Opening the door of the VIP room, Lily saw a middle-aged man, as well as two women, one older and one small.

The middle-aged man wears glasses and greets him with a sunny smile, elegant, mature and personable.

One of the trade fair managers explains: "This is Mr. Keith Lanier. Two more women were introduced: "These two are relatives of Mr. Lanier." ”

"Hello." Lily shook his hand gently.

Lanier shook his head and said, "I've always loved collecting art, and I was lucky to meet Miss Carter's art show in New York." ”

Looking at the person in front of her and listening to the words in her ears, Lily suddenly had a familiar feeling, and subconsciously turned around, just in time to see Martin's three bastards coming in.

She immediately understood that the person in front of her looked very much like Martin, or rather a middle-aged version of Martin.

The exterior is sunny and sven, but the inside is jet black.

Martin, Nicholson, and Leonardo came in, didn't speak, and just found a place to sit down.

In fact, he is also using this way to help Lily avoid trouble and tell the other party that there is someone behind Lily.

If you have an idea, don't put it into action.

Lily said casually, "This is my family and friends, leave them alone." ”

Lanier's gaze quickly swept over Martin and asked, "Can you sell me the artwork you participated in today?" I'm really looking for it. ”

Lily thought of Martin's words and said, "It's okay to sell, but the exhibition has just begun, and I don't have anything else to prepare." ”

Lanier was gracious: "I think it's okay to sell me all the exhibits, but they can be put here until the end of the exhibition, and then I can take them with me." ”

Lily smiled and said, "Mr. Lanier, you are a good person. ”

On the other side, Martin gestured with his eyes, and both Leonardo and Nicholson shook their heads slightly, indicating that they didn't know who this Lanier was.

Detective Nicholson, on the other hand, gave Katherine Oxenberg one more look and seemed to recognize who she was.

Lily's agent quickly negotiated a price with Lanier, and the two parties went through the formalities.

The three of Martin chatted to themselves, without mixing a word.

But the attitude couldn't be more obvious.

After signing the deal, Lanier said, "Miss Carter, if I have time in the next few days, can I come to you and hear you tell us the story behind the creation of these works of art?" ”

Lily is surrounded by two bodyguards every day, and she is not afraid at all: "Of course you can." ”

The first time they met, Lanier thought he had made a good impression, but he said, "Then we'll see you tomorrow." ”

The other party contributed more than 300,000 US dollars at once, and Lily was about to go back to the exhibition hall, and said politely: "I'll send you out." ”

"Thank you." Lanier walked out with the two women.

India suddenly turned her head to look at Martin, as if she wanted to speak.

But before the "Master" could leave, her mother Catherine pulled her to her side and dragged her out.

Lily sends Lanier and the others out.

The matter here is over, and there is no need for the three Martins to stay here, so they also go out.

Soon, the group returned to the exhibition hall.

Lanier walked straight out.

Martin was about to ask Nicholson, but Marina and Svetlana came over and pulled him to tell him that there was a banana on the wall in the next exhibition room, and that it was an art exhibition, and that someone had bought it for a lot of money.

Lanier spun around and went back to the second floor to meet Alison Mac, looking down from the heights, this time seeing not only Lily, but also the two Russian women.

All three women were surrounding Martin Davis.

Lanier's eyelids unconsciously jumped, looking at the three women around him, and then at the three women around Martin, who were also sect leaders, why was the gap so big?

Everything is most afraid of comparison, and one comparison is the easiest to be psychologically unbalanced.

Lanier said that he has quantity, but what he lacks is quality.

He gestured with his chin and asked, "Who are those two women?" ”

Alison Mac said, "I've never seen one. ”

Catherine also shook her head: "I don't know." ”

Alison was very proactive: "I'll ask someone. ”

Lanier said directly: "Ask them who they are, where they come from, and what they like." ”

"Yes." Alison bowed her head.

…………

In the exhibition hall, the three Martins and Lily entered the lounge.

With no one else around, Lily smiled and excited, exclaiming from the inside out, "I'm going to be a millionaire!" I'm going to be a millionaire! ”

She cheered: "One more dozen such fools!" ”

Leonardo couldn't see anyone happier than him, and said, "Be careful that he has ulterior motives to kidnap you." ”

Martin advised, "Remember, let the bodyguards follow at all times." ”

Lily thought of the ulterior motives of the last fool, Cassie, and nodded: "I will be very careful." ”

Martin asked Leonardo and Nicholson, "Where did this Lanier come from?" ”

Leonardo shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"I don't know him." Nicholson pushed down his sunglasses and said, "But the woman next to him, I know, Katherine Oxenberg, a well-known actress in Hollywood, I remember seeing her in "Baywatch" and "Deadly Game", and it seems that there have been few works in recent years. ”

Leonardo recalled: "I used to watch "Overseas Ambulance Team" when I was young, and it seemed that there was such a person. ”

Martin looked at Bruce, "Inquire about the situation." ”

Bruce immediately contacted Thomas and Jody to find out from both the agent and the media reporter.

The purpose of coming to cheer Lily on her for today has been achieved, and the three of Martin leave the exhibition hall together to visit some of the academy members who have settled in New York.

Although there is still some time before the Oscars, the rush for the awards has already begun.

Martin Scorsese fulfilled his dream of an Oscar for Best Director with "The Departed", and this time the resources of "Shutter Island" will be focused on Leonardo.

At the Robert De Niro home, Martin met the extended Italian family, with six children and a host of grandchildren.

The youngest of them has a nephew who is more than 20 years older than him.

Coming out of his home, Martin said: "No wonder Scorsese and De Niro have been reluctant to retire, this is the biggest motivation for artistic creation." ”

Nicholson shrugged: "How good it is to be like me, rich and have fun." ”

Leonardo said, "My goal in life is to be a jack when I'm old. ”

Martin recalls the old saying: "If you're willing to get married during awards season, I can guarantee that your chances of winning the Oscar for Best Actor are tripled." ”

He saw Leonardo's murderous eyes, and quickly changed his words: "Actually, there is another way, all the female judges, you can sleep one by one, someone has said that this is the fastest shortcut to a woman's heart!" You are Leonardo DiCaprio, and you can conquer them easily. ”

Nicholson answered: "Your idea is too unreliable, it will only make Leo not even get the nomination, and then a group of dissatisfied female judges will vote for Leo?" ”

Martin understood the meaning of this as soon as he heard it, and took the initiative to admit his mistake: "It was I who didn't think it well and ignored Leo's greatest trait." ”

Leonardo got into the car first, closed the dead door, and let the driver drive away.

Leaving Martin and Nicholson, who were helpless, had to take a taxi to keep up.

Back at the hotel, Bruce came over, and the four of them went into Martin's study together.

Martin asked, "Got it?" ”

Bruce faxed the triplicate to the three Martins: "Keith Lanier, also a leader, the leader of the so-called self-help organization Nxivm, claims to lead a new era of human evolution, providing expensive potential training, and Katherine Oxenberg is one of his assistants, in charge of Hollywood business. ”

"The NXIVM is similar to Tom Cruise's Scientology church, but it is far less numerous, and they mainly have elite female members, members from both political and business circles, and many important people," he emphasized. ”

Martin understood: "This is an elitist organization. ”

Leonardo nodded: "I've heard of this organization, and it seems that it was involved in cases of abduction of women a few years ago. ”

Bruce continued: "More than once, but all of them were not followed, and even the whistleblower was retaliated against. ”

Nicholson is well-informed: "There are a lot of organizations like this in the United States, and most of them are very difficult to do when it comes to faith. ”

He, a guy who likes to make trouble, specially reminded: "If they don't take the initiative to provoke us, we'd better ignore them." ”

Martin nodded, "I don't want to cause such trouble. ”

He specifically said to Bruce, "Remind Lily, huh...... You follow Lily for a few days until she returns to Los Angeles. ”

Nicholson said: "These things, I have been reminded in advance, with Lily's cleverness, she should not be fooled." ”

"I'm not worried about Lily." Martin knew what Lily was like in her bones, and half-jokingly said, "My concern is that Lily stabbed that Lanier with a knife." ”

Leonardo and Nicholson looked at each other.

In the days that followed, Martin was watching Lily's situation while filming on set.

Bruce had been following Lily, and for the first two days of that Lanier, he had been to the show every day but had little to do other than talk.

Lily was also wary enough to keep all the conversation in public, and politely declined Lanier's invitation to dinner.

At the end of the show, Lanier did not show up again, but was received by Katherine Oxenberg.

At the same time, all the scenes related to Marina were filmed, and Marina did not return to Russia and went to Los Angeles with Svetlana.

They plan to live in Los Angeles for a long time.

Detective Nicholson also ended his secret investigation, found Martin and Leonardo, and said: "Through this period of observation, I found that Marina is simply a drama spirit, who often acts in daily life, and does not blink her eyes when she lies. ”

Leonardo said, "Let's go back to Los Angeles and keep an eye on her!" ”

Martin reminded: "Don't mess around, she is our common property. ”
