"What! Caroline is gone?!"
Jack's ears were buzzing.
"Why? Didn't we have a good chat last night?" Rachel felt a little uncomfortable: "Does Caroline dislike us?"
"She just has her own life plan." Jack picked his ears, fortunately, he was not deaf.
"You should persuade her to stay, Jack, she is more..." Rachel squeezed into Jack's arms, thinking of her experience at that time. Fortunately, she still had Monica, who could convince others to accept her, but Caroline now may not even find a place to stay.
"Don't worry, she is an adult, we should respect her choice, and I have prepared a little gift for her." Jack patted Rachel's back to comfort her.
'Caroline is different from you. '
Of course, he didn't dare to say this.
"You won't give Caroline money, will you? You know what she needs right now is not... Well, she does need money, but giving her money after making out with her ex-girlfriend in trouble will definitely break her heart."
"No, compared to money, I gave her something she needs more right now, a pink electric anti-wolf stick."
"What girl would like such a parting gift, you are such a bastard..." Rachel said contemptuously.
Jack laughed: "I think she likes it very much, and she even asked me to bring you some gifts."
Hearing this, Rachel's heart was swept away, and her eyes lit up instantly. It is always happy to receive gifts.
"Except for the mace I left for her, she gave you everything in her luggage. You know she could only take five items out of the villa, so she didn't have anything valuable."
The little explanation instead caused Rachel to roll her eyes: "If it weren't for your face, I would definitely spit in every cup of your coffee."
"Am I the kind of person who gets unhappy because of cheap gifts... Oh my God! Ralph Lauren 50% off coupons! Chanel winter 70% off coupons... And... Dior's new product free trial coupons!!!"
Rachel was seen dancing with a stack of discount coupons in her hands, as if she had won the first prize.
"Oh, Caroline was going to throw it away."
"These discount coupons are still indefinite!! Do you know that if other girls know you have these things in your hands, you can definitely make them do anything you can imagine for you!" Rachel pinched her face in disbelief.
"So, should you and I..."
"Dear, in that case, we should talk about it after the strong smell of Clive Christian No. 1 on you fades away..."
Looking at Rachel drifting away, Jack touched his nose awkwardly. The phone in his pocket rang, and he picked it up and said, "Go ahead."
"Go home tonight."
Listening to the deep male voice coming from the other end of the phone, Jack couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smiled, "Oh, dear."Uncle Kude, I have a small party tonight and can't leave..."
"Yeah."
Before he finished speaking, the phone was busy. Jack, who was used to it, didn't care. After thinking for a moment, he still made a call.
.....
Kude Morgan hung up the phone and pressed the white phone on the table. In just two seconds, a sweet female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Kude."
"Rhonda, tell Thomas that Jack will not be home for dinner tonight. Make me a cup of coffee. "
After the neat explanation, Kud returned his mind to the documents on the table.
After the merger with Dean & Witt, an investment bank under Sears, his workload increased a lot, but he was only 47 years old this year and still in his prime, so he had no difficulty in dealing with it.
The sexy secretary Rhonda knocked on the door gently, but there was no response. Having been with Kud for several years, she knew her boss's habits well and did not disturb him. She just quietly put the coffee on the table.
The folders are divided into black and blue, representing two people with different personalities.
The one using black is John Michael, who is reliable, but strict and tough.
The one using blue is Pei Xiliang, a An interesting young man with wonderful ideas, he is very similar to his nephew Jack.
This is an investment report on the real estate industry. The two people's views are surprisingly consistent. There is no conflict between the two people, but a big ship can only have one captain.
After a long silence, Kud still put the black folder in front of him.
The clock on the wall pointed to 4:30. Kud got up and drank a sip of cold coffee. Through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, he looked down at the whole New York.
I don't know if it was the phone call just now, but Jack's cynical look came to his mind, reminding him of what Jack said more than ten years ago.
'The future is the world of the Internet. '
"Maybe." Kud drank the coffee, walked to the desk, changed the black folder to a blue one, picked up his suit jacket and walked out of the office.
.....
"Welcome home, Mr. Kud. "
Kude got out of the car, took off his coat and handed it to the housekeeper Pop, but he saw that the usually quiet villa seemed a little noisy today.
"That bastard boy is back?" Kude was surprised. Only when that playboy came home could he make such a commotion.
Pope put away his suit and smiled, "Yes."
Walking through countless exquisite works of art, in the spacious hall of the villa, his one-year-old daughter Epps was riding on the neck of the blond young man and laughing silly.
"Hey! Uncle Kude, long time no see!" Jack waved to Kude who came in, and turned around to pick up his cute sister again.
"Is your party cancelled?" Kude sat down on the sofa, looking at his little daughter who was laughing so hard that her teeth were showing, and a soft light flashed in his heart.
It seemed that he hadn't teased his daughter for a long time.
"How can a party be more important than having dinner with my family?" Jack smiled and held Epps in Kud's arms: "Why don't I see Geralt and Mel?"
Epps reluctantly stretched out his hand to Jack, but couldn't break free from Kud, so he could only pull his father's blond hair in anger.
Kud glanced at Jack indifferently, turned back and said: "Pope, call Geralt and Mel not to come back tonight."
God knows where Jack will take Geralt and Mel to go crazy after they get home?
"Hey, dear Uncle Kud, I promised last time that I would not bring Geralt and Mel to the 'transformation party' again!" Jack said aggrievedly, his cousins were obviously having a lot of fun.
"You promised me last time that you would not bring Mel to the party again."
"Oh! I promised not to bring Mel to the 'Princess Quest Dragon Party'!"
"I don't know how the gentle and elegant Ganuo and the intellectual and beautiful Lilith gave birth to a shameless person like you. I have to consider whether to allow you to hug Epps."
"No, you can't..."
Looking at the two people bickering, Pop smiled. Only when Jack came back would this family be a little more lively.
'Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong'.
The antique clock in the living room made five clanging sounds, and a spirited white-haired old man appeared on the second floor and said in a low voice: "Like a child."
"Hey, dear grandpa! I'm back!" Jack waved to the old man who was coming downstairs and greeted him.
The old man was the head of the Morgan family of this generation, Israel Morgan.
"Father." Kud stood up with Epps in his arms.
"What? I haven't been home for a few months, and I need help to walk?" Israel said calmly with his hands behind his back.
"Hey, I haven't been home for a few months, so I have to please you." Jack scratched his head and smiled.
He wanted to teach this unruly grandson a lesson, but when he saw his playful face, he missed him. He had to snort coldly to express his "dissatisfaction" and let Jack help him downstairs.
Epps, who was just happy, turned cloudy as soon as she approached Israel, and burst into tears.
Israel was used to it. Since Epps was born more than a year ago, he has held her only a few times. It's not that Israel doesn't want to get close to his granddaughter, but the momentum he has developed over the years scares them.
Among so many grandchildren, only Jack dared to ride on him when he was a child.
Jack brought the crying Epps to him, and she stopped crying instantly. Feeling the breath of Jack, Epps smiled, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Seeing Epps fall asleep, Jack gently "stuffed" her into Israel's arms, which made the old man a little helpless. Looking at the cute little girl in his arms, the old man smiled rarely.
After the servants took the sleeping Epps to rest, they immediately began to prepare dinner. Not long after, cousin Geralt and Mel also came back.Here they are. Jack is a little famous at Harvard University. The two of them had heard a lot of stories about Jack while studying at Harvard, so they were naturally very surprised to see him.
Just when they wanted to ask Jack what plans he had tonight and whether he could take them out to have fun, they were glared at by their father. Knowing that there was no hope for the party, the two of them had to sit down at the table dejectedly.
"I heard that you have been asking about the whereabouts of the princess of the Channing family recently." Israel cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth.
Jack naturally knew that the old man was talking about Caroline. Martin Channing could cheat so much money because he was a powerful businessman and had a lot of business dealings with them, JPMorgan Chase.
"Yes, I just said goodbye to Caroline this morning." Jack drank a sip of wine, looked at the empty plate in front of him, and forked away the half steak that Geralt had not eaten.
"Hey!" Geralt stood up and was about to complain, but looking at his grandfather and his father who had a dark face beside him, he didn't have the courage to speak, so he could only sit down angrily, attracting his sister's contemptuous gaze.
"I suggest you draw a line between you and her. If this matter is exposed, it will have a big impact on us." Kud said.
The heir of a banker has an intimate relationship with the daughter of the biggest fraudster in the United States. If it is discovered and reported by the media, their stocks will plummet the next day.
Israel wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, did not speak, and just waited quietly for Jack's answer.
