It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and in an ordinary apartment in Burbank, Britney was sitting on the sofa and still talking about the afternoon's experience in Brabra.

“…… Miss Connelly also let us take a helicopter, and the shell villa was so beautiful from the air, and the glass curtain wall of the villa overlooked the whole sea, and in the evening the whole sea was sparkling, and the scenery was even more spectacular than in the landscape paintings, hey, I would be able to afford such a estate when I grew up. ”

"Don't be delusional, I heard that the estate cost more than $50 million when it was built a few years ago, and because it is too famous, now Eric. Even if Williams bids for 100 million, someone will definitely buy it, and you won't be able to make that much money in your lifetime," Britney's brother, Brian, who is already in high school. Spears spoke.

"100 million, that's still it," Britney stuck out her tongue, she is now signed with Disney Kids Channel, and her monthly salary is only $8,000, 100 million is simply astronomical for her.

Jamie sitting on the couch pretending to watch TV. Spears has actually been listening to his daughter's account of today's experience, and he has been thinking about the Rolls-Royce limousine that just sent Britney back, fantasizing about whether he will be able to own one one day, and when he hears the figure of $100 million in his son's mouth, he can't help but secretly smack his tongue.

But in her arms is holding Lynn, who is not yet a year old and her little daughter is breastfeeding. Spears smiled and said, "Who said it was impossible, if our family Boo could become like Michael. A big star like Jackson can definitely make $100 million. ”

Michael. Jackson is now the idol of the younger generation of Americans, 16-year-old Brian Brown. Spears is no exception. I heard my mother say that. Retorted: "Michael is a genius. How could Boob compare to him," Brian finished speaking, seeing his sister's angry expression at him, and immediately said, "But, of course, if Boob wants to live in Sharp Corner Manor, it's actually very easy, as long as he becomes Eric. Williams' girlfriend on the line. ”

"Brian, don't talk nonsense. How old is your sister," Lynn . Spears glared at his son and said.

Brian. Spears smiled and groaned, "I heard that Eric. Williams likes little Lori very much, and you haven't seen the news from two years ago. ”

"You are talking nonsense, they deliberately smeared Eric," Britney also remembered the turmoil two years ago, she still had a very good impression of Eric, and when she heard her brother say this, she immediately retorted.

"I don't have any nonsense, if he doesn't like you, why would he invite you to Sharp Corner Manor. Boob. Eric. Williams is a rich man, if you become his girlfriend. Our family was able to at least move into Beverly Hills without having to cram into this small apartment. ”

Britney was a little speechless, but thinking of the possibility that her brother said, her face suddenly became rosy, and Xiao Nizi, who was in love for the first time, still had a very good impression of Eric.

"Shut up, Brian, you won't be allowed to watch TV if you talk nonsense, go back to your room and do your homework," Lynne said. Spears was a little unaccustomed to his son's somewhat obvious tone of selling his sister for glory, and raised his voice to reprimand. The Spears family is just an ordinary family who has just moved to Los Angeles from a small place, and they have not been washed away by too many entanglements of interests. Spears also did not evolve into a strange mother who later made money by writing books and selling her daughter's privacy.

It's Jamie, who has been silent. Spears heard his son's words, and there was an unconscious stir in his heart.

Early the next morning, after the Spears family had breakfast, Jamie. Spears was going to send Britney to record the show as usual, and while her daughter was back in the room to change clothes, Lynne . Spears said to her husband, "Jamie, you should go get a job, we can't live on Boo's salary all the time." ”

Jamie. Spears immediately gave a look of impatience, apparently this was not the first time he had heard such words.

Jamie. Spears was originally a construction worker in a small city in Louisiana, and if he was a good local in Louisiana, he was basically completely useless when he came to Greater Los Angeles. Spears wasn't a hard worker, and he disdained to do the same shoddy work as the smuggled Mexicans.

"Wait, wait and save some money, I'm going to start a construction company," Jamie said. Spears lost his words, and hurried out of the house to the garage to pick up the car.

Lynn. Spears looked at her husband's perfunctory back and sighed helplessly. Seeing his daughter come out of the room, he stepped forward to tidy up Britney's clothes and sent her to the car before returning to the house to do housework.

Sending Britney to the set of Disney, Jamie. Spears drove around and down to a bar expertly.

"Hey, Jamie, is it still the same?" Some of the older bosses behind the bar greeted them warmly.

"Of course," Jamie. Spears replied, sat down at the bar, and greeted the few regular customers around.

The boss quickly handed over a glass of beer, along with a plate of peanuts.

The hanging TV in the bar is broadcasting the news, and as one of the most talked about recent news, the topic of Fireflies buying Disney is still frequently on the small screen.

Listening to the introduction of Fireflies buying Disney on the TV, Jamie. A middle-aged fat man on Spears' left hand shook his head and sighed: "Five billion, it's really hard to imagine that a hairy boy in his early twenties can have five billion, what a lot of money it must be." ”

Another person immediately laughed and joked: "Of course, you lazy person who cheated on unemployment supplies can't imagine how much money five billion is, sue you, even if you spend it at a rate of $500,000 a day, it will be enough for you to spend it for thirty years." ”

Laughter immediately rang out all around, and although it was not a serious person who went to the bar without working in the morning, the middle-aged fat man was obviously ridiculed by everyone.

The fat man smiled and looked at Jamie. Spears asked, "Jamie, I heard your daughter is on a Disney show." I don't know if I'll be able to meet Eric. Williams. If it can be Eric. Williams was selected to act in the movie. Your family is already prosperous. ”

"Yes, yes, I saw the little actor who played "Home Alone" in the newspaper some time ago, and that family is doing well now, but it is in the limelight."

Because of the vanity of the heart, Jamie. Spears said proudly, "Sue you, my daughter only arrived at Eric last night. Williams' manor. ”

"Really?"

"It can't be a lie."

"Jamie, stop talking nonsense, Eric. How could Williams have invited your little girl to be a guest? ”

“……”

Jamie. Spears listened to the voices of doubt around him. In addition, after pouring more than half a glass of beer, some blushing faces said loudly: "What is there to lie about, my girl was sent back by Rolls-Royce last night." ”

Look at Jamie. Spears didn't look like he was lying, and a few curious drinkers gathered around him, asking what was going on. Spears' vanity was greatly satisfied, and after relaying what Britney had seen and heard at Sharp Corner Manor, he began to talk nonsense out of bounds, and attributed the reason Eric invited a group of teenagers to be guests to his own daughter.

"Hey, Jamie. How old is your girl, Eric. How could Williams possibly look good? ”

"That's it. Such a big little girl, no breasts and no ass, haha. ”

"Maybe the rich don't have any quirks, Eric. Williams is not very old, so what's strange about liking little girls. ”

A bunch of people were talking nonsense, and gradually the words became more and more vulgar, and the words became more and more unscrupulous, and a tired young man in his twenties in the corner of the bar was originally a little disgusted by the loud voices of this group of reckless men, but when he heard Eric's name, he immediately lifted his spirits.

The young man's name is Cole. Anderson, a paparazzi for the New York Post, is the founder of Cole. In order to secretly film the scandal of a little star, Anderson squatted outside an apartment in Burbank all night last night, but found nothing, passing by this small bar with the intention of having a drink, and then going back to the hotel to sleep, but unexpectedly heard a very 'material' news.

Jamie. Spears chatted with everyone for an hour or two, drank a few beers, and then checked out with a slightly drunk look to leave. Anderson stopped.

"Hello, Jamie. Mr. Spears, my name is Cole. Anderson, a reporter for the New York Post, can I delay you for a moment? ”

Jamie. Spears asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

"That's right, I just heard that your daughter went to Eric last night. Williams was a guest at home, and I wondered if I could do an interview about it. ”

Jamie. Although Spears drank a little too much, he was not drunk, his brain was still quite clear, and when he heard that the other party was going to interview him, his brain quickly made a few turns, and he stretched out two fingers and said, "Two thousand." ”

Cole. Anderson was stunned, and a smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth, although the greedy guy in front of him was a little lion open-mouthed, but it was very much in line with the paparazzi's taste.

"Mr. Spears, two thousand dollars is impossible, and I can't get two thousand dollars for writing a feature story, two hundred at most."

Jamie. As if he had been insulted, Spears raised his voice slightly: "Two hundred, you sent it to ask for food, that's Eric. Williams, a billionaire. ”

Cole. Anderson had a patient smile on his face: "Mr. Spears, Eric. Williams is worth tens of billions, and that has nothing to do with me, I'm just a reporter who eats by writing a few news articles, and the price of 200 is already very reasonable. ”

The two haggled and finally settled on a price of five hundred dollars. Cole. Anderson didn't take Jamie. Spears went back to the bar and found an open-air café instead.

In Jamie. At the insistence of Spears, Cole. Anderson paid $500 and then took out a tape recorder to begin the interview.

Jamie. Spears was immersed in the pleasure of 'picking up five hundred dollars for nothing', and even if he was sober, it would be impossible for the lonely city to find Cole. The tricky pitfalls in Anderson's questions. It took half an hour to complete the 'interview', and both men went their separate ways satisfied.

Back at his lodgings, Cole, who hadn't slept all night. Anderson's face was full of excitement, and it took him a whole morning to quickly concoct a lace scandal, misinterpreting Eric's intention to invite several teenagers from the Mickey Mouse Club to visit Sharp Corner Manor, although he didn't say it explicitly, but every word asked the reader to guide Eric in the direction of Loricon.

The New York Post has always relied on sensationalism, gossip and poaching celebrity scandals and privacy as its selling points, and its paparazzi are very skilled in pouring dirty water on celebrities and avoiding legal risks.

The article was quickly sent back to the New York Post's headquarters, where it was reviewed and sent to the New York Post's editor-in-chief, Mars. Aaron's desk.

Mars. Aaron could tell at a glance that if this report was published, it would definitely cause Eric a lot of trouble. However, compared to the paparazzi at the bottom who are only responsible for collecting news, Mars. Aaron thought a little more. The United States seems to be an excesses of free speech, and even the president can ridicule them at will, but in fact, any newspaper knows that those topics cannot be touched, and those minefields need to be avoided.

Let's take the report in front of me as an example, if it had been sent out a few years ago, it would have been sent out. But Eric is now not only the owner of the Firefly Group, but also has a very close cooperation with News Corporation, the owner of the New York Post. Aaron also knew something about Eric and Elizabeth, although with his knowledge of Eric's affaires, Mars. Aaron felt that it was unlikely that the man and woman would get together, but who knows what the future holds, if he boldly annoyed Eric and brought out Murdoch, he, the editor-in-chief, would probably lose his job.

However, Eric, as a national topic, if the New York Post does not mention Eric's scandal in the future, it will definitely lose a large part of the attention. Besides, after Firefly acquired Disney and was promoted to one of the seven, it also formed a competitive relationship with Fox, and perhaps Murdoch himself would consider appropriately suppressing Eric. Williams couldn't tell, either.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mars. Allen eventually decided to pass on the article to Murdoch himself to test Murdoch's attitude. (To be continued......)
