Chapter 728: Conclusion
With October arriving, Warner Bros. released their political tribute movie Argo.
Charles's influence in Hollywood was unquestionable. Countless stars voiced their support for Obama online and in newspapers, dramatically boosting Obama's approval ratings!
New York, in a vacation villa at East Hampton's Gold Coast on Long Island, Charles rolled off Blake Lively.
Then, Elizabeth Olsen slipped under the covers to continue serving!
"Hmm," Charles said, enjoying the pleasure lying on top of Blake Lively.
"Love," Blake Lively kissed Charles on the chest, "some tabloids say you are the world's richest man now!"
"Newspapers always talk nonsense," Charles laughed and closed his eyes, stifling a groan shortly after.
Elizabeth Olsen emerged from under the covers and jumped on top of Blake Lively, kissing her on the lips!
Seeing this scene, Charles just calmly shook his head. What deep sisterhood, wanting to share the good things.
...
On November 6th, Election Day, Democrat Obama won the presidential election by capturing over half the electoral votes, 336 votes to 202 against Republican Mitt Romney, successfully securing a second term as President of the United States!
...
In Miami, the pregnant Ivanka decided to stay in West Palm Beach to await the birth. Lying in Charles's arms, she said, "This time, you did the most!"
Charles smiled, "It's all good. Presidents come and go, but capital is solid. Now I, Charles Capet, am the king of Hollywood; no one can ignore me. David Rockefeller, David Koch, Warren Buffett, and Bill Gates alike are all out of the question. Jewish capital like Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke? Also no!"
"And in the future, who will be your opponents?" Ivanka's beautiful eyes sparkled - this was her man, as she gently placed a hand on little Charles.
"Future opponents, huh," countless faces flashed through Charles's mind, mostly from Jewish capital.
Silicon Valley's Google, Apple, and Facebook;
Hollywood's Disney and 21st Century Fox;
Wall Street's Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Blackstone, etc.!
"No matter if it's Democrats or Republicans, I've supported many. The entire state of California cannot resist Capet's influence," Charles chuckled. "In the future, the Capet family will flourish!"
...
Leaving Miami, Charles headed to his villa in Long Island, New York, to accompany the heavily pregnant Anne Hathaway.
"In two months I'm due, and I'm getting nervous," Anne Hathaway said, leaning on Charles on the sofa.
"Relax, we still have time to think of a good name," Charles said, touching Anne Hathaway's stomach.
"Mm..."
...
When Charles returned to California, it was already the end of the month. At the San Luis Obispo Ranch, he saw his two sons!
"Daddy," Dashiell, now a year and a half old, wobbled to Charles and was picked up.
"Hmm," Charles kissed Dashiell's cheek and asked, "Where's your brother?"
"With Grandma," the little one pointed at Evelyn who was holding Lucas Capet not far away.
Charles walked over with Dashiell in his arms, sitting on the sofa as Lucas, who was six months old, grinned widely!
"Congress just passed the Intellectual Property Protection Act.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 has been out for more than half a month, earning nearly 250 million in North America box office, with $400 million overseas.
Iron Man 3 grossed more than 400 million in North America and over $1.2 billion globally.
The Hunger Games made more than 400 million in North America and $700 million globally.
Next, Ant-Man will be released. The momentum of Capet's dominance in Hollywood has reached its peak!" Evelyn casually mentioned while playing with Lucas.
Charles chuckled, "The next ten years will belong to Capet. Hollywood will be totally under Universal's rule."
"Anne Hathaway's due soon, right?"
"January next year is her due date!"
"What about Ivanka?"
"Ivanka is two months pregnant," Charles did not hide such matters from his mother.
Dashiell got down from Charles's arms and ran to Evelyn, "Grandma, when can my brother play with me?"
"Dashiell, your brother is still small. Wait until he grows a bit, okay?" Evelyn affectionately petted her grandson's head.
Then, Evelyn handed Lucas to Charles as her phone rang.
Once Evelyn went to the study room, Charles held Lucas with one hand and picked up Dashiell with the other, walking to the yard.
Bathed in the evening glow, the shadows of the father and sons stretched longer and longer.
Charles's mind wandered. At this moment, Dashiell held his brother Lucas's tiny hand, seemingly enjoying their chat despite Lucas's unclear speech.
From 2001 to 2012, Charles spent 11 years uniting Hollywood, becoming the unchallenged media mogul in America!
Recalling Ivanka's earlier query about future opponents -
Hehe, opponents, huh? With each stage comes new rivals. Disney's reign is broken.
News Corp has been split, its reputation crumbling, declining day by day.
Viacom doesn't even qualify as a rival to Charles.
Power is heavily divided within Time Warner and Warner Bros. hits a low period.
Sony dares not meddle in the internal Hollywood power struggle.
Comcast's MGM was raised single-handedly by Charles himself!
Wall Street, Hollywood, Silicon Valley!
Politics, finance, technology, and entertainment all orbit around the colossal Capet capital now.
"Dashiell, Lucas," Charles called to the two little ones in his arms with a smile.
"Daddy," Dashiell and Lucas looked up at Charles with their adorable, curious eyes!
"Look, all of this is the empire daddy built for you," Charles pointed to the distant sunset.
Of course, the little ones didn't understand, just giggling and reaching out to grab Charles's face!
"Hahaha," Charles laughed with them, their laughter echoing far into the distance.
As the sun set, the shadows of Charles holding his children stretched longer...
The End.
