I’m in Hollywood

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. With anger in his heart, he stood up abruptly, grabbed a pillow and threw it at Edico, while screaming, What are you doing here?

The pillow was a little smashed, Eric quickly took it over and held it in his hand, glared at Drew and said, Dru, don't be ridiculous.

Although Ediko did not dare to be arrogant in front of Eric, he did not have so many scruples in the face of his daughter, and scolded: You little bastard, you dare to throw things at me, look what you look like now, I am Your mother, of course, came to take you home.

It's ironic, Drew waved his hand and pointed at Edico: I've stayed out of the house so many times before, even drunk once, and the police picked me up from the roadside and brought me back in the middle of the night. Home, why didn't you see me at that time? Now you think you are my mother, 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, and stepped 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 sever the mother-daughter relationship with you.

You... what nonsense are you talking about! Ediko, who was suddenly punctured, froze there and glanced at Eric with a guilty conscience, 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 will go to jail.

Seeing that Drew has a tendency to say more nasty things,

Eric quickly and timely stopped: Enough, Drew, you go upstairs first, and I will talk to your mother alone.

Drew stared at Edico and snorted 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 heard what Drew just said, do you still decide to do that?

Ediko was silent.

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? ?

Adiko, who was opposite, 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. inside.

Thinking of that terrifying situation, Ediko retorted with insufficient confidence: No, it's impossible, she can't treat me like that, I raised her.

So what, after all these years, does Drew make less money for you? She doesn't owe you anything. Even if you make this incident in the media, with what you do, there won't be many people. Sympathize with you.

Edico was speechless again, and Eric calmed the other party down for a while before asking, Did you take money from those people?

Adiko shook his head weakly: They said that they would not give me the money until I signed the indictment.

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 Ediko.

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 little bit, maybe I should change a check for half a million.

Ediko quickly grabbed the check and shoved it into 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 How much money you get, you have to spit it out.

Edico quickly calculated the pros and cons. The prohibitions mentioned by Eric did not seem to bring much money to him, and nodded quickly.

Then, now, Ms. Adiko, you can leave, and I will let the lawyer draw up the contract as soon as possible.

Ediko said his goodbyes 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 with a smile and said, You are not a doll, you are still yourself, but remember, girl, you owe me a million dollars, and you will still have to pay it back in the future.

Drew shamelessly said: If I don't pay it back, I decided to repay the debt with myself. I don't mind being a doll.

Eric knocked on Drew's forehead: Don't talk nonsense, did you just order takeout?

Called, 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.

Eric sighed and rubbed the girl's head. After all, Drew was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his thoughts were inevitably a little extreme. Drew in the previous life, 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. It's 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: Drew, it's time for you to go back to school. I'm going to choose a boarding middle school for you. After so many things, how long has it been since you went to class?

No, Eric, I have a headache when I see the book. Can I continue making movies?

No, Eric refused. You have to at least finish high school, whether you like it or not, it's an experience, and you're an embarrassing age, and there aren't many movies for you.

Okay, I'll just listen to you. Drew quickly complied with Eric's arrangement, and at the same time thought that skipping classes would be the most loving.
