Peggy Morgenthau was obviously dressed up tonight.

Okay, this sentence is nonsense. Which upper-class woman attending such an important cocktail party would be careless?

This has nothing to do with IQ, it's a woman's nature.

What's more, Peggy came with her grandfather tonight as always.

If she doesn't dress up well, Robert probably won't do it either. That would be hurting the reputation of the Morgenthau family, which is something a traditional and stubborn family like them cannot tolerate.

Tonight, Paige has white teeth and red lips, her golden hair is tied behind her head, and her makeup is slightly mature, leaning toward a lady's makeup.

She was wearing a dark blue floor-length gown with a very long hem.

The dark blue sleeveless large V-neck tight-fitting waist-hugging fishtail skirt perfectly showed off the curves and ravines of her proud white upper circumference, which was so looming that people couldn't take their eyes away.

On Peggy's slender pink neck, there is a band-shaped platinum diamond necklace, which is dazzling.

This dress perfectly embellishes Peggy's graceful body in a way that is amazing. It is completely in the shape of a gourd, charming and dignified, contradictory and harmonious.

After looking at it carefully, little Laura was a little discouraged.

She found that she seemed to be a little inferior to the other party in terms of appearance and figure.

As for IQ

Little Laura remembered this woman as a super genius prodigy.

He obtained a doctorate in law when he was still a teenager, and is a very famous and true "other people's kid" in the political circles on the East Coast.

Even little Laura, who was far away in Texas, had heard about it.

Better than family background.

In this regard, the current shrub family seems to be slightly better.

Compared to the Shrub family, which has produced two generals, Morgenthau comes from a family of prosecutors and a family of justice.

Morgenthau's ancestors had a great judge.

The older generation of this generation, Robert and his three brothers, are all prosecutors in important areas of the United States.

The youngest among them has a high probability of becoming the new chief justice.

The premise is that one of the current justices happens to have passed away, and then the new leader is a member of the Donkey Party.

The younger generation. The younger generation of the Bush family, there are not many people now.

In terms of family background, little Laura feels that she is still better than her, but not by much.

Finally, compare abilities.

Her talents are all about shrewdness, and little Laura doesn't even want to compare with her in terms of palace heart.

Comparing them will only cause trouble.

Little Laura finally realized that she seemed to be no match for Peggy in all aspects.

Then why did Abel choose me?

In addition to her family background, little Laura thought of a great possibility.

Excellent like Peggy, traditional and stubborn like the Morgenthal family.

She and they would most likely not allow her husband and their son-in-law to be so bad in some way, right?

In this regard, the Shrub family, which relied entirely on marriage in the early stage, was more enlightened.

So Abel chose me because of this?

Little Laura thought like this and felt that she was a bit of a failure.

But no matter what, he chose me in the end!

Little Laura found her victory point, which made her smile confidently in front of Paige.

The two started a "cordial and friendly" conversation, with Li Xinyu watching the fun.

But in fact, it was mainly little Laura who was asking, and Paige's response was not very enthusiastic.

After chatting for a few minutes, little Laura found that even if she wanted to surpass her verbally, she didn't seem to have any sense of accomplishment.

Facing Peggy Morgenthau, little Laura felt like hitting cotton and sucking out air.

It was so soft and powerless, and there was no feeling of victory at all.

"Wow~"

Just when little Laura was hesitating whether she really couldn't compare to Paige.

At the reception, almost everyone burst into discussion.

These sounds attracted the attention of more than thirty ladies in the female guest area.

"What happened?"

"Why do you look so lively?"

"Look over there!"

A female guest pointed out that something happened during the reception.

I don't care about the lady's side of things.

The female guest, who had been paying attention to the male guests, reminded her in a low voice:

"It seems that Mr. David Mellon just announced Smith Capital's financial report for this year?"

Little Laura looked over and saw the male guests taking things out of their pockets.

Someone took it out first. It was a crude invitation letter from Smith Capital. Many people took out the invitation letter and looked at it.

Seeing this, little Laura showed a proud smile on her face.

She greeted the female guests, including Peggy Morgenthau, and said with a smile:

"Nothing, Mr. David Mellon should have asked everyone to see the invitation. The number on the invitation is the total profit of Smith Capital this year."

Among the thirty or so female guests, a few happened to hold invitations.

These ladies quickly took the invitation letters from the small bag.

After a while, a woman who moved the fastest had already opened the invitation.

On the invitation letter, the lady only found a number [$458] at the end.

The other numbers are only year, month, day, and time numbers.

That's obviously not going to be Smith Capital's profit number this year.

"[$458]? What does this number mean?" the woman couldn't help but ask.

"Yes. My invitation also has [$458] on it." Another woman also said:

"458 US dollars? Or 4.58 million US dollars? 45.8 million US dollars? 458 million US dollars? It can't be 4.58 billion US dollars, or 45.8 billion US dollars, right?"

They couldn't help but look at little Laura.

The latter nodded with a reserved smile and looked at Peggy with his beautiful eyes.

Paige still had that calm and gentle expression, and when little Laura looked over, she even took the initiative to smile at little Laura.

Little Laura had no choice but to smile back, and at the same time said softly:

"That's right. Abel just told me that Smith Capital's gross profit this year is a total of 45.8 billion U.S. dollars, that's right!"

"Wow!"

Among the female guests, the same discussion as the male guests just now broke out.

Can I attend this cocktail party tonight?

It can also be a female guest brought here by a male companion, boyfriend, or husband.

None of them are ordinary women.

Either he comes from a big family or a wealthy family...

Either you are particularly capable, such as Wendy Deng, who is mixed in with the crowd and has a somewhat marginal status.

She convinced her husband to come with Murdoch, which is also a manifestation of her ability.

Everyone, including Wendy Deng, knows what a gross profit of $45.8 billion means to a company.

This means that Smith Capital may top all companies in the world in terms of profits this year!

"Did we hear correctly? Miss Bush, what you just said was US$45.8 billion?"

Wendy Deng, who was at the edge of the circle, raised her voice and asked.

At this time when everyone was curious, Wendy Deng felt that by taking the initiative, she could get some attention from these women.

Several other female guests also joined in and asked:

"Yeah, $45.8 billion! Lord, this is too hard to believe."
