“You need to apologize to him.”

“I, this is so dumb, I’m not going to… Okay fine! I’m sorry, I was wrong, Mr. Raymond, I was wrong.”

Indeed, Raymond stopped the chase. Daniel and his friends were all stunned.

“Oh my god!”

“God, did you see that? Did you see that? This snake actually understands it!”

“This can’t be real. Raymond, you idiot!”

A friend of Daniel did not believe it. Then, Raymond turned around and headed towards him directly.

“Oh no… He understands me. He’s coming for me… I’m sorry! I was wrong!”

Raymond let that person off. At this moment, the entire group of young people was totally bewildered.

“Chen, tell me how you’ve managed to train Beelzebub till he’s so strong, and a snake till he’s so clever. Are you a wizard? No, you’re a Druid. Yes! Only this can explain everything.”

“You might need to ask their previous owners. In fact, I’ve adopted both Raymond and Beelzebub.”

“I don’t believe it. Which fool would throw them away?”

“This is the reality.”

“Can I touch Raymond?”

“Raymond, do you mind?” Chen Zhao looked at Raymond who was in the distance.

Raymond slowly crawled forward and stopped before Daniel. Daniel was still somewhat scared of Raymond, but he still extended his hand out. Then, Raymond climbed up Daniel’s hand.

“God, he’s really too smart! Chen, sell him to me, please. Snakes are my favorite, especially Raymond.”

“Ask him yourself if he’s willing.”

“Raymond, are you willing to live with me?”

Raymond raised his head, after which he shook his head.

“God, god, god… I like him more and more.”

Of course, although Daniel admired Raymond, he was not planning to get Raymond by force.

After all, he had been through elite education. Perhaps he was just somewhat indulgent, which was a common characteristic of the teenagers in this country.

However, having been through elite education, he would not allow himself to establish enemies easily, even an ordinary looking Asian.

Those wealthy kids who want to kill all their enemies after a small dispute would only appear in novels, not the real world.

Daniel was clearly more interested in the two pets than Chen Zhao.

Actually, everyone present was more interested in Raymond and Beelzebub than Chen Zhao, including Paul…

“Daniel, don’t you have lesson today?” Just then, Zola walked over.

Zola was Daniel’s mother. At the moment, Zola was wearing a white business wear. Unlike the last time, today her hair had been permed.

“Chen, you’re here as well. Nice, I have been experiencing chest tightness recently. Can you help me to take a look?”

“No problem.”

“Chen, can you leave Raymond and Beelzebub here temporarily?”

“Sure.” Chen Zhao left with Zola.

The two of them entered a random bedroom, after which they started making out.

Actually, Chen Zhao was indeed examining Zola’s body.

Women that were about forty years old had the greatest desire. At the same time, they were also the most experienced ones.

“How’s my father?”

“We’ve already completed today’s session.”

“Why didn’t I see him at his place?”

“He’s in the bedroom.”

“I don’t think he has the habit of sleeping in the day. In fact, he doesn’t spend much time sleeping at all.”

“With a maid.”

“Alright. Let’s do it one more time, okay?”

“Of course; as you wish.”

Zola was a very attractive woman. Even though she was no longer young, she knew how to display her feminine charm.

Of course, Chen Zhao was not planning to become Daniel’s stepfather, and Zola was also not planning to let Chen Zhao become her fourth husband. They were only taking what each of them needed.

All of a sudden, the door was pushed open.

They saw a girl standing outside. Then, they heard a loud scream.

This was the first time Chen Zhao had come into contact with a shy female after he arrived in Los Angeles.

Fine, perhaps it was because she looked only about sixteen, or maybe even younger. After all, European and American girls experience puberty earlier than Asian girls.

“Darling, why did you come in without knocking?”

At the moment, Chen Zhao and Zola were still in an awkward position. Zola’s legs were on top of Chen Zhao’s shoulders.

“I heard that you were here. The maid told me that you’re in this room…” The girl lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen Zhao and Zola. “Is he your new boyfriend?”

“No,” Zola answered frankly. “Can you give us ten minutes?”

The girl could only close the door again and then leave.

“Seems like we need to find a place that’s more hidden next time.”

The two of them sped the process up. Instead of continuing to explore various postures, they only aimed for speed.

Zola was even more familiar with this. Ten minutes later, the two walked out of the room together.

Zola went to find her daughter. Chen Zhao did not want to appear before them, so he found an excuse to leave.

…

“Manny, I’m so sorry. I have displayed my ugliest side in front of you.”

“Mom, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have gone in without knocking.”

“So let us forgive each other.”

“Mom, who’s that man? He seems to be much younger than you.”

“He’s Chen, your grandfather’s doctor.” Zola was clearly not planning to continue this topic. “Did you come with Daniel?”

“No, I came here alone. He has his own circle.”

“I heard that you went to a movie company for audition last week. Is that right?”

“Yes.”

“If you want to remain in this profession, I can recommend you to every director.” After all, Rasfa was the chairman and major shareholder of PLM, one of the six major film studios in Hollywood. These six studios were both competitors and allies of each other.

Zola also worked in the movie industry, so she knew countless famous directors and actors.

Although she could not make Manny the female protagonist directly, she was clearly confident that Manny would at least take up a role with dialogue.

In Hollywood, female protagonists were almost always appointed by the movie company. They were very seldom decided via audition.

Characters with dialogues would mostly be allocated by agencies. If Manny went for an audition directly, the likelihood of her succeeding was effectively zero.

Under the same conditions, director groups would only choose actresses under various agencies and partners, or those who could bring them benefits, and not Manny.

Apart from being young and beautiful, Manny had almost no advantages. Hollywood had never been short of young and beautiful actresses.

Actually Manny’s young age might even become her disadvantage.

That was because in Hollywood, there was a rule: movie companies would not use non-adults unless they had to.

Minors, animals, and the like must all be used carefully.

A character who was about fifteen or sixteen could well be acted by a twenty-year-old actress after dressing up appropriately.
