American Scandal King

Chapter 24 Don’t even think about it

After leaving Lilimarta's villa, Kate picked up the phone and called Ian: "Where are you?"

"Leaving the villa, there is a white van on the street on the right."

"You don't ask me what I want to do?"

"You don't need to ask, Kate baby, you know I can always see the direction behind things." Ian laughed softly.

Kate: "..."

Ten minutes later, Kate walked out of the villa.

She saw the white van approaching and was about to knock on the door, but Ian had already opened it.

He looked at Kate with a smile: "Come in."

Kate was speechless: "Don't tell me you heard my footsteps."

"Reporter's intuition." Ian asked her to get in the car and closed the door again.

There were surveillance cameras all over the car. Kate sat down beside them and saw Lilimarta acting wildly in the surveillance footage.

Kate was speechless, and then she saw Ian took a bottle of wine from the side, poured a glass and handed it to her.

Kate took it.

She looked at the wine in the glass, the bright red wine looked like flowing blood.

Pursing her lower lip, she asked softly, "Is news so important to you? So important that you can hurt others without restraint?"

"Hurting others?" Ian laughed. "No, just reporting the facts. If what they did was visible to others, why would they worry about being exposed?"

"Can you guarantee that everything you do will be seen?"

Ian shook his head quickly. "I can't, but I won't hate the person who discovered my secret. I will admire him for breaking through my defenses, and in the process of showing him respect, I will send him to see God."

Kate was even more speechless.

Why does what this guy says always seem so reasonable yet irrational?
The man in front of her made her confused and unable to understand. It was like looking at a monster, mysterious and powerful, domineering and calm.

In the surveillance footage, the guests in the room were still laughing loudly.

They drank wine and had fun, completely unaware of what would happen next.

Kate hugged her calves and placed her head on her knees.

She had begun to imagine what would happen after the report came out, and Lilimarta's furious expression.

She murmured, "But in the end, you are building your own profits on the suffering of others."

"Hasn't America always been like this?" Ian sneered.

Although the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq had not yet broken out, Americans had done a lot of bad things before, otherwise how could 911/ have happened?

Wait…911?

Ian's heart trembled.

It is still 00, not 01 yet. In this different time and space, will those things still happen?
The disparity in time and space meant that Ian didn't expect to have any advantages in his rebirth, but since most of what he knew currently existed, many things might not necessarily not happen...

Thoughts kept turning in his mind, and Ian looked at the screen quietly without saying anything else.

Kate didn't know that Ian had thought so much about a single sentence, so she said, "I'm not capable of thinking about national affairs, but I at least know that breaking into a private house is illegal."

Breaking the law?

Ian sneered.

Leaning against the wall of the carriage, Ian thought seriously.

After a while, he continued, "Two people partnered up for a smuggling business. One invested 80% and the other 20%. After the business was completed, the majority shareholder only gave the minority shareholder one-tenth of the profits. This made the minority shareholder very dissatisfied. He said, "I invested one-fifth of the money, why only got one-tenth?" The majority shareholder said, "Because I also gave away one million to open up the relationship, you can only get one-tenth." Now, do you think the majority shareholder is right?"

Kate was confused for a moment.

After a while, she replied, "That's not reasonable. Even if that were the case, the one million should be deducted and then distributed in equal proportions. What's wrong?"

Ian smiled.

His eyes sparkled with excitement. "I like your answer. Do you know why?"

He looked at Kate Beckinsale and said slowly: "Because you didn't notice that this is an illegal business!"

Kate was stunned. Ian was already holding his forehead and chuckling: "You are not as righteous as you think, Miss Beckinsale."

Kate: "..."

In the editing car.

Ian looked at Kate with a faint sneer on his face.

The light fell on his face, outlining the arrogance and confidence of a confident teenager.

Faced with this confident face, Kate also became a little angry: "You are a cunning bastard, Ian Karl, you are the most disgusting person I have ever met!"

Ian's expression finally grew serious. "I can understand that you don't like what I did, but you can't deny the fact that I saved you and helped you! Just because you don't like what I did, you haven't even truly thanked me!"

Kate was stunned again.

Yes!

No matter how outrageous or excessive his actions were, he was the one who saved himself after all!
If he is not a good person, then what am I?
Damn, what was I thinking?
I'm in Hollywood. Are there any good people in this circle?

Who doesn’t strive to climb up for opportunities?

Why do I have to have such high expectations of him?

Just because he used me, I hate him in the name of justice?

At that moment, she looked at Ian and finally lowered her head and said, "Thank you... I'm sorry!"

Ian chuckled. "You're welcome. Oh, there's something I didn't tell you. I was actually caught because I was following you."

"What did you say?" Kate was stunned.

Ian laughed and said, "I was desperate. I saw you entering a man's house and I thought it would be good news. So I followed you, but I didn't expect there was a woman in the house. So I thought maybe the three of you would get together, but that didn't happen, which disappointed me for a while until Charlie Mills showed up."

Kate looked at him in astonishment: "Are you disappointed that I'm not promiscuous?"

Ian laughed: "We weren't familiar with each other then."

Kate: "..."

After a while, she asked, "Why are you telling me this now?"

"Just telling you that you don't have to feel guilty. You don't owe me anything!"

"Oh, but at least I became famous because of you, twice. Now I don't have to worry about film contracts." Kate murmured.

Ian raised his eyebrows. "Wow, are you looking for a reason to thank me?"

Women, what fun.

When you want her to thank you, she doesn't thank you; when you don't need her to, she finds reasons to thank you.

Kate also chuckled: "At least that's the truth."

The two looked at each other, and the previous estrangement disappeared at this moment.

At this moment, an erotic scene appeared on the screen.

"Oh my God!" Kate covered her eyes. "Lilimarta, how could she do this."

Ian watched the footage on the monitor with a grin, muttering, "They're having a really exciting time. Don't act like a newbie, Kate."

Kate put her hands down angrily: "At least I'm not a bitch!"

Her eyes fell on the screen again, and her ears flushed and her heart began to beat fast. This time she didn't cover her face, but just kept watching.

Ian looked at her with a smile.

A blush appeared on her face.

Watching porn together is a good way to pick up girls and have sex with them, but no one expected that there would be such a format as live broadcast.

Seeing her legs clamped together involuntarily, Ian's hand naturally reached over.

He held her waist from behind.

Kate's body trembled slightly. She looked at Ian's handsome face, as if it was imprinted in her heart.

She murmured, "No! Ian Karl! Don't even think about it!"
