"Yes, I just came back."

Abel smiled and hugged her over, kissed her forehead, cheek, and finally on the lips.

It took several minutes before he let her go.

When he lets Annie go.

Jessica Alba had already come near the two of them and witnessed their intimacy.

Compared to Anne's smile just now, Jessica Alba's face looked a little bad when she saw Abel and Anne looking like that.

But she still came to Abel gently and smiled at him

"My dear, you are back."

Amo Alamuddin felt that this scene was similar to just now.

"Yes, I'm back."

Amo Alamuddin closed his eyes helplessly.

Then Jessica Alba was treated the same as Anne just now.

She was also panting, and then was let go.

At this moment, Amo Alamuddin was a little surprised.

Surprised by Abel's directness.

Later, more and more people came here.

Some of them are already people whom Amo Alamuddin does not know.

For example, Paris, who came to represent Ikana,

Her mother came on behalf of Charlize,

Li Yuxin came here on behalf of Li Fuzhen.

And Liv Tyler came in person.

The atmosphere around the pavilion became increasingly weird and quiet as more and more people came.

But one thing they all have in common is that none of the faces of the women present look good.

It's almost time for people to arrive.

Lulana Korshunova and her mother, along with several servants, brought plenty of snacks and tea.

At this time, they heard Abel say to Edward: "Let David and the others come over."

Edward nodded in agreement, and like Tony just now, he also walked to the side and made a phone call.

After a while, the women in the pavilion.

Not far away, I saw many guys in suits and ties, led by David Jones, walking this way.

Among the people walking by, Amo Alamuddin recognized lawyer Timmy Owen from Clifford Chance and another barrister.

Paris, who came here on behalf of Ikana, who was unable to fly because of her pregnancy, was complaining crazily in her heart and at the same time, she also recognized the New York law woman, Ms. Satan Caroline, in the crowd.

Anne and Jessica also recognized the housekeeper Ms. Joanna among these people.

These guys in suits and leather shoes, with an elite atmosphere all over their bodies, finally arrived in front of the pavilion.

"Pa~"

In the quiet environment, everyone heard Abel snap his fingers.

Everyone looked at him, but he nodded to David Jones.

Then David Jones smiled and said to the women present:

"Hello everyone, distinguished ladies, you may all know me. I am David Jones. I have been working for Mr. Smith and serving him in the past, present and future."

David looked polite and gentlemanly at this time, like a traditional aristocratic butler.

"Please allow me to introduce myself to everyone and introduce my new identity. Today, Mr. Smith has given me a new responsibility and a new identity."

"That is, as of today, I will become the general manager of the Smith Family Office."

Among the women present, not many understood the subtext of David Jones.

There are two exceptions to this rule.

One is Paris, she is from the Hilton family after all.

Their family has a family office.

Aymo Alamuddin also understands it, as she is a lawyer herself.

"There may be distinguished ladies who don't know what this means. It doesn't matter, Mr. Smith has prepared channels for everyone to understand."

David, who was polite and smiling, began to introduce the identities of the other people next to him.

".This is Ms. Joanna Lynn Duck. She is a member of Smith's office."

"This is Ms. Caroline, she is"

"This is Mr. Timmy Owen, he is."

"This is Mr. Hans Dagio, he is a senior partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers"

"This is Alan Baker. He is the general manager of Smith Think Group and a member of the Smith Family Office."

"This is Mr. Mark Duron, a senior partner at KPMG."

"This is Joe."

"."

David was very patient and introduced all the twenty-one people around him.

Each of these people has a different identity. Some are Americans and some are Europeans.

After everyone was introduced, David Jones smiled and bowed to everyone, "Including me, there are 22 of us. That is all the current members of the Smith Family Office."

"alright."

At this time, Abel suddenly said, "David. Let Ms. Caroline, Mr. Owen and others explain the rest to them."

David Jones nodded in agreement, then looked back at the others.

Maybe it was because he wanted to show off in front of Abel, or maybe his personality was more outgoing.

Timmy Owen of Clifford Chance was the first to speak with a smile:

"Ladies, you can ask us any questions. We are willing to serve the Smith family wholeheartedly!"

Over at the pavilion, Anne and Jessica did not move. They both looked at Abel first.

Abel turned around, his back to them, and walked to the grass next to him to look for ants.

This made the two Hollywood goddesses couldn't help showing disappointed expressions.

At this time, Liv Tyler, who was standing a little behind the two of them, suddenly raised her hand: "I have a question, can you help me clarify it?"

"Of course it's no problem." Owen smiled.

Someone came forward, and Paris was not to be outdone. She wanted to seek justice for Ikana.

At the same time, she herself became very curious and immediately started asking questions.

Charlize's mother had a dark face the whole time, but now for the sake of her daughter's happiness, the old woman also asked with concern.

With these three people starting the conversation, Li Yuxin already knew that her sister was pregnant and even knew who the child in her belly was. She didn't hold back.

Eventually even Jessica and Anne got involved.

Looking at the pavilion, people gathered around asking and answering questions.

Abel couldn't find any ants on the lawn, so he kicked the grass on the ground.

Abel has been thinking about today's matter, the establishment of a family office, for a long time.

The so-called family office originated from the great "Domus" (family director) in ancient Rome and the great "Domo" (general steward) in the Middle Ages.

There were similar things in ancient China, such as the Zongren Mansion and the Internal Affairs Mansion.

Family offices in the modern sense appeared in the mid-19th century.

Some tycoons who seized the opportunity of the industrial revolution brought together financial experts, legal experts and financial experts to study how to manage and protect their family's wealth and extensive business interests.

In this way, there is a single family office that only serves one family.

In 1882, John D. Rockefeller established the world's first family office.

The establishment of a family office is generally based on the consideration of the maintenance and development of wealthy families.

Gathering a group of industry elites to provide families with a variety of professional management consulting and operational services.

These include: lawyers, CPAs, investment managers, stockbrokers, insurance agents, banks, and independent trust entities.

That is, the so-called family trust is included in the concept of family office.
