The Tyrant Billionaire

All women were the same.

Keeping things simple made them happier.

In the afternoon, Ava had a sudden inspiration and decided to write a song, capturing the relaxed, carefree feelings of a couple in a cozy cabin. If the song turned out well, it might become the theme song for her new movie.

Ava got busy.

With some free time on his hands, Hardy decided to work on something of his own—perhaps a movie script.

He pulled out a sheet of paper and wrote down a title.

The Seven Year Itch.

This was Monroe's breakout film. The iconic scene where Monroe's white dress billows up over a subway vent became an eternal classic and a symbol of Hollywood itself.

The story of The Seven Year Itch wasn't complicated. Hardy had seen it many times in his previous life, and he quickly wrote out the outline, adding some details as he went along.

The classic scene was indispensable.

"On top of a subway vent in New York, a gust of wind blows up as the train passes. The girl happens to be standing on the grate. As the wind blows, her white dress flutters upward, exposing everything beneath. Embarrassed and flustered, the girl closes her eyes and tries to cover herself."

In just over a month, the Super Idol competition would end, and Monroe would win third place and the title of Most Popular Singer with the Audience.

But aside from singing, Hardy still believed Monroe's greatest strength was her on-screen presence.

Her greatest impact didn't come from her voice but from her visual appeal.

People didn't tune in to hear her sing—they tuned in to see her. So acting in films and television was her true calling.

When the competition was over, Hardy planned to have his film company create The Seven Year Itch for her.

Once that was finished, they could move on to another of Monroe's iconic films, Some Like It Hot.

Hardy then wrote the outline for Some Like It Hot.

After finishing the outlines for both films, Hardy looked up and saw Ava asleep on the couch near the fireplace, her notebook and pencil having fallen to the floor.

Hardy chuckled and shook his head.

He walked over, picked her up, and tucked her into the warm bed. Then he returned to collect her notebook and pencil and noticed that Ava had already written part of a song.

Hardy set the notebook aside and returned to his seat.

With some extra time, he decided to write the outline for Roman Holiday. Henry had already found Audrey Hepburn, and Edward had gone to the UK. Hardy was confident Edward would sign that elegent girl.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Once Audrey Hepburn joined the company, they could begin preparing for Roman Holiday. In his previous life, Roman Holiday had been Hepburn's first starring role, and it had made her a star overnight. From that moment on, she became the goddess in the hearts of men worldwide.

As for Marilyn Monroe?

She was the dream lover of men all over the world.

In their dreams, anything was possible, and everything could be done.

After completing the script outline, Hardy closed the notebook. He went to the bedroom and found Ava still sleeping, smiling as he quietly went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

The smell of steak woke Ava from her nap. Dressed in her pajamas, she walked up behind Hardy, wrapped her arms around his broad waist, and pressed her cheek against his back.

"Did you have a good nap?"

"Yes, it was so relaxing. I haven't had such a carefree rest in a long time." Ava murmured as she snuggled against Hardy's back.

"Are you hungry?"

"Mmhmm."

"It'll be ready soon. Go set the table."

"Okay."

Ava stood on her tiptoes, kissed Hardy on the cheek, and ran off to set the table. Soon, dinner was ready.

After dinner, they returned to the bedroom and indulged in passion without restraint until they were completely spent.

At dawn.

Their vacation came to an end. Adams and his team arrived to escort them down the mountain. After packing their belongings, the two left, but instead of returning to the mineral water company, they headed straight to the ranch.

The ranch had a few wooden buildings, a manager, and several cowboys. There were barns and hay storage to keep the cattle comfortable, ensuring they would make it through the winter. After a brief inspection, Hardy said his goodbyes and left.

As soon as they returned to Los Angeles, Hardy received a series of good news.

Edward came to report that he had signed Audrey Hepburn and brought her back to Los Angeles for training, showing Hardy the schedule and training plan.

After reviewing it, Hardy felt Edward had arranged everything well.

"Boss, would you like to meet Miss Hepburn?"

Hardy thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No rush. Let's wait for a bit. Just follow the plan and let her take on a few small roles to gain some experience first."

After Edward left, Hardy's secretary came in, smiling with excitement. "Chairman, I have two pieces of good news to report."

"Oh? What's the good news?"

"The first is that two days ago, the general manager of Occidental Petroleum, John, called to report that they struck oil. John said the quality of the oil is excellent, and the output is high—it's a high-quality well."

That was indeed good news.

Hardy had acquired Occidental Petroleum and, as a test of luck, had given them $100,000 to continue drilling.

To his surprise, they had actually struck oil.

In later years, Occidental only struck oil after being sold to the 'lucky businessman' Armand Hammer, which propelled it toward becoming an oil giant. Hardy never expected that after acquiring the company himself, he too would strike oil.

Hardy wasn't just excited about the money from the oil. What pleased him more was knowing that he possessed the same good fortune as the so-called 'luck buisnessman.'

"What's the other good news?" Hardy asked.

"The other good news is that yesterday, Columbus, the head of Wash Mining, sent a telegram. He reported that they discovered a mineral deposit in Australia, and it's a gold mine," the secretary said.

Hardy was stunned.

What? He had sent them to find copper or iron, and they ended up discovering a gold mine?

It seems that after his lucky win at the casino, his fortune had increased significantly. Good things were now happening one after another.

Hardy laughed heartily, "Hahaha~~~!"
