King of Hollywood Chapter 302: Then I will ruin you

The study is quiet, let alone a needle drop, you can hear it even if you lose a hair. A man and a woman in front of and behind the desk just looked at each other and said nothing, filled with a strange atmosphere.

Finally, Natalie lowered her eyelids and took a deep breath: "You taught me, Ed."

Adrian did not speak, and still looked at her very calmly, with no emotional ups and downs, and even her movements remained unchanged. This made her a little uneasy. In fact, when the other person spoke before, she could no longer capture his emotional fluctuations, not at all. This is not good, which means that she will not be able to judge his reaction, and she will not be able to respond appropriately.

"I'm sorry and sorry." Natalie continued, at the same time showing a calm look. In any case, it is impossible to stop at this point, and since it has already been challenged, or Adrian initiatively challenged, it is better to be more frank, and concealment will only be counterproductive.

Adrian still didn't speak, always watching her motionlessly calmly, as if she wanted to see through her. This feeling is very bad. Although Natalie tried her best to keep her posture still, she couldn't help but pinch twice.

"Since you don't want to talk, just do it for the time being," she said at last, and then got up and walked to the door. At the same time, she exhaled in her heart, and as soon as she got out of the door, she won.

When you put your hand on the armrest, a smile even crossed the corner of your mouth, but at the same time, the voice of Adrian sounded out of place: "Wait."

The man who has been sitting there stood up, bypassed the desk and came to her: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to..."

He leaned over to make a few whispers in her ear, and Natalie, who had also remained calm, first froze, followed by her face becoming white, and there was also some unbelievable mixed in his eyes. The look comes.

"How do you... how can you..." Her lips were trembling, and despite her efforts to control her emotions, her voice still became a little sharp, "How can you do this!"

"Why can't I do this?" Adrian leaned back to the desk and shrugged, with a casual tone. Although he still had no expression, he gave a sense of dominance.

How can this happen? Natalie's body shivered slightly, and her chest began to fluctuate greatly, which was completely beyond the plan. For a time, she didn't know how to respond. Why is this? !

"Don’t forget, Ed..." She bit her lip and looked at him deadly, "We...we were...I was..."

"Oh? Are you going to sue me? Where?" Adrian continued to shrug, "New York? California? Or Connecticut?"

(Note: Among similar cases, the ups and downs of Connecticut are the largest, and the minimum is only 9 months)

"Yes, you can make a big deal, but what about that? I just need to set up a most luxurious and large group of lawyers. Maybe there will be many lawyers who are eager to pass a lawsuit and become famous on your side. , But I still have a lot of friends, the State House, Capitol Hill, Wall Street, they will be happy to help me, as long as-I can afford the price," even when saying this, he still has no expression, "By the way Spend a small amount of money to buy a jury—you don’t need all of it, just buy a few and disturb other people’s ideas. This is a very simple matter.”

Natalie’s face is gone, but Adrian continues: "Well, even if everything goes against me, the conviction, the judge pronounces, and it’s still in New York, but for up to three days I You can come out. As for the reputation, wait a little longer for two years. After things have faded, and then make two art films, they will naturally start to tout me again, because-art and artist are two different things. Charlie Chaplin, Roman? This is true for Polanski, so is Woody Allen, so is Jean-Luc Godard!"

(Note: Chaplin’s love for teenage young girls is already an open secret, and Hollywood at that time was not comparable now; Polanski has not dared to go back since he escaped from the United States in the 1970s. Staying in France, almost arrested and extradited in Switzerland in 2009, his case was ranked among the top ten scandals of the 20th century entertainment circle; Woody? One of the scandals; as for Jean-Luc Godard, one of the characteristics of the French New Wave movement, one of Europe’s staunch anti-Semitic elements.)

His body leaned forward, and the feeling of oppression came upon him: "And you, smart Natalie? Portman, what can you get? Of course, you can choose to retreat, choose Leaving the entertainment world, leaving the United States, going to Israel, and going to Europe, after studying at the university, I would be a silent lecturer or professor. I might leave some books in a few decades, but I won’t let you go. I’ll leave You are nailed to the stigma of Hollywood, and you are remembered in another way, I will find you, I will ruin your friends, your family, yours—all!"

The room was quiet again, only Natalie's heavy and disordered breathing echoed. She looked at Adrian with a pale face and a dull face, completely lacking the usual dexterity.

"A week," so silent for a moment, Adrian's voice rang again, "You have a week to consider, starting today. Now, you can go out."

With a click, the study door closed, and Adrian, who was sitting on the edge of the desk, didn’t get up. He remained silently as before, expressionless. After a few seconds of this, he punched the desk with a punch, and made a loud bang, and his face became blue.

Adrian maintained this posture, like a sculpture, motionless, until Charlize’s voice spread into the ear with the door opening: "What happened, I just saw Natalie seem to be a little lost...Ed ?"

"First time." He slowly raised his head and squinted at his female secretary. "This is the first time."

"Huh?" Charlize puzzled.

"Out of control." Adrian uttered a word, but as a person who has been with him for several years, Charlize instantly understood what he meant.

"This is normal, Ed." Charlize organized words in his head, "After all..."

"This is not normal, which is very strange," Adrian shook his head. "It shouldn't have been like this. She wanted to leave, then leave. Well, I don't need such a woman by my side, yet I But the most violent reaction was made, and it seemed that reason did not exist at that moment!"

"Ed..."

"This is definitely not a good thing, such a thing will have a second time the first time."

"Ed..."

"I always feel wrong, I must have made something wrong or confused."

Adrian began to walk around the room. He frowned deeply, and seemed to be caught in a strange emotion that he couldn’t extricate himself. Charlize next to him couldn’t even plug his mouth.

"I need to study it carefully, I can't let it go..."

"Ed!" Charlize suddenly grabbed his collar and yanked it down, his gray eyes full of anxiety, "Listen to me, Ed! You are not God, you can’t control everything, no matter what you plan to do How good, no matter how sharp your insight is, but there will always be changes, there will always be accidents! In case of accidents, you should quickly adjust the plan and continue to move forward, rather than being confined to how accidents happen, this is what you taught me, Have you forgotten?"

After she said all the accumulated words in one breath, she realized that she was a little sick, and then she let her hand go over her head. Adrian stopped nagging and looked at her without blinking, with a strange look.

After adjusting his breathing, Charlize raised his head again, his voice lowered and softened a lot: "Don’t think about those, okay? No matter what conflict you have with that girl, now It’s not important anymore. You just have a little confusion in your thoughts. All you need is rest. You can do other things to divert your attention... If you want, no matter what you want... who to call, how many people to come with, No matter how you want to...how to play, what tricks to play, I can accompany you...don't think about those..."

She said, stroking his face with her hand, with firmness in her eyes and a tenderness that rarely appeared in full.

"...No," Adrian finally spoke again after a long time, he gently hugged Charlize's waist, "with you is enough."

------------------------

"Nata, let's eat." The mother's voice from the door made Natalie, who was in a trance, regained her spirit. She looked a bit blankly for the next four weeks before she realized that she was in her parents' position. Home on Long Island.

For a few more minutes, she remembered how she left her mansion in Adrian, how to spend an afternoon in the hotel room and how to get back on the plane.

"I'll be here soon, mother." She barely squeezed a smile, trying to make herself look normal.

"Are you really okay, Nata, I don't think you are in a good state." Xie Li nodded and said with some concern.

"It's okay, Mom, I'm just... a little tired, you know, in addition to the university courses, I have... a lot of activities to participate in." Natalie said with a gesture, and then stood up simply Going out with my mother's arm: "If you are worried, then I will go with you."

"Okay," Xie Li smiled and touched her head. "Don't make yourself so nervous, Natha, I know that, I should give you a firm push for these activities."

"It's okay, mom, the effects of this Star Wars prequel will soon be over, and I will be able to focus all my energy on my studies in the next time." Natalie kept her smile, and Mother came to the dining table together.

"You can completely give up your career as an actor and concentrate on completing your studies." Iv, who was sitting there waiting, said in a muffled voice.

"Afner!" Xie Li shouted in dissatisfaction, then patted her daughter comfortably, "Don't mind, dear, your father is not in a good mood today."

Nataly noticed that her father was frowning, and seemed to be troubled by something.

"Have something happened, mother?" she asked to divide Sarah's mother.

"Two people from the tax bureau came to your dad this afternoon and said what..." Xie Li was interrupted by Effner before she finished: "Xie Li!"

"What's the matter? Do I even have no freedom of speaking?" Xie Li dissatisfied put down the plate in her hand, "Listen to what the two high-handed guys said? Actually..."

"Enough is enough, Shelly, I don’t want to say this now!" Evna raised his voice, looked at his wife in annoyance, and then quickly glanced at her daughter.

Xie Li also reacted immediately, looked at Natalie, who bowed her head and dragged the food in front of her, and immediately changed her mouth: "Okay, okay, don't say this."

However, what they don’t know is that in Xie Li’s saying “there are two people from the tax bureau coming to your dad”, Natalie thundered in her ears, if she didn’t have some energy Then, the fork has fallen to the ground.

"I'm fine." After a quick bite, Natalie put down the dishes and stood up.

"Have you eaten?" Xie Li looked strangely at the large plate of food.

"Sorry, Mom, I have no appetite, probably because of the jet lag that flew around in Los Angeles and New York yesterday and today, just take a good rest." Natalie smiled reluctantly, and then Look at my father: "I promise not because of your words, dad."

She moved her lips as if to say something, but after all she turned around and hurriedly left the table.

Going back to the bedroom and closing the door to lock it, Natalie went crazy and found her phone, then went into the bathroom and started to dial her teeth.

"I am Ed." The voice of Adrian soon came over there.

"You bastard! What have you done! You said that I have a week, why the tax bureau will come to my father this afternoon! You dumb guy!" Natalie ignored Everything roared.

"What? Na Da? What's wrong?" He asked after hesitating over there, the tone was familiar and lazy.

Natalie froze, but the fear and anger that surged in her heart made her roar again.

"You said that two people from the tax bureau were looking for your father this afternoon?" I finally understood, "That's not my instruction. Since I said it will give you a week, I will definitely give you a week." Time, I think I still have this point of credit-today is just my first gossip. You can rest assured that I will call you tomorrow afternoon at the latest, even if someone asks you about the specific situation, so be it."

After he finished, he hung up the phone, leaving Natalie standing blankly in the bathroom.

This is a particularly difficult night. Although she continued to hypnotize herself, she couldn't sleep anyway, and the sun was shining into the room. She was lying on the bed with red eyes. As long as her eyes are closed, the threats of Adrian will become a reality, making her wake up in a panic.

Damn it! How could this be! Natalie shouted, covering her face. She had locked herself in the bedroom all morning and didn't want to do anything. Frustration, decadence, remorse and even despair wrapped her firmly.

It was so overwhelming and frightened that at 2pm, the phone that hadn’t been heard in the morning finally responded. Although the sudden ringtone surprised Natalie, she calmed down a little. , Gritted his teeth, chose to switch on.

"Nata? I have made it clear that this has nothing to do with your father," Adrian's steady voice rang in his ears, "The tax bureau will go to your father because of your father's A colleague once provided them with false documents, and they need to understand the situation in an all-round way. In addition, I let someone take care of your father through some relationships without worrying about being involved."

"You!" Natalie's eyes widened in exasperation, and she recovered some sense. Of course she knew what he meant.

"No need to thank, just a little busy, nothing else, then I will hang up, in addition, please allow me to remind you that you only have 6 days left." After the call was cut off, a little chance She will not be left.

Nataly stood blankly with her mobile phone, suddenly lifted it and smashed it to the ground, but after a long lift, she threw herself on the bed in frustration.

Fool! idiot! You idiot! How could Zhang Huang get lost! Even if you let someone contact you immediately after you leave, it is impossible for people in the tax bureau to come over so quickly, and finding the door directly is like tearing your face completely, why can't you think of it! why! She sat down slowly against the wall and hugged her head, tears finally slipping uncontrollably from her face. Why is this happening, the plan is clearly well, why did it become like this? !

Although she hasn't been able to understand him for so many years, ~IndoMTL.com~, she still has some personality characteristics. Adrian has a very strong desire to control and keen insight, coupled with surprising talent, he can always make women to embrace and let them act according to their own wishes. But he is also very conceited. If someone rejects him, he will not spend a little more effort on this person. As the power increases, this becomes more and more obvious.

She used this to design, and she was very sincere in lowering her posture. She pointed out that the main problem lies with him and then clears herself up-the same is true. There are already too many women around him. This excuse is simply fact.

In general, Adrian will definitely retain, as long as he insists, he will let go even if he is not happy. This is related to his reputation, and there is no need to care about this with a woman. What if he suppressed himself? That's better! Adrian is not one-sided in Hollywood. Although Lucas has a good relationship with him, it is impossible to change actors because of him. Natalie can completely pack herself into a tough girl who will not give in to the power. Naturally, many people will pursue it. I know she is Jewish.

It can be said that she has estimated his various reactions and set corresponding countermeasures, but she didn’t expect that his reactions would be so intense, not only directly deflated her intentions, but also Made such a threat. Damn it! Why is this happening? ! What went wrong! What now? !
