Sheerah was rumored to have a "little secret" with Batman. As Iron Man, a certain tycoon used to be very keen on hooking up with cover girls, and the supermodels that Victoria's Secret promoted every year were naturally part of his hookups.
Although the tycoon didn't do that anymore, it wasn't a bad thing to make people think about it.
Victoria's Secret had already sent out an invitation, so it was normal that Tony wouldn't go.
If he went, it would be up to the editor's imagination to write the report.
The Bat and Iron couple was a perfect match for a singer and a supermodel, which was very eye-catching.
But for Luke, Sheerah wasn't the main point. The main point was that his sister, Claire, was here too.
Looking at Claire, who had clearly transformed into a college student but hadn't grown any taller, Luke caught her with a smile and spun her around before he walked to the parking lot.
The siblings hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Claire was very excited. She asked a lot of questions and talked about herself on the way.
Luke, Robert and Catherine didn't tell her about the family's financial situation in detail.
Claire only knew that the family wasn't short of money, but she didn't really care how much money they had.
That was because she was very rich now.
She hadn't made much money in the first half of her career, and had only learned the basics of being an artist.
If it were her middle school self, it would've been a long process.
But last summer, she suddenly met a mysterious old grandpa, and her physical fitness improved significantly. Coupled with her good brain and above-average musical talent, she made rapid progress.
It was still very difficult to become a super diver under these conditions.
But it wasn't a big problem to become a second or third-rate singer.
After receiving the two songs that Luke had written for her under his "stage name," and releasing the singles, Claire now considered herself the most profitable person in the family.
Yes, on the surface, she was indeed the most profitable now.
She sang her two singles, "Call", in one commercial.
Me
Maybe "and" Good Time ".
Time alone was a few thousand US dollars.
Thanks to Luke and the two big shots in the family, she wasn't addicted to making money, but she still made more than a hundred thousand dollars in just three months.
But compared with making money, she preferred the other life that the mysterious old grandpa talked about.
Being a star was a way for her to broaden her horizons and learn about society, not just for the money.
Moreover, no one in the family was short of money now, so she naturally had no sense of urgency about money.
Of course, Luke had secretly helped Claire a lot in the dark.
The CMA agency she had signed with was very impressive, but the capital was even more impressive.
With a few tricks up his sleeve, Luke bought shares from several minor shareholders of CMA.
After that … Catherine became one of the directors of the agency.
It was impossible to use this small amount of shares to order the company around, but it was enough to protect a "networker" who had his own resources.
Sheerah and Jennifer Perry, who also worked at CMA, had told the executives not to mess with this girl.
No one in CMA made a sound.
After all, buying tens of millions of shares just to protect a girl, this kind of behavior, no matter how one looked at it, was very cruel.
Not to mention that the girl came with her own work, CMA didn't lose anything.
Of course, it was still the entertainment industry.
When Claire and Luke were on the phone, she had listened to Luke's advice and seen a lot of the dark side of the entertainment industry.
Sheerah and Jennifer had also talked to her in private a few times. Sheerah, in particular, had explained in detail what to look out for in the industry.
Claire's temperament gradually calmed down.
The only thing that wasn't calm was her heart, which liked to "pursue the limits."
Luke left that to Gold Nugget 2.
Since this guy had chosen to be an old grandpa, he had to do a good job with this promising part-time job.
Claire hadn't come to New York for a holiday, but to attend a performance with Sheerah and attend a few commercial performances on her own. It could be considered a family visit and social practice in one go.
Thankfully, Sheerah's performance was just a small fan meeting, and Claire was only going to sing a song to warm up the crowd.
Thus, Claire was very relaxed.
"Aren't you going to watch me sing?" Claire launched a starry-eyed attack.
Luke chuckled like a benevolent old father. "But I'm not a fan."
Claire said, "It's a group of friends and family. Who told you to pretend to be a fan?"
Luke teased her for a moment, before he agreed and promised that Selina would support her.
Claire was very satisfied.
It couldn't be helped. If she had something worth showing off, she would have to show it off in front of Luke, this "little old man," to be truly satisfied.
Robert, Catherine, and her brother Joseph had already gone to watch her performance.
Even her grandfather, Drex, had snuck in, but the stubborn old man denied being there.
The only "heretic" in the family now was Luke, and Claire was going to drag him along no matter what.
After they got home, Claire said a few words before she challenged Selina.
Looking at his sister, who pushed Selina into the training room excitedly, Luke could only shake his head helplessly.
She had probably been bewitched by Gold Nugget's cheat and was looking for a beating.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that hers was Gold Nugget 2, while Selina had been following Gold Nugget 1.
Selina knew Claire's training progress better than Luke did.
After all, she had to adapt to the symbiotic state with Gold Nugget every day. There was no way Claire could hide what she was doing from Gold Nugget 2, and naturally, it couldn't be hidden from Selina, who was in a symbiotic relationship with Gold Nugget 1.
Compared with Claire, whose main business was learning and entertainment, Selina had been diligently beating up many gangs in New York City over the past few months, establishing a reputation as the Bone Crusher Fiend.
Claire had only beaten up a few hooligans who had robbed her, and couldn't compete with her sister in actual combat.
Sure enough, an hour later, she pushed Selina into the training room with a smug expression, and was now being helped out by Selina.
Selina had a praising expression on her face. "Not bad. You've made a lot of progress. You have to keep it up."
Claire was in despair. Keep it up so that you can beat me up again?
Selina didn't go easy on her.
Knowing that the little monkey had been a little arrogant recently, Luke didn't want her to court death just because she had Gold Nugget to protect her. He hinted with his eyes that Selina should teach her a lesson.
Most of what Gold Nugget had taught her were life-saving trump cards, and it was best not to show them off.
Unless Claire was determined to completely step into the superhero circle and was prepared to pay the price.
Otherwise, Luke wouldn't let her have the slightest hint of chivalry.
Unlike those parents in TV shows who meddled in everything, he didn't want to interfere with Claire's future plans.
The prerequisite was that she had to recognize reality and clearly understand the dangers and difficulties involved. She couldn't beat up a few people on a whim, and then retire after the excitement wore off.
If she became a vigilante with a playful attitude, sooner or later, she would drag herself and her family down with her.
The best situation was to wait for the age of superheroes to arrive and let Claire see the true face of the world before making a decision.
Vigilantes didn't treat others to meals; they had to put in their sweat and blood.
Of course, Luke basically chose to put in his own sweat and work hard to make others shed blood.
