Chapter 54: You Can Always Trust a Jerk's Means
Sophia stood beside her, and handed Holly a tissue with sympathetic eyes,
Holly took the tissue, choked up and said thank you to Sophia, then sat down in front of Tommy with a painful expression, and continued: "Tommy, I can't stand it anymore, I'm going crazy." ”
"So if you had been my girlfriend in the first place, you would have gone crazy faster, which is why I chose Renny." Tommy stood in front of Holly, gently pressed the other party's head against his lower abdomen, and then gently stroked her long hair:
"Look at Renee, she has been working with each other four times in three days, and she is completely unaffected, and the other party has no interest in digging into her at all, everyone already knows that my beautiful and cute and simple girlfriend is completely unaware of everything that the Actor company does, and firmly believes that the Actor company is just helping others, how perfect."
"I can live with being stalked by unknown people, calling me late at night, rummaging through garbage and stuff, but now ...... They turned up my experience in high school, where every high school student had their own high school life, but it was supposed to be a personal memory, and I didn't want to be known and turned into a public memory. Holly's voice was filled with pain and confusion:
"You know what that feels like?"
"I know." Tommy looked ahead with a calm expression, his hand stroking between Holly's long supple hair, "I knew there would be this pain. ”
Holly closed her eyes and whispered, "You'll understand me, right?" ”
"Do you mean that you understand that you have contacted the other party and are ready to meet with the other party without a lawyer, and ask how the other party can help you keep your privacy?" Tommy smiled in his voice, "I advise you not to do that, Holly, the only condition for them to help you keep a secret is that you tell them everything you know about the Actors and help them complete the witness testimony they want, and there is no other chance of convincing them." ”
Holly had closed her eyes and felt the warmth of this moment, but at this time she opened her eyes, slowly removed her head from Tommy's body, raised her head in shock and looked down at Tommy, who was looking down and giving her a warm smile: "How do you know?" ”
Tommy took two steps back, sat down on the desk, leaned forward, crossed his hands in front of him, and looked at the blonde girl with a shocked look on his face: "What makes you feel that you meet each other, and I will forgive and tolerate you?" You've done so much for this company, and I'm so grateful to you, Holly, but I hope you understand that there are some things you can't try. ”
"How do you know? I ask you how do you know that I am going to meet with the lawyer without the other party! Holly's tone intensified, staring into Tommy's eyes and asking aloud, "How do you know everything!" Answer me! Are you listening to me? Is that right! ”
Tommy took out a cigarette and handed it to Holly: "No, don't worry, I didn't listen to you, I wouldn't make this mistake at this time, it's illegal to spy on anyone without authorization, I can't break any laws now, not to mention that we are a lawsuit between two companies, and it's not a spy war between the United States and the Soviet Union." ”
Hearing Tommy's affirmative statement that he wasn't listening, Holly's expression softened a lot, hesitated for a moment, and took the cigarette: "You haven't said how you did it?" ”
Tommy didn't rush to answer, but looked at Sophia and waved at her, Sophia rolled her eyes speechlessly and walked out of the garage, leaving only Holly and Tommy inside.
When Sophia walked away, Tommy laughed at himself: "I don't know how to do it, all I can say is, maybe this is the method of Ms. Delia Case, I don't know if the investigative detective wandering around at this time is Lotus or belongs to Actor Corporation, I only know, unless you are sure that the other party is from Lotus Company, otherwise without knowing the other party's true identity, rashly agree to any questions from the other party, Delia could get the news that you are likely to betray the Actor Corporation, and then let me know, and then I will come forward to address this potential risk. ”
"You're saying that half of the bastards out there who are going to drive people crazy are likely to be hired by Actor Corporations? You use the same means as your opponents to your classmates, peers, friends?! When Holly heard Tommy's words, her whole person suddenly roared:
"We've worked so hard for the Actor Company for so long, and we've been stalked and harassed 24 hours a day, and you've been tested for the loyalty of you bastard!"
"No, no, no, I'm not worried about your loyalty, Holly, I'm not worried." Tommy picked up the lighter and lit it, and handed it to Holly's lips, "You don't betray me, betray the Actor because of those little things, I never doubt that." ”
Holly lit the cigarette, heard Tommy's words, lowered her head and laughed at herself: "I don't have confidence myself, otherwise how could I agree to meet with the other party, don't be too optimistic, Tommy, don't be confident in me." ”
"Of course I have full confidence in you, Holly, and I can even give you the strength to stand up to the dirty tactics of the other side." Tommy looked at Holly tenderly:
"Remember when you started a women's organization on campus? Remember when each of the four of you got a sum of money? If the other party gets any testimony against the Actor company from the four of you, you will not only ruin the Actor, but also ruin your own future, and in court, Delia will tell everyone that you set up that organization behind my back, and use my trust in you to cheat the company's donations, and then keep the donations for ......yourself."
"Bastard! That's what you made me do! Holly heard what Tommy said, raised her hand to slap Tommy, but Tommy grabbed her wrist and slapped her backhand on Holly's face, making a crisp sound!
Holly was stunned on the spot by this slap, probably because Tommy respected women during this time, and helped women talk too much, so that Holly forgot that this bastard never respected the label of women in his bones, only the words "profit first", and now, this slap reminded her again.
"You're a co-founder of Actor! Co-founder! *Child! And you're actually at such a juncture, worrying that such a trivial matter as sleeping with your cousin's man in high school will damage your mother's reputation? What do you think will happen if the other party knows the news? World Outbreak Fucking World War III? I'll tell you! In addition to making you scared! Nothing will happen! Tommy stared at Holly fiercely and roared in a low voice:
"I thought you were a smart woman, Holly, I've always thought so, but I'm disappointed by your performance, you may be a little smart, but you don't have a big heart! Your cousin knows, your family knows, and what if you know? As long as we get Lotus out, you'll be able to go home with the bills and even hit your cousin willingly with the money and her poor boyfriend with you! But fuck because of you, if the Actor company loses, guess what will happen, your little shit will make you the recognized * son of your hometown, it's inevitable, and then it's fucking ready to say goodbye to Stanford University, go to jail for suspected tax evasion and other crimes, and come out with your face, find an entertainment company to be a mid-range girl, or go to work in a stripping club, it's your best end, that's still the case if I forgive you! Am I being too gentle to give you the illusion that betraying the Actor Corporation will have no consequences? Be realistic, girl! ”
"You've already calculated everything that will happen, registered a women's organization in my name, and tricked the four of us into stupidly splitting the money......" Holly looked at Tommy and said in a sad voice, "From beginning to end, you don't trust anyone at all......"
Tommy stared at Holly: "It's all the other party's means to destroy your nerves with this disgusting!" Until you are overwhelmed and choose to give in! You think the lawsuit is just fucking the lawyers on both sides of the court arguing eloquently? No, this is the pleasure enjoyed by rich people, who can use money to force us poor ghosts to learn to betray in front of money, learn to bow in front of money, learn to kneel in front of money! When you think that those things are being covered up by the other party because of your submission, it's the opposite! You're only going to find out that you've lost more! Now think carefully about what the fuck you can gain by betraying an Actor! Keeping an adolescent anecdote that no one cares about at all that doesn't need to be kept secret?! ”
"You're quite right, but ...... Under the constant destruction of the other party, that worry will be infinitely magnified. Holly's eyes rolled a few times, and she came back to her senses a little: "But their methods are far worse than yours, Tommy Hawke, you managed to make me sober, even if I am not sober, I have to worry about betraying the Actor and being sent to prison by you, from now on, you don't have to worry about me leaking secrets." ”
"It's not that I don't trust you! I just know too well how you cuties who haven't seen this real world will react when they encounter these shocks, so I used the same means to tie you to me in advance! Get past this and you'll find out why you almost gave up on the Actor because of that stupid* threat in the first place! Tommy pointed at Holly with a cold gaze:
"A secret that those people can easily find is not a secret at all! If you can find it, it means that the secret has been known, and there is no point in insisting on it! And I've already helped you guys get revenge on each other, and I promise that at this point, the people of Lotus will only suffer more than you, and we will torture and destroy each other until someone on the other side is overwhelmed, and we find the real sore foot, and then turn him into our important witness! This is the American Evidence Investigation! Otherwise, why do you think there are many cases where the evidence is conclusive, but the plaintiff finally withdraws the lawsuit? Because they can't handle this pressure! ”
Holly took a puff on her cigarette, laughed at Tommy, and asked, "Did I let you down?" ”
"If you're disappointed, I'm not going to slap you in the face." Tommy calmed down and opened his arms: "I hope this kind of thing will never happen to you, come here, come to Daddy, let me make an ice pack for your face." ”
"Would those people at Lotus have this experience?" Holly lowered her head, flicked the ash of her cigarette, and finally threw the whole cigarette away, then threw herself into Tommy's arms, hugged Tommy's shoulders, and almost gritted her teeth and said, "Tommy, I don't want to betray our Actor, but this feeling of destroying you and constantly making you waver between betrayal and persistence is too painful...... Promise me to give this pain back to the people at Lotus exponentially. ”
Tommy patted Holly on the back: "You can always trust a jerk by the means." ”
