America achieves both fame and fortune

Chapter 250 Under the Spotlight

After a layover in Atlanta, Julie's flight headed west, gradually arriving in eastern California.

The flight attendant then came over: "Madam, here's your newspaper."

"Thank you." Julie nodded slightly and took the thick stack of American newspapers.

The flight attendant was slightly excited: "You are a role model for women."

Julie flashed a friendly and approachable smile.

From June to now, over three months, she has traveled to many countries in the Middle East and Africa, frequently giving public speeches and advocating for the United Nations and freedom and democracy. She has also adopted a third child, finally winning the approval of the American public and media.

After the flight attendant left, Julie's smile faded, and her thoughts suddenly turned to her teacher.

From the failure of "Alexander the Great" last year to now, she has experienced the ups and downs of her life, and Martin is the key to her resurgence.

Following Martin's methods, Julie put them into practice with her own understanding, shaping herself into a role model for America.

She has already completed the initial transformation from a harlot to the Virgin Mary.

Thinking about this, Julie felt that as a student, she should pay her teacher more tuition.

But after going in and out of Atlanta for the shoot, Julie keenly sensed that Louise and Martin were definitely not in a stable romantic relationship.

Martin also refused to call Louise or Kelly Gray at that time.

Julie was gradually losing feeling.

Students and teachers alone cannot support Julie's insatiable desires as she evolves into a saint.

Julie was flipping through the newspaper when she suddenly slowed down.

She saw a gossip article with a picture of Martin kissing Blake Lively.

"Martin and Blake grew together, becoming better people together!"

Upon seeing the two officially dating, Julie became instantly excited, so much so that she didn't even hear her son calling for his mother.

Her son reached out to pull her, and Julie gave the nanny a look, who quickly coaxed the child back to his mother.

At that moment, she couldn't care about anything else.

Julie excitedly looked down.

The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly features an interview with Martin and Black.

Blake said that before they started dating, Martin was her idol, her hero, and her best friend. Every day she spent with Martin felt like the first time they met.

Martin said Blake was her best companion and that she could make everything better.

Julie closed the newspaper, looked out the plane window, and still couldn't see any buildings in Los Angeles. She was getting a little impatient.

At that moment, she wished she could find a gun and force the captain to speed up and get to Los Angeles as soon as possible.

Martin's attraction to Julie has reached its peak once again.

Julie thought of the bachelor Pete again and shook her head.

Nearly an hour later, the flight landed smoothly at Los Angeles International Airport.

Julie had already contacted the media, and when she and her family came out of the exit, a large number of reporters, including those from the Los Angeles Times and People magazine, surrounded her.

After more than three months of studying Mary Sue and cultivating a sophisticated image, Julie's sophistication has improved considerably.

The prodigal daughter's transformation into a saintly figure even garnered widespread support from the American public.

A large number of reporters blocked Julie at the terminal exit.

Airport security personnel came to maintain order, and Jolie also gave an interview.

After asking some questions about freedom, democracy, and children, Damian, the People magazine reporter who had arranged to meet Jolie, loudly asked, "Why didn't I see Brad Pitt pick you up at the airport? He didn't accompany you to the Middle East and Africa either. Is there something wrong between you two?"

Jolie stated seriously, "I have decided to let go of this relationship and be friends with Pitt again. Pitt is a good person who loves children and family, and we both invested a lot in this relationship."

For example, she would sometimes call Pete when doing business with Martin: "But this trip to the Middle East and Africa made me realize one thing: there are many things in this world that are more important than love."

Julie reached out and took the third child she had just adopted from the nanny: "Like children, like peace, democracy, and freedom! From now on, I will dedicate my limited energy to charity and advocating for the survival and human rights of refugees around the world!"

She cried out, "No one is born a refugee!"

The area suddenly fell silent. Damian was the first to applaud, and the surrounding reporters followed suit, applauding Julie in support.

"Thank you." Julie, with her three children, got into the van that the film crew had come to pick her up from the airport.

The others got into the car behind.

As the car started, Julie turned to look at the reporters behind her. Her teacher, Martin, had shown her a bright future!

She took out her phone, found Martin's number, and dialed it: "I'm back."

Martin was a bit flustered: "Congratulations, you've completed your transformation."

Julie glanced at the three children, intending to hand them over to the nanny later, and said, "I want to come find you."

Martin said, "It's not convenient; I'm helping someone move."

Julie immediately guessed, "What? Blake Lively is going to move in with you?"

"At eighteen, she was old enough to leave home and become independent, but she had nowhere to go," Martin said. "I had no choice but to take her in."

Julie was buzzing with excitement: "You bought a new house? Is it big? I'll come over to see you. Get her out of the way... no, let her stay in the house. Find a way to keep her from bothering us. She can join us if she wants, let's do it together!"

Martin, an honest man, would never become an accomplice of Cao Cao: "Don't be ridiculous. I have a very good relationship with her and intend to be devoted to her."

These words further provoked Julie: "You and her are moving today, I won't bother you, just wait for me."

Burbank, Martin hung up the phone, placed the cell phone on the armrest of the Escalade, turned to look behind him, and could roughly judge that at least two cars and three motorcycles had followed them.

He asked, "Old Bu, have you notified everyone? Why are there so few paparazzi and entertainment reporters?"

Bruce drove into an affluent neighborhood and said, "Most people know that Blake is moving in with you. The most valuable photos are of her carrying her luggage as she walks into your house. They mostly wait over in the Coty neighborhood."

Martin's phone rang; it was a text message from Thomas about Julie. He quickly read it and said, "As soon as Julie gets back, she's going to steal the entertainment headlines. I'm the male lead in the wanted poster; I can't let her steal all the fun."

Bruce said, "If her character becomes popular, it will draw a lot of people to see the wanted poster."

Martin nodded. "This is good for us too."

Countless Hollywood examples have proven that, assuming a basic level of film quality is guaranteed, a surge in exposure for the male and female leads just before the film's release can effectively boost box office revenue.

Of course, those disgusting scandals are not included.

The Cadillac stopped in front of a detached villa. Martin got out and made a phone call. The villa gate opened, and Blake Lively, dragging a suitcase, came out with her brother Eric.

Each of them was dragging a large suitcase.

Martin quickly stepped forward, took the lever from Blake's hand, and deliberately used his body to block her face, seemingly not wanting anyone to take pictures of her.

But none of this could dampen the enthusiasm of the paparazzi and entertainment reporters; the more they tried to stop them, the more excited they became, frequently pressing the shutter button on their cameras.

Martin put the two suitcases and a backpack into the trunk of the Cadillac Escalade and said to Blake, "Get in."

Blake smiled at him and got into the back seat of the car.

Eric then blocked the car door.

Martin asked, "Is something the matter?"

Eric pointed at Martin: "Be nice to her, or I won't let you off the hook!"

Martin nodded: "I will."

Blake, however, was not buying his brother's argument and was quite displeased with his brother's threat to Martin, saying, "You should find a place to train properly first."

Eric opened the car door.

Martin got into the car and, before closing the door, invited, "Come visit me sometime."

Eric waved his hand, feeling dejected, and remained silent.

Caesar activated and returned to Sherman Oaks.

Compared to when they arrived, they were followed by even more reporters and paparazzi.

Blake looked back and said, "It's fun, I find it very interesting."

Some people experience so much pressure in the spotlight that they have emotional breakdowns.

Some people are just born to live in the spotlight.

Blake can be considered the latter.

As the car entered the Coty neighborhood and stopped in front of Martin's house, paparazzi appeared from all directions like secret agents, their cameras all pointed at the Escalade.

Bruce certainly wouldn't just drive the car into his house; wouldn't that disappoint his journalist friends?

He and Martin are very professional; while ensuring their own livelihoods, they also consider the livelihoods of those working in the same industry.

Bruce got out of the car first and opened a small door.

Martin and Blake got off from either side, each pulling a suitcase, and walked side by side toward the door.

Even from a distance, you can still hear the continuous sound of camera shutters clicking.

The suitcases seemed particularly heavy, and the two walked slowly, as if they were walking on a red carpet.

During this time, Martin stopped, took Blake's backpack, and slung it over his shoulder.

The paparazzi took another round of photos.

Many of them were so accommodating to Martin and Blake that they let them film them and gave them a thumbs up.

Putting everything else aside, the couple who rescued the damsel in distress have officially started living together, and the photos are definitely valuable.

After dawdling for a while, Martin finally led Blake into the house.

As the small iron gate closed, many reporters and paparazzi got into their vehicles and left.

Some were still unwilling to give up and continued to wait.

Fortunately, the houses in the Coty community are far apart, so it won't affect the neighbors too much for the time being.

Upon entering the living room, Blake saw Old Brooks had gone to the annex and asked, "Martin, I'm staying here, but I don't have the money to pay the rent. What should I do?"

Martin looked at Blake's fit physique and said, "You're a smart girl, I'm sure you'll find a way."

Blake smiled brightly: "Once a day, consider it my rent, okay?"

Martin, being such a kind person, couldn't bear to refuse, and replied, "Okay."

Blake blinked. "Let me pay today's rent first, otherwise I won't be able to concentrate on my work."
