Chapter 443: Joker

Victor's image as a clown has become a joke in the overwhelming news reports, and even his industry and his stock have fallen off a cliff.

If he hadn't met Layla, but the same Aiden, there was no doubt that he would have wanted to get the coffee shop. It's a pity that there is no if in this world, what he met was Leila, who didn't take it upon himself to threaten a richer person with his hundreds of millions of net worth.

So, he became a clown, a joke, and this is not the end of it, there are more things that await him that make him want to cry without tears.

Think about it, what will the Moran family behave when they find out about this? It is definitely impossible to be indifferent, as long as the various media under his control help Victor make a full exposure, it is enough to send him to the eighteenth layer of hell. And this is not the first time Aiden has done this, there have been some similar acquisitions before, but not in Hollywood.

The media of the Moran Group dug him up from scratch along the line, digging up all the dirty things he had done before, and even the story of him snatching a piece of chocolate from a classmate when he was in elementary school was reported on it.

Laila was also amused when she saw those reports, and believed that she was not a ladylike laugh at all at this time and was photographed by the paparazzi, and she would definitely sell it for a big price.

Maybe it was a relationship she secretly downplayed, or maybe Victor's affair was too happy for the public, or maybe it had something to do with the director's secret arrangement, in short, within a few days, few people remembered the disgraceful role played by the police in this matter.

Although he was not entangled outside, the policeman was still sent out by the chief, and he probably won't appear in a prosperous place like Hollywood for the rest of his life.

Christmas is here, and Layla gets on a plane to New York to go home for the holidays, along with Roy and Abel.

Originally, Roy was reluctant to go, he felt that he had already taken away Ovitz's AMG, and then followed to Leila's house to look too thick-skinned.

And Laila may be relatively sluggish in her feelings, and the other parts still have some eyes for words, and seeing his reluctant to say something, she knows what he is struggling with. At this time, she would definitely not tell her plans for next year in order to coax him, so she came up with another reason that he couldn't refuse.

"Don't forget that you're going to the East with me to participate in the show, our time is running out, do you want to perform on stage without even practicing? Don't forget that it's a show watched by hundreds of millions of people, and you don't want to lose face on it, right?"

As soon as Roy heard this, he said no more.

According to the process of the Spring Festival Gala, if they were local artists, they would have rehearsed many times on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala at this time. But for the sake of Leila's face, it was only necessary for them to come over a day or two early to get used to the stage.

People give face like this, and they can't be "pampered and arrogant", so they set a time to arrive there one to two weeks before the Spring Festival Gala. On the one hand, she was going to get used to the stage, and on the other hand, Leila also wanted to see how the theater was being built over there.

Roy had spent some time before that practicing the piece he was singing, trying to make sure that nothing went wrong when the time came. The song prepared by Leila is a chorus, and the two people need to have a cooperation on stage, and if the cooperation is not good, there will still be some trouble.

After Christmas, there are not many days left in January, so it can be said that there is not much time for them to rehearse, and the only way to practice better is to use Leila's time in New York.

So after struggling for a while, Roy finally agreed.

The servants at home also took a holiday, and Abel naturally followed them on the plane.

Abel was a smart kid who was able to live well in complex relationships even after his previous life in foster care. Later, Leila sent him to the best school, and he never felt inferior because his identity was not worthy of the people around him, but conquered his teachers and classmates with his grades and lived with his head held high.

He cherishes his brother very much, cherishes the family affection between them, and even cherishes Leila, the girl who is liked by his brother. Originally, everything was fine, and many times seeing his brother's eyes chasing his figure would make him feel warm and happy. But he didn't know what was going on, so that there seemed to be an extra layer of transparent barrier between the two, and they were no longer as harmonious as before.

He had heard from a friend before that a failed confession might make the original good relationship stiff, so many people didn't dare to say their feelings directly, for fear that they wouldn't even have to be friends after failure. So he guessed that it should be his brother's confession that scared the other party.

Later, his brother and Leila's company terminated the contract and jumped to another company, and he thought that they might have fallen out completely. As a result, the next development made him almost scratch his hair, and he didn't figure it out. The two still live under the same roof, and when they meet, they talk as usual, and even Leila's attitude towards her brother has not changed. It seems that the termination of the contract is nothing to her at all, and it seems that her brother has not changed jobs.

What the hell is going on? The junior school bully felt that his brain was completely insufficient when it came to analyzing them.

Let's take it as an example, the two of them sat next to each other, one reading a book, the other staring out the window in a daze, how to look like they didn't get along with each other.

"Leila, what are you looking at?" he tried to break the invisible barrier between the two.

Leila flipped the cover of the book over and showed him, "Walking Wall Street, interested?"

Abel glanced at his brother who was eavesdropping on their words, and sighed in his heart, why didn't this stupid brother know to take the opportunity to interject?

"What is this book about?" he asked, trying to give his brother a look, but Roy only pricked up his ears and kept his eyes fixed on the window, making Abel so angry that he wanted to snatch the book and smash it on his head to see if he could smash him out of the way.

Leila didn't see him, looked at the book and said, "It's said to be the best stock investment book from the 70s to the present." It was published by Burton Malkiel in '73. ”

Abel was curious: "Teach people to invest in stocks?"

"Yes. Probably ......" Leila's voice was a little unconfident.

"Why probably?"

Leila touched her nose embarrassedly, "Because I can't understand what it's talking about." ”

"......" Roy's shoulders shook suspiciously twice, but he still stared out the window and didn't turn his head.

Her answer was much to Abel's surprise, seeing that she had been reading the book since she was in the car, and thought she liked it very much, but it turned out to be ...... Can't read it?
