"It can be said that William Chen is the most popular figure in the United States in recent months. He has gone from being called a prodigal son to a super rich man. This inspirational experience has also been talked about. Some people have counted, so far, William Chen has used The funds for acquisition and investment are already close to 20 billion US dollars. I don't know if this time I bought the MGM company and will continue to be successful in the film industry where he has turned somersaults…”

Seeing this, William Chen put the newspaper on the coffee table.

Since the news of his acquisition of MGM came out yesterday, today we can see overwhelming related reports from the media. Of course, there are all kinds of comments, but the mainstream is still whether he can be in the film industry. The failures of previous years are called into question.

Chen William didn't pay too much attention to this. After all, since he acquired the "New York Observer", he has been accompanied by doubts along the way.

If those who questioned themselves were too far away from him, then why should they care about what the other party said, just like the eagle in the sky would not care about the sound of frogs on the ground.

Gu dump

It was around seven in the morning, and William Chen was in a seaside villa he had just bought.

The villa on Mabry Beach was just bought by William Chen for $20 million. Before the subprime mortgage crisis, the villa had been asking for as much as $35 million.

This mansion was designed by Frank Gehry, a famous architect of the generation.

In this mansion, there is a tennis court overlooking the sea, as well as facilities including swimming pool and spa room.

On the grass leading to the beach, there are stones that can be stepped on. When William Chen walked along this road to the beach last night, he found that the scenery was good.

The 11,413-square-foot two-story villa has a gym, wine cellar, loft, five fireplaces, six bedrooms, and ten bathrooms, enough for William Chen's temporary home in Los Angeles.

Malibu Beach Villas is a favorite location for many rich and famous. The 21-mile-long Malibu Beach is connected by several stretches of beach into a strip. Chen William's villa is located in the "Carbon Beach" where the super rich are mostly, while the other "Guangtan" is mainly for celebrities.

Chen William's favorite is this villa. There is a very large connected terrace outside. Whether it is the master bedroom or the living room, you can directly walk to this terrace with an invincible sea view.

It is worth mentioning that the climate of Los Angeles is relatively warm in all seasons. Even in January, the average temperature is around 7-18 degrees. Now that it is February, the highest temperature during the day has reached nearly 20 degrees.

If it's New York, it's still winter at this time, and in Los Angeles, you only need to wear a thin coat at most.

Perhaps the only downside is that the climate here in February can make it feel a little wet.

Chen William could faintly hear the sound from the open kitchen. He turned his head and saw a beautiful girl frying eggs there.

Uh, it's Jessica, who was in Hollywood last night when she knew that William Chen was coming to Los Angeles, so she came to experience the sea view of this new residence with him.

After a long time last night, Chen William can be sure that the sea view under the moonlight is very beautiful, whether it is in the bedroom or in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room.

Especially listening to the sound of the waves coming from a distance, with this sound, swinging the body makes it easy for people to integrate into the surrounding nature, and it is easy to become wild.

Because it was still very warm with the air conditioner on, at this time, she was only wearing a very short nightdress. From the side, she looked graceful.

At this time, Jessica twisted her hair up and made breakfast seriously, but she had the feeling of being a good wife and mother.

Seemingly noticing Chen William's gaze, she turned to look at ~www.mtlnovel.com~ with a sweet smile on her face, and opened her mouth to say something.

However, because the range hood was on over there, William Chen didn't hear her clearly, so he walked to her side and hugged her from behind.

"Honey, I'm cooking."

Jessica groaned.

"I just didn't hear what you were saying just now. I feel like this will make it more clear."

Chen William whispered in her ear, and the car saw that Jessica's face slowly turned red.

"Your reaction seems to be more than just inaudible," she muttered.

Hearing her say that, William Chen showed a smile on his face and grabbed the hem of her skirt...

"William, I'm frying an egg!"

"Oh...I know, dear, just do your thing."

"You..." Jessica had just said it, and quickly covered her mouth, her other hand supported the table...
