The RV was driving on the street at a constant speed, and the tall palm trees on both sides ran back under the light of the streetlights.
"Want a drink?" Sparrow took out two cups from the small refrigerator in the car and looked at Angela.
"Drinks? Oh, no, thank you." The girl came to her senses, shook her head with a smile, looked at the two golden statues in her hands, and suddenly sighed slightly.
"What's wrong? Unhappy?" After putting back a glass, the manager brought out a bottle of brandy and poured half a glass for himself, "You have two trophies, which is enough to make people look up, not to mention the gold content. Kevin Costner's record is already tied, and if it weren't for bad luck, maybe you could have won Best Original Screenplay, and you'd break another record, and they'd call you Miss Record Breaker."
"Really, in that case, Miss Record Breaker will be sent to the National Academy of Sciences after she leaves the music center, and then sliced and studied to see what she is!" Angela said teasingly, and Sparrow shook his head with a smile. Drain the brandy from the glass.
"I'm very satisfied with getting two golden statuettes. This is my affirmation. I'm still young. Maybe one day I can win all the statuettes at once, but I'm not sure." The girl smiled and said. He joked, followed by a hint of helplessness on his face: "Actually, I'm just thinking about what the newspapers will say tomorrow, especially those tabloids, who won nothing at the Grammys, they said that the jury has seen my true face. , this time, he won two awards in one go. They will probably say that Dad bought the jury, and talk about it. They are all talking. "
"On this point, Angie, I agree with Miss Julia, anyone you've worked with would not have that ridiculous idea, and the judges on the jury aren't idiots without judgment." Sparrow Shrugging his shoulders, "Besides, those are just tabloids. They use lace news to attract attention. They can't make a lot of waves. Mr. Jared sent someone to watch. If they cross the line, they will naturally be solved."
fix them? A scene suddenly appeared in Angela's head. Dozens of big men in black trench coats rushed into a certain tabloid office, flipped their clothes, and took out a Chicago typewriter. With a grin, he pulled the trigger at the stunned person inside, and then in the sound of bang bang bang, the woman screamed, the man crawled around, and the pieces of paper flew in the air...
The girl shuddered, did she watch too many gangster movies? How could such a bizarre idea come up? Also the Chicago Typewriter? This is not the 30's!
Perhaps his hatred of the tabloids has reached a level? Angela shook her head, but don't think about it. Otherwise, she would have to see a psychiatrist. Of course, she also knew that she hated tabloids so much for another reason...
Sparrow, who was sitting on the other side, shook his head when he saw the girl. I couldn't help but feel wrong, I thought about it and said, "The recent TV stations have all hoped to give you an exclusive interview, how about I agree?"
"Interview?"
"Yes, since you are worried about your image, then accept a few interviews and show yourself well." The agent said with his hands spread.
The girl thought for a few minutes, then nodded and shook her head: "It can be considered, but let's talk about it after tonight. Mom and Dad are still waiting for me."
The RV was already on Beverly Hills at this point. After being exposed. The reporters were finally happy to announce the girl's address, and the father decided to move out of Blenkert Street. Back to live in Beverly Hills, after all, Beverly Hills has a much higher safety factor, but Angela never liked the Beverly Hills house, it was too big.
The RV stopped at the door, and after the door opened automatically, it slowly drove in. The tall modern-style house was hidden in the green ocean, and the independent small rooms were scattered around. The middle of the courtyard was much larger than before. Fountains, houses and courtyards are more than two hectares.
"Welcome home." Jennifer opened the car door for the girl with a smile.
"Thank you, Aunt Jennifer." The girl jumped out of the RV with the golden statuette, handed it to the maid next to her, and then hugged the housekeeper and slapped her in the face.
"Congratulations, Angie, Madam has been watching TV, and even shed tears when you won the award." Jennifer said half-truth.
"Really? That's not like my mother." The girl said with a smile, and then said to the maid who was holding the trophy, "Can you help me get to my parents, Lucy?"
"Okay, miss." The maid who called Lucy nodded, turned and went into the house. Then Angela looked at Sparrow in the car again: "Want to be together? Jack?"
"There's no need for that, after all, it's your family banquet." The agent said with a smile and waved his hand.
"Alright then, David will take you back, bye." The girl nodded, moved away, and after the car door closed, she watched it go out the door, and then walked into the house with Jennifer.
The living room is decorated in a typical Mediterranean style, which is very spacious and comfortable. Behind the glass wall facing the living room is an oversized aquarium, which houses several dolphins and many ornamental fish in the ocean. Jared wanted to keep sharks, but his wife and daughter voted unanimously, so he had to give up.
Yes, Angela doesn't like it here.
The house here is too big, there are only 10 bedrooms, not to mention the bathrooms that are more than the number of bedrooms. In addition to the necessary rooms such as study rooms and restaurants, there are also gyms, cinemas, entertainment centers, and more. There are also three four-car garages outside, where there are several famous cars kept by my father, as well as the exclusive room for personal doctor Jason. Behind the chef's and maid's room, there's a tennis court, as well as an open-air swimming pool - as well as an indoor one.
The whole villa is full of modern atmosphere and is the masterpiece of famous designer Alan Dyer. But for girls, it's more like a hotel vacation, lacking that warm feeling, and the Brencott Street house is more like home. It's only better than Frent House in Bristol.
Soon, come outside the restaurant. When Jennifer opened the door for the girl, at the end of the long dining table, 8 glances came over, making Angela startled.
"Is this a welcome to me?" The girl shrugged and felt that something was wrong. Why are there 8 people in the room? But when she saw who the extra one was, she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"Don't do this. My dear, I'll be embarrassed." The tall man standing beside Uncle Frank and waving to her was actually Brian Benjamin, the godfather in New York.
"God, when are you coming here!" Angela jumped to the godfather, grabbed him in surprise and asked.
"When I got off the plane, it happened to be on your way to the music center, but don't worry, I watched the whole award ceremony." Brian said with a smile. Then he put on a puzzled look: "Aren't you going to give me a hug?"
"Oh, not anymore." Angela put her hands behind her back and said solemnly, "Mom said that I'm already a big girl now, so I need to be reserved and a lady!"
The serious appearance caused a lot of laughter, and Elena, who was sitting on the other side of the long table, couldn't help but increase her voice: "Chrissy!" However, the smile in her voice could not be concealed.
"Okay, okay," the girl raised her hands. Then he reached out to Brian, "Want a hug? My dear godfather?"
"Okay, Chrissy. Don't be naughty." Jared said with a smile at this time, then looked at the housekeeper at the door: "Jennifer, tell Walter, it's time to start."
After the other party nodded and left, he greeted again and said, "Okay, let's all take your seats."
"Mom, can I change my clothes first?" Angela suddenly looked at Elena and said.
"Of course, remember to hurry up." The mother nodded.
"Hey, honey. You're so pretty. Why did you change it?" Frank asked sarcastically, and Angela grimaced in reply. Then she ran out, and when she reached the door, she suddenly turned her head again: "Mom, can I drop by and see the two little guys?"
Elena sighed: "I really want to say no, Chris, but I know you'll sneak away even if I say so, so—don't wake them up!"
"Okay, I got it!" Angela replied with a smile, then ran with her skirt up.
After trotting upstairs for a while, the third room on the right was originally her own bedroom, but after hesitating, she went to the baby room first.
Gently opened the door, then turned on the wall light switch. Under the specially installed low-brightness light bulbs, Angela crept to the side of the two cribs that were next to each other, crawled on the edge and looked in. The chubby little guy is sleeping soundly, his eyes and mouth are completely carved with three slits on his face, he looks very cute.
The girl couldn't help but lightly touched their fleshy little cheeks with her fingers, and then covered her mouth with a chuckle. It's a pity that they were sleeping, but she nibbled on their cheeks one by one earlier. , the two little guys are also pestering her. Except for their mother, they are the closest to her, and even their father is behind.
A boy and a girl, the consequence of the mother not doing the gender check is that no one knows that it will be a pair of twins before giving birth! But this was a very big surprise. Everyone was very happy, including grandpa and grandpa. The two little guys inherited their father's eyes that were as black as the bottom of a lake. They were very beautiful. The little baby was really the most lovable , Of course, except when they were crying, thinking of this, the feeling of being unable to control the body a long time ago, and the only way to get attention by crying when you want to pee suddenly came out of her head strangely, Angela was alive and well. She shuddered and left quickly.
After coming out of her brother and sister's room, the girl went back to her bedroom. As soon as she entered the door, she kicked out the flat leather shoes on her feet, then took off her dress and threw it on the bed. She was wearing only small pants. He walked to the closet with his feet, opened it and took out the suits he usually wore.
Because of the rapid growth in height, these clothes are all newly made, and the original clothes have already been donated to charity. Angela gestured in front of the full-length mirror with her clothes, and chose a beige T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and white canvas shoes.
Looking in the mirror she was about to put it on. Suddenly I felt as if I had forgotten something, and after thinking about it, I looked at the girl in the mirror again. Then his eyes fell on his chest, and the original small steamed bun got bigger again, almost catching up with the big apple, probably with a B cup. Angela smiled bitterly with a sudden realization, threw her clothes on the bed, and then found a white bra with back button straps from the closet, and sighed and put it on herself. During the whole process, she had a bitter face as if she was tortured. In fact, as a woman, wearing a suitable bra is still very comfortable. Angela's reaction to this is completely psychological.
Looking at myself in the mirror, after putting on a bra, my chest really looks firmer, and I can't help but smile. Then she quickly put on her clothes and walked out. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back at the phone by the bed, sighed faintly, and ran away.
When they came to the restaurant, the parents had been waiting for a long time, and the mother gave her a slightly reproachful look: "You have been delayed for a long time. My dear."
"Sorry, Mom." The girl rubbed her little nose and said embarrassedly.
"Okay. We didn't wait long, didn't we?" Brian came out at this time to smooth the game, followed by looking at Angela in praise, and said, "It's still the best look, not as elegant as before, but better than lively, this is the best way to go. It's what a girl should be like!"
"Thank you godfather." The girl giggled and came to her mother's side and sat down.
Elena didn't say much, and clapped her hands lightly. Soon the servants started serving the dishes. During this time, the adults started talking again. The father is at the top, the mother and myself are sitting on the left, and the godfather and uncle are sitting on the right, so the father and the godfather, the mother and the uncle are talking about their own topics.
Angela couldn't help feeling a little bored, but looking at her uncle, there was always a look of worry between her brows, she rolled her eyes, and suddenly thought of a topic, taking advantage of the gap between the two of them chatting, she suddenly interjected with a smile: "Dear Uncle, when are you going to bring my future aunt? Do you want me to call her sister for the rest of my life?"
Frank's face was embarrassed and he was speechless. Elena, who was beside the girl, couldn't help but exclaimed, "Chrissy."
"It's okay, Mary, I really didn't handle this well." Frank spread his hands with a wry smile, "If only I were half as smart as I used to be, but now..."
"Okay, uncle, don't be so pitiful," Angela said with a chuckle, "I thought up another script for Sister Julia."
"Conceived a script?" Frank narrowed his eyes, still not fully understanding.
"Yes, it's called "My Best Friend's Wedding"!" The girl raised her eyebrows proudly. She bit the words "best", "friend" and "wedding" extremely hard.
Frank's eyes suddenly lit up, he grasped the contents, and said impatiently, "Can you tell me the content, dear?"
"Don't worry, uncle, I just have a rough idea, it will take a while to complete it." Angela said with a smile, and finally her face became straight: "I can only help you for this sake, uncle, you If there is any more indecision, there is no way.”
"Okay, I know what to do, but..." Frank shook his head helplessly, "I'm really ashamed to be called indecisive by you little guy!"
At this time, the appetizers had been served, and Jennifer poured them the Chardonnay 1984 cellared by Chateau Latour in France. Of course, Angela was still juice. Then Jared tapped the cup lightly: "Okay, it's just a small family dinner, so it doesn't need to be so formal, we are all family, so it's okay."
Following him, he raised the cup to his daughter: "Here, congratulations to my daughter, who won two Academy Awards trophies, and before that, your uncles and aunts have called to congratulate you. , and now I'm relaying for them, we're all so proud of you!"
Angela kept listening with a smile on her face, until she heard her father say "Your uncles and aunts are calling", the expression on her face darkened obviously, but then it returned to normal. The few people around, mother, godfather, and uncle all watched, but they didn't say anything. After Jared's speech, they raised a glass to her to express their congratulations.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Holding the juice, Angela stood up, her green eyes shining, "Thank you for your support, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to achieve this. I didn't thank you in the award speech. , because I know it's not in words. I just want to say, I love you."
Saying that, the girl left the seat, walked between her mother and her father, and kissed their faces fiercely, making the parents burst into laughter, and Brian and Frank couldn't help but put down their cups and laughed together. Palm up. Following the girls, they raised their cups generously and touched their cups, then raised their heads and drank the juice in one gulp. They looked so arrogant and dry that the adults couldn't help but chuckle again.
The family dinner was officially underway, and since he had already eaten before nightfall, Chef Walter made only a few home-cooked dishes, starting with a smoked guinea chicken salad. With hazelnuts, spring radishes, and green snake fruit, but because of the heavy taste, there is no Angela's, but a separate fruit salad prepared for her; then the main course is Alaskan flounder and prawns, with pinky potatoes, olive oil Tomatoes are dipped; the final dessert is French chocolate toast.
These are very common dishes, but they are still unusual when made by top chefs. For example, the smoked guinea chicken salad has some herbs added when it is smoked, and it has a unique flavor and an unforgettable aftertaste. However, during the entire meal, the girl seemed a little absent-minded, occasionally telling anecdotes about one or two awards ceremonies, but most of the time she quietly listened to the conversation between the adults.
After the meal was over, she took a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth. Angela stood up: "Mom and Dad, Godfather and Uncle, can I go back to the room?"
Jared and Elena looked at each other, and Mom nodded. Kissed her on the forehead: "Okay. Go, dear."
Angela smiled. Then he pretended to bow his knees to his godfather and uncle, and then ran out of the restaurant giggling as if happy.
It wasn't until the sound of her daughter's footsteps was gone that Elena and her husband looked at each other again and shook their heads gently together. Brian asked curiously, "Hey, is there anything I don't know?"
The couple spread their hands together and didn't speak. Brian had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, I know, you always treat me like this."
"It's not a big deal, Bly, they're just worried about Chris, you know, there was a lot of trouble some time ago," Frank explained.
"Do you need to worry about this?" Brian shrugged. "Are you all underestimating Chrissy? Although she is only 14 years old, I believe she will be able to mediate quickly."
"Yes, yes, I believe it too, and so do Mary and Jedi, but it's not the main thing, understand?" Frank, who had been developing his business in Los Angeles, knew better, "The key It's Angela's friends, the friends she values, understand, Bly?"
Brian closed his mouth. He had already understood that the appearance of the words wealthy family, royal family, and behind-the-scenes team would not have much impact on Angela and her friends, but...
"Hey, Mary, I think it's better to have a close playmate," Frank said suddenly.
"Frank, I remember we talked about this a long time ago and it's come to a conclusion..."
"Go to hell with your results, it's different now, I understand that you want to give her the life of an ordinary person, and you really did a good job, but since Kris entered the entertainment industry, the life of an ordinary person has changed. It's no longer suitable for her, she will face more challenges and difficulties, can you always be by her side to encourage her? She always has things she doesn't want to tell you." Frank waved and said.
"Wait, what's a close playmate?" Brian interjected.
"Simply put, it was chosen by the nobles for their children. Well, Shadow, who played together since childhood, grew up together, and studied together, is your best partner, your most loyal partner, and your closest relative other than your parents. Like my father's housekeeper, Mr. Gerrard, who grew up with him; and my current housekeeper, Lawrence, who grew up with me; Mary's agent, Ada, who handles European affairs for her Wait, almost everyone in our family has a partner like that," Frank explained to him.
"But it seems a little late now, Chris is 14 years old." Jared was a little moved.
"No, it's not too late, we can find a smaller one and raise the requirements, such as..." Frank was about to explain further, but was interrupted by Elena: "Okay, Frank, now is not the time to talk about this!"
After a pause, she said again, "I'll go see Chris."
