Chapter 281: Slab Bricks

The black van pulled up outside an apartment building in Culver, Los Angeles, and several burly bodyguards quickly got out of the car, separating the group of reporters who were following them. Dressed in conservative casual clothes and wearing sunglasses, Drew got out of the business van and, escorted by bodyguards, walked through the frenzied crowd of reporters and entered the apartment without saying a word.

"Okay, let's talk about it this time?" Entering the apartment door and sitting down on the living room sofa, Drew took off his sunglasses and looked coldly at his mother, Addico Gide.

I haven't seen my daughter for nearly a year, and I wanted to say a few words of intimacy, but when I heard that my daughter was so cold to herself, Eddiko Gide suddenly reluctant: "I'm your mother anyway, do you want to talk to me in this tone?"

"I ask you, what the hell is going on?" Drew stood up abruptly and slammed his sunglasses on the floor, shattering lenses and spilling them all over the floor.

The daughter suddenly went crazy and jumped Adikor Gide, but then refused to show weakness and said: "What are you angry at me, it's not that you made trouble with Eric Williams." Your bastard father even sued me, and now I ⊥ have to pay for a lawsuit, I sue you, you must compensate me twice for this money, otherwise don't think about me fighting this lawsuit, and let your bastard father take you away directly. ”

"I'll just ask, did you take money from anyone else this time?" Drew asked, raising his voice.

Addiko Gide waved his arms excitedly and said, "What money, who will give me money, I guess the money has been given to your bastard father." I didn't see a penny. It also costs money to fight lawsuits. And spend money on lawsuits!"

Drew stared at his mother for a moment before taking out a check from his purse and throwing it over, warning: "Take this money, you don't need a lawyer to ask for it, you just need to shut up for me." Also, don't let me know what you're doing behind your back, or I'll let you know what a bleak evening is!"

Eddiko Gide, who had bent down to pick up the check on the ground, heard her daughter say this. I just wanted to refute, but when I glanced down at the amount on the check, I immediately closed my mouth, and the angry expression on my face became stiff, and soon melted away, with a bit of reluctant flattery, and opened my mouth, but for a while I didn't know what to say.

Drew didn't pay any attention to Addico Gide, and said to a middle-aged maid who was hiding in the kitchen and looking at the mother-daughter confrontation in the living room, "Lady Martha, go and tidy up my room." I'm going to stay here for a while. ”

"No problem, Miss Drew. The maid said and hurriedly came out of the kitchen and went upstairs.

Drew and the other maids disappeared around the corner of the stairs before they said to Addico Gide: "During this time, you are not allowed to go to any messy parties or send duì, you are not allowed to accept invitations from strangers, and you are not allowed to bring men back. ”

"I'm your mother!" retorted Adhiko Gide again.

Drew immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Give me back the check." ”

Adicon Gide subconsciously took a step back, slipped the check into his pocket, and asked twice, "How long?"

"Wait until this is over," Drew said, went to the door and told the bodyguards to bring his luggage in, and left Adiko Gide in the living room to go upstairs on his own.

In the United States, civil lawsuits are very rare, and more than 90% of cases are settled before the final trial, so regarding the case of Drew's father against Eric, Eric's legal team immediately contacted John Barrymore privately to try to settle, but the other party directly offered up to $10 million in damages, which is no different from extortion. Eric's lawyer, Edward Lewis, negotiated privately with John Barrymore, but the other party refused to budge and had to go to court.

On January 16, the third week of the turmoil, the media was still smearing Eric with all kinds of negative information, and at the same time, the case of John Barrymore against his ex-wife Addico Gid and the famous director Eric Williams was also heard for the first time, and early in the morning, the number of reporters blocking outside Eric's Malibu Sharp Point Estate skyrocketed to more than 300, and the number of reporters at the entrance of the Los Angeles Superior Court was no less than that.

Drew and his mother arrived outside the courthouse in downtown Los Angeles in a business van, and as soon as they got out of the car, they were surrounded by a crowd of reporters.

Almost around the same time, Drew's father, who often appeared in the media as a distressed father during this time, John Barrymore also arrived at the same time, and the group of reporters who saw this scene seemed to get some kind of hint and consciously made a way between Drew and John Barrymore.

Drew got out of the car, carrying a heavy-looking satchel, smiling straight through the crowd and walking towards John Barrymore in a flash of light.

John Barrymore didn't expect his daughter to come over on his own initiative, although he showed a loving father who felt sorry for his daughter in the media, but he didn't have much affection for this baby-faced girl in his bones.

Of course, when his daughter took the initiative to come over, it was impossible for John Barrymore not to react, and after thinking about it, John Barrymore showed a gentle smile and walked towards Drew at the same time, as if he wanted to give his daughter a warm hug.

Seeing this scene, the flashing lights of the surrounding reporters were even more urgent, these reporters paid much more attention to this turmoil than the general public, so they also knew the inside story of this lawsuit very deeply, seeing this situation, many people were keenly aware that Drew Barrymore may have fallen to his father's side, in this case, this lawsuit Eric Williams will definitely lose.

When the father and daughter walked to a distance of about a meter, John Barrymore smiled and opened his arms, wanting to give his daughter a hug, after all, this gesture still has to be done.

Drew tilted his head slightly and stared at his father, the smile on his face became more and more weird, one hand reached into his satchel, took a step forward and quickly took out a red brick from the bag, and slapped it on the face of the man in front of him mercilessly when John Barrymore was defenseless.

Bang -

A muffled sound was accompanied by an obvious sound of bone cracking, and the bricks shattered and fell to the ground with a clatter. (To be continued......)
