Chapter 282: A Small Group of Celebrities

In New York, Milo only attends two types of cocktail parties.

One is a cocktail party that he is interested in, or sometimes he goes there because he is really bored.

This is more random.

Sometimes it might be a cocktail party hosted by the re-elected Mayor Giuliani, gathering celebrities from all over the city.

Sometimes it could be a premiere or roadshow reception for any movie under Paladin Media in New York.

Sometimes it might even just be a small Vanity Fair cocktail party in the entertainment industry.

The other is more traceable.

That was a cocktail party hosted by those New Yorkers who were on good terms with him.

For example, cocktail parties hosted by families such as the Gimpel, Dolan, and Morgenthau.

Like the night of December 23, 1997.

Milo attended a cocktail party.

It was an engagement party held by Ivana's father, Don Gimp, for his eldest son, Don Gimp Jr., Ivana's brother.

"…Well, should I say congratulations?" Milo blinked.

In front of him stood Ivana's brother, Little Gimp, who looked a little reserved.

He and Ivana had just arrived.

Because of Ivana, he can be said to be a member of the Gimp family.

Therefore, Milo and Ivana did not make any grand appearance or appear as the finale; they just came out on their own when the time came.

Milo and Ivana happened to meet the male protagonist of the night, Little Gimp, so they started chatting with him.

Then Milo found out why little Kimpo, who was only 20 years old, was getting engaged this month and getting married right after the Chinese New Year next month.

It turned out that this guy was the one who got someone else pregnant.

With Jinpu's financial resources, it would have been easy for his son to get his girlfriend pregnant.

At most you can just give him money to support him, it’s not something Jinpu created himself anyway.

But here’s the thing…

The Gimps leap up as Ivana and Milo walk in.

Xiao Jinpu's social circle also rose several levels.

The girls he can pick up are of higher quality than before.

The girlfriend he made pregnant this time is a wealthy woman who specializes in port business in New York City.

His net worth is nearly 10 billion US dollars.

It is slightly worse than the current Gimp family, but about the same as the previous Gimp family.

He is the kind of person that the Jinpu family should avoid provoking.

Therefore, after getting the girl pregnant, even if Jinpu wanted to marry his son to a better family.

At this moment, Xiao Jinpu had to get engaged and married to the other party to give the other party an explanation.

That's why Milo said the above words to Ivana's brother.

Little Gimp smiled bitterly: "I didn't think it would happen so soon. I mean... Dad, Milo is here."

But it was at this time that Jinpu knew that Milo had arrived, so he quickly left everyone else and came to greet his daughter and super rich son-in-law.

"Yeah." Kim nodded to his son with no expression on his face, but when he turned to his daughter and Milo.

Gimp naturally showed his signature smile again, "Hey, honey, you're here. I think Berg must be very happy to see you!"

Berg is the last name of the family of the girlfriend whom little Gimp is getting engaged tonight.

The Berg family is actually from New Jersey, but there is almost no difference between New Jersey and the vassal cities of New York.

The Berg family's main business is also in Manhattan. They run the largest local seafood market in New York and several freight companies and ocean fishing companies.

His net worth is about the same as that of the Gimp family before they met Milo.

He is a member of more than 400 billionaire families in New York.

Well, Forbes recently released this year's global wealth report.

Not a wealth ranking.

The wealth report shows that in 1997, there were 781 billionaires in the world with a net worth of over US$1 billion.

New York ranks first among global cities with 79th place.

Jin Pu is also on the list.

But the Berg family did not, because their wealth was dispersed among four or five people.

In order to be included in the Forbes ranking, an individual must have made at least $1 billion.

"I remember that little Gimp was already twenty years old."

Milo smiled and said, "Since his girlfriend is pregnant, it's time to get married and have children."

These words made Jinpu smile and nod.

His son Xiao Jinpu, who was standing next to him, disagreed and looked at his sister's belly which was already growing a little bit.

But of course I didn't dare say anything.

At this time, Jin Pu looked at Ivana and said, "Honey, your mother is here. Also, do you want to meet your future sister-in-law? They are preparing to perform over there. If you want, you can go and see them."

Ivana looked at Milo after hearing that, and Milo smiled and nodded.

So Ivana, with her bulging belly, went to her future sister-in-law and her biological mother, who had been divorced from Kimple for many years.

Xiao Jinpu quickly found an excuse and said he would take his sister over.

"Oh, he is always like this and will never grow up." Jin Pu looked at his son leaving and couldn't help but say in disappointment.

Milo thought to himself that at your age, you are not much better than your son.

Isn't it all thanks to your father? Even in terms of helping his son, the current you and the you in the parallel universe are far inferior to your father! "Maybe it will be different after he becomes a husband and a father. He will grow up by then." Milo said something to comfort him.

“No one understands my son better than I do.”

Gimp shook his head and gestured, "No, he will never change. He will always disappoint me."

Milo noticed that there were too many eyes looking at him on the field.

He knew that one reason was probably because of his identity.

Showing up at an engagement party for a family of Gimp and Berg's level was more or less out of line.

Secondly, the Gimp family now depends entirely on Gimp. Half of the people who came to the cocktail party came for the Berg family, and half for Gimp’s sake.

Because even Gimp himself didn't know whether Milo would come or not.

So right now, Xiao Jinpu is unreliable.

The entire reception could only be supported by Jinpu.

Milo then asked Gimp to greet the guests while he walked around freely.

Gimp hesitated, for it was evidently important to keep Milo company.

However, he could see that Milo really didn't need his company, and he thought that tonight was an important occasion for him to expand his network.

Jinpu had no choice but to nod and choose to entertain the guests.

Milo, who was alone for a while, wandered around the field freely.

Many people wanted to approach him when they saw him, but they were intimidated by his status and his rumored bad temper.

For a moment, no one dared to step forward.

It was mainly a marriage reception for the Gimp family and the Berg family.

The grade is just so-so.

Those who came were the heads of the billion-dollar club, or the children of the hundred-billion-dollar club as representatives.

Although they can all be considered to have status, status means nothing to Milo.

So much so that he lost interest.

Thinking about waiting for Ivana to come out later.

He gave her a few instructions and asked her to stay here in his place.

Then he can leave early.

Anyway, I've already been here and shown my face.

This has already given face to Jinpu and Ivana, and is enough to get the job done.

In this way, Milo walked aimlessly for more than ten feet before slowing down.

Looking around, Milo walked straight to a long table and reached for the whiskey glass behind it.

He doesn't like champagne or red wine, and has always liked whiskey.

At this moment, a hand reached out from the other side, and the two people bumped into each other.

The person who also came to get the cup was a young girl who was slightly smaller than Ivana in both stature and age.

She has light blonde hair and is very elegant. Milo knows her, Nicky Hilton from the Hilton family.

She is also one of the contracted models of Victoria's Secret.

That’s right, because of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Victoria's Secret, a modeling company that mainly focuses on lingerie and uses models as a supplement, has now become one of the superstars in the global fashion industry.

Because of its healthy aesthetic, it is popular among both men and women.

What's more, this company belongs to Milo, and Milo seems to care a lot about this company.

He also often has various scandals with the signed supermodels.

Some ladies and celebrities were attracted by it.

They all asked Victoria's Secret if they could join in.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When Victoria's Secret saw this, they were surprised that there was such a good thing - a large group of wealthy daughters and famous ladies actually wanted to join their company and become their models.

This is simply a side effect to enhance the brand power of your own company.

After consulting the headquarters, Victoria's Secret gladly accepted the joining of these girls who had other intentions.

Now Victoria's Secret is for those true international supermodels.

There is also a group of wealthy daughters from all over the United States and even Europe who have special contracts, very low salaries, and are basically used by Victoria's Secret to make news.

For example, Ivana’s good “girlfriends” include two sisters from the Hearst family and two sisters from the Hilton family.

Now they are all members of Victoria's Secret special models.

Nicky Hilton and her sister Paris seem to be well suited to a career in fashion.

Even more outstanding than the two sisters from the Hearst family, the two sisters have now become new fashionable socialites in the New York celebrity circle.

"Hi, Nicky." Minlo smiled, picked up the cup and handed it to Nicky Hilton, then took another one for himself.

I noticed that her smile looked a little forced, as if she was sulking about something.

"Hi, Milo, good evening." Nikki looked a little surprised and nodded, "It's great to see you here."

"What happened? You don't look happy." Milo had nothing to do at the moment, so he asked casually.

Nicky Hilton sighed and just shrugged: "Nothing."

Having said that, her eyes were looking somewhere.

Milo looked in the direction she was looking and saw a group of her sisters not far away - another Miss Hilton and two Miss Hursts were among them.

There are several others, all of whom are wealthy daughters of New York's "Four Hundred Club" who have done well and can be called New York socialites.

At this moment, it seems that Nikki and Milo are chatting.

Their attention was all focused here.

Looking at the girl in front of him who is younger than Ivana.

But it's already developing well.

Not to mention her age, if she were in China, people would definitely think she was around 18 or 19 years old.

Taking a deep breath, Milo felt that tonight wasn't so boring after all.

The threshold is gradually lowering, and he is no longer as averse to playing with them as he was when he was just born.

It may also be that the authentic Ansa blood in the body is at work.

He extended an invitation to Nicky Hilton, "It seems like they are annoying you, why don't we go over there for a drink. There is a sofa, so we can sit down and chat."

Nicky Hilton was stunned, her beautiful eyes showing some hesitation.

But it disappeared in an instant, and a typical ladylike smile appeared on her face, "Ah, of course. Mr. Blackburn."

The two of them walked to the corner together.

Of course it would not happen quietly, but everyone saw it.

But almost no one stood up to stop it, and many women even showed envious expressions.

For example, Nicky Hilton's sister group, her sister and the Hearst sisters are in the small circle.

Some people are now regretting and envious.

For example, Anne of the Pritzker family.

When they played truth or dare just now, both Anne Pritzker and Nicky Hilton lost.

Anne chose to drink a glass of extremely strong whiskey as punishment.

Nicky Hilton chose Truth or Dare.

Someone asked Nicky Hilton to pick someone up.

They also found Miss Hilton the man they thought was the most difficult - Milo Blackburn, a man who was a legend even in their circle.

Nicky Hilton didn't dare to go, but if she didn't go she would have to drink three glasses of whiskey as punishment.

The punishment is much higher than that of Anne who chose to drink directly.

Finally, Nicky Hilton bit the bullet and judged someone's route in advance.

At the wine buffet table, I "happened" to meet Milo.

Successfully complete their truth or dare tasks.

But they didn't expect that the situation seemed to be more than that.

Nicky Hilton seemed to have picked up a lucky coin when she went out today.

Milo Blackburn seemed very interested in her and invited her to chat in the corner.

Now it’s these socialites who are feeling depressed.

"It looks like she succeeded?" Anne Pritzker said, suppressing her jealousy.

The Pritzker family is the owner of the famous luxury hotel, Hyatt.

They can also be considered one of the old money families in the United States, and they started to make their fortune in the 1980s.

From law firm development to real estate investment, his net worth now exceeds 10 billion US dollars.

But there are many family members, and their hometown is Chicago.

Its members are scattered across major cities across the United States, and Anne Pritzker is a member of the New York branch.

Sort of like a weaker version of the Mellons.

"Didn't they say he was difficult to talk to?" another socialite said at this time.

Amanda Hearst spoke up: "If it's difficult for him to talk. Then why is Ivana already pregnant? The truth is that it may not be as difficult as we think!"

This made everyone present eager to take action.

Some men have a hobby of "stamp collecting".

Socialites also get involved to some extent, but they have many restrictions and their vision is far beyond that of ordinary women.

There are definitely not many men they like.

But now, everyone in their small group knows Ivana.

In the past, Ivana could even be said to be the new member of their small group, at the top of the contempt chain.

But what about now?

Ivana has left their small group.

She was now part of a small group at the level of Rockefeller and Mellon.

Everyone present understood how Ivana climbed up.

Now looking at Nicky Hilton, it seems that there is also a chance...

Someone looked at Paris Hilton and said, "Paris, that's your sister. Don't you want to go over and see what she's talking about with the richest man in the world?"

Paris hesitated, but saw Nikki saying something to Milo over there.

Then Milo got up and left.

Paris breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the conversation is not so easy to end."

The socialites then gave up and were waiting for Nicky Hilton to come back.

But I waited for about five minutes.

Nikki got up over there.

But he didn't walk towards them, but looked at them.

She walked into the corridor where Milo Blackburn had just left.

This immediately made all the members of the socialite circle look at each other.
