American Scandal King

Chapter 19: A Fusion of Hero and Devil

Ten minutes later, the police and an attractive middle-aged woman arrived.

After learning the truth, the middle-aged woman burst into tears: "Oh my God! How could you do such a thing? I will kill you!"

The woman excitedly stabbed her husband with a pair of scissors.

Blonde police officer Catherine hugged her and said, "Don't be like this, ma'am. I understand how you feel, but this is police work now."

"Oh my God! How could I marry this beast?" the lady cried bitterly.

Catherine glanced at Ian not far away.

He was still holding a camera to record this scene.

This made Catherine particularly angry: "What else can you do besides filming?"

"There are many, such as saving an innocent girl before the police." Ian replied without changing his expression.

Catherine: "..."

Kate Beckinsale: "..."

So Ian looked at the middle-aged woman, pointed his camera at her, and said, "Mrs. Brazier, I hope you can accept my interview."

Mrs. Brazier looked at him in surprise. "What did you say?"

Ian calmly replied, "Logically speaking, I saved your daughter and prevented her from further harm, so you should give me something in return. From a profit perspective, I can give you an interview fee. Putting those two points aside, I can keep your daughter's identity and photo from being revealed to prevent her from suffering further harm. But if you refuse to cooperate... my conscience has a bottom line. I did a good deed, so I must be rewarded! If you don't give it to me, I'll take it myself!"

Kate Beckinsale felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.

Is this what you are saying?

Catherine rushed over angrily: "Don't even think about exposing anything."

"It's too late." Ian let her take the camera away and sneered, "I sent the information to the newspaper first, and then called you. For the sake of the children, you'd better cooperate with me!"

Mrs. Braze looked at him in astonishment. "I thought you were a hero who saved my daughter?"

Ian replied: "That's not a contradiction, ma'am! The world isn't black and white! I can be a hero or a devil, but more often than not, I'm a fusion!"

Catherine looked at him in surprise.

She turned to look at Kate Beckinsale: "Is he telling the truth?"

Kate nodded. "Before he called the police, the first thing he did was send out all the footage he'd captured... He also said if you came, you'd definitely grab his camera and stop him. Officer Brown, he predicted every reaction you'd have... He loves to predict things, and most of the time, he's right."

Catherine was speechless.

After a while, she said, "And you just watched him do it?"

Kate smiled slightly: "I am an actor and must obey the director's arrangements."

I had an inexplicable feeling in my heart, as if Ian was leading me, and my thoughts had gone astray... I was unconsciously turning into Ian's shape.

………………

In the room, Mrs. Braze was still crying, and Ian was sitting opposite her, asking all kinds of questions.

"So you and your husband have known each other for less than three months?"

"Are you sure he hasn't behaved like this before?"

"Are you sure you don't know?"

"In your daily interactions with him, have you ever noticed the way he looks at your daughter?"

"Is your sex life harmonious?"

"Have you noticed any unusual behavior in his private interactions with your daughter?"

Ian's questions came like a barrage of questions, and Mrs. Brazee stammered and answered sadly. "Enough!" Catherine couldn't stand it anymore. She said angrily, "Ian Karl, how far do you want to go? She's already in pain, you shouldn't hurt her anymore! Look at the questions you're asking!"

Ian looked at Catherine and sneered, "The public likes this! So I'm not the shameless one, I'm just satisfying the public!"

Catherine:? ? ?

So it's the world that's wrong?

Ian turned to Mrs. Blaser and said, "The interview just now was ten thousand dollars."

"What?" Mrs. Brazier looked at him in surprise.

Ian said seriously, "Ten thousand dollars! If you're willing to continue the interview, I can add more money. Mr. Blaser is definitely going to jail. You said before that you don't have a job, which means you'll have problems in your future life. You need money. So, I can end the interview now. Do you want me to finish?"

Mrs. Braze stared at Ian in a daze. She thought for a while and finally shook her head: "No, you're right, I need money."

Ian smiled and looked at Catherine again.

Catherine turned her head away helplessly.

Am I being nosy?

"Then continue." Ian said softly: "What are his habits when he does it with you? I mean, what positions does he like?"

Mrs. Braze blushed slightly, but continued to answer the question seriously.

An hour later, the interview finally ended.

Ian quickly wrote a check for $20,000 and handed it to Mrs. Blazer. "Remember, don't accept interviews from other people. Not every reporter has the same self-control as me and is willing to not expose your daughter."

Mrs. Brazier nodded repeatedly.

Catherine sneered: "I didn't know you had a bottom line."

Ian smiled.

He packed up his equipment, came to Catherine, and said, "You are still young, Your Excellency, the righteous female police officer. I believe we will have many opportunities to interact in the future. When the time comes, I will show you a wider world, and then you will know that I am actually a good person."

With that, he packed up all his things and walked out.

When they reached the door, Ian suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, as a rescuer of an innocent girl, I think I should get a commendation from the Los Angeles Police Department?"

Catherine took a deep breath and suppressed her anger: "Yes, you will get it."

Ian smiled and turned to leave with Kate.

Following behind him, Kate whispered: "Ian Carr, I'm beginning to understand who you are."

Ian looked at her.

Kate smiled: "A madman who will do anything to achieve his goal."

Although he was clearly being disparaging, his tone was gentle.

Ian said, "What if I tell you that you are also one of my targets?"

You are quite straightforward.

Even though Europeans and Americans are very direct in this regard, Kate still feels speechless.

She shook her head gently: "No! I won't like you."

Ian smiled.

He whispered, "Women always say one thing and mean another."
