This villa was bought by Alice when she first came to Los Angeles to start a business. At that time, Beverly Hills was not called Beverly Hills, nor was it known as the most prestigious residential area in the world. Even Hollywood was only a gathering place for photography enthusiasts back then, far from becoming the world's film and television palace.
It could be said that at that time, this was an opportunity to create the American dream. Alice took advantage of the opportunity and relied on accumulation to develop the scale of Angel Media today.
Alice's net worth was not made public. Otherwise, she would definitely be in the top five of the forbes personal rich list. Although there were people in the United States who were richer than her, there were definitely not many. In other words, Alice was one of the richest women in the world.
At this time, the girls began to visit Alice's house. They were very interested in this place that only the rich could afford to live in. Perhaps they were even fantasizing about owning a villa like this in the future.
Alice sat on the sofa in the living room and smiled at the three girls who were running around the villa excitedly. She sighed at her lost youth.
" Hey, Alice, why is your smile so…" Carolyn noticed the smiling Alice and felt a unique aura from her. She wanted to find an adjective to describe her, but after a long time, she finally said,""Why are you smiling like my mother?"
Alice was speechless.
Elena burst out laughing.""You have the same feeling. When we're at home, she sometimes makes me feel the same way.”
Bonnie became interested in this topic and asked them curiously,""Can you describe it in detail?"
Elena said," It's like the kind smile of an elder looking at a junior.”
Carolyn nodded repeatedly, indicating that Elena was right.
Alice was speechless.
Bonnie turned her gaze to Alice, who was full of black lines, as if she wanted to find the expression of " smiling like my mother " on her, but she didn't see it.
" A truly brave person should be able to endure the most embarrassing honor and disgrace with wisdom. He should not care about the honor and disgrace outside his body and avoid unnecessary disasters with a peaceful attitude.”Alice borrowed a famous quote from William and insinuated.
Her self-deprecating words made the girls giggle.
Carolyn was smiling happily as she looked around the wine cabinet in the living room. She asked Alice,""These words seem to be quite philosophical. Alice, it turns out that you have the talent to be a poet.”
There was no shakespeare in this world, and everyone thought that Alice's words were original.
So Alice said again,""Fools think they are smart, but smart people know they are idiots.”
"Are you calling me stupid?" Caroline blinked.
Bonnie and Elena laughed even more happily. The former even jeered,""Whoever answers is an idiot.”
After that, Alice arranged a room for each of them. They went to their respective rooms to pack their luggage. Alice called the private chef and asked her to prepare a sumptuous lunch for them.
The chef was also a beauty. Her name was Castie. She was a little older than the driver, Eliza. She was about 30 years old and was a very beautiful lady. Although she was a private chef, she was only working part-time. Her main job was a failed author. She had tried to write novels with various subjects, but they all failed. The remuneration she received as an author was not as high as the salary of a part-time chef at Alice's place.
Just as Alice was instructing Lady Castie about lunch, Elena tidied up the room and went downstairs. She saw Alice talking to a very intellectual and beautiful lady, so she walked over curiously. After hearing the content of their conversation, she realized that this intellectual woman was Alice's personal chef. This made Elena sigh at the super-rich side of her cousin.
After Castie left the house and went to the nearby supermarket to buy ingredients, Elena said,""Personal chef, personal chauffeur, let me guess, is there a personal butler, maid, and so on?”
" I used to have a maid," Alice said with a smile." But she quit after she got married and got pregnant.”
"There really is! Tell me honestly, what is your family's wealth level in Beverly Hills? Aren't you an influential figure in the circle of noble ladies?”Elena asked. Elena was considered an influential figure in Mystic Falls High School, the queen of the school. However, that position was snatched away by Carolyn when Elena was not in school. As an influential person, she naturally had a vision of what the higher circles were like.
At this time, Caroline and Bonnie also went downstairs. When they heard Elena ask Alice this question, they all became interested and sat on the sofa in the living room to look at her.
Alice didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she was stared at by three pairs of shining eyes. Instead of answering Elena's question, she asked,""Do you want to hear the truth or lies?”
"How do you lie? How can I tell the truth?" Elena expressed that she wanted to hear both the truth and lies.
"The lie is that I'm just an ordinary rich girl. I'm not involved in the circle of noble ladies. The truth is, all the young ladies of the same age living here in Beverly Hills follow my lead. I'm the well-deserved queen here.”Alice seemed to be shy when she said the first sentence, but when she said the second sentence, she directly revealed her dazzling fashion queen side, as if she had become the brightest star in the night.
The three girls were dumbfounded. This was Beverly Hills. Those who could live here were either Hollywood stars or super-rich tycoons. Alice said that even among her peers in this circle, she was a queen-like figure. This really surprised them.
"You've hit me." Carolyn said with some frustration. As the queen of her hometown high school, she realized that compared to Alice, she was like a country bumpkin. This was too depressing.
In fact, Elena was also shocked by this " cousin ". Only Bonnie, as a beautiful black girl, had never thought about the title of campus queen. She was the calmest one.
"Morality and talent are far better assets than wealth. Fallen descendants could corrupt a noble family and destroy the property of a rich man, but morality and talent could make a mortal an immortal god.”In order to comfort the two women who had suffered a blow, Alice began to write again.
Hearing her words, the three women couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Thank you for your comfort. Alice, are you really not an invisible poet? Or are all the socialites in the top circle as good at speaking as you? That's too philosophical." Elena said.
"What a joke. How can everyone be as good as me? I'm different from those people who love to gossip all day and constantly flaunt their fashion. I'm just me, fireworks of different colors.”
