, such as playing in the water on the beach, such as shopping.

Fortunately, what Abel said later was what Peggy was happy to hear.

"Let Ms. Caroline, notify the lawyers and lawyers. Withdraw the suit."

"Yes, that's right. We reconciled. Robert sent his granddaughter here. She is so beautiful. What can I do?"

Peggy didn't like to hear the latter sentence again.

She felt it was a bit of an object and a bit of belittling of her grandfather.

"My grandfather didn't send me here! Mr. Smith, please be careful. I have fulfilled your request, and I hope you don't talk nonsense." Peggy was a little angry.

Abel, who was still answering the phone, smiled and waved to her, continuing to brag with David Mellon.

"Ah~ yes yes, Peggy is still with me. We are still in the hotel. She is a little angry, so be it, David, don't forget what you asked Ms. Caroline to do."

"OKOK~ It will take about a week, and I will return to New York in a week."

"That's it, I'm going to have dinner with Peggy."

Under the gaze of Peggy Morgenthau's slightly angry blue eyes, Abel finally hung up the phone.

Then he spread his hands to Peggy Morgenthau:
"Paige, look. I kept my word and made our deal."

Peggy Morgenthau, who had endured and been upset all day, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She immediately stood up and said with a slightly disgusted look:

"If that's the case, then I'll leave."

"Goodbye, no farewell, Peggy." Abel didn't stand up either, and waved to her with a smile.

"goodbye!"

Peggy left this sentence, turned and left directly.

Not long after she walked out of the restaurant.

David Jones, carrying a folder, came in from the outside.

David came to Abel and handed the folder to Abel.

"Boss, these are the photos taken by those reporters." David said softly.

Abel nodded and took it, opened the folder, and found at least one or two hundred edited photos inside.

He picked out a few at random, and the hero and heroine in them were indeed himself and Peggy Morgenthau.

Many of them photos.

Because of the angle, plus his own deliberate guidance.

It seems that the two are very close, and no one will believe that they are not male and female friends.

Abel nodded in satisfaction, and stuffed the photos into the folder.

"Choose a dozen or so photos. Don't take them too far, but also make it appear that I am closer to her. Return these photos to the reporters."

"How to report tomorrow's news, the strength is up to you to master."

After listening to the boss's order, David Jones was a little tangled.

Let them master this strength, which is a bit difficult to master.

The other party is also a political powerhouse on the east coast, if it goes too far.

If you are really angry and fight back, the boss may think it's nothing.

But those who do things will always fail to do well with the boss.

It's just that the boss obviously didn't mean to order to what extent.

In this regard, David Jones also knew that it was difficult to ask.

Doesn't it seem that they are incapable of doing things after asking, and the boss needs to personally point out everything?
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod, and went out with the folder. He planned to discuss it with the team.

the next day,
10 month 30 day.

Ikana traveled from New York to Los Angeles on business in her father's private jet.

Free books and newspapers in the VIP lounge of the airport.

She's seen a ton of news coverage of the new girlfriend of super-new rich Abe Smith.

For these reports,
Ikana had seen it many times before.

I even received Abel, who called her personally to "explain".

With the previous psychological preparation, plus Abel's explanation.

When Ikana saw this, she didn't have a big reaction at first, but she was a little upset in her heart.

After all, the two of them are at the ambiguous stage at most, not even boyfriend and girlfriend.

Not even holding hands yet.

When she endured her discomfort, she picked up one of the "Los Angeles Times" and read it.

She discovered that the heroine who had an affair with Abel this time.

The name is Peggy Morgenthau.

Ikana was no longer so calm.

Abel didn't know what the name Peggy Morgenthau meant in East Coast celebrity circles.

Because of this name, it never appeared in the newspapers of New York and the East Coast.

But for Ikana and the others in this circle.

The name Peggy Morgenthau was not unfamiliar to them at all.

Not to mention thunderous, it is also very famous.

Ikana's label of "other people's child" still has a bit of bragging in it.

Peggy Morgenthau is in the circle of the rich and powerful in New York, and the circle of their ladies.

That's really "other people's children", the kind that doesn't have any bragging elements.

This is a man who finished high school at the age of eight, entered Harvard at the age of nine, went to Yale Law School at the age of 11, and became a law professor at the age of 14.

Since she was a child, she was a talented girl like the heroine Peggy in the American drama "Little Sheldon" that had not yet appeared at this time.

The key is her origin, which is much better than Peggy played by Mckenna Grace.

The only difference is that Peggy Morgenthau studied law and the legal profession.

The complicated legal provisions and legal research in the United States are not inferior to any natural science discipline in the world.

With Peggy's genius, entering this field, all she can do is to be better than other geniuses in terms of memory and comprehension.

Such a person is almost at the highest level in the food chain of the celebrity circle on the east coast.

There was an affair with Abel. Ikana didn't believe it at first, but then felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

She couldn't wait to read it immediately.

After reading this newspaper, she frowned beautifully, and took a few related reports from other newspapers to read.

It's okay if you don't look at it, the more you look at it, the more irritable you feel.

Because if you follow what these newspapers say.

Abe Smith and Paige Morgenthau are getting married tomorrow!

This made Ikana very upset.

Even if she knew that the reports in these newspapers were all exaggerations, 90.00% of them were false.

Because Abel and other rumored girlfriends, these newspapers also reported that
Meet the models, the actors, even Amanda Hearst, who had previously appeared at the banquet in New York and had been intern at Abel's for a week.

Ikana didn't feel anything special.

It's just a chicken and a dog!

Vulnerable.

However, this time it was replaced by Peggy Morgenthau, the real "other people's child".

Peggy Morgenthau crushed her no matter in terms of family, background, or IQ.

Ikana felt a little guilty.

The result of her guilty conscience was to make her a little irritable.

Let her now, can't wait to meet Abel.

Even though she came to Los Angeles this time, it was apparently for "YKM" business.

According to the scheduled itinerary, she will meet several YKM store managers in Los Angeles and San Francisco at noon.

Now, she has decided to ignore these for the time being.

Go to Abel first to see if Peggy Morgenthau is really with him.

In the VIP lounge at the airport, she put the newspapers back where they belonged.

Ikana dragged her suitcase and hurriedly left the airport accompanied by her assistant.
