Elizabeth helped Emma take a shower and cooked some cereal porridge for the little guy who was still clamoring for food, and found that Eric and Julia still hadn't come downstairs.

Emma was lying on the side of the coffee table in the living room with a spoon and eating, and when she saw Elizabeth looking at the staircase from time to time, the little one quickly thought of Eric, and raised her little face tenderly and asked, "Mom, where's Dad?"

Elizabeth heard Emma's name, looked at the staircase again in a panic, and found that no one came out, so she breathed a sigh of relief, got up and left the sofa and knelt on the carpet next to the coffee table with Emma, Elizabeth touched the little guy's head, and said softly: "Emma, shall we make a game?"

Emma had already eaten and drunk enough, and when she heard the game, her eyes immediately became shining, and she put down the spoon and said, "Okay." ”

"This game is like this, from now on when we talk, you call me Liz, I call you Emma, let's see who lasts longer, okay?"

Emma tilted her head and hesitated before shaking her head: "It's not fun." ”

Elizabeth's tone was a little anxious, and she said, "Emma, if you don't want to do this game, then I won't take you to Disneyland again, and I won't take you to Coldwater Canyon Park anymore." ”

Emma's eyes blinked quickly a few times and blurted out, "Auntie, take me there." ”

Elizabeth casually glanced at the empty bowl in front of the little one, and tried to say, "If my aunt doesn't give you anything to eat in the future, I won't cook cereal porridge for you." ”

This threat is a bit big, Emma immediately showed a worried look, and quickly said, "Okay. Make games. ”

Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief. Said: "That." Let's try first, what should you call me now?"

"Liz," Emma shouted, picking up the bowl in front of her, "and more." ”

The little guy had just eaten some chocolate cake and drank a bowl of cereal, and Elizabeth knew that she couldn't let the little guy eat more, so she said softly: "Is it okay to eat so much today, and we will eat it again tomorrow morning?"

"Speak. Not count," Emma heard Elizabeth's refusal, her expression immediately became aggrieved, the child's intuition seemed to be very weird by nature, and she complained with tears in her eyes, and the little guy blurted out again without a teacher, and deliberately raised her voice: "Mom!"

Elizabeth's head almost hit the glass coffee table, patted her forehead and sighed silently in her heart, and had to take the small bowl in the little guy's hand: "Na, I can only eat half a bowl more." I can't do more. ”

"Hmm," Emma nodded vigorously at once. Looking at Elizabeth's expression, the little one felt as if he had to do something, his beautiful blue eyes rolled, and he called out again in a tender little voice, "Liz." ”

Elizabeth, who had just gotten up, heard the little guy flexibly switch between the two titles, and couldn't help but have a thought in her heart: Is this a cocoon?

……

After waking up Julia, Eric quickly figured out what had happened, and of course the so-called 'child abuse tragedy' did not happen. Julia had dinner with a few friends in the evening, drank some wine, and was slightly drunk, so, when she got home, on a whim, or motherhood, she suddenly wanted to take care of the little one herself, and sent the nanny to rest, and played with Emma for a while, feeling that the little one was a little sleepy, so she put Emma to sleep, and then went to rest on her own.

In this process, Julia and the nanny both ignored a question, the little one hadn't eaten dinner yet, Julia didn't ask, and the nanny didn't say, both of them thought that the other party would prepare food for the little one, and the little one didn't cry out hungry until he fell asleep, so there was the scene that Eric and Elizabeth saw when they just entered the door, Emma slept until midnight and was woken up by hunger, so she ran out of the baby's room to find food.

Since Emma was adopted by Julia, Eric has often seen the little guy, two years ago when the Los Angeles riots, Emma and Julia lived together in the Sharp Corner Manor for a period of time, for the little girl who has grown up from a little bit to the present, Eric is still very close to the bottom of his heart, which is why he has not corrected the little guy to call himself dad, although he has a different interest in the customs of the Western godfather, but Eric has also treated the little guy as a goddaughter.

Therefore, although he understood that Julia did not mean it, Eric was still angry at this woman's carelessness, and when he saw the movie made by Julia last year some time ago, the fire in Eric's heart went up even more. Last year, Eric had planned to let Julia star in another romantic comedy to restore her popularity that had slipped by taking care of Emma. But this woman took another film contract on her own. Okay, just take it, anyway, he didn't think about forcing his woman to only make movies for fireflies. Unexpectedly, Eric accidentally found out what kind of mess it was filming, two reporters rushed to Las Vegas to investigate the criminal evidence of a casino tycoon, and then there was no then, Julia, who played the female reporter, didn't get out of the hotel room much during the whole movie, and the plot was even more incomprehensible, and the whole movie was like a schoolboy who spent ten minutes to get out of homework in order to cope with the teacher's inspection. When this movie came out, the critics scolded it, and the little remaining popularity accumulated with movies such as "Pretty Woman" and "Steel Magnolia" completely dissipated.

Self-depravity, self-destruction of the future!

Lazy woman, don't seek to be motivated, how can this work!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so Eric cleaned up Julia until he found that the woman looked like she was enjoying the punishment despite the words begging for mercy.

……

Feeding the little guy on the couch and watching cartoons, Elizabeth looked at the stairs again, I don't know how many times. I feel a little sour in my heart, I haven't come down for so long, and the two of them must be ridiculous, but they let themselves watch the children here, it's really, so hateful.

Definitely don't take the initiative to deliver it to your door this time, absolutely not.

Thinking so in her heart, Elizabeth finally heard the footsteps on the other side of the stairs, and quickly put away her expression and made a cold look.

Eric and Julia walked downstairs one after the other, and Elizabeth acted as if she was ignoring Eric. Glaring at Julia, who was still flushed behind Eric.

Hum. Dogs for men and women.

Eric sat down on the couch. Julia walked towards the coffee machine in the corner of the living room.

Elizabeth saw Julia behaving so actively, and she felt a wave of hatred in her heart, and was about to release it at Eric through her eyes, but her gaze couldn't help but fall on Eric's waist, and the Hermes belt she gave to Eric as a Christmas gift was missing.

"Oh, it's upstairs," Eric explained briskly.

"Hmph," Elizabeth squeezed out a syllable through her nose. As if to say I don't care.

Julia quickly brewed coffee, poured a cup for Eric, and handed it over with ice cubes, Eric picked up the cup and blew it, took a sip, and stretched out his finger to point to the sofa next to him: "Sit down, there are some things to discuss with you." ”

Julia nodded lightly and leaned over to the single couch, but only as soon as she touched the surface of the couch did the girl stand up softly.

Elizabeth saw Julia stretch out her hand to cover her pitiful look behind her. Turning to Eric, he said hatefully, "Violent maniac." ”

But. The girl's tone didn't look like she was complaining at all, but more like a grudge, as if she was accusing Eric of not having 'violence evenly'.

When Eric heard Elizabeth say this, he glanced at her with interest, and Elizabeth immediately avoided Eric's eyes weakly, and she also realized that her tone was not fierce enough, but more like ...... Uh, how is it possible, I'm not a masochist, absolutely, yes, no, yes!

In order to prove that she was not guilty, Elizabeth thought about it and quickly turned her head, only to find that Eric had turned to Julia, who was sitting crookedly on the sofa.

"How much money do you have now?" asked Eric, looking at Julia.

Julia shook her head, hesitated, and then said, "Probably, maybe 30 million." ”

Eric was a little helpless, this woman didn't even know how much money she had: "Contact your accountant tomorrow to count it, leave 100,000 US dollars for living expenses, and give me the rest." ”

"Julia, don't give it to him, he's a robbery. Elizabeth was immediately dissatisfied.

As if she hadn't heard Elizabeth's words, Julia nodded obediently, "Well, I see." ”

Eric didn't pay attention to Elizabeth either, and continued: "When Firefly completes the merger and acquisition of the TV network, I will exchange your money for Firefly shares, however, these shares and the subsequent dividends will be kept by me for you, and when you get the Oscar, the disposal of this equity will be transferred to you." ”

Elizabeth, who was about to say something more, stopped in surprise when she heard Eric's words, and looked at Julia with a faint look of envy in her eyes. After Firefly Pictures announced its annual financial report, I don't know how many investment institutions want to invest in Firefly, and are even willing to offer several times the premium for this, but Eric resolutely refused, even this merger and acquisition of TV Network, Eric did not plan to share too much equity, but this time he took the initiative to exchange the cash in Julia's hands for Firefly shares, although this money is insignificant for Firefly after the merger in the future, it is enough to show that Eric has completely treated Julia as his own woman。

Although Julia got a certain syndrome by mistake, there was no problem with her IQ, and she also realized Eric's purpose for doing this, if it was any other time, Julia might have suffered a little for Eric to completely tie her to her body, but she was just cleaned up by Eric, and now Julia has no resistance at all, but her mind is full of obedience and dependence, at this time, it is estimated that Eric ordered her to jump off a nearby cliff, and Julia will not hesitate for too long.

Eric watched Julia not only not bargain with him, but obediently agreed, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, but since the facts could not be changed, it was the best choice to let it develop in a better direction.

Lowering his head and taking a few sips of coffee, Eric glanced at Elizabeth and Julia beside him, as well as the little guy who was concentrating on watching cartoons, and said: "Liz will definitely be very busy after serving as the vice president of Fox, and you can't always be idle, this time I will personally arrange your next film, don't be lazy anymore." So it's not appropriate for Emma to stay here, and this kind of environment in Hollywood is not good for Emma's growth, I plan to send Emma to New York with the two little guys, and let Joan take her, are you okay?"

Although there were no accidents tonight, the two girls knew that Eric's advice was necessary, and they couldn't wait for something to happen before they regretted it.

Seeing Julia nodding, Elizabeth asked with some concern, "What about Julia's brothers and sisters, and will Joan accept Emma?"

"Since custody is on Julia's side, there is no reason for them to interfere. Eric said: "Moreover, Joan likes children very much, Vicky has been taking care of Kevin when she goes out filming, and adding an Emma is nothing, since you agreed, I will call Joan tomorrow to discuss this matter, the little one is already three years old, and it is time to go to kindergarten." ”

It was almost early in the morning after discussing these things, Julia walked to the baby room with the sleepy Emma in her arms, Eric continued to finish the coffee in the cup, looked at Elizabeth, who seemed to be a little absent-minded sitting next to her, once again showed a faint evil smile, got up and said, "Let's go, show you some good things." ”

"What's good?" Elizabeth subconsciously stood up.

"The belt you gave me, I suddenly found that it is quite useful, let's study it again, you can be my assistant. ”

Elizabeth was stunned for half a second before she reacted, feeling Eric holding her hand and walking towards the stairs, her body trembled slightly for some reason, and her steps weakly followed Eric upstairs, but her mouth kept resisting: "I, I, I don't want to, you, you let go." ”

……

The February morning in Los Angeles was still a bit cold, but Eric enjoyed the feeling of sitting in the courtyard of the mansion at the top of Beverly Mountain, whether it was the city of Los Angeles in the south or the valley in the north, shrouded in a light mist, but Eric could feel the faint warmth of the rising sun.

In the courtyard of Elizabeth and Julia's hilltop mansion, Eric sat at a round table with an IBM laptop next to today's Los Angeles Times.

Although it was just eight o'clock in Los Angeles and eleven o'clock in New York in the east, Eric had just spoken to Katzenberg on the phone about the progress of his negotiations with the ABC in the morning.

Moreover, there were some problems in the negotiations in New York this morning. (To be continued.) )
