Chapter 263 262. False accusations, anti-rebellion manifesto!

Female celebrities and entertainment company bosses are together. This kind of thing is common in Hollywood and around the world.

Once the audience knows about it, they will at most make a joke about the female star being a gold digger. This may have some impact on the female star, but after a period of time, no one will mention it again.

If a female star is strong enough, even the evaluation of her being a gold digger will disappear, and people will only praise them as a perfect match, or a talented man and a beautiful woman.

For the big guys, the impact is even smaller, especially for those who work behind the scenes. The audience usually doesn’t see you, so they will naturally forget about it over time.

Of course, the premise is that you don’t mess around, such as interfering in other people’s marriages as a third party, or getting involved with a female celebrity with a bad record.

Once such things are exposed, it will not only affect the personal image, but also have a certain impact on the company. Many viewers will hate the whole company. A very obvious example is the British royal family.

One of the main reasons why Charles has never been recognized and has always been criticized is Princess Diana.

In the office, Eric looked at the pile of entertainment magazines on the table with a grim expression. Most of the covers were of himself and Gadot.

In some cases, the two are hugging each other, in some cases, the two are kissing, and in some cases, the two are lying on the sofa watching TV in each other's arms. Their behavior is very intimate, and you can tell at a glance that they are lovers.

These photos are taken from many angles and in many poses, but without exception, they all have one thing in common, that is, they were taken indoors, in Gadot's rental house.

The photos have been exposed, and you can't deny it as you wish like before. Eric has to admit it even if he doesn't want to. Otherwise, how do you explain it?

Looking at the boss with a livid face, Carol no longer dared to speak as usual, and spoke carefully: "Boss, these magazines seem to have appeared overnight, filling up the entire shelf, and there is no time or opportunity for us to do public relations."

"And judging from the environment, you must have been secretly photographed. This is very abnormal. Not only is the magazine selling well, but there are also rumors about you and Gadot on the Internet."

"Does it need to be remedied? At least slow down the fermentation of online public opinion."

Eric leaned back, thought about it for a moment and then rejected the idea. Even if he wanted to spend money to settle the matter, he had to see if there was any hope of settling it, and this time there was obviously no hope.

"It's no use. It's too late to say anything now. Besides, I know who is behind this."

He took out a business card and said, "Contact Dan Jones, she is an outstanding private investigator. Ask her to investigate my surroundings. I don't want any stalkers around me."

"Understood, Boss!"

After Carol went out, Eric walked slowly to the French window, looked at the bustling crowds of people and cars below, and couldn't help falling into deep thought.

There is no doubt that the Big Six are behind this. They will use every possible means to disgust Eric and make him uncomfortable.

This kind of gossip may not have a substantial impact on business, box office, and stock price, but as long as you are uncomfortable, I will be comfortable. At least it can distract Eric and is useful.

And the person who could take these indoor photos is most likely not a paparazzi or a detective. He is very careful every time he dates Gadot to make sure that no one is following them, unless someone has special abilities such as invisibility, wall-walking, and perspective.

Eliminating the paparazzi and the detective, there are only two suspects left.

Gadot has always been very obedient. Eric has always been the one making the decisions between the two of them, and she has long been accustomed to following his arrangements.

Besides, she didn't have the mind or courage to do that. Eric was 100% sure that it wasn't her who did it.

That leaves only one suspect: Barlefali.

This woman even played missing on purpose, so everything fits together.

"Fuck you! I was worried that you were kidnapped!"

After cursing, Eric felt a little headache. He could already imagine the reactions of the other women after seeing the photos.

He will definitely be furious. I guess the phone call will come soon. How to deal with it will be a hassle, a big hassle.

Besides, I haven't yet adjusted their relationship. It would be better to give them at least another year or two.

Ling. Just when I was getting angry, the cell phone rang.

His heart skipped a beat and Eric walked to the desk. Reluctantly, he looked over and saw two big words on it: Dad.

"Well, besides women, there is also the family to deal with."

After complaining about himself, he could only answer the phone.

"Son, I got the news. It seems that you have got yourself into trouble." The father chuckled sarcastically on the phone.

Eric rolled his eyes. The old man was actually laughing at the joke.

"Okay, Dad, what do you want to say? I'm annoyed right now. If you're going to laugh at me, then hang up!"

"Don't be so anxious to hang up. It's just that your relationship has been exposed. There's nothing to worry about."

"You are a young man and Gal Gadot is a beautiful girl. You two seem to be a good match, unless you don't want others to know about your relationship."

"And why don't you want others to know? I think it's probably because you have other girlfriends."

"Goodbye to boring detective games!"

"Wait! Wait Eric, I'm not kidding you. You want to solve the problem, right? Then it's best to listen to the opinions of people who have experienced it."

Eric immediately stopped typing: "Dear father, please help your son."

"Haha. Then tell me first, how many women are you dating at the same time?"

Eric calculated in his mind that Gadot, Nicole, Theron, Ashley, and Mary must count.

Liu Xiaoli, Elena, and Zhou Wenqiong can only be considered sex partners. Liu Yifei and Elizabeth are too young to make a move yet, so they cannot be considered reserve talents.

"Count it as five."

"Five!" A sharp voice suddenly came from the phone, obviously from my mother.

"Oh no, I've been tricked!" Eric cursed inwardly and hung up the phone immediately.

What the hell is going on? I'm already feeling upset, but not only does my dad not help me, he's also helping my mom to trick me. I'm speechless.

Given my mother's temper, she had been nagging me for a long time when he had a scandal with Nicole last year. This time, when she found out that he had five girlfriends, she was so angry that she almost fainted.

"No, no, calm down, calm down, there must be a way. I'm a billionaire, I can just throw money at it, who doesn't love money?"

Then Eric pinched himself.

What a bullshit idea. It would work if you just give money to most women, but the problem is that they don't seem to be short of money.

Even for the poorest Gadot, it is not easy for her to make money with her current fame.

The richest Ashley and Mary, with the current value of Double Star Entertainment, both have a net worth of more than 500 million US dollars, and it will continue to grow.

There is a tenfold difference between one dollar and ten dollars, but there is no difference between one hundred million and one billion, because both cannot be spent.

And throwing money at someone is too insulting, it's simply an insult to feelings.

Eric has feelings for all five of them, and the five of them feel the same way about Eric. Money is not omnipotent at a time like this.

The phone rang

, and it was indeed my mom's call.

"Mom, I'm busy dealing with company matters. Can you explain everything when I get home?" Eric blocked his mother's mouth first.

"Uh ok, I'll wait for you then!"

Just after hanging up the phone, less than two minutes later, there was another knock on the door.

"Who?" Eric shouted angrily.

Snap!

Judy pushed the door open and walked in. She looked very bad, her eyes were bloodshot, her clothes were a little dirty, and there was a bad smell on her body. It looked like she hadn't rested for several days.

"Judy, what's wrong? You don't look well." Eric looked at her with some concern.

Glancing at the magazines on the table, Judy's voice was a little hoarse: "I just flew back from Israel. I already know what happened."

"Don't worry Eric, I'm not here to beg for mercy, and I'm not a fool. Barlefarri is a traitor!"

"She not only betrayed MGM, she betrayed me! I searched for her for five days and made countless phone calls, but to no avail."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought her here in the first place. It's all my fault!"

Alas! With a sigh, Eric stood up, walked over, took Judy in his arms, and patted her back gently.

During the four years of college, Judy changed girlfriends most frequently, but since she found Barra Refaeli, she became loyal because she really believed she had found love.

But it is obvious that the so-called love is just Judy's wishful thinking. Whoever is moved will be hurt. It seems that she was hurt badly this time.

"Forget it, don't talk about it. Love can make people blind. I don't blame you."

"Look at how you look now. You are no longer as energetic as usual. Go back and take a good shower and have a good sleep. We can talk about other things after you wake up."

But the more generous Eric was, the more uncomfortable Judy felt.

She said with cold eyes: "I don't mind her leaving, but she should never do this. She is hurting my friends."

"Eric, I promise you that I will find Rafaeli and make her pay!"

Seeing Judy's gloomy look, Eric was a little worried: "Don't do anything rash. Even if you find someone, don't be impulsive."

"Especially don't use violence. Even though you're the best fighter among the five of us, we all have the law above us. Don't put yourself in harm's way."

Judy sneered, "What are you talking about? Do I look like a fool? And what's the point of beating her up? I might even have to pay her some money."

"Haha. It's best if you think this way. Go home and have a good rest first. Come see me when you are refreshed."

"Um."

When they reached the door, Judy suddenly turned around and said, "Eric, Barra Farley is no longer my girlfriend. You can do whatever you want."

Eric smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you to say that."

Soon, MGM issued a statement.

"Due to Bar LeFai's unexplained and prolonged absence from filming, and without asking for leave, the filming schedule of The Walking Dead has been severely delayed."

"His behavior violated the spirit of the contract and was a unilateral breach of contract."

"So after careful consideration, MGM has decided to terminate all working relationships with Bar LeFari in accordance with the contract and to claim compensation for the losses caused by his breach of contract."

"MGM will not have any work exchanges with such disloyal actors in the future, and we hope that the Screen Actors Guild can handle this matter in a fair manner."

After this statement was issued, it quickly sparked widespread discussion and was linked to the scandal between Eric and Gadot.

"What is going on? Is Bar LeFai Faley banned by MGM? What about Maggie? I like Maggie very much."

"Bar Refaeli is such an actor. Her character is so bad!"

"Is this true? Barry Farley is so beautiful, she definitely wouldn't do that. This is just a unilateral statement from MGM and may not be credible."

"I think I understand. Bar Rafaeli and Gal Gadot are roommates. And those indoor photos of Eric Cooper and Gal Gadot were probably exposed by Bar Rafaeli."

"It has been determined that it was Bar Raifali who exposed the scandal, which angered Eric Cooper. Everything is an excuse because she messed with the wrong person!"

"I don't care about gossip. I just want to know what's going to happen to House of Cards? What's going to happen to The Walking Dead? What's going to happen to Bar LeFari's character?"

It was so interesting that netizens were watching the show online. On one hand, there was a wonderful confrontation on the big screen, and on the other hand, there was gossip flying around in the real world.

The reason why Eric issued a statement, in addition to discrediting Bar Rafaeli, was most importantly to force her to show up.

I don’t know where this bitch is hiding, and I don’t know if she has anything else in her hands. We must force her out quickly.

It turned out that this method was effective. Not long after MGM issued its statement, a video was circulated.

Or to be more precise, it is a manifesto against rebellion.

In the picture, Barlefali has a sad and angry look on her face, as if she has suffered a great injustice.

She said in a heavy tone: "I have been treated unfairly, both in life and at work."

"Gal Gadot is a very arrogant person. When we came to Hollywood together to pursue our dreams, we were just newcomers at that time and we had a good relationship."

"But everything changed when she got together with Eric Cooper and became the heroine of Transformers."

"By the way, I remember they were together a long time ago, when Gal Gadot was not yet an adult."

"From then on, she was no longer like a friend, but more like a slave owner, and I was the one being oppressed. I served her like a servant."

"If I didn't obey, she would let the men exercise their privileges and I would be fired immediately, losing my hard-earned role and reputation."

"It's been a traumatic experience and I just can't stand it anymore. I just can't stand the privileged class anymore."

"We are all human beings, why do I have to suffer unfair treatment?"

"Yes, I did leave The Walking Dead without taking a leave of absence, but that was because I couldn't take it anymore."

"I am about to collapse. The two of them laughing is like a nightmare that haunts me all the time and keeps me awake. It's all too painful."

"Even if I get fired or sued, I will stand up and speak out."

"Because I have to defend my dignity!"
