Chapter 412 Accountability for breach of contract
It was still daylight, and Martin came out of the night club in Nicholson's extended Lincoln.
The bastard trio who had just enjoyed a facial cleanser service was in good spirits at this time.
Nicholson put on his sunglasses and yelled, "Party it!" It's a party, I can hit ten! No...... Twenty. ”
Leonardo glanced at the delusional old bastard and said directly: "I don't want to attend your funeral tomorrow." ”
Martin lowered the baffle slightly and said to the driver, "Go to me." He raised the baffle: "I just got a few bottles of good wine, tonight at the Golden Globe Awards, we are drinking and watching beautiful women." ”
Leonardo said: "It's obviously a gathering of demons and monsters, how can there be any beauty." ”
Martin pointed at him: "Just you have a lot of business, when you drink too much, I will help you call the beauty and call Giselle Bonchen." ”
Leonardo was furious and launched a triple attack: "Do you think I'm afraid of these?" You have the ability to call Gisele Bonchen! ”
"As long as you propose to her on the spot, I will immediately hire someone to rent a plane to pick up Bangchen." Martin looked particularly responsible: "I covered all the expenses for your marriage proposal!" ”
Leonardo was defeated, but unwilling to admit defeat, said to Nicholson: "See, Jack, Martin is inflated, he doesn't take money as money, he doesn't look like a nouveau riche?" ”
Martin leaned back in his seat, the arrogance of the golden sword: "You want to let a man who has just become a multi-millionaire show off." ”
In fact, he only has this kind of prodigal posture in the bastard trio.
The Lincoln sedan quickly drove into Martin's home.
The three bastards enter the living room and find someone in the house.
Wearing a professional apron and carving knife in hand, Lily is carving a half-human-tall clay sculpture.
Martin let the two bastards come in first and asked, "When did you come?" ”
Lily said: "After lunch, I'll come over to help you clean up the house, make a mess, clean up and have nothing to do, I'll practice by the way." ”
She took the initiative to say hello to Leonardo and Nicholson.
Martin also made presentations on both sides.
As soon as Leonardo heard Lily's name, he immediately understood: "You are the original author of the clown statue." ”
"It's me." Lily has been working part-time in the Dark Knight crew for more than half a year, and she has become numb when she encounters too many people with her carved clowns in their hands: "You are free, don't worry about me." ”
Martin called Leonardo to go to the cellar to get wine, Nicholson turned on the TV, and the red carpet of the Golden Globes ceremony had come to an end.
Leonardo took three glasses and poured them and asked Lily, "Would you like to have a drink?" ”
Lily shook her head: "I'm not of drinking age yet. ”
Martin came over and patted Leonardo on the shoulder, kindly reminding, "Don't mess with her." ”
Leonardo was at a loss and had to sit on the couch and drink with Martin and Nicholson.
Lily is about the same age as Nicholson's daughter, Lorraine, and Nicholson toasts her, "Your carving is amazing, thank you for the statue." ”
"You're welcome." Lily picked up the can of Coke next to her and clinked glasses with Nicholson.
Leonardo was just about to pick up his glass when he found Lily putting down the can and picking up the sharp carving knife.
The carving knife fluttered like a butterfly between her slender fingers.
Then Leonardo saw that the carving knife in Lily's hand was shining with a cold light, poofing and poofing at the clay figure.
When she stopped, there were more than a dozen holes in the sculpture's eyes, throat, heart, and lower abdomen.
It's going to be poked at people......
Leonardo quickly turned his head, took the wine glass and poured it all down, suppressing the feeling of panic.
Martin turned his head and asked, "What's wrong, Leo?" ”
Leonardo hurriedly shook his head: "It's okay, I just want to drink." ”
Martin took the bottle and filled it for him: "You can drink as much as you want, any wine in my cellar, you can drink whichever you want." ”
"Of course." Leonardo said that the people who grew up with Martin don't seem to be normal.
The three of them sipped wine and watched the Golden Globe Awards.
On the other side, Lily saw that Leonardo was frightened, reworked the sculpture, pushed into the storage room on the side, cleaned up the scene, and said to Martin: "I'm going back to school, you pay attention, don't always make such a mess at home." ”
Martin waved his hand: "Let's go, I won't send you." ”
After Lily left, the three Martins had fun with the Golden Globes, drinking glasses of wine, and discussing the rights and wrongs in the circle, so comfortable.
When it comes to the coffee seat of the three of them, the Golden Globe Award is indeed fun.
For example, Julian Spenard won the best director for "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly".
People like the Coen brothers, Ridley Scott and others all ran along.
The former's film that won the award this year is called "No Country for Old Men".
When it came to Best Actress, Julie Christie won the award, not Kate Winslet, who has received various actress awards since the start of the awards season.
Of course, Kate will certainly not be disappointed, because she has already won the most crucial Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress.
Martin picked up his glass and touched it with Leonardo: "I hope Kate can get the Oscar." ”
Leonardo put away the joke: "May God bless Kate." ”
Nicholson said directly: "Kate has won almost all the awards for Best Actress that really has a weather vane value, and she will definitely win it." ”
Martin didn't drink: "Let's not congratulate Kate first, it's taboo to open champagne at halftime." ”
Leonardo couldn't agree more: "That's right. ”
…………
Tonight, the Golden Globes have attracted so much attention that the Los Angeles media has all the focus on the glittering casinos.
Caroline, a Latin woman, finishes her day at work and doesn't want to go home right away, ready to find a bar to drink.
Since coming forward to accuse Brad Pitt, Caroline's life has been much better than before.
Although the small group led by her never reconciled with Pitt, mainly because of the financial inability to reach an agreement, the remuneration obtained by selling news and paid interviews has also greatly improved the life of the whole family.
Even, Caroline felt that Pete was a good person and changed the fate of her family.
Such a good person, of course, has to bite to the death, and strive to bite more flesh down.
It was getting dark, and she got out of the car and kept being cautious.
In this Latin community, the security is not very good, not to mention the monitoring and the like are almost blank, and even many street lights have been smashed.
Caroline hadn't taken a few steps when someone called out to her behind a lamppost.
"Hi Caroline, let's talk."
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Caroline stopped vigilantly, reached into her bag, and grabbed the anti-wolf spray.
"You keep a good distance, I won't get close, just a few words." The man wore a hood, and the brim of the hat was shaded by the shadow of most of his face: "Brad Pitt's assets are beyond your imagination, and he still has a lot of fixed assets." ”
Caroline had been making a fuss for almost a year, and Pete's situation was somewhat understood: "I know. ”
The man's voice was hoarse and quite ugly: "The little compensation you asked for is nothing to him, do you know why he has been refusing to let go?" It's not because you want a lot of money, but he wants to drag it out, he has enough assets to drag it out, and if you drag it out until you can't stand it, you will naturally reconcile with him. ”
"Don't forget, the Los Angeles police have lifted Pete's restraining order," he reminded. ”
With that, the man pulled out a tape recorder, pressed play, and Pete's voice rang out.
"I'd rather give the money to the lawyer than give the poor guys a penny more!"
Caroline worked as a babysitter for Pete and could hear him.
"Who are you?" She asked.
The man said, "A kind man who has a grudge against Pete and sympathizes with you victims. ”
Caroline didn't ask any more.
The man lowered his hat and took advantage of the darkness to walk out of the community alone.
Passing by a garbage station, he pulled out the cassette tape from the cassette and burned a firelight to ashes.
The so-called Pete's words, although they are real recordings and are also from Pitt's mouth, are lines from one of Pitt's works.
Half an hour later, Jody, who had just come out of TMZ, was sitting in a coffee shop.
After drinking coffee alone and waiting for a while, Ivan hurried into the coffee shop, pulled out a chair and sat opposite Jodi.
Jody asked, "What are you looking for me for?" ”
Ivan asked for a cup of black coffee first, and then said: "Recently, I bought equipment, changed houses, and ran out of money. ”
This is an important news channel, Jody didn't say a word, took out his wallet, took out all the cash, and put it on the table: "Now, that's all I have." ”
Ivan did not touch it at all and said: "I want to make a lot of money, make more money." ”
Jody dragged his chair forward and lowered his head to Ivan: "What's the top secret news?" ”
"Remember the agreement we made with lawyer Camille?" Ivan whispered: "We helped her get the representation of Pitt's victims, and she gave us a percentage of the lawyer's fees as compensation." ”
His words were direct: "Aren't there still many victims who have not reached a final settlement with Pete? Can we find a way to increase the compensation, the more compensation the victims get, the higher Camille's legal fees, and the more we will draw the money. ”
Jody frowned: "It's very complicated......"
"Pitt has a lot of quality assets." Ivan did his homework: "I got the exact news that a number of brands that Pitt had previously represented planned to unite and pursue Pitt for breach of contract during the endorsement. ”
This matter is not new, because Cadillac made a fuss last year, and Jody pondered: "As the global image spokesperson of many brands, strictly speaking, Pitt's nanny door incident has indeed caused huge reputation and image damage to related brands." ”
Ivan clenched his fist and pounded the table: "Their business groups rush to the front to eat meat, we follow behind, pick up more minced meat, it will be enough for us to eat." ”
With huge benefits in front of him, if he didn't try it, Jody was not reconciled and asked, "Is there a problem with your sources?" ”
Ivan said: "There is absolutely no problem. ”
Jody made up her mind: "I'll go to Lawyer Camille. ”
She got out of the coffee shop, did not rush to leave, got into the car, made several phone calls in a row, and soon got the exact news that Cadillac had notified its law firm in Los Angeles to restart Pitt's breach of contract liability.
