The Goddess Shines on America

Fifteen Vinton Street, Culver City, Los Angeles.

In the living room, James kept smoking one cigarette after another, and the newspaper was almost torn apart. Although it was the golden time of television, none of the family was interested in watching the show. Hannah and Sophie were upstairs, and the kitchen was still off.

After a while, there was a low roar of motors outside the house. James immediately put down the newspaper and walked quickly towards the entrance.

"Alice?"

He walked out of the house, just when the Bugatti was slowly driving into the garage, the roof was open, Sissy was sitting in the co-pilot, and Alice quickly parked and yelled: "Dad, how is Oscar? "

"Asleep, your mother and Hannah are upstairs." James cut off the cigarette butt.

The sudden phone call, the sudden situation, the knife robbery on the way home from school, it was just too scary. As soon as Alice heard the news, she immediately took Sissy with her and flew back to her hometown. The long-distance call also quickly explained the situation clearly. Oscar was actually injured.

"Leaving the hospital so soon?" Pulling out the car keys, she took James' hand into the room, and Alice kicked off her shoes. Sissy followed behind in a steady manner, bending over and lowering her head to slip on her slippers honestly.

"The motor was too loud when you came back just now." Hearing the sound of leather boots falling to the ground, James put his daughter in the back and did not forget to remind: "Oscar has fallen asleep."

Qianqian followed behind melodiously: "Fortunately, it's a minor injury, and you can recover quickly with more rest."

James sighed.

Alice walked upstairs lightly. There was not much sound in the whole room, but she probably heard the sound of her coming home. Just as she went upstairs, the door of Oscar's bedroom opened.

"Oh, Vivi."

Sophie stepped forward and hugged Alice: "You are back, I miss you so much!"

Alice patted her mother on the back, and she could see the bedroom from here. Hannah was standing by the bed, of course Oscar was lying on the bed with a bandage on his head, and some well-packaged chocolates were piled up on the bedside table.

"Oh, it seems that Oscar is very popular." She smiled and patted Sophie on the shoulder and walked into the room: "Hey Hannah, I'm back."

"Hush~" My sister raised her finger obediently: "Oscar just fell asleep!"

Girls have a sweet tooth. Alice glanced at the chocolates, but the first thing she saw was not a girl who might have a crush on her brother, but Ashley's signature. Milan's career really made her feel a little overwhelmed, but fortunately, she was able to keep up with her studies.

Alice followed suit and sat on the edge of the bed. I haven't seen him for two months. Of course, my brother is still the same, but the bandage on his forehead really adds a tragic atmosphere to him.

Sissy also followed, standing at the door and looking inside: "Hey, Ellie, is he asleep?"

Sophie stood aside and sighed: "Blunt force injury, I've been having headaches for the past two days, Sissy, you don't have to worry about waking him up, the doctor ordered him to take sleeping pills every time before going to bed."

Alice sat on the edge of the bed and took a closer look. She didn't need to remove the gauze, and she could tell what the wound inside was like after a single wipe. It's exactly what Dad said on the phone. It's the typical mark left by the back of the ax hitting the back of the head. It's really creepy to think about it. A robber who is over six feet tall and wields an ax...

At the same time, Sissy was comforting Sophie at the door.

After a brief look, Alice walked out of the bedroom, not disturbing her brother's sleep, and the whole family and Sissy went to the living room together.

"The police are hunting for the robber." James spread out the newspaper and said, "They say that is a serial robber that LAPD has been hunting recently. He is more than six feet tall, masked, and has a one-handed axe. These are his obvious characteristics. And Oscar is really lucky, several of his previous victims were actually chopped."

Sissy sat on the side grinning her teeth, and Alice sat next to Hannah, frowning and said: "I didn't say clearly on the phone, why did Oscar show up near Southern California in the middle of the night? The law and order there has never been good." How good."

Speaking of this, the whole family sighed.

"It's a big boy." Sophie smiled wryly: "It's okay to go out with those friends in his school. I've seen those boys all the time. They are all very nice people. But Alice, you know, a group of high school students When there is no time to be honest, it is normal to stroll outside all day, so..."

"Oscar is very famous in school, of course, so am I." Hannah interrupted suddenly, she held Alice's hand and said: "Alice, you have been studying in England for the past two years and I don't know much about you. Tell me, isn’t it because you are famous, almost everyone in the school knows that we are your younger brother and sister. Tell me, is it possible that some student happened to know the robber and wanted to grab Oscar?”

Sophie exclaimed in shock: "Hannah!? Where did you come up with this idea? How can you guess your classmates like that?"

"Hannah's not impossible." James said, giving his younger daughter an encouraging smile: "After all, although Lincoln High School was built with private investment, it is now a public school, and the quality of students is no different from other ordinary public schools. Sophie, don't tell me that Lincoln doesn't have any students who smoke marijuana, and UCLA can randomly pick a group out of more than 10,000 people, and I have a lot of experience."

Everyone smiled wryly, and Sophie rolled her eyes as she sat in her seat, obviously recalling her high school career. At the end, she smiled wryly and shook her head, "Let's not talk about public schools, how can there be no private schools? But there are people in Lincoln who knew serial robbers and hooked up to rob her classmates... God, James, don't forget that he is very Most likely, they are Oscar's friends!"

The couple got involved in the discussion of related topics, and Hannah interrupted from time to time. Of course, everyone controlled the volume.

"Aunt Sophie," Sissy interjected, followed halfway around the world and didn't immediately go back to her home, of course she didn't come here to make soy sauce: "On the way back, I talked with my dad on the phone, and he made a suggestion .”

Sophie raised her eyebrows: "Suggestion? Roger told you? He's really not in Los Angeles these two days. What's the matter?"

Sissy shrugged and said: "He just suggested that you should move to an elite community. After all, isn't there such an old saying in China that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Although the environment here on Wenton Street is very good, it is only It's just a very ordinary middle-class area, we can talk about a little money, but after reaching the level like Alice..."

As she spoke, she looked at Ji You helplessly.

Alice pointed to her nose: "You mean, it's my fault that Oscar was beaten with a sap this time?"

Sissy shrugged cooperatively: "Hmm~"

The girls naturally started to fight again, Sophie had to remind them to keep their voices down, and James nodded in agreement: "It makes sense. Actually, when you think about it, we don't have any reason to live on Wenton Street all the time. , even considering Oscar and Hannah's academic problems, it doesn't prevent us from changing to another neighborhood. Oscar is now starting to take his driver's license test, so it doesn't matter if he lives a little further away."

"Oh, yes, yes!" Alice snapped her fingers: "After this kid also has a driver's license, he will definitely not drive the Cadillac you two have. When I graduate from Eton next year, it happens to be Han When it’s time for Na to buy a car, she will buy four at a time, how can I let it go!?”

Hannah looked left and right, with a cute expression on her face: "So? We are moving soon? So soon? I want to say goodbye to the friends nearby?"

Of course it’s not enough to say goodbye, and it’s the late 1980s, but when it comes to moving, this proposal can really be settled. Even Sissy nodded in agreement and said: "If you want to get out, get out, get out together, anyway, I have to go to university after Eton, and then I will definitely not know that I will be the CEO of Alice's company. I want to buy another house!"

"Hey~" Alice's eyes widened: "CEO? Just you? I said Sissi, you have a lot of ambitions, and you actually want to be a CEO as soon as you graduate? Are you sure you don't want to start as a copycat clerk first?"

"Following clerk!?" Sissy's eyes also widened, and she looked like she was on the verge of strife: "I'm an Etonian alumnus, a heavenly girl who can be admitted to Harvard Business School, how dare you ask me to start as a clerk from a young age! ?”

"Oh, what about the girl of the sky~" Alice sneered: "I don't know who was called an all-nighter when Coyton was called, and this is also called the girl of the sky? Like me, with eyes closed It’s good to get full marks, isn’t it?”

"Oh yes, the girl of heaven~" Sissy hummed, squinting her eyes, but when she looked back at Sophie, she immediately calmed down: "Auntie, do you know? Alice is in London right now The secretary Monica I recruited actually has an MBA degree, it's scary!"

"Is Alice hiring a secretary?" This topic is of interest to any man, especially when James can hear that the other party is a woman: "Monica? MBA degree? That's amazing, she's in charge of the umbrella now?"

Sophie glanced at her husband, and Alice swore that she definitely saw a threat in it~

"Ahem." In order to avoid family wars, Alice quickly changed the subject: "By the way, where is Uncle Roger now? Now that I've returned to Los Angeles, I really have a lot to talk to him about about DreamWorks. "

"Roger went to San Francisco for vacation." James waved his hand and said, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow. Ha, when he comes home, let's be surprised. It's just a trip to another place. How come there will be an extra daughter in the family when he comes back?" !?"

Sissy giggled, and then went to the stairs, for fear that the sound downstairs would wake up the poor boy.
