Chapter 523: Showdown and Trust Fund
In the office of the vice president of the CP Building, Ivana put her hands-free phone aside and said while checking the documents.
"It's Wendy, she threw a drinking party at home, in order to introduce friends to Dasha Zhukova and her boyfriend Roman Abramovich, let me be sure to convince you to participate, giggles, I originally wanted to go around and leave by myself, it seems that Wendy wants to show off her connections tonight. ”
Andy pursed his lips and chuckled: "She's backed by News Corp., it's not a simple matter to show off her connections, everyone will give Murdoch a little face, you know, I'm not interested in this kind of drinking party, it's nonsense." As he spoke, he glanced back in the direction of the bedroom and saw Scarlett sleeping on the bed through the crack in the door.
"I know, didn't you say you wanted to know a little bit about European football clubs, you can talk to Dasha's boyfriend Roman Abramovich, maybe it helps. Ivana suggested.
Andy heard Ivana say this, and with his understanding of her, he immediately understood that Ivana wanted to accompany her, and he would definitely be disappointed if he didn't go, in this case, he smiled and said, "Well, thank you dear, everything." ”
"Giggles, we're one. Ivana was smiling so much that Andy could imagine her vivid expression and signature smile.
"That's right, we're one!" Andy chatted with Ivana a few more times, and then went to pick her up after going home to change clothes, before hanging up.
"It's disgusting! You're still one, you've just been one with me... ”
Andy was taken aback, and looked back at Scarlett standing behind the sofa with a wry smile, looking at him with a somewhat lazy arms around her arms and a mocking look on the corners of her mouth.
"I really wonder if this young lady would go crazy if she knew that you still had so many women outside... Scarlett originally wanted to tease a few words, but seeing Andy's face change slightly, her eyes became indifferent, she couldn't help but hurriedly stop, she also knew that her mouth was a little poisonous.
Andy got up from the couch, walked up to Scarlett, stretched out his hand to hold her chin, with a faint smile on his face, "This joke is not funny at all, dear, I like you very much, and I want you to be with me all the time, I also said earlier, except for marriage that can't be given to you, I can satisfy you to the greatest extent, if you think it's unfair to you, you can treat this time as the last time, we are still friends, I will try my best to help you, but, don't try to hurt other people." ”
"Smack!"
"You're a bastard!" Scarlett slapped Andy's hand holding her chin, her eyes filled with shame and unwillingness, a mist rose in her eyes, and she bit her lip and roared in hatred.
Andy stretched out his hand to hold her fair face, kissed it lightly and said: "Look, you can't bear me, I can't bear you, why bother making trouble with each other every time, just like I can't allow someone to hurt you, you and I are not at the stage when I was together in search of excitement at the beginning, you and I both know that the emotional bond between us is increasing day by day, which is the main reason why you are not angry and unwilling, but, Scarlett, some things cannot be changed, I will marry Ivana." ”
"You-"
Scarlett pushed Andy away violently, the expression on her face was extremely sad and angry, the tears in her eyes slipped down, she stretched out her hand to point at Andy, the bright red chun trembled, and finally didn't say the words that had always worried Andy, turned around and walked back to the bedroom.
The door was slammed shut, and a somewhat hysterical voice came from the bedroom.
“Get the fxxk off!”
Andy smiled, pursed his lips, and shrugged his shoulders, Scarlett finally chose to compromise, although she was very sad and angry, but she still didn't tear her face in the end, and she was cut in two.
Anger is inevitable, not being angry is what Andy has to deal with carefully, no way, Scarlett is a very unreliable woman, he can't guess what kind of moth she will do, so, in order to avoid things from developing to the point of being out of control, he has to have a direct showdown, so that Scarlett dies, even if he becomes a passerby from now on, he can't accept that Scarlett does anything excessive to hurt Ivana.
Scarlett's words really poked at his sore spot, if Ivana knew that these women were outside, maybe Ivana would really suffer some irreparable damage.
Uncontrollable women, even if they are as beautiful as a fairy, Andy will not be more nostalgic, no matter whether Scarlett's words are a joke or a temptation, Andy can no longer give her the wrong signal ambiguously and make her hopeful.
Andy bent down from the carpet in the living room, put on the clothes one by one, walked to the bedroom door, opened the door and walked in, saw Scarlett lying on the bed, crying very sadly, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, walked to her, sat down, patted her back, and soothed: "Marriage is just a part of our emotional bond, in addition to it, we have many, such as good memories, infinite possibilities of the future, or our children... ”
Hearing the word child, the crying stopped abruptly, Scarlett sat up suddenly, stared at Andy with red eyes, and said in a slightly hoarse voice with a little choked up: "My child also has the right to inherit!"
The corners of Andy's mouth twitched a few times, his forehead was bruised, he stretched out his hand to cover his face with an extremely bitter expression, and sighed with a wry smile: "I'm only 23 years old! ”
Scarlett sat up, kept Andy behind her back with her hands, put her pretty face on his back and said, "I am willing to have a child with you, but I must give my child a guarantee!"
Andy shook his head again and smiled bitterly, patted Scarlett's little hand and said: "I will set up a secret trust fund, starting from the birth of the child, and deposit five million into the fund every year, until the child becomes an adult, I will increase the amount of the fund to 100 million US dollars, and before the child is a minor, you will exercise the right to control the fund, so you should rest assured, right?"
Po –
Andy helplessly looked at Scarlett, who was smiling, and then kissed himself on the face, he had already thought about this problem, the women around him didn't want to leave after knowing that they couldn't marry him, maybe there were emotional factors, but more would still consider the future security, especially the protection of the children.
This is human nature, even if Scarlett, actress, Lima and others can make a lot of money, but they also need Andy to make commitments and actions to protect the future of their children, which is understandable, this is also a very wise and rational choice.
Andy's method of this trust fund has also consulted think tanks, and the advantage of this is that not only the child's future is guaranteed, but also a constraint and control over the child's mother, once the child's mother chooses to leave, not only the custody of the child, but also the benefit and control of the fund will be automatically lifted.
Andy is not a stingy person, but he is also not an open-minded person, and he will never let himself be burdened with both people and money.
Speaking of this, I have to say that the prenuptial agreement of the stars, the agreement of the big-mouthed Roberts stipulates that if you have a child and divorce your husband, the husband will get a breakup fee of nearly $7 million, on the contrary, the breakup fee for divorce without having children is $900,000.
Hip-hop tycoon JAY-Z signed a prenuptial agreement with his wife Beyoncé: if she divorces within two years, Beyoncé can get $10 million, if she divorces, JAY-Z promises to spend $10 million to help Beyoncé buy a house, if the marriage is maintained, Beyoncé can receive $1 million a year for up to 15 years, and JAY-Z will pay Beyoncé $5 million for each child.
Britney's prenuptial agreement is unprecedentedly large, 60 pages long, and she has already stated in the prenuptial agreement that she will not give Kevin a penny of her $65 million fortune. The 60-page agreement protects most of the family property that Britney earned before she got married.
And Wendy Murdoch's prenuptial agreement is even more harsh, not only does she have no share in News Corporation's shares, but even her children have no share, only a trust fund worth $8.7 million, of course, in the end, the old man Murdoch still gave Wendy a courtyard house worth 200 million and a luxury apartment in Manhattan.
Therefore, Andy's heart is not ungenerous, this is also the key point of Scarlett's joy, to make money, the widow's ability to circle money is not low, tens of millions of dollars a year is easy, not that she sees money, but after losing the possibility of marriage, she doesn't want to leave, so once she has a child, the future security of the child is an extremely realistic problem.
Of course, Scarlett knows very well that the trust fund is only a child's protection, and Andy will not spend less on other weekdays, just like a yacht worth millions, he doesn't just give it away.
Andy finally escaped from the entangled Scarlett, wiped his sweaty forehead, shook his head with a wry smile, and sat in the car thinking: "Tsk, it seems that in the future, we must pay attention to having a few fewer illegitimate children, otherwise the trust fund alone will divide the money... ”
