America's Road to Wealth

Beep beep——

Under the deep night, the icicles formed by rain and snow rushed on his back along with the vigorous and powerful cold wind.

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

This is a 1987 built resort style beach house located in the Kings Point community of Great Neck, Long Island.

It is a relatively common building among Abel's many properties in New York.

But because of the bay where it is located, the deep blue water is a bit like the ocean in Los Angeles. After discovering this, it became Kayla's favorite Long Island villa. Apart from the Smith Tower, this is where she lived most.

It has been about two hours since we left JFK.

Abel and others have arrived here. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the warm mansion with brilliant lights, Keira, wearing a brown shawl, was standing with Abel, admiring the bitingly cold and raging snowstorm outside the window.

In the blizzard, a small convoy drove in.

Click——

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

Only then did Britney dare to take advantage of the situation and snuggle into Abel's arms, holding her little Atisia.

"Enough hugging, let's have a cup of hot chocolate coffee. It will make your body more comfortable."

After more than ten seconds, Keira's voice sounded.

Abel let them go, took the daughter in Britney's arms, walked towards Keira with a smile, and took the opportunity to hug Orlando, who was staring at the beautiful eyes and sleeping in the baby basket, with his other hand.

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

Seeing his action, Keira's gaze towards Britney and Avril softened a lot.

At this moment, there were only the four adults and two children in the magnificent and warm hall. The stronger the wind and snow outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the more comfortable Abel felt. Next to him were three women with their own merits and beauties, as well as children. These happiness and sweetness trickled into a river, which made him smile involuntarily.

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

Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears are still a little afraid of Keira, the little princess of California.

The little princess couldn't resist Abel's arrangement of them to her, but she wouldn't give them a good face.

Fortunately, Abel has long been used to this situation similar to the Shura field, and knows how to deal with it.

He took the initiative to put the topic on Keira's favorite Long Island villa.

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

"Hey, these furniture are all from Restoration Hardware, many of which are remade from antiques. I have selected many companies, and only RH's product style is the classic style of the early 20th century in the United States. The modern trend and the sensibility of the 21st century are perfectly integrated."

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

In fact, it hasn't been long since she set up this place. This is the first time for Abel to come here. After all, he has too many houses.

Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears, the two "little local girls" in the entertainment industry, took advantage of the opportunity to hold Altisia and Orlando and follow behind them, admiring Keira's proud arrangement together.

The walnut-colored furniture is dark and bright, exquisite hand-carved details, elegant and noble velvet sofa seats, exquisite curtain design, hand-made carpets on the floor, and luxurious crystal chandeliers...

Retro Simmons, elegant shell carving, leather soft bag, exquisite hand-woven rope to suppress the classic geometric effect, showing the luxurious temperament in comfort.

Blooming pink and white flowers adorn every corner of the mansion.

The pure hand-carved frame of the sofa chair, the noble blue and brown velvet chair surface, the flowery carpet, and the golden sequins on the cushions outline the charming charm, creating a noble and gorgeous beauty for the entire sofa rest area.

The decoration is so beautiful and luxurious that Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears couldn't take their eyes off it, and their hearts were fascinated.

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

When Avril asked how much it cost in a low voice, Kayla raised a finger, "It's about 100 million US dollars. Many of them are antiques. As long as they are not damaged, they may appreciate in value after a while."

Abel smiled and shook his head slightly, well, this California bitch is a bit of a prodigal.

The decoration and layout cost nearly 100 million U.S. dollars, and the value of this house is only more than 20 million U.S. dollars.

However, this flashy and extravagant style of the 1920s is really good, and Abel especially likes the luxurious Regency-style study and cigar room specially prepared for him by Keira.

Abel smiled and listened to the beaming Kayla introducing those unique crystal chandeliers. He stretched out his arms to embrace her plump waist after giving birth, and said with a chuckle, "I like it very much. Everything is perfect. It's like being in the Roaring Golden Age."

"Boom—"

"Heck, thank you for the compliment!" Keira happily kissed Abel's cheek. "Let's go, dinner is almost ready, and it's all your favorite food."

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

The two children who are about the same age are already asleep.

After hesitating for a while, Keira still said to the two: "There are still things you like to eat!"

The restaurant is also luxuriously decorated, but it is also more warm. The baroque crystal chandelier exudes a warm light. The middle of the large oval dining table is also full of blooming flowers. Abel and Keira sit at the two main seats. Bran Ni and Avril sat on both sides.

The children who had fallen asleep were sent to rest in the warm bedroom.

A series of delicacies were brought up, and eight waiters stood by the side all the time, serving the four of them at any time.

After dinner, the blizzard outside got bigger.

It was still early, and the children woke up again. Instead of nestling in the red and green right away, Abel went to work in the Regency-style furnished study.

Before reading a few briefings, David, the family butler, came in and said softly to him: "BOSS, New York is sure to have a power outage. The blizzard was so heavy that it covered almost the entire northeast coast. Except for New York, many people in the nearby states The same goes for cities."

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

He picked it up to check the number and found that it was Bloomberg.

"Hi, Mr. Mayor, good evening."

"Good evening, Abe, I heard that you are back in New York. There is a big snowstorm outside, and there is a power outage. It's better to be a little careful. It may take some time to recover this time. I think you know the efficiency of Con Edison. "

"Tsk tsk, the impact on Wall Street may not be small. Even if there is backup power, it is still inferior to the public network."

"No way, the blizzard was too big. And that's what Con Edison is like."

"Speaking of which, Michael. Is there any way for us to acquire Con Edison? I believe that if it is in my hands, it will surely guarantee the normal power supply in New York. In other words, if anyone does it, it may be better than Con Edison better. This company is as bad as its founders."

His words obviously silenced Bloomberg on the opposite side.

It took a few seconds for Bloomberg's voice to sound, "I'm afraid it will be difficult, Abel, even for you. And... Our action with Buffett is not over yet. If you extend your hand to the joint venture at this time Edison, it's hard to keep those people from going crazy."

"Haha... I just mentioned it. I also know that if I reach out at the same time, those people will definitely think that I want to officially declare war on them."

"It's good that you know. I won't talk to you anymore, and I'll be very busy next time. The weather is really hell. I hope nothing big will happen."

"Well, Mr. Mayor, go and do your own work. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Abel."

After hanging up, Abel held the satellite phone but didn't put it back to its original position, and didn't continue to read the business briefing on the screen. Instead, he stood up and walked around the study room, and finally came to the floor-to-ceiling windows, his vision was blocked Snowstorm outside the window.

After thinking about it, he said without looking back, "Call me Ms. Caroline."

David, who hadn't left all this time, lowered his head and picked up a satellite phone, and started making calls directly.

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

"Hi, Caroline. Good evening."

"Mr. Smith, good evening!"

"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 is activated, and the snow is too heavy outside, so we can't leave for the time being."

"Listen, Caroline, I have an idea."

Abel thought of himself admiring the blizzard outside just now, and suddenly thought of an idea in a flash, and told Caroline.

"...I think it's worth doing. Sending warmth in a snowstorm. It's more memorable than sending blankets when it's warm."

Caroline hardly hesitated, "I'll listen to you, sir."

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

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

"So be it. I'll get someone to assist you and get your campaign office to come up with a good plan."

"No problem, anyway, we can't go back for the time being. We can spend the whole night, all night to complete this task."

"Then... I wish you all the best, goodbye, Caroline."

"Good luck to you too, Mr. Smith. Goodbye."
