Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 268 Ward Threat
At the end of the belly button touching competition, a white model from Bulgaria won.

"Here's your business card. If you want to audition, I can arrange it for you." Tang De handed her the business card.

The female model was very excited and seemed a little bit in disbelief after receiving the business card.

But Harvey Weinstein seemed to want to put Tang De ahead of him, and he also took out a business card and handed it to the female model: "Tang, you are too stingy, baby, I don't need an audition here, just come to me, and I can help you arrange an absolutely outstanding role."

"Thank you, thank you." The female model's eager thanks pleased Harvey so much that he couldn't help but look the girl up and down with a greedy look.

"Wow!" The girl next to Harvey exclaimed in surprise and said coquettishly, "Harvey, I want it too."

"You? Look at your waist, it's like a bucket...hahaha." Harvey said hurtful words nonchalantly.

The girl's expression darkened, but she forced a smile and agreed with Harvey.

Tang De watched this scene without saying a word. After the party was over, Tang De drove all the way to a secluded street.

After waiting for a while, a figure got on the car led by Tom.

It was the Bulgarian model.

"Boss." The female model nodded and looked at Tang De with awe.

Tang De was wearing sunglasses, and his face was not very clear in the rearview mirror, but it could be seen that he quite appreciated the performance of the female model.

"Liz, you did a great job today."

"Thank you, boss. Harvey just talked to me alone." The female model Liz told the truth about everything that happened at the party: "He told me not to look for you because you won't give me any good roles. He also said that he has more say in this circle and can arrange many opportunities for me to appear in big movies. He even thinks I have a chance to win an Oscar."

"Haha." Tang De couldn't help laughing twice: "He has always been very confident, and then what?"

"Then he wanted me to stay at the party today, but I said my mother was waiting for me at home, so I left. Before I left, he asked me to come to his office tomorrow to discuss the role with me in detail."

"It seems like our chance has come." Tang De tapped his knees: "Put this on the bottom of your high heels tomorrow."

He handed over a light brown, button-sized bug, and Liz took it and carefully put it in her bag.

"Remember, don't have any physical contact with Harvey. He likes to force himself on you. Your bag will probably be taken away tomorrow, so be careful."

"Don't worry, boss. I used to hang out on the streets." Liz smiled. She was not an ordinary girl next door.

"That's good." Tang De nodded, Tom opened the car door, Liz got out, returned to her car and drove away.

And Tang De was also taken back home by Tom.

The next afternoon, when Tang De was handling company affairs, he received news from his subordinates.

"Liz got beaten?"

"Is the injury serious?"

When Youfei heard these words while pouring tea for Tang De, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at Tang De.

"That's good, calm her down and tell her that someone will pay for this."

"Is it not going well?" After Tang De hung up the phone, You Fei came behind him and stretched out her slender and soft hands to massage his shoulders.

"It should be said that it went too smoothly." Tang De sneered: "Harvey, the old pervert, couldn't wait to force Liz to submit after she came in. As a result, Liz kicked him when she resisted. He got angry and beat Liz."

"Maybe he has gotten used to his status as a superior." Yufei guessed, "But I think he will soon realize it and go to public relations with Liz."

"That's perfect." Tang De nodded: "I'm ready and just waiting for him to show up."

At the same time, Liz, who was staying in a single room in the hospital, was greeted by several lawyers and police officers.

"Ms. Liz, we are the lawyers appointed by Mr. Harvey Weinstein. We are here to talk to you about your attack on Mr. Harvey."

Looking at Liz with gauze wrapped on her head, the leading male lawyer spoke in an emotionless voice.

When Liz heard this, she immediately became angry: "Assault? You said I assaulted him? Damn it, he sexually harassed me and beat me up."

"I'm sorry, Ms. Liz. I know you're very emotional, but please calm down." The lawyer opened his laptop and said, "Take a look at this surveillance video."

Liz frowned and noticed that in the video, Harvey was the first to rush out of the office, and then she chased out of the office waving a vase.

The male lawyer paused the video: "The surveillance shows that it was Miss Liz who chased after my employer, Mr. Harvey, and beat him. It was clearly visible."

"That's me resisting. Are you blind? Look at my head!" Liz shouted, pointing at the gauze on her body.

The male lawyer extended his hand to signal Liz to calm down. "Don't be impatient, Miss Liz. These gauze and wounds can only prove that you had a physical conflict with my employer, but the reason, unfortunately, is not favorable to Miss Liz."

The male lawyer paused, looked at Liz's angry expression, and raised his lip corners slightly. "But my employer, Mr. Harvey, sympathizes with Miss Liz's situation, so now he has given her two options. First, you can accept our mediation and compensate my employer, Mr. Harvey, for medical expenses and reputation damage. We calculated and this amount is probably enough."

Liz looked at his outstretched finger. "Thirty thousand dollars?"

"No, three million dollars." The lawyer's loud mouth startled Liz: "You are really crazy!"

"This is strictly calculated, Miss Liz, no problem. Of course, you can also choose another way, that is, we will charge you with intentional injury and let these police officers take you to the police station for detention."

When the male lawyer said this, the police officers immediately stepped forward and said, "We, the New York police, will act impartially. Don't worry."

"Fairness?" Liz sneered twice. Seeing that she was about to be cornered by this group of people, she gritted her teeth and said, "What if I have evidence? What if I have evidence that Harvey wanted to sexually assault me?"

"What?" This move caught the other lawyer off guard. He could no longer maintain his indifferent expression and showed surprise.

But out of professional necessity, he steadied his voice and said, "I must remind you, Miss Liz, if you are referring to Mr. Harvey's invitation and the testimonies of other people, they are meaningless because they are not direct evidence."

"Of course I know." Liz laughed: "It's not these unimportant things, it's the recording. I recorded the evidence that Harvey wanted to sexually assault me. He said he liked me, wanted to praise me, and even wanted to touch my silky body. Is that considered sexual assault?" The male lawyer finally frowned. He didn't expect Liz to be prepared. This was completely inconsistent with Harvey's statement.

Because they checked Liz's bag and clothes and didn't find any bugs.

So where did this recording come from?

This reminded him of something that happened a few years ago.

When the male lawyer was silent, the policeman said: "You can give the evidence to our police without worry. If Harvey really tried to violate you, we can prosecute him after investigation and evidence collection."

"Forget it." Liz snorted coldly: "I don't plan to sue Harvey for the time being, and don't even think about asking me to hand over the evidence. Tell Harvey that I won't let him go. I have already given the evidence to the person I trust the most. If anything unexpected happens to me, she will make the evidence public, so don't even think about targeting me."

"Ms. Liz, your words are baseless. You are only saying that Mr. Harvey tried to assault you, but we haven't seen any evidence, so we will not stop the prosecution against you. Moreover, perjury is a felony."

The male lawyer tried to intimidate Liz, but Liz was not afraid at all. Instead, she said calmly, "You don't have to believe it, but you'd better ask your master. If you are not afraid of my death, then just sue me. Then you can announce in court that I am just an ordinary model, and your master is a big shot in Hollywood."

After saying that, she rang the ward bell and asked the nurse to kick these people out.

The New York police also tried to ask for evidence from Liz, but Liz didn't listen at all.

After everyone left, Tom, wearing a baseball cap, walked into the ward in a low-key manner. After checking, he said to Liz, "The boss already knows about this. Don't worry, Harvey will pay the price."

"That's good. Damn, this idiot is so disgusting!" Liz did not hide her disgust at all, and then looked at Tom: "If he was as handsome as you, I would still consider it."

Tom was stunned and didn't say anything.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Liz no longer pretended to be herself since she was hospitalized. As she said, she was like a little street girl.

But she has red hair, a sexy figure, and a pretty face, and her swearing doesn't make people feel too disgusted.

"No." Tom shook his head.

"Then why don't you find one? Is it because there is no suitable one around the boss?" Liz asked Tom excitedly, which caught Tom off guard.

But Tom was also straightforward and didn't hide it: "I'm too lazy to look for it. It's troublesome."

"Hey, man, how do you usually solve personal problems?" Liz asked very aggressively.

"Those women on the street..." Tom was actually quite frank. Perhaps Liz's temperament reminded him of the days when he was in the army.

The women there are also very direct.

"I knew it, but it wouldn't feel good. She doesn't even know what position you like." Liz shook her head.

"Maybe." Tom felt that even he could not withstand Liz's questioning.

Fortunately, Liz didn't continue the conversation because she had a headache and needed to rest.

Two days later, just when Liz was about to be discharged from the hospital, Harvey's lawyer came again.

But this time, he brought a team of bodyguards with him. After entering the ward, they searched it inside and out, and only let the lawyer in after confirming that there were no eavesdropping devices.

Liz looked at the situation and sneered, "Why, are you afraid that I will record your ugly faces?"

"This is just a necessary and small measure." The male lawyer said, "After careful consideration, Mr. Harvey decided not to pursue Miss Liz's fault and is willing to pay a considerable amount of medical expenses to comfort Miss Liz's injured body and mind."

"Oh?" Liz opened the cigarette box with interest and lit a cigarette for herself: "You don't mind if I smoke a cigarette."

"That's fine." The male lawyer nodded. "The money is about one million dollars. As long as Miss Liz is willing to hand over all her electronic devices and promise not to have backups, the money will be handed over to you in the form of an anonymous check."

"And then?" Liz exhaled a puff of smoke: "You're going to get rid of me with just this little money?"

The male lawyer was very sensitive to the smell of cigarettes. He put his finger to his nose and asked, "Miss Liz, do you think it's too little? We can continue to talk, but I must make it clear that this money is only for medical expenses and mental damages, and does not include any other meanings."

"So? I'm not blackmailing you." Liz said with a wry smile: "I won't give you the evidence, forget it."

Seeing that Liz wasn't buying it, a burly bodyguard came over and held Liz down, while another bodyguard pulled out his gun.

"Are you trying to threaten me? Let me go!" Liz saw them trying to do this and quickly shouted, "I have given all the evidence to my good friend. If I die or get hurt, she will publish it and sue you. I am not kidding!"

The male lawyer was silent for a moment and then stretched out his hand.

The two bodyguards immediately stepped back, allowing Liz to be free.

"Okay, Miss Liz, you can tell me what conditions you have." The male lawyer explained: "Mr. Harvey is very sincere. Don't let things get to the point of no return, okay?"

Liz was also a little scared. She looked at the people around her and said, "Then don't try to control me. Let me think about it for a few days. If I have any requests, I will contact you."

"Okay." The male lawyer threw a business card on the bed: "I hope Miss Liz will be quick, otherwise if anything unexpected happens, we will be very sad."

Liz said nothing.

After they had been gone for a few minutes, Tom walked into the ward.

"If you had rescued me at this speed, I would have been dead." Liz couldn't help but complain.

Tom didn't look apologetic. "I've been listening outside the door. If they load the gun, I'll come in."

"Fortunately, they didn't load the cigarettes." Liz picked up the cigarette box and threw it to Tom: "It should be okay this time."

"No problem, you did a great job, I believe the boss will be happy to give you a generous reward." Tom took out a cigarette from the cigarette box that was no different from any other cigarette, gently broke it open, and the silver-gray metallic luster inside was immediately revealed.
