Hollywood Domination Chapter 453: The confession game

How did all this happen?

Jon thought dizzily, she glanced at Harry next to her, and then glanced at Cesare in the distance—if it was the past, it would be great to be in the same room with such a well-known socialite. The physical distance is so close, and the other party is so handsome and outstanding - with her personality of liking handsome men and beautiful women, she has long been dizzy with joy, but now she can't care about paying attention to Cesare, or even Jennifer The only question she could think about was, seriously, how did all of this happen?

Of course, from an intellectual point of view, she has fully understood the current situation, but Zade—that guy who gets together with her every now and then, talks humorously, is normal, lovable, and even goes abroad Zade who will bring her a present? What is this-

It was as if her brain had been stuck for too long just now, and the countless torrents of information were only now beginning to be processed in batches. Enlightenment emerged from Jon's heart one by one: so all of this should be fake, he I approached them entirely because I heard their conversation in the theater at that time, and knew that Charles or she might have a close contact with j.j... His business trip was not a business trip, but to follow j.j. Everything tonight was carefully arranged by him The result, and the lies he said—what kind of crazy words like attention prostitutes——

Don't know why, it's harder to accept that Zade is a paranoid maniac than a stalker pervert, of course, it's not that he's not crazy what he's doing now, it's just - he is so calm and has everything under control In the palm of his hand, since he pulled out the gun and held j.j hostage, nothing was out of control. Chasing away the mobs and all, leaving the three of them, closing the hall - Zade really knew what he was doing, Jon had a vague sense that he had a plan, she just - she just really didn't know what the **** he was talking about , what does it mean to start from the name? You can't reason with a madman, yes, but—

And Jennifer—poor Jennifer, she looked at the thin figure at the top of the stairs, and thought with regret and guilt: If everyone knew that she stayed for us and gave him a chance for us, people What would you say?

The thought brought great fear, and an almost unbearable sense of suffocation. Jon realized that Jennifer might not be able to get out unscathed, and Zad—though she could feel it, he did not hurt her and Harry, Charles' intentions, and surprisingly, she even sensed that he was still...approving, friendly to them, like he still considered them his friends after all of this - he just There were other arrangements for them, mostly to make them bear witness to it - but that didn't mean he couldn't do them harm.

She may be forced to be here to witness the death of Jennifer, her idol of love for many years, the best person in the world.

This will completely destroy her, it will definitely, not only Jennifer, what Zade is trying to do now will cause irreparable damage to everyone in this room, and what is even more unacceptable is that, He doesn't intend to finish this quickly, and before he finally achieves his goal, he wants to play a game of cat and mouse——

Jon felt suffocated. She wanted to rush forward and yell at Zad for his cruelty and madness. Well, it's not doing Jennifer or her any good, after all, they're unarmed and Zade has a gun.

And—maybe what Zade was saying wasn't gibberish, they were really talking about something. Jennifer's expression - when she recovered from the absolute daze and shock, she could see that Jennifer had been thinking about countermeasures, and Zade's words made her face panic for the first time, it wasn't ' whatthehell, what the **** happened' panic, but...

Jon hates to admit it, but Jennifer's expression can only remind her of the student who got caught cheating, the kid who got caught throwing a party on a parent's night out, and her shaken makes this It got worse, and she almost groaned in pain: this crazy game of cat and mouse, the crazy game Zade wanted to play, had begun, and she really—really really didn't want to— Accepting this progress, she wants to escape from here and end it all—there has never been a moment when she hated her own powerlessness so much—

Cesare's back remained motionless, still maintaining a posture of looking up, while the struggle and reluctance on Jennifer's face were clearly visible, her face wrinkled, and Zade seemed to have pushed her back with a gun , causing her to take a step forward in embarrassment, and Zade said sweetly, "Jennifer——"

His tone of voice of the word 'Jennifer' is sarcastic, "Do I have to shoot someone to make you talk?"

He moved out and aimed at the bottom of the stairs, causing a suppressed exclamation. Jon instinctively took a step back, but was ignited by anger, and rushed forward instead. To be honest, she was not afraid of him—— But Zade immediately stuffed the **** next to her temple, "Or I just end the game, you know how much I want to just possess you."

"Jenny!" Cesare shouted in a low voice, his tone was low, full of panic, and seemed to be conveying more information. Jennifer's struggle slowed down, she looked at Cesare for a while, then sighed suddenly, and said in a low voice, "What do you want to know?"

"Here you go!" Zade yelled happily, and he kissed Jennifer loudly on the cheek, and the disgust on her face was fleeting, "Stop playing dumb, beauty, just Let's start with your name—your real name isn't Jennifer Jefferson, is it?"

What?

Even in this situation, Jon can feel Harry and Charles panting beside her, and even she is momentarily pulled away from the pain and back into the 'world turned upside down' feeling: After ten years of liking, tell her that Jennifer is not Jennifer, which—

"Yes." Jennifer said, and Jon could almost see the world falling into pieces. "My real name is Jenny Jefferson—this is a very informal name. For the sake of memory, we ...I changed my name to Jennifer."

"And who are you talking about us?" Zade tilted his head, showing a playful smile.

Jennifer sighed, her eyes were not looking at anyone before, she was completely empty, but now she is looking at Cesare—she said helplessly, "Cesare and I... It was a decision we made together."

"—I made the decision," Cesare said, "She was just a 20-year-old girl who didn't know anything about show business—everything you want to know is my decision .”

The smile on Zade's mouth deepened, and he said in a cadence, "Is——? What do you think, j.j?"

Jennifer——Jon suddenly realized that she should not be called Jennifer anymore, but the real name and the reason for changing her name made her feel relieved, and even made her feel a little mocking towards Zade Of course, it is a bit weird to be concealed, but, to be honest, there is not that big difference between Jenny and Jennifer, and it is a bit strange that the full name is Jenny, maybe it has the same relationship with Jennifer... no, Jenny's Because of her background, her parents really don't seem to be so responsible.

When Jenny's eyes flicked across her face, she wanted to show her support and let her know that Zade's game was not working, but Jenny didn't seem to receive this, she almost Passing her expressionlessly, his eyes fell on Cesare again. Jon thought that they must be communicating to some extent. She couldn't help but look at the dv beside her: the red dot was flashing steadily, filming all of these.

"No," Jenny finally said, her face deadpan, "it wasn't his idea alone, it was our decision."

"Okay, tell me, isn't this all getting more and more fun?" Zade laughed, "And don't you wonder how I found this out?"

"My driver's license, social security..." Jenny said indifferently, "it's not difficult."

"Yes, and this matter is not too big, so no one who knows the truth has ever mentioned it—a good appetizer." Zade said, "Then enter the first appetizer—"

He waved his gun like a chef bowing, "ta-dah—the ring of innocence."

The vow of chastity is also false? Jon froze for a moment, but he was not as surprised when he heard that the name was fake - after all, this happened many years ago, and his memory is a little fuzzy, and this is also a behavior she will not imitate, because she is not a strict Christian. But... This feeling is still very complicated. On the one hand, there is the excitement of hearing *, but on the other hand, she has already faintly felt the direction of this game, and Jon has a feeling that this is like a Pandora demon Box, she certainly wouldn't want to hear the last.

"...yes," said Jenny, she still looked so pretty, and even though her face was covered with frost, there was still a strange beauty in this scene. "This is also false."

"When did you lose your virginity?"

"At...17, with my high school friends," Jenny said.

"How many people did you make out with before you put on your innocence ring?"

"...More than a dozen," Jenny seemed to struggle to recall, and finally said through gritted teeth, "—does this satisfy you, Edward?"

Zade chuckled nonchalantly, his eyes turned to Jon, and smiled at her knowingly, as if seeing through her current thoughts, Jon had a very uncomfortable feeling, as if she was being tortured. Zade played with it, but——she couldn't stop the surprise. 17 years old? more than ten? This is really - there are too many gaps with the Jennifer in her mind -

"That satisfies me—you're an honest girl, yes," he cooed. "Your first time was at a boy's house. His name was Mark Clumber. He had contacted him several times. Tabloid media, tell 'em he's your first time, but this guy who told the truth was cast as a liar, berated and harassed by your fans...are you sorry, j.j?"

Jon couldn't help but look at Jennifer—Jennifer's expression. At this moment, the desire for knowledge overwhelmed everything. She forgot about the complicated situation, Jennifer's situation, and questioning The truth and falsehood in her words——

Jennifer pursed her lips, with a blank expression, she stubbornly remained silent, while Zade admired all this with great interest, and didn't mean to urge her.

Cesare stepped up another flight of stairs.

"It's me—" he said.

"Shut up!" Zade changed his face instantly, and he scolded viciously, "No one is talking to you - back off!"

"It was a decision I discussed with Cesare." At the same time, Jennifer seemed to have made a decision, she swallowed, and said loudly and clearly to the camera, "In order to avoid the possibility of sexual bribery— —”

"Jenny!" Cesare called out softly, Zade burst into laughter, and Jenny's eyes stayed on Cesare's face for a moment, she shook her head gently, as if conveying her own Decision-Jon was a little puzzled by the scene in front of her, and then she slowly understood: everything is being videotaped, and everything will be evidence.

"So I decided to promote my virginity ring, it would be good for the image, and it would turn people off of me." Jennifer said flatly, as if she already knew the consequences of the video exposure-if Her mention of exact names, her mention of someone sexually demanding her, is sure to get her in trouble, and of course the whole thing—though Jon thinks she can accept Jenny's reasons as well, she It can be felt that she is telling the truth now, and this is indeed their reason-so it may be acceptable to fans and the public after she presents this reason, but deceiving colleagues may be lead to more serious consequences. "It will allow us to reduce the risk of similar requests."

... Cesare should be made to shoulder this responsibility! Although she was cheated twice in a row, Jon was still instinctively worried about her idol. At this moment, she really couldn't talk about taking Cesare into consideration, but only worried about Jennifer wholeheartedly: Just now Cesare put his intentions It was so obvious, why did Jennifer still say that the decision was made by the two of them together? If the video is exposed in this way——

The gun pressed against her temple somewhat reminded her of the current situation, but Jennifer's honesty obviously made Zade very happy, and he laughed silently, "Good reason, oh, you at that time What a nice girl, isn't she? You haven't gotten too far."

The gun was back behind Jenny, and Zade said kindly, "I think you've figured this out, darling, that I do know a lot about you—next, let's level up the game and play Make it bigger."

He stretched out his other hand and pointed around Jenny's neck to the four people under the stairs. "You have to confess yourself, how many lies are there? If I find out that you have jumped one—boom!"

His shout startled everyone, Zade laughed uncontrollably, "I'll just kill one. OK?"

Jennifer swallowed again, she seemed to have understood Zade's intentions, and under Jon's anxious gaze - to be honest, she still didn't think Zade would really kill people, and, Compared with being forced to admit Zade's words, the meaning of saying these things by herself is completely different. Jenny shouldn't agree, really shouldn't—

"Okay," Jenny said, her tone full of depression. This time her eyes stayed on Jon's face. At that moment, her expression was complicated, like a patient about to undergo amputation. , although she has accepted the reality, the struggle and reluctance still left marks on her face. "I know what you're talking about—that thing in London—"

"Boom!"

There was another loud bang, Charles screamed, Jon crouched down instinctively, under the cover of the gunshots, it took her a few seconds to hear Zade's roar, the room was full of his voice , exuding the smell of gunpowder smoke, full of anger and madness: "! bitch!"

Jon swallowed another scream, checked Harry, Charles, and Cesare - luckily, they seemed all right, and Jennifer - Jennifer wasn't shot, thank goodness, Zade Not aiming, it was just a warning, "You challenge me to try again, Jenny Jefferson, you stupid, stupid, stupid woman! Start with Josh and don't leave out one thing - it's Your last chance to honestly confess your obscenity to the camera - this is your confession!"

Josh—Josh? Jon thought slowly, still half in the shock just now, unable to recover, while Jennifer took a few deep breaths, as if to suppress her anger, "I...I understand."

Facing the camera, she said in a tense tone, "I—Jenny Jefferson hereby admits that my relationship with Josh...my relationship with Josh Blanche is fake...it's a contract relationship."

"What?!" Jon couldn't help exclaiming, even though she was determined just now, she would never give Zade any positive reaction, but—what?

Zade smiled approvingly at her, and he said, "See—Jon, look—"

He turned to Jenny again, and his tone became authoritative, "Go on, talk a little more, tell all the secrets."

"...We were both on the rise at the time, and a proper relationship would be beneficial to the exposure of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and our popularity," Jennifer took a few deep breaths, and said dully, "From falling in love to getting engaged is a Fake, Josh had another girlfriend, and I stayed single most of the time, until Chris and I were filming "The Fifth Sally"-"

What! Jon almost wanted to yell again, she and Chris were so early—

"And why did you break up with Josh?"

"He couldn't take it anymore, his girlfriend left him, he was frustrated, and Chris didn't want to be a secret lover anymore."

"Hmm, interesting - don't want to ask me why I know?"

"...Because you have broken into my house many times..."

"Yeah, because you're a stupid girl," Zade laughed, and patted her cheek with a gun, "and what motive did you agree to?"

"...This is a memorandum signed with the starring contract of "Pirates of the Caribbean." Think about what will happen if I don't want to cooperate with this propaganda method."

"There's always a reason, isn't it?" Zade said cheerfully, "Go on, go on--by the way, I've let go of your college life, honey, and your OOP Laxie, if you know what I mean."

What do you mean? The Oprah Show? College life? ——Can even this be faked?

Jon didn't know how to react now, she was like an overloaded computer, she could only stand there blankly, staring at Jennifer above, she was so beautiful—— So beautiful, even now being held hostage, humiliated, and forced to reveal all her secrets in front of strange fans-her beauty is so familiar, but at the same time she seems so strange, does she really know her? ? What else was true of all the things she knew? How many times, she spent all night defending her on the Internet, refuting the untrue rumors of haters, but suddenly didn't realize that what the other party held was the truth, and everything she believed in was——— —

Jennifer's eyes shifted from Cesare to her again, Charles, Harry—she finally looked at Jon, her delicate and beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her face was written all over. Hesitating to speak, Jon even vaguely felt a hint of apology. She pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but Zade's shoulder pushed her, and she bumped forward a few steps again.

"...and what happened in London," she said, her tone low and depressing, "Jeff Cohen eavesdropped on me, you...you killed him."

"What!"

It wasn't Jon who exclaimed this time, but Harry, who had been quiet all along, and even Charles exclaimed. Jon was dizzy, and it was hard to tell the truth from the fake again--deceit was one thing, human life--human life was another, Zade, Zade, Zade-

"Yes." Zade said calmly, with deep satisfaction in his tone, "I killed him as a gift to you. But what you gave me in return was a big disappointment. What?"

"I... I had someone destroy Shef's body." Jennifer said, her red lips trembling, "I arranged for someone to wait for you near the apartment. When you go back, they Shot you, you got shot, fell into the river—"

"Very lucky to have survived," Zade said, "very, very lucky--now, dear, Jenny, can you tell me what made you disregard the rule of law? You know what a good citizen does Yes, what made you make such a choice?"

"Ohmygod," Harry whispered beside Jon, "it's a crime—Jesus, it's a crime—"

"Yes, it's a crime!" Zade said, his eyes lit up, and he poked his head out from behind Jenny with a smile, "That's a crime, isn't it?—now you understand me, Harry, I Why would you treat this lovely, beautiful—"

He tightened his grip on Jenny's neck, and Jenny was forced to lean back into his arms, "Miss whore, whore, did you do such a thing?—she really didn't give me much Select."

Jon looked at Harry helplessly, and Harry kept shaking his head, but he didn't answer Zade in the end, and Jenny struggled in Zade's arms and said, "Because I don't want you to get away with it." ——I don't want you to hurt me!"

For the first time after being held hostage, her volume was amplified, and the dull and depressed Jenny seemed to crack open, replaced by this roaring, positive, and confrontational Jenny. I can hear her voice once without using God, "Because I know exactly what you want, you want to destroy my acting career, and let me go home like Jodie Foster. , until you get caught, that's what you want - control me, destroy me, own me in a way -"

She gritted her teeth and laughed, and Jon stared at her blankly, almost dazzled, "But I won't let you do what you want, you think you can destroy me with your shamelessness, Edward Potter , you're wrong, you'll never do it, you're not the only one who can play dirty - did I surprise you that time, Potter? Did I give you a taste of what it's like to be ambushed, huh? How does it feel to be shot—"

Under Zade's hard tightening, she snorted and fell silent, and Zade couldn't help being silent for a moment—it seemed that even he felt Jennifer's pressure at this moment.

"So..." After a while, he said, maybe the weakness in his tone surprised himself, he paused to adjust, and then continued in a natural tone, "ugh, you played beautifully , Jenny, this is one of your best performances."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, "—come again, continue, continue, continue—you and Cesare—"

Jon heard the gasps of Charles and Harry, and of course she too, all of this, all of the past - the laughter, screams and tears at the Oscars, the moment of announcement under the eyes of the world - Jenny The tone of talking about it all with Zade——

During their inhalation, Jenny seemed to have lost all her strength. She kept shaking her head slightly, looking at them almost pleadingly and apologetically, looking at Jon, but Jon could no longer straighten up. Look into her eyes——

"I cried for you," she said, trying to get up the stairs, but Harry stopped her and said loudly from the edge of the steps, "I was there that night—that was me. The most glorious night of my life, I witnessed two miracles in a row - I cried for you!"

An even worse guess came to mind, almost—almost destroyed everything about her, but now, after everything just now—

"Oscar," she said, "the last Oscar—was it an appointment?"

Time was almost frozen, and Zade's ecstatic laughter was excluded by Jon, and it seemed that only she and Jenny were left in the world. At this moment, they established some kind of mysterious relationship. Contact, eyes locked on each other, wordless information exchanged in gaze——

Jennie's eyes seemed to be crying silently, sighing helplessly, and after a period of silence, she nodded softly, almost invisible.

That is predetermined, the entire awards ceremony is predetermined, the entire announcement scene is predetermined, all the touching, tears and sparks of love are predetermined——

Jon began to shake her head wildly, and she backed away slowly, back and forth.

She said, "—and I cried for you!"
