    (Thanks to the alliance leader I Am a Bad Mermaid for their strong support of this book)

    In midsummer, Changdao ushered in the busiest period of the year.

    An hour¡¯s drive away, under the high-rise buildings in Manhattan, New York, there are still a lot of dark, narrow corners, crowded people, and stuffy air.

    ¡° On Changdao, surrounded by the sea on three sides, the sky is high and the sea is vast. There are various mansions, green trees and beaches, and there are people laughing and chatting.

    They are either artists, employees of technology companies, or wealthy bosses at all levels, fully embodying the American dream of "you are paralyzed if you don't have money."

    The petite and plump Elena held Luke's arm and strolled through a luxurious manor villa.

    At this moment, she was not wearing her usual loose clothes suitable for casual painting, but a close-fitting sapphire blue dress.

    Under the reflection of the setting sun, the snow-white skin lined with sapphire blue fabric exudes the texture of warm marble.

    Luke sent away the twelfth strange man who came up to chat with his girlfriend, not forgetting to mock his own gender: "Look, this is the bad nature of men."

    Elena couldn¡¯t help but curl up the corners of her mouth, looking very happy.

    It¡¯s not because she attracts the attention of many men, she just enjoys the feeling of someone supporting her.

    ??For a long time, the two of them rarely attended such large-scale parties. Most of the time they just wandered together in cities, villages, mountains, forests, and rivers, quietly enjoying the scenery that was so beautiful that it could be painted.

    And there is more than one reason for coming to this banquet tonight.

    ¡°One of them was the eldest lady of the Soderberg family, Lindsay Soderbergh, who sent an invitation to Elena.

    This eldest lady has been in New York State politics for several years now and will no longer personally act as an agent for "up-and-coming" painters.

    But she had made huge profits by successfully packaging and marketing Monroe Peterson (a psychotic painter), so there was no reason to give up this ready and safe way to make money.

    And as a politician who is not very likable, it is also good to add a little bit of artistic flair to improve his own style and increase his appearance.

    Therefore, Miss Lindsay¡¯s connections in the New York art circle were taken over by a gallery controlled by an offshore company, and the gallery¡¯s equity apparently had nothing to do with her.

    ¡°As long as various charities or trust funds are used, the gallery¡¯s income can be used to cover certain expenses that she needs to pay.

    ¡°Similarly, these expenses have nothing to do with her legally, thus avoiding a lot of political risks.

    The second reason is the woman walking over with Lindsay.

    This person was originally chatting with Lindsay about something, and was looking around for something from time to time.

    When she was more than ten meters away, she found Elena and the two of them, and they ran over with surprise on their faces. Even Lindsay had forgotten about them.

    "Elaine, didn't you say you were waiting for me at the beach?" This woman had the pitiful expression of an abandoned child.

    Elena smiled helplessly, feeling a bit like facing her silly daughter: "Mary (a nickname for Margaret), this is the seaside."

    Margaret (sister of female doctor Harley) turned her head and looked around in confusion: "Ah, is this the seaside? I always thought it was over there." As she spoke, she pointed her finger in the direction she came from.

    Elena slapped her forehead in a funny way: "This is the north of Long Island, how can you find the sea in the south!"

    Margaret suddenly realized and rubbed her forehead: "Oh, you're right, why didn't I think of it?"

    That¡¯s because you naturally lack a sense of direction!  Luke, who was watching from the sidelines, silently complained about this naturally stupid Bai Fumei.

    ¡°Well, okay, I can barely say that this is his sister-in-law.

    It's just that the concern from a brother-in-law like Joker will only make this silly Baitian tremble with fear, shrink behind her sister Harley, and then peek at him with the same movements as looking at the scary devil - the kind of person who rushes after just one look.  Move away, and then look again, never making eye contact anyway.

    Fortunately, this experience only happened once, and Harley never mentioned letting Joker go to see her sister again after that.

    Irina and Margaret are very close.

    They transferred to Parkland College in New Jersey to be art students at about the same time. They were rich, unambitious, simple-minded, and loved art. They were very similar, so there was no inherent conflict.

    Irina is more gentle, while Margaret is childish, and their personalities are complementary.

    More than ten years laterCome on, the two have already become hardcore besties.

    When Harley is out and about, Irina is on the list of people Margaret is allowed to trust - only people on this list can Margaret be alone with each other.

    Because of this, Elena¡¯s life has always been fulfilling.

    On average, Luke will come one or two days a week, and then Margaret will go away for two or three days. She only spends about half of her time alone.

    Occasionally, Irina would go camping with Luke to collect scenery, or go to the studio or photography studio with Margaret to complete various new ideas. Her life was peaceful and interesting.

    In fact, most ordinary Americans' entertainment activities are extremely scarce.

    The so-called party creatures, holiday camping, etc., are mostly to make up for the boring time most of the time.

    This is a so-called free country, and there is so-called personal privacy. Good friends can talk about anything, but only if the friend is willing.

    ¡°Just think about when Americans grow up, their parents generally only need to visit during the holidays.

    Parents can¡¯t control their children¡¯s personal freedom, so why should friends ask for it?

    Why are boy fraternities and girl sororities so popular in schools?  Many students who have just entered the school are willing to undergo various bizarre "entry tests" before joining them.

    It is because after joining, this kind of group activities has a sense of mandatory participation, which is more reliable than the relationship between so-called buddies and best friends.

    Of course, it¡¯s easy for a group of people to have fun together¡ªat least they can have fun with each other.

    This is also a big reason why the nerds and geeks in American schools always want to get into these small groups.

    In comparison, rich people are much better off.

    People who are greedy for their money will take the initiative to come to them. If they can pay for people to play with them, then it is not a problem.

    In a sense, tonight¡¯s party is an adult version of the ¡°pay to play¡± party.

    At most, the drinks have been replaced from cheap beer drinks to more high-end red wine, whiskey and champagne, supermarket wholesale food has become the work of a team of chefs, and the topic of conversation has changed from chasing stars to just playing with stars.

    Luke was distracted, and Miss Lindsay had already walked over with a smile, and came forward to give him a half-hug very affectionately: "Luke, it's been a long time since I last saw you. It seems like you're doing well?"

    Luke replied casually: "Lindsay, you are more charming."

    ¡°I¡¯ll leave this to your Elena.¡± Lindsay chuckled, not taking his words seriously at all.

    joke!  As a straight man, he didn't even respond to her private invitation once, so what does it have to do with how charming he is.
