Chapter 265 264. It turns out that my mother is the real queen of the sea

Huh. Eric shook his legs unconsciously, thinking about how to deal with this disaster.

Given their behavior of digging up other people's ancestral graves and digging up their roots, the Big Six and other TV stations will not stop until they put themselves to death.

Public opinion has just begun to arise, but it is conceivable that within three days, I will be pushed into the whirlpool of public opinion, and MGM and Lionheart Network will be in trouble as well.

"Fuck you, you are so cruel! If you don't attack, it's fine, but if you do, it'll kill me!"

Pete glanced in the rearview mirror: "Boss, is it really that serious?"

Seeing Eric remained silent, he said, "Boss, think about it another way. Since they have framed us, we don't have to follow the rules."

"Well, what do you mean?"

Pete raised his right hand and made a gun gesture to his temple: "Just shock them a little, and many problems will be solved."

"No!" Eric rejected it without even thinking about it.

What a joke! When dealing with ordinary people or even elite white-collar workers with some skills, just shooting them would be the end of it.

But when your opponent is on the same level as you, resorting to physical destruction is simply courting death.

You can kill one, kill two, but you can't kill everyone at the same time.

On the other hand, they can also kill you and your family and friends. There are no winners in this dangerous game.

During the Cold War, the United States and Russia deployed nuclear bombs to threaten each other. In the end, Nixon and Khrushchev both dismantled their weapons and withdrew their troops. No one dared to use such a method of mutual destruction.

Try your best. Even if MGM and Lionheart collapse, you still have YouTube and Facebook.

After a few years of development, you can still make a comeback.

But if you were shot on the street one day, would you say it was unfair? Ring! The private phone suddenly rang, and Eric looked down and saw that it was Judy calling.

"OMG! Eric, I just fell asleep for half an hour and I woke up from a nightmare."

"Have you watched the news?"

"I've seen it, and it's a very bad situation. It's all that bitch's fault. I really regret bringing her to Hollywood. I'm sorry!"

"What's the point of saying all this now? The most urgent thing is to find Barlefali as soon as possible. For now, don't worry about the company's affairs. Focus on finding her first."

"I know what to do. I'm calling you to reassure you."

"Um?"

Eric was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Judy was talking about.

"Eric, I have to take a few days off. Give me a week and I will give you a satisfactory explanation."

"What? Wait, what are you talking about?"

"I know the company is going through a difficult time right now, but I hope you can hold on, at least for a week, and wait for me to come back. I will solve the problems I caused myself."

"Judy, what are you doing? Speak clearly."

"I can't tell for now, just wait for my good news."

"Judy, Judy, Judy Newhouse!"

Eric yelled, but the other party had already hung up.

He slapped his head in pain. What the hell! You're still causing trouble at this time. Don't you think you're not bothered enough? The things Barlefali did were indeed related to Judy, but even without her, the six would find others. There was no way to hide.

After being annoyed, Eric couldn't help but worry about what this guy was going to do.

Among the five of them, Judy is the best fighter, but she is also the toughest in character.

Eric glanced at Pete and was really worried that this girl might do something impulsive.

She might not be able to find Barlefali, but she knew exactly where the headquarters of the six major companies and the television stations were, and she also knew what the heads of each company looked like.

If you shoot the enemy with a submachine gun, it will not only fail to solve the problem, but will also add fuel to the fire and cause irreversible harm.

Eric quickly sent her a message, advising her not to be impulsive.

Judy sent a reply, saying that she would not act impulsively and asked him not to worry.

But Eric was really worried, so he asked Billy to go to her house to keep an eye on her to make sure nothing went wrong.

Cooper's home in Beverly Hills.

Seeing the car approaching, the reporters who had been waiting nearby all rushed out, hoping to stop Eric.

But the Lincoln sedan went straight into the yard, so they had no choice but to continue waiting. They could not trespass into private property.

In the living room, the babysitter Lisa brought coffee and left, and Eric sat face to face with his parents.

"Young man, you're in big trouble this time!" Dad said with a worried look on his face.

Eric shrugged helplessly: "I'm not afraid of normal business competition, but I didn't expect them to use such despicable means."

"It's despicable but effective enough. You look exhausted because the other party controls the discourse power of mainstream media, just like when you messed up Sony."

Eric rolled his eyes: "Dad, now is not the time to make fun of me. I came back to discuss with you if there is any good way to get through this difficult time."

"The best way is to admit defeat. If you can't bring yourself to do that, I can ask those old guys for mercy on your behalf. Giving up some of your interests can buy peace."

"Let me give in? Are you kidding? Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Eric stated his attitude directly.

"Are you going to fight them to the end? To the death?"

"Yes, those guys can rest if they want, but they will never compromise unless I die!"

“I want to not only bring back the glory that MGM once had, but also all the copyrights that were lost, and you can see the growth of the company.”

"Dad, we have a great situation. The market recognizes this new model. Lionheart Network represents the future development direction of the film and television industry."

"We now hold the remote control to the future in our hands. Are you willing to throw it away?"

"Son, you are just like the Silicon Valley Iron Man Musk. He wanted to build rockets and launch satellites like a madman, which attracted countless ridicules."

Eric smiled and said, "Yes, but you know why Musk is ridiculed and I am attacked?"

"Because his plan may not come true, but my plan is on the road to realization, and those guys are afraid."

"Because I was afraid, I became anxious. Because I was anxious, I framed me."

Dad suddenly laughed too: "You are right. I can always see the blood boiling in you. This feeling is really good. Then let us two old guys help you."

"Ah? Mom can help me too?" Eric frowned.

"Eric, don't look down on anyone. You don't know your mother, at least not when she was young. Let's review it first."

"Replay what?"

"Look at what difficulties you are facing now and how many cards you have to play."

Eric nodded. "If there is any difficulty, it's the current pressure of public opinion. If we can't find Barlefali, it will be difficult to clarify this matter."

"That's all?"

"What?"

"What about your five girlfriends?"

"Them? I haven't decided yet. I have to get through the company first."

Dad looked at Mom and said, "Young people need to learn more. You need to ask your mother for advice on this."

"Huh?" Eric became more and more confused.

The mother glared at Eric and said, "The elder brother is a jerk, and the younger brother is also a jerk. I knew that both of you are not easy to deal with."

"Some time ago, we went to visit Joshua and found out that he was dating three girls at the same time. Your mother was very angry and scolded him," Dad explained.

"Why don't you tell me about this? Let me be happy too."

Eric laughed out loud, like a poor student who found out that others also got zero points.

"What's there to be happy about? The three girls also knew each other's existence and started fighting."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"They beat Joshua up?"

"I guess so. First, three people beat Joshua so badly that his face was bruised and his legs were broken."

Eric gasped, "No way, this is too cruel. Joshua will have to adopt a child in the future."

Dad was speechless: "What time is it? You are still telling such a lame joke. My right leg is broken."

"Oh, it's okay."

"Then the three girls started to feel bad for Joshua and all wanted to be with him. They started fighting each other and ended up in the hospital with all four of them."

"Joshua is so powerful! Is he a succubus?"

"You're almost going crazy because of the quarrels between the three girls, but your brother, this bastard, doesn't want to give up on anyone and is still dreaming about the four of them living in harmony."

"Then he was beaten up again, this time with a broken left leg, and was completely unable to move."

"Emily is heartbroken. Even though Joshua is a bastard, he is also my mother's bastard. She can't bear to see your brother suffer like this."

"There's no other way. Your dear mother had to take action herself and help Joshua deal with those three girls."

"Persuaded them to leave?"

The father was silent for a moment and said, "No, we brought the four of them together. Now the three of them take care of Joshua every day. He can already get out of bed and walk."

"What?"

Eric's voice instantly rose an octave, and then he looked at his mother in disbelief.

My mother sighed, "If I wasn't worried about Joshua being beaten to death, I wouldn't have helped him. God, I am guilty!"

Eric had a black question mark on his face. What happened today? It seemed that everything overturned his three views and cognition.

The father patted his shoulder and said, "Son, I know you are confused. Like I said just now, you don't know much about your mother's past."

"When we were young, do you know what period it was?"

"Uh hippie?" Eric thought for a moment before trying to answer.

"Yes, it was the era when hippies were popular. Young people were crazy and everyone was pursuing uniqueness and liberation."

"Drugs, high, heavy metal, rock, tattoos, studs."

"Young people are infecting each other, spreading these cultures like a virus. No one is immune, including the two of us."

"At that time, Emily was a famous love expert. She sang, danced, painted graffiti, frequented bars and nightclubs every day, and hung out with a group of boys on the street."

"Dear, how many boys were you dating at the same time?"

My mother sighed a little embarrassedly: "There's no need to tell Eric the details. I was really rebellious at that time and did a lot of things that went against the world."

"But fortunately, I came to my senses later. When I almost died on the street due to drugs, I was taken to the hospital by a pastor who passed by."

"I was lucky enough to survive. Death always makes people see things more clearly. Since then I have become a believer."

"Then she married your dad, and then you two little bastards were born."

Eric listened in amazement as the two told stories of the past. He never expected that his mother, who looked so pious, was actually a little gangster.

Not only is she a little gangster, she is also a sea queen.

Seeing how she was embarrassed to speak, I'm afraid she must have quite a few boyfriends.

Joshua only has three, and I only said five. Maybe I can't even catch up with a fraction of my mother's brilliant record.

"Hahahaha. Looks like it runs in our family." Eric laughed.

"I think you want to be beaten, young man!" said the mother angrily.

Eric hurried over to hug her, rubbing against her like a kitten and acting like a spoiled child: "Mom, my dearest mom, how can you bear to see your most beloved little son suffer? He needs your help now."

The mother pushed Eric away with disgust: "This is a critical moment. I am helping you to prevent them from affecting your career and to avoid new scandals."

"Some women can do anything because of love and hate. One Barlefali can make you so anxious. If another one comes out, let's see if you can handle it!"

"Okay, who are these five women? What are their personalities like? Do they know each other? How is their relationship? Are there any conflicts? Also, their family background, their degree of dependence on you, and the level of intimacy between you."

His mother asked a lot of questions, but Eric didn't feel annoyed. Instead, he felt at ease.

Wow! That's professionalism! "Mom, I know you may be surprised when you hear the name, but please don't be surprised, we are here to solve problems."

"You already know Gal Gadot, and then there's Charlize Theron, who just won the Best Actress Oscar this year. Do you remember her?"

My mother nodded and watched the award ceremony as well. My father secretly gave me a thumbs up, as if to say, "son, you have good taste."

"The third one is Nicole Kidman."

"Who?" Mom's eyes widened instantly.

"You know Nicole Kidman. She often sends things to our house. She even said the ostrich meat is delicious."

"OMG! So this is why she suddenly approached me. We often go to church together. No wonder she always mentions you intentionally or unintentionally. Now I finally understand."

"Nico and I have a very good relationship. She is always worried that you will object due to age issues, so she can only approach you secretly, hoping to gain your favor. She really tries hard."

My mother rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Go on, but you'd better not find me another divorced older woman."

"Of course, of course. The other two are very young and successful in their careers. They just won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. You watched the award ceremony, right? Hehe."

Eric laughed dryly and was too embarrassed to say Ashley and Mary's names directly.

But my father and mother opened their mouths wide and shouted in unison: "You screwed the Olsen sisters!"
