I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 50
[Chapter 49 Many things cannot be avoided]
“Please come in, Ms. Marco.” Eric let Edico in without expression, closed the door, and walked straight to the villa.
Ediko accelerated his pace and followed behind Eric, but his eyes couldn’t help but glance at everything around the mansion. When he saw the luxurious modern villa, his eyes showed a strong envy.
Although Drew is very famous, due to age restrictions, there are not many roles suitable for her. After starring in “ET”, she just starred in four or five films one after another, and the pay is not high, and the money she earns is simply not enough. Dicko himself splurges, let alone buys such a luxurious mansion.
Moreover, in the past two years, her daughter’s self-awareness has become stronger and stronger, and her relationship with her has become worse and worse. Aidike knew that it would be more and more difficult to rely on her daughter to make money from movies. Therefore, when someone tried her to ask her to sue Ai When Rick, Edico just thought about it a little and agreed.
Because the other party promised that she would get a sum of money as long as she signed the indictment documents in her name as Drew’s guardian, and she didn’t even have to appear in court in person, and everything would be handed over to the attorney, which was almost a good thing that fell from the sky, greed How could Adiko let go.
Pushing the door and entering the living room of the villa, Drew, who heard the sound on the sofa, turned his head, the smile on his face melted like snowflakes on the stove the moment he saw his mother, and his expression changed a few times, but Drew still couldn’t hold back. The anger in his heart, he stood up, grabbed a pillow and
threw
it at Edico, while screaming: “What are you doing?” In
his hand, he glared at Drew and said, “Dru, don’t make a fool of yourself.”
Although Ediko didn’t dare to be arrogant in front of Eric, he didn’t have so many scruples in the face of his daughter, and scolded: “You little bastard, You dare to throw something at me, look what you look like now, I’m your mother, and of course I’m here to bring you home.”
“It’s ironic,” Drew waved his hand and pointed at Ediko: ” I didn’t go home so many times before, and I even got drunk once. The police picked me up from the roadside in the middle of the night and took me home. Why didn’t I see you coming to me at that time? Now you feel like you are me Mom, ha, what a joke?”
Ediko retorted: “That’s not all because you are disobedient. If you stay at home obediently, will that happen? Also, what’s going on at home, you ruined several sheets, do you know? Don’t those things cost money? Go back with me, and I’ll settle the account with you when I get home.”
Ediko said, stepping forward to go to Radru.
Eric frowned slightly when he heard Ediko’s words. The white bandages on Drew’s knees were so obvious, Ediko turned a blind eye to it, and instead cared about a few sheets, which made Eric feel a deep disgust.
Drew walked around the sofa, dodging his mother’s hand, and shouted, “Don’t even think about it, I won’t go back with you, I already know what you’re going to do, I love Eric, but you want to make peace with you for money. If others frame him together, I will never forgive you, and I will cut off the mother-daughter relationship with you.”
“You… what nonsense!” Ediko, who was suddenly punctured, was stunned and looked at Ai Rui with a guilty conscience. Ke glanced at him, feeling a little overwhelmed for a while.
Drew sneered when he saw his mother who was stunned for a moment: “Why, I was exposed, I feel guilty? Let’s not say that Eric didn’t have a relationship with me, even if it happened, I still won’t admit it at that time. As long as If you dare to sue Eric, I will go to France to testify against your false accusation, and you can go to jail.”
Seeing that Drew had a tendency to say more nasty things,
Eric hurriedly stopped and said: “Enough is enough. Now, Drew, you go upstairs first, and I’ll talk to your mother alone.”
Drew sneered at Edico again, turned and walked towards the stairs.
“Please sit down, Ms. Marco, let’s talk.” Eric put the pillow in his hand back on the sofa and sat down on his own.
Edico lowered his head slightly and sat down opposite Eric. After listening to what his daughter had just said, she suddenly felt that the money was not so easy to get.
Originally, Ediko thought that the relationship between Drew and Eric would be the same as those of Drew’s previous friends. As long as he persuaded himself, plus the temptation of money, Drew would agree to testify against Ai in court. Rick.
But Drew’s fierce reaction just now made Edico realize that his daughter fell in love with the man in front of him, and he couldn’t help himself. In the past, the mother and daughter quarreled, but Drew never said that he would cut off the mother-daughter relationship with him. talk.
More importantly, even if he sued Eric and eventually lost the lawsuit, Ediko felt that he would have nothing to lose.
But just now Drew said that he wanted to testify against himself in France for a false accusation. This crime can be light or serious, but with the wealth and status of this young man in front of him, would he easily let him go?
Thinking of this, Ediko couldn’t help shivering.
Seeing Edico who was struggling, Eric showed a sneer and asked, “Then, Ms. Marco, you also heard what Drew just said, do you still decide to do that?”
Edico was silent .
Do not speak.
“Okay, let me tell you, maybe the other party gave you a sum of money, but I’m not that easy to handle. As Drew said, you are a false accusation, and I can send you to prison in reverse. , and the people who instigated you to do this stupid thing will definitely treat you as an abandoned child. Next, Drew is an adult, because of resentment, she is likely to cut off your mother and daughter relationship with you, do you know what that means? ?” The
opposite Edico nodded subconsciously, and then quickly shook his head.
Eric continued: “This means that your most important source of income is completely cut off, and as far as I know, you have no means of making a living, and it is very likely that you will spend the rest of your life in poverty, or even fall into the slums of Los Angeles. Thinking
of
that terrifying situation, Ediko retorted with a lack of confidence: “No, it’s impossible, she can’t treat me like that, I raised her.”
“So what, after all these years, Drew Is there less money to earn for you? She doesn’t owe you anything. Even if you make this incident in the media, with what you have done, not many people will sympathize with you.”
Ediko said no again When the words came out, Eric calmed the other party down for a while before asking: “Did you take the money from those people?”
Edico shook his head weakly: “They said, I have to wait for me to sign the indictment. If you speak, you will give me money.”
Eric nodded with satisfaction: “This is very good, everything can be salvaged. So now, I will give you another option, go back and immediately reject those people. I will give you a sum of money first, but you have to promise later Don’t bother Drew again, I’ll find her an agent who will take care of her life, and when Drew is an adult, I’ll convince her to give you a yearly alimony, enough for you to live a decent middle-class life. After Eric finished speaking, he took out
the
checkbook, filled in the amount on it, and pushed it in front of Edico.
Ediko glanced at the amount on the check, his eyes flashed with greed, he stretched out his hand slightly, but quickly withdrew, greed was not enough: “Mr. Williams, is one million too little? ?”
Eric snorted coldly: “It’s really a bit small, maybe I should change a check for 500,000.”
Ediko quickly grabbed the check and put it in his arms.
“Okay, now that you have made a choice, then, I have a few things to say, first of all, you can no longer make money in the name of Drew, including not revealing Drew’s private life to reporters, and not being able to be on TV. Show, no book about Drew…I will let my personal lawyer draw up a contract with legal effect, once you violate the agreement, then everything I said today will not count, and you will take I
have to spit out all the money I get.”
Edico quickly calculated the pros and cons, and the prohibitions mentioned by Eric didn’t seem to bring much money to him, so he nodded quickly.
“Then, now, Ms. Adico, you can leave, and I will ask the lawyer to draw up the contract as soon as possible.”
Adiko said goodbye with a smile, completely ignoring Drew’s intentions, and left in a hurry.
After sending Edico back to the living room, Drew had walked downstairs and saw Eric, the girl rushed over, with a little excitement on her face, rubbing against Eric: “Eric Ke, you are so generous, a million, I am yours now.”
Eric rubbed Drew’s head and smiled: “You are not a doll, you are still yourself, but remember, girl , you owe me a million dollars, and you still have to pay it back in the future.”
Drew sneered: “I won’t pay it back, I decided to use myself to pay off the debt, I don’t mind being a doll.”
Eric knocked on Drew’s forehead: “Don’t talk nonsense, just now you Have you called for takeout?”
“Yes,” Drew said: “Eric, why did you just say that I should give that… her a sum of money every year in the future, I don’t want to care about her, it’s better to let her die of poverty. What.”
Eric sighed and rubbed the girl’s head. After all, Drew was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his thoughts were inevitably a bit extreme.
In the previous life, Drew, even if he clearly cut off the father-daughter relationship with his father, would still give each other an alimony every year. At that time, Drew was mature.
“You’ll understand in the future, Drew. This is a kind of… fate. In one’s life, many things can’t be avoided.”
Drew nodded with a vague understanding, and soon became a little excited: “Eric, can I live in your house in the future?”
Eric shook his head: “Dru, it’s time for you to go back to school. I plan to choose a boarding school for you. After so many things, it’s been a long time since you Have you been to class?”
“No, Eric, I have a headache when I read the book, shall I continue to make movies?”
“No,” Eric refused, “you must at least finish high school, Like it or not, it’s an experience, and you’re an awkward age, and there aren’t many movies for you.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Drew quickly complied with Eric Arrangements, and at the same time thinking about skipping classes or something is the most loving.
