In America, the winner takes all.

Chapter 354 The rules have to be changed
"...Hello." Giselle greeted timidly.

Standing in front of her now were Catherine, Lisa, Grace, Kelsey, and McKenna.

After the routine visit, the three models returned to their hotel, and Ethan naturally took Gisele and her twin sisters home.

Originally, Giselle was still looking forward to what the interior of Ethan's mansion in Beverly Hills would look like, but when she walked in, she was shocked by the beautiful women standing at the door to greet her.

Three of the five people had swollen bellies, and they looked like they were at least six or seven months pregnant.

She knew Kelsey and McKenna, and knew their relationship with Ethan, but the others... were meeting them for the first time.

Do they all have Ethan's babies in their bellies?
Before Giselle could think more, several women came over on their own initiative.

"You are so beautiful! You look much prettier than in the catwalk shots." Grace took the lead and held Gisele's hand enthusiastically.

"So tall! Like a giant, no wonder the clothes look so good." Catherine also smiled.

Both Lisa and Catherine have tall figures, but Gisele Bundchen is a full five feet and eleven inches (one meter and eighty) tall, and wearing high heels, she stands directly above the crowd of women. It's quite conspicuous.

In addition, with the height of the heels above 1.9 meters, I am afraid that only when standing next to football or basketball players will I look like a cute bird. I wonder if a female singer who has been dating handsome guys many years later will have a similar feeling...

"I've asked all the buyers in Los Angeles about the black Alexander McQueen vacuum one-piece dress you wore at New York Fashion Week last month, but no one can find it. Is there anything you can do?" Lisa also said. Ask proactively.

When these women saw Gisele Bundchen, it was like seeing an old friend. They didn’t need Ethan to take the initiative to introduce them, and the fight quickly became heated. Before they exchanged a few words, they surrounded Gisele Bundchen and started. Take a tour inside Ethan's mansion.

Only Giselle's twin sister was left, and Patricia was completely ignored by a few people.

"She is still so dazzling." Patricia sneered, seeming to be used to this kind of scene. Giselle would become the center of attention wherever she went.

"You can do this too." Ethan said, standing next to her.

In their family, Giselle stands out the most and is the tallest, but as Giselle's twin sister, Patricia is naturally not that ugly, and she also has development prospects in the modeling industry.

"I'd better forget it, I'm already busy enough dealing with Giselle's affairs." Patricia shook her head.

She is now Gisele's assistant and manager. She is in charge of Gisele's schedule, and she is also in charge of Sarah Douglas.

"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you...you must be working hard every night, right?" Patricia asked with a smile.

With so many women, Ethan would be even more tired every night than playing ball during the day.

"Can you hold on?" Patricia joked.

"Of course, not to mention Giselle, even one more person can still hold on." Ethan looked at the woman beside him.

"Mom is already angry enough when she finds out that Giselle spent the night with you. In order for you to live a few more years, I'd better forget it." Patricia shook her head repeatedly and refused in a joking tone.

"Let's go, I'll take you for a walk outside." Ethan turned around and left the luxurious house, walking with Patricia in the courtyard.

The two actually talked a lot about Giselle.

"This time when I come to Los Angeles, in addition to the work you arranged, Gisele will also go to the Victoria's Secret headquarters to complete the contract signing." Patricia mentioned Gisele's subsequent itinerary.

It can be said that Victoria's Secret and Gisele Bundchen have a relationship of mutual achievement. Without Victoria's Secret, Gisele Bundchen's fame would not be so great, and the same is true for Victoria's Secret.

"Where are Adriana and the others?" Ethan asked.

"Sarah Douglas did recommend them, but the people at Victoria's Secret didn't seem satisfied," Patricia responded.

Ethan asked about the specific time.

"I'll go there with you then." Ethan tried.

He does have a lot of business with Victoria's Secret.

"Also, speaking of Sarah Douglas, you'd better be careful with her. In the past six months, she has become unusually close to several other models." Patricia reminded.

Calculating the time, after the interview between Ethan and Sarah Douglas, Ethan was not in a hurry to renew the contract, which made Sarah think a lot more.

This is not beyond Ethan's expectation. He will also find opportunities to ask several people individually about this in the past few days. Patricia's reminder confirms this speculation.

The size of the manor was beyond Patricia's imagination. When she found that the two of them had walked for more than ten minutes and had not reached the border, she asked, "I'm afraid this will cost a lot of money."

Patricia was secretly shocked when she heard the specific price from Ethan.

Unlike the three models, both Giselle and Patricia knew that Ethan was not some secretly wealthy heir, but a true self-made man.

While in college, Ethan was involved in the preparation of sporting events and now is a part-owner of an NFL franchise.

"Just good luck." Ethan shook his head.

Being able to get to this point depends on the foundation of my own athletes.

"Also, I picked up some money by luck in the stock market." Ethan continued.

Patricia was very curious about this, so she asked a few more questions.

Patricia was a little confused when she heard that Ethan had also invested in several big Hollywood stars and made nearly hundreds of millions of dollars in the past two years.

"So, you also invest in the film and television industry?"

Ethan scratched his head: "Just investing in a few movies."

That's it?

Patricia thought about it in her mind for a long time. Not to mention seeing it with her own eyes or hearing about it, she couldn't find anyone who could achieve certain achievements in different fields like Ethan.

The two walked around the courtyard and returned to the house. At this time, dinner was ready. In the restaurant, Gisele Bundchen and Patricia met Ethan's mother.

The two sisters exchanged glances, and both seemed to have made many new discoveries.

During the meal, Lisa mentioned the performance of "Happy Death Day" in the half month since its release. As of today, it has earned US$24 million at the box office.

"Although the box office of "Happy Death Day" was only US$1 on the first day of filming, the box office growth of "Happy Death Day" has not diminished. The audience's evaluation of the film is not bad, and the October schedule this year is very weak. , but made "Happy Death Day" stand out. At its peak, 346 theaters across the country chose to schedule the film," Sarah analyzed.

This year’s summer season can be described as a battle of the gods. Star Wars: Episode I, The Mummy, The Sixth Sense, The Matrix, Tarzan, Blair Witch, Notting Hill, and Ace Spy are all released in June and July. .

Since August, there haven’t been any eye-catching movies released.

"Our biggest competitor now is "Fight Club". Although it has accumulated a box office of 2400 million U.S. dollars, considering its cost is as high as 6300 million U.S. dollars and it was released ten days earlier than us. And our total cost including distribution is only 900 million US dollars." Lisa laughed.

Hearing Ethan sigh with emotion, the movie "Fight Club" did not perform well enough when it was released. The total box office was only 6300 million U.S. dollars. If calculated based on the total cost of million U.S. dollars, it would definitely not be able to make back its money. .

"However, this good life may not last long, as a batch of new movies including "Toy Story 2" will be released soon. But even so, this movie can still be called a success, and it is a success that exceeds expectations."

"This is due to the fact that the story Ethan gave is exciting enough." Mia mentioned at this time.

"Did you come up with "Happy Death Day"?" Gisele Bundchen's eyes lit up and she looked at Ethan.

Before Ethan could answer, Mia took the initiative to speak.

"Not only "Happy Death Day", the previous "Seven Deadly Sins" story was also provided by Ethan. Although I was the screenwriter, I only played a polishing role. Ethan took the beginning of the story, including the middle process, and The twist in the final ending told me everything. Strictly speaking, he should be the first to sign. "I testify that it took less than 20 minutes for Ethan to narrate the entire story in a McDonald's. , Mia recorded the whole story on a napkin while listening. "As one of the witnesses, Catherine also mentioned this detail.

Grace and others have long been tired of hearing these stories, but for Giselle and Patricia, this is their first time.

They haven't watched "Happy Death Day", but they have watched "Seven Deadly Sins".

Patricia liked this movie very much. She had watched it countless times before. She was deeply attracted by the deep and gloomy temperament in the movie. She also liked the actor's appearance. Of course, she also knew who the screenwriter was. At first, she just thought It’s the same name, but I didn’t expect that Mia was actually the screenwriter of this movie.

What she didn't expect was that Ethan was the first author of the entire movie.

When she looked at Ethan again, Patricia's eyes were full of scrutiny, and she almost didn't recognize the man in front of her.

·
"This house is so big, and the carpet is so soft. I don't want to leave." Giselle was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and her legs were dangling.

The twin sister Patricia was sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking a little dazed.

"What are you thinking about?" Giselle looked sideways, noticed Patricia who was lost in thought, and asked.

"I didn't expect that Ethan made it up..." Patricia finally came back to her senses.

"The brain of a genius is always different from that of a normal person." Gisele Bundchen turned over and let her hair fall down.

"I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to find Ethan. Remember what you promised me." Giselle stood up and turned around to remind her before leaving.

"Keep it a secret from your parents." Patricia nodded.

After Giselle left, Patricia lay directly on the soft mattress and couldn't help but close her eyes.

Scenes from the movie flashed through his mind, but in the scene at this moment, the protagonist had become Ethan.

Patricia slowly opened her eyes.

"I don't like this movie anymore," she muttered.

·
"How do you feel these days in Los Angeles?" Ethan looked at Alexandra in front of him.

This is the hotel where the three models are staying, and Ethan is in Alexandra's room.

"It's pretty good...the climate here is similar to London." Alexandra slowly raised her head.

"What if you were asked to leave London completely and live here forever?" Ethan asked tentatively.

"But in that case, there is no way to make money." Alexandra immediately shook her head and refused.

Ethan didn't say anything when he saw this, but he just started talking about the past, how he chose Alexandra in the first place.

"I really like your appearance."

"Thank you, boss." Alexandra smiled. Seeing that the glass next to Ethan had been drained, she took the initiative to get up and pour Ethan another glass of whiskey. Then she subconsciously changed the subject and asked about Ethan and Giselle. things in between.

But Ethan was not prepared to talk to her about this this time.

"Let's talk about Sarah Douglas. Did she tell you anything else? For example, poaching you to Storm Models."

Alexandra's hand, which was pouring wine, suddenly trembled, and then immediately returned to normal.

"Of course she told me, but I won't agree to her. It was my boss who brought me here from Brazil. Without my boss, I wouldn't be where I am today." Alexandra immediately laughed.

"But some people are like wolves who never have enough to feed. I heard that you and Sarah are quite close, and you often go to her office."

"I swear to God, I have absolutely no intention of betraying you..." Alexandra immediately raised her hands.

But after saying this, even she felt a little lack of confidence.

She knew that Ethan had just talked to Isabel alone, and that little bitch had probably sold her out.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong! It's Sarah who has been encouraging me..." She said intermittently, and soon her eyes filled with tears, saying that her acting skills were indeed top-notch.

Then she revealed everything about how Sarah secretly wooed her, including Adriana, as if she was preparing to plead guilty.

"I have no doubts about your loyalty, but tears and verbal promises are useless."

"Then what else do I need to do so that you can..." Alexandra realized something halfway through her words.

"I know." Alexandra wiped away her tears and began to unbutton her clothes, one button, two buttons, and three buttons.

"Wait." Ethan suddenly raised his hand to interrupt.

You finally have some humanity! Alexandra secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go and call Adriana in. I have something to do and don't have time to play with you two." The next moment, Ethan changed the subject.

"You..." Alexandra was stunned, and finally chose to get up. When she walked out of the room, she saw Adriana standing at the door, eavesdropping.

Ethan called people over to talk to him one by one. He obviously knew something, and Adriana was particularly nervous.

Alexandra shook her head at her and whispered: "Isabel sold us."

Adriana cursed silently, looking first at Alexandra and then at Ethan, who was sitting in the room behind her.

"You can leave completely. The contract will be automatically terminated when it expires. I won't make it difficult for any of you, as long as you consider the consequences of doing so." Ethan's voice came from inside.

Ethan felt that he was a little too kind to them due to the influence of Giselle. In the future, the rules about models really need to be changed...

Adriana and Alexandra looked at each other for a moment, and after a few seconds of hesitation, they walked in with fear and timidity.

"Close the door."

"Boom."

Without any instructions from Ethan, the two of them began to take off their clothes, but the expressions on their faces were very stiff, without any joy, and there was even some despair in their eyes.

After despair, they felt unforgettable pain, both in body and soul.

·
It's over. When Ethan finished taking a shower and came out of the room, the two Brazilian female models had already put on their clothes again silently. Both of their expressions looked very tight. Their hair had not been tidied up yet, so it was a bit messy. .

The bed was in a mess, and two roses stood out on the white sheets.

This is beyond Ethan's expectation. It can only be said that the two of them are still young. Alexandra is actually only eighteen years old this year, and Adriana has just celebrated her eighteenth birthday not long ago, plus she is working Being busy and Sarah being very careful, there was no chance of falling in love at all.

Ethan took off his bathrobe, and the two of them walked over mechanically to dress Ethan.

"Have a good rest tonight, you will have to appear on stage in a few days." Ethan said before leaving.

After confirming that Ethan had left, the two of them immediately lay on the bed in pain.
