Chapter 411 A Hearst(1/2)
Just a few short times together, Simon and Janet could realize that Sophia's daughter, Little Gemma, is definitely the kind of girl with a very cute and charming spirit.
After transferring from Switzerland to the East Coast of the United States, the little girl met a large group of friends at school in just over half a year.
Sofia chose a private school for Little Gemma. There were only a dozen children in a class. The original invitation to birthday parties was mainly these little guys.
However, Little Gemma, who had a "broad friendship", personally determined more candidates for invitations, and in the end, the number of children reached more than 30. In addition to the parents who accompanied him, the number of people immediately reached nearly 100. This is why Sophia had to borrow the Simon and his wife's manor to hold a birthday party.
When the day was dark, the manor in the northern suburbs of Greenwich was decorated with lanterns, toys, dolls and balloons, as a dreamy scene like a children's playground. Even the maid team led by Alice changed into a warm-toned cartoon costume.
The party has the same theme as the documentary to be played tonight, "Ice and Snow World", and the costumes everywhere on the scene are related to this.
A movie screen was also erected on the lawn outside the main villa to play the documentary Janet gave Little Gemma a birthday gift.
As the children continue to arrive, the manor becomes more and more lively.
As the most famous wealthy area on the East Coast, there are countless wealthy businessmen, politicians and social celebrities living in Greenwich. These weekdays often have to rush to the top of Manhattan’s busy pyramids, which naturally have more sensitive information channels.
Sofia is a senior executive of the Westeros system. Melisandra, who controls one of the "four women" of Westeros. The manor that holds a birthday party belongs not only to Westeros, but a young man happens to be on the East Coast in recent days.
So, for the carefree children, the party is just for fun. But for the children's parents, it is obviously a very rare opportunity to get in touch with Westeros.
Patiently playing with a group of mothers with the children, looking up inadvertently, seeing Simon who was socializing on the other side, Sophia felt satisfied again.
About tonight, everyone knew that she was Simon Westeros’ lover.
And he is a true lover, not the kind of dewy marriage that only has a few nights of joy.
But, so what?
Lovers are also divided into grades.
How many people in this world can be as dazzling as him?
How many more women can find a lover who is willing to come out to socialize with his children’s birthday party like a male host?
Perhaps the ladies around who smiled at her at this moment would chew a few words in private.
However, from some of the fluctuating eyes that occasionally look at the young man, most of these delicate women who are only vassals of powerful men will only be envious and jealous in their hearts.
Just occasionally turning these thoughts, Sophia quickly turned her attention to the children.
Two children are the most important to her.
Games, play, blowing candles, singing birthday songs, eating delicious food, and finally it was the turn of playing "Ice and Snow World". Because of the theme of the party tonight, a large group of little guys were obviously looking forward to it.
In order to match the children's patience, the 90-minute version that is about to enter the theater has been cut to only 50 minutes, and more are penguin shots that children like very much.
When the lights in the courtyard were dim, a group of little guys snuggled in their mothers' arms on the lawn turned their attention to the big screen.
The men had been socializing for more than an hour, and they were standing or sitting around the periphery. Some men simply walked over to sit with their wives and children.
When Morgan Freeman sounded with some dubbing that could calm people's hearts, the surroundings became completely quiet.
At a dining table on the edge of the crowd, Sophia was seen walking over, and the men who were still chatting with Simon walked away consciously.
Seeing Sophia sitting next to her, Simon smiled and looked in the crowd and asked, "Why don't you stay with your children?"
"They both of them are watching movies and don't need to be with them all the time."
Sophia's tone was gentle.
As he said this, his body was hit on Simon, looking like he was not shy about it.
Simon just smiled, smelled the fragrance of the woman beside him, picked up the juice in front of him and took a sip, turning his attention to the big screen.
Sophia didn't deliberately look for any topics, but just sat with the man and looked at the big screen, occasionally asking a few questions to little Gemma, and Simon also answered casually.
However, this warm atmosphere did not last long.
Some people still walked towards this crowd, but there was a mother and daughter.
Simon waited for them to walk in, looked at his little girl with a bright eyes, and greeted the woman holding the child's little hand with a smile: "Ms. Hurst, is there anything?"
When Little Gemma invited the guests, she was naturally just a child's character, but Sophia sorted out a list of guests tonight for Simon in advance.
Of course, Simon's current status does not require too much deliberateness to make friends with anyone. However, after all, it is Greenwich, and there are still many people worth getting to know.
When I first saw the list of guests, Simon noticed a very familiar name: Lydia Hurst.
Just by listening to your last name, you will know what this name means.
The last time about ESPN equity, the Simon and the Hurst family had some conflicts. However, of course, he would not take his anger on a child because of this.
Moreover, Simon also knew that the Hurst family was now in power by the second son of William Hurst.
Lydia Hurst's maternal grandfather is Randolph Hurst, the fourth son of William Hurst's six children. Although Randolph Hurst also owns a large number of shares in the Hurst Group and is rich in wealth, it does not have much real power in the entire Hurst Media Empire.
Patty Hurst pulled his daughter and sat down on the other side of Simon, and heard this and said, "Lydia wants to know you, Simon, she admires you very much."
"Oh, it's a great honor," Simon said, reaching out to the beautiful little girl like a doll: "Hello, Miss Hurst."
In theory, Lydia Hurst should have followed her father's last name.
However, because of the prominent family background of the Hurst family and the husband Patty Hurst married after the incident in the 1970s, the party tonight did not even appear. The little girl in front of her continued to inherit the surname of her mother.
Lydia Hurst, who is also only seven or eight years old now, just like Simon remembers that she was adult, has already shown signs of a beauty embryo.
The little girl was not nervous, and looked at Simon curiously with beautiful eyes and said politely: "Mr. Westeros, can I participate in your movie?"
Instead of responding directly, Simon asked, "Have you seen my movie?"
The little girl nodded: "I've seen it, um, "Running Lola", "Reaper" and, um, "Pulp Novels."
Simon couldn't help but look at the woman behind the little girl.
These movies shouldn't be for seven or eight-year-old children to watch?
Lydia Hurst noticed Simon's gaze, turned his head to look at his mother, then looked at Simon again, and said, "Mom is also your movie fan."
When he heard his daughter suddenly mention her and saw the young man looking over again, Patty Hurst seemed to have some shame flashed across his face, but he did not refute. He nodded slightly and said, "I prefer "Pulp Novels."
Simon couldn't help but remember the experience of the woman in front of him again.
In the 1970s, Patty Hurst was kidnapped by a terrorist organization, which caused a sensation in the entire United States.
Then, what was even more sensational was that after being kidnapped for a period of time, the pride of the Hirst family suddenly released a video and announced that they would join the terrorist organization.
Then he really "practices" and participated in many gun robberies in succession.
After several twists and turns, Patty Hurst was sentenced to 35 years in prison after a long trial.
Even if Randolph Hurst and his family do not have much real power within the Hurst family, it is impossible for the children of the Hurst family to be in 35 years in prison.
But after staying in prison for a short period of time, President Carter, who has always been known for his fairness and integrity, made an exception to sign a pardon for Patty Hurst, who was quickly released from prison.
In order to avoid moral accusations from public opinion, the Hurst family also specially created momentum in the media, which has always been controversial in the psychology community, has been completely identified and has become a well-known psychological phenomenon.
At this time, when he heard Patty Hurst say that he liked "Pulp Novel", Simon felt that the crazy genes in this woman's bones were probably deeply rooted.
"Mr. Westeros?"
The crisp childish voice interrupted Simon's thoughts.
Noting that Lydia was still looking at herself, obviously waiting for the answer to the question just now, Simon no longer paid attention to a woman who might still be 'momented' deep inside, she smiled and looked at the little girl, saying, "Lydia, you can call me Simon."
"So, Simon, can I participate in your movie?"
Simon shook his head and smiled, "It's not possible now. I won't direct the movie myself for a long time."
The little girl was suddenly a little disappointed, looked at her mother pitifully, and then turned her head and looked at Simon pitifully.
All right.
This little look is really lethal.
Moreover, for some reason, Simon still felt that the little guy's expression might be pretending.
Recalling the little girl's appearance when she grew up, compared to what to describe now, Simon thinks there is a very appropriate word: the little witch.
Because when the little girl doesn't speak, her mouth will look very small, and her big eyes will definitely be the doll level that makes people want to reach out and pinch it. However, once she opens her mouth, especially when she smiles, her mouth will grin in a straight line, her teeth will be exposed, and she looks full of evil spirits.
And, Simon is sure that this is not an illusion.
In the fragmented memories, Simon discovered that when Lydia Hurst grew up, he often played in some very heavy-tasting B-level films, and was often the kind of tragic death.
There seems to be a movie where Simon can't remember the name. The movie probably tells a story similar to a Resident Evil. People infected with the virus will falter like walking dead bodies. Lydia Hurst plays one of the zombies, who was chopped on the head by an axe, and they are terrible all over, but they are still chasing the male protagonist tirelessly.
Thinking about it now, after glanced at Patty Hurst again, Simon inexplicably felt that he had a mother and a daughter.
Now that I find myself pretending to be pitiful, Simon Westeros doesn't plan to make a movie anymore. How can this work?
The little girl felt that she should work harder, so she reached out her little hand and grabbed Simon's big hand and shook it gently, and acted skillfully and looked coquettish.
However, Simon, who happened to turn his attention to Lydia Hurst, this time he keenly captured the cunning flashing in the little girl's eyes.
"So," Simon smiled and said, "Although I don't have plans to shoot a movie for the time being, my company has many films that can provide you with roles. Do you want to act?"
The little girl blinked and asked, "What movie is it?"
Simon thought for a while and said, “How is the sequel to “Home Imposses”?”
The little girl immediately showed an uninterested expression. The pitiful Xixi just now disappeared without a trace, shook her head and said, "It's so boring, that's something for the children."
Hearing the little girl's words, the three adults couldn't help laughing.
