Chapter 047: I Wore That Shirt Too
Eric said in a resolute tone, "Annie, I won't break up with you. Can you tell me your address in New York, and I'm going to see you at Christmas?"
"Don't think about it," Aniston refused with a stiff face, and at the same time couldn't help but wonder if you couldn't find it yourself, even Drew Barrymore guy could find it, "You're not ...... Isn't there a new girlfriend, that ...... Big-mouthed girl?"
"You mean Julia, she has a lot of potential, I'm going to open a brokerage and I want to sign her. ”
Aniston glanced disapprovingly at the gossip tabloids that were still spread out on the table not far away: "Do all the actresses of your agency have to sleep with you......?" I'll go through it too, you bastard!"
After a few seconds of hesitation, Eric said softly, "I'm sorry, Annie, forgive me, okay? ”
Listening to the rare weakness in Eric's tone, Aniston's voice softened: "Eric, I think we are too far apart. The more time I get along, the more I realize that you are a wandering person, and I don't want to experience that insecurity all the time. ”
"Annie, I just bought a villa, right up Beverly Hills......"
"But you don't have a home in your heart, Eric, maybe it's my delusion, I feel like you're a passerby, and you suddenly broke into the world. When I'm with you, I sometimes can't help but worry about whether you're going to disappear all of a sudden. ”
The two men were at the same time apparently silent for a moment.
"Eric, I called you today just to tell you that in the morning I received an anonymous letter saying that I wanted to ask me to talk about you. I saw that the address above was in a public place in Central Park, and there was no danger, so I was curious to go to the appointment. The stranger asked me about you and me, and then he asked me...... When asked me about that morning, I didn't say, but the guy probably saw something, and then tested me if I was willing to go to court if I could, testify that you had a relationship with Drew, and said that if the matter was successful, he could give me a sum of money, which I refused. ”
Eric listened quietly to Aniston's narration, his lips pursed tightly, and when Aniston finished speaking, Eric wrote a little lightly: "Annie, thank you for telling me this." You still love me, don't you?"
"You ......" Annice's heart beat a few times, and her voice rose a lot, "Why are you still in the mood to dwell on this, don't you understand, Eric, someone wants to send you to prison." I specifically looked into the case of Roman Polanski, and there was conclusive evidence that he had sex with that girl, but there were also people who wanted to target him and sentence him to life in prison, so he had to flee the United States. ”
"Annie, I know, don't worry, I'll take care of this. ”
Hanging up the phone, Eric sat quietly on the sofa and pondered for a long time, although squeezing the box office of many film companies, this is a normal business behavior after all, although many people will hate themselves, but the most drastic means are only the same as a few days ago, through guò media smear to achieve the effect of suppressing the box office of their own movies.
Moreover, Fox made a fierce counterattack, and after the other party found that it was impossible to do anything, they quickly died down.
There is only one person who can hate himself to the point of wanting to send himself to prison, and Eric thinks about it, Blunt Cohen. Because of the gambling agreement turmoil, Bront Cohen was forced to apologize to himself in public, for a person who has been in a high position for a long time, it must be a shame to submit to a hairy boy who is about the same age as his grandson, and this person is really not very broad-minded, so he is the most suspicious.
However, it's not that there are no other possibilities, everyone knows that the human heart is the most unpredictable thing in the world, and even during this time, some people don't like Eric, and they just have the strength to do this, so it's not impossible to disgust him.
Although not too worried, Eric called Edward Lewis, and after more than half an hour, the private lawyer arrived at Eric's house.
Eric told Aniston about himself, and the two discussed it for a long time, and Edward Lewis asked a lot of details as he took notes himself.
More than two hours later, Edward Lewis closed the notepad and asked with a solemn expression, "Eric, I want to make sure one last time, can you guarantee that you did not have a relationship with Miss Drew Barrymore that day? If...... If you don't tell the truth, we will probably be caught off guard by the opponent. ”
Eric thought carefully about the situation at the time, and affirmed: "Absolutely not, although we were in the same bed that day, the sheets were very clean, and there was no trace of sex afterwards, and Drew admitted afterwards that we didn't have that kind of relationship." ”
"Then I don't have any other problems, Eric, don't worry, I will prepare a response plan as soon as I go back, you don't have to worry about this matter at all, although the public opinion is still a little unfavorable to you now, but if the facts do not exist, even if someone wants to falsely accuse you, there is no possibility of success. ”
Eric finally relented and sent Edward Lewis away, suddenly remembering that when the turmoil first broke out a few days ago, Drew could no longer come to his house, but he called from time to time to get tired of a few crooked calls. In the past two days, there has been no news all of a sudden.
After calling Drew's house several times in a row, but no one answered, Eric had a bad feeling in his heart. He wasn't worried that Drew would join forces with those people to frame him, but it was hard to say about Drew's greedy and not-so-smart mother.
On the second floor of an apartment in Culver City, Los Angeles, Drew, who was locked in his room and was bored watching TV, listened to the continuous ringing of the phone in the living room, and was a little irritable.
In the past few days, Addiko Gide, who has never cared much about her, seems to have suddenly discovered her conscience and become a responsible and good mother, using the media turmoil as an excuse to confine Drew in his room and not go out, and not even let her call.
Of course, Drew disagreed, and after an argument, the mother and daughter almost got into a fight, and in the end, Drew, who had small arms and legs, still couldn't beat Eddico Gide and was locked in the room.
Moreover, Drew also sensed that someone was planning something with his mother, she overheard her mother in the living room whispering on the phone to the person on the other end of the phone for a long time late last night, and in the past, Adicon never turned his back on the phone, and even flirted with some men on the phone.
"No, something must have happened......
Drew turned off the TV, muttered to himself for a while, and walked around the room a few times with some uneasiness, looking at the time, and his mother estimated that he would be back soon. Drew felt that he could not wait, thought about it, found a few sheets from the closet and tied them together, made a rope three or four meters long, tied it to the leg of the bed, tried the strength, opened the window, and carefully climbed down the rope.
When he was about to land, the knot suddenly broke off, and Drew fell to the ground from a height of one meter, groaning in pain, ignoring the bruises on his knees, Drew limped out of the yard, called a taxi, and headed for Eric's house.
