Chapter 544: Extortion
Hollywood's A-list stars have illegitimate children, which is not super news, because there have been too many times in the past, such as Jack Nicholson, who didn't dare to do DNA testing at all, and settled directly out of court.
But in addition to Hollywood stars, Martin also has another identity - American hero.
Media reporters gathered on both sides of the red carpet, and the security personnel of the organizer were eyeing each other, ready to pounce at any time.
Bruce was clear, getting the people away first and then talking about anything else: "You can talk to Martin in person." ”
Toni still had illusions about Martin, holding the child, and followed Bruce towards the door of the hotel with a determined expression.
Halfway through, she glanced back.
Big Ben nodded at Tony.
These days, he has been deliberating on the possibility of development based on the situation told by Toni and the general environment in the circle, as well as Martin Davis's tough personality.
Big Ben has been a screenwriter and director, the former has won an Oscar, and the latter is also a good talent, on the basis of the "facts" that Toni said, further deduction will not be difficult for him at all, and he has also made various psychological presets for Tony.
Toni tells him that Martin had sex with her and that the kids are all out.
Big Ben thought of this and suddenly laughed, Martin Davis will definitely refuse, and it will be wonderful after refusal!
In some ways, it was indeed as he expected, and in the face of the so-called illegitimate child who suddenly came to the door, Martin could not admit it, because it was definitely not.
Entering the hotel gate, the experienced Nicholson reminded Martin: "If you make it, or you can't be sure, give a sum of money and send it away quickly, the longer it drags on, the more troublesome it will be." ”
Leonardo didn't think it was a big deal, and gloated: "By the way, think about how to explain it to your girlfriend." ”
"It's nothing to do with me." Martin spoke seriously, then patted Leonardo on the shoulder: "Sorry for messing up your activities." ”
Leonardo shook his head: "We don't need to talk this between us, hurry up and deal with it, and call me and Jack wherever we need to." ”
Nicholson asked, "Do you want me to accompany you, I have a lot of experience in dealing with illegitimate children who come to the door." ”
Martin said: "You should stay with Leo, I will call for help when I need it." ”
Leonardo and Nicholson continued to attend their activities, and Martin asked for a lounge at the hotel and waited patiently.
It didn't take long for Bruce and Thomas, who had arrived in a hurry, into the lounge with Tony.
Martin looked at the baby she was holding, the child was no longer crying, blinking and curiously observing the world.
Toni stepped forward and said, "John, look, this is your father." ”
Martin unconsciously took a step back, and said in his heart that this woman is crazy!
But he didn't go crazy, and when he saw Bruce nodding slightly, he said: "I remember you, at the signing in Times Square in New York, you asked me to sign the book in your wedding dress." ”
"Yes, I'm Tony, and I left you a card with your contact information." Toni said these words to Big Ben many times, and probably thought them to be true: "After a while you contacted me, and it didn't take long for me to have John." ”
Her eyes widened, and her eyes were full of anticipation: "John has your blood on his body, look at him, he looks like you." ”
Thomas blackened his face and admonished: "This lady, please pay attention to what you say, you are slandering Martin's reputation, and you will be held legally responsible!" ”
"I'm telling you all the truth, if you think there's a problem, I can take John with me for a DNA test!" ”
These words made Thomas chuckle in his heart, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Martin, and said in his heart, is it true?
After all, Martin's Playboy reputation is resounding all over the United States, and it is not uncommon for him to accidentally commit a murder.
Martin reckoned the time, it was impossible, and he remembered very well that he had not had any relationship with this woman.
The only time it was head-to-head was at a book signing in New York's Times Square.
Martin smiled, and in a kind tone, said tentatively: "Tony, you are a good girl, I don't know what entanglement you have with Ben-Affleck, but I have some personal conflicts with Big Ben, you and your children should not be used as tools in her hands." ”
Toni hugged the child tightly: "Ben is right, you will only make excuses not to admit it!" ”
In the past few months, Big Ben and Toni have gotten along very well, and under the subtle influence, Martin can say something in a few words.
Martin smiled and shook his head: "You have nothing to do with me, and this kid has nothing to do with me!" ”
Toni found that Big Ben was not right at all, these Hollywood stars had one thing on the surface and one thing on the inside, and they wouldn't admit to being illegitimate at all.
"Martin, I've put so much effort into this child, and if you don't admit it, we'll have to see you in court," she said. ”
Martin deliberately asked, "What if I don't want to see you in court?" ”
Toni patted the child lightly: "Admit that he is your son." ”
Martin instructed her without a trace: "I have nothing to do with your son, what if I want to ask you to leave?" ”
Tony's first instinct was that Martin wanted to pay, as many Hollywood stars do.
Big Ben told her more than once that she shouldn't talk about money yet.
But Toni did all this for the money.
Toni is a woman with her own ideas, and the magic of money trumps everything, and she says, "For $10 million, I'll sign a deal with you, leave Los Angeles with John, and never come back." ”
Martin righteously said: "I don't accept your threat!" ”
Toni was also a little angry, a father has assets of seventy or eighty million dollars, or even hundreds of millions, and divides ten million dollars to his son and his mother, is it much?
She said, "Martin, I'm going to call the police, I'm going to sue you in court!" ”
Martin asked, "How much, I didn't hear clearly." ”
"$10 million!" Toni stressed again: "Just give me $10 million and I'll disappear with John immediately." ”
This kind of person who comes for money can't be dismissed by words alone, and Martin is very self-aware, and he definitely doesn't have the charm of dollars.
Martin stood up, feeling the need to talk no more, for he wouldn't give a dime: "Please." ”
Toni looked at the child in her hand, and the ruthlessness towards the child's father turned from disappointment to despair, and she said, "I will apply to the court for a paternity test!" ”
Martin didn't say anything more and walked out of the lounge.
Worried, Thomas hurried up from behind and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
Martin said directly: "Has my brother ever done it, and is there anything better than me?" ”
The three of them went into another room.
Martin said: "I saw Ben Affleck next to this woman named Tony, and there seems to be Cassie Affleck not far away, and they are most likely involved in this!" ”
Thomas couldn't figure it out: "They? This woman Lao Bu said that she was a female fan of yours before......"
"They first showed up in the Coty neighborhood of Sherman Oaks when reporters blocked the door and a dozen women came out to dance topless, and then they wore their wedding dresses to a signing in New York, claiming to be Martin's wife, and if I remember correctly, Toni was the one in the lead," Bruce said. ”
Martin couldn't figure it out: "Volunteering to do a DNA test, she's bluffing?" Or are you sure? ”
Bruce asked, "Did a prodigal sneak run away with your genetic material and share it with her?" ”
"No, absolutely not." "Every time, I watched them swallow them all, not to mention that last year I ......didn't use a condom," Martin said.
At this point, he and Lao Bu both remembered: "These women once rummaged through our garbage bins!" ”
Martin looked at Lao Bu: "It can't be yours, right?" “
"Don't talk nonsense, it's definitely not mine!" Bruce also took notice: "Mine was all on Kim and Kohler. ”
Thomas knew who Kim and Khloe were, and looked at Bruce in surprise, this guy is really playing horses!
Martin frowned: "That's weird. He quickly decided: "Find the best private detective and find out Toni's whereabouts and career since last year, and see how she got involved with Big Ben." ”
Bruce nodded: "I have comrades in the Pinkerton Detective Agency, as long as the commission is enough, these are minor problems." ”
Martin asked, "Did you just record it?" “
Bruce pulls out a voice recorder, presses the play button, and when Toni says $10 million, he hits a pause.
"I don't know what the problem is, but I can be sure that that kid has nothing to do with me!" Martin, a person with deep persecution delusion, still has this self-confidence.
If you have had a relationship in the last two years, it is impossible for him to let his things leak out.
If Kate, Jolie, Aniston, Daddario, Elizabeth and others held their children and said it was his, it might be true, but Toni was never possible!
Martin added: "We've always done things in a decent way, and since Toni threatened me with $10 million, call the police, I've been blackmailed." ”
Thomas confirmed again: "Not yours? Seeing Martin nodding resolutely, he said, "Okay, call the police to deal with it." ”
Martin took out his mobile phone and said to Thomas: "You go to Leo, this event is hosted by him, tell him about it, I will borrow his venue to hold a press conference temporarily." ”
Thomas nodded and immediately went to Leonardo.
Martin pressed 911, called the police, waited for it to connect, and said, "I'm Martin Davis?" Yes, Martin Davis, honorary citizen of Los Angeles, I was blackmailed by a woman at the Hilton Beverly Hills, who threatened me and extorted me a huge sum of $10 million......"
On the 911 side of Los Angeles, there is a list of privileges, and Martin is one of them.
After the operator answered the phone, he quickly fed back the situation.
Martin, on his side, found McLean's phone and said directly: "I have been extorted, and the amount is as high as $10 million......"
McLean didn't talk nonsense and said he would come over in person soon.
Almost at the same time, Leonardo announced at the event that there would be a brief press conference to follow.
