America achieves both fame and fortune

Chapter 550 The Choice Between Long and Short

In the moving car, Charlize Theron hung up the phone with Martin and then called a female administrator she knew from the community council. Her already aloof appearance became even more icy and stunning.

It resembles an iceberg facing South Africa across the sea.

The car arrived near the community entrance, where at least several dozen paparazzi and entertainment reporters had gathered.

Many of them recognized Charlize's car, and some even saw Charlize through the windshield, causing a traffic jam on both sides of the road.

Regardless of the fact that Charlize hadn't opened the car window, these people asked questions almost frantically.

"Ms. Theron, were you aware that your fiancé has a child out of wedlock?"

"We specifically investigated. You weren't in Los Angeles during that time, but the condoms your fiancé used were found in your neighbor Martin's trash can. Was he cheating on you?"

Will you break up with Stuart Townsend, or will you swallow your anger like before?

This question seemed to strike at Charlize's weak spot; she instinctively released the accelerator and slammed on the brakes.

The car stopped, and the reporters swarmed around it even more frantically.

Charlize honked her car horn loudly, alerting the community security personnel, who quickly came out to disperse the reporters and allow the residents' cars to drive in.

The reporters looked at these lackeys of the wealthy with a burning hatred that made their teeth ache. What great news material! It was a pity they couldn't get a shot!

When Charlize got home, she saw Stewart sitting in the doorway, lost in thought.

He muttered to himself, "Impossible, impossible..."

Charlize forced herself to remain calm and said, "Let's break up. I'll give you two days to move out."

Stuart looked up and said, "You're breaking up with me because that woman talked nonsense?"

Charlize said, "You know better than I whether any other women came here around the time of the Oscars."

Stewart was a little panicked. He hadn't had a high income in a long time. Back when Peter Jackson kicked him out of the Lord of the Rings cast and replaced him with Viggo Mortensen to play Aragorn, he had been on a bad streak ever since, and no matter what movie or role he played, he had never had a successful one.

Fortunately, he has an Oscar-winning actress girlfriend.

Charlize Theron's acting fees alone don't reach the level of a top-tier actress, but she's a darling of GG Entertainment, earning extremely high sponsorship income.

After years of living a life of luxury, would it be a death sentence for Stewart to go back to the life of an ordinary actor?

Charlize said softly, "We parted amicably, and we're both responsible for how things turned out."

Stuart stood up abruptly: "Fine, even if what that woman said is true, and she found my used condom in Martin's trash can, I didn't use it with a woman. Can't I use it while masturbating?!"

Charlize just stared at him coldly.

Stuart looked slightly guilty, but dared not show it, and straightened his neck, saying, "I've been with you for so many years, wasted so much of my youth, and you just want to break up like that?"

Charlize suppressed her anger and said, "I'll give you some compensation, provided you haven't cheated on me. It's easy to verify; just get a paternity test done with that woman's child."

Stuart didn't dare go. In the live broadcast just now, that woman named Elsa said that the incident happened on Oscar night.

On Oscar night, he did indeed throw the condom he had just used into the trash can next door.

Thinking of the trash can next door, Stewart then thought of Martin and roared, "You cheated on me first! You and Martin Davis next door have been hooking up and sleeping in the same bed for ages, haven't you? You cheated first, you have to make it up to me!"

Charlize was furious. She glanced at the neighbor next door. She and Martin were just friends and had no other relationship, yet she had been repeatedly slandered.

At this moment, the hysterical Stewart and the calm and collected Martin from the previous live broadcast formed a stark contrast in Charlize's eyes.

The former vividly portrays the ugly side of a man.

The latter showed her just how outstanding a man could be.

Listening to Stuart's constant slander, Charlize felt an urge to immediately go to Martin to clear her name and clear her name of any wrongdoing.

As for how to clean it, it's too simple.

Charlize suppressed her impulse, not wanting to argue any further: "I'll give you two days to move out, otherwise wait for my lawyer's letter. If you want compensation, go get a paternity test done with that woman. If it's not her, I'll naturally give you some compensation."

Stuart wanted to say more, but Charlize ignored him and drove away.

…………

Not far from here, in another mansion, Matt Damon hurriedly entered the living room.

Harvey, having just ended the live stream, asked, "What happened?"

Matt Damon glanced at Georgina but didn't say anything.

Georgina said, "I'm going out for a walk, you guys chat."

When she went out, she made a point of bringing her phone, planning to call Martin when she was a little further away to express her support and comfort, and to see when he would have time to test her again.

In the living room, Matt Damon said, "Something's happened."

"I saw it." Harvey pointed to the projection screen that was being retracted and said, "The whole country saw this farce. Ben and Pete are such a disappointment. This is just helping Martin Davis gain fame."

Matt Damon leaned closer and said, "That's not all. The lawyer who accompanied Toni to the paternity test later received a call from the LAPD, and Ben, Casey, and Pete were formally arrested."

Harvey was quite surprised: "What?" He pressed, "What exactly happened?"

"Toni was arrested by the LAPD on charges of extortion. She accused Ben, Casey, and Pete of instigating and directing her actions." Matt Damon quickly recounted what he knew: "She claimed that she was just an accomplice, and that the main perpetrators were Ben, Casey, and Pete. Subsequently, the Detective Department obtained emergency arrest warrants and arrested Ben, Casey, and Pete at a hotel."

After finding out the details, he rushed over: "The police department has solid evidence, and with Tony as a witness, Ben and Pete are in a very troublesome situation and cannot be released on bail for the time being."

Harvey, who had no direct contact with Toni and wasn't involved, frowned and said, "I asked them if they were sure, and they told me they were 100% sure. And what happened, hmm?"

Matt Damon never expected such a big turn of events. He wanted to take Martin down, but the three of them ended up getting themselves into trouble instead.

Harvey asked, "What do you want from me?"

Matt Damon stated directly, "Let's figure out a way to get them out of here first. It's a case involving a whopping $1000 million. If it's proven true, they'll definitely go to jail."

Harvey wanted to refuse, but as the real leader of the Foot Club, and facing Matt Damon, he couldn't refuse.

If you refuse outright, your supporters will fall apart.

He asked, "What did the lawyer say?"

Matt Damon said, "It's not easy. The lawyer's advice is for us to talk to the client and start from his side."

"Martin Davis?" Harvey pondered.

Given his relationship with Martin, it wouldn't be easy to arrange a meeting with him.

Harvey suddenly thought of someone: Georgina had been in contact with Martin because of her relationship with the fashion industry and Kate Winslet. Perhaps he could ask her to arrange a meeting with Martin.

Outside, Georgina was still on the phone with Martin.

Between being ugly and short, handsome and tall, this woman decisively chose the latter.

"Matt Damon just came over. They didn't want me to hear, but I can guess it's something wrong with Damon's brothers." Georgina told Martin everything about Harvey's situation without asking for a penny.

After listening to Martin's account, she added, "Based on what you've said and my understanding of Harvey, he won't give up on those three idiots so quickly. He'll definitely want to talk to you. Do you want to know the latest situation with Harvey? Haha... The last test was very interesting. I want you to test me alone once. Don't you think the real test was when Harvey was in Los Angeles?"

Georgina glanced at the main house, then thought of Martin on the other end of the phone, and felt an unusual thrill.

Just then, she saw Harvey come out of the door and wave in her direction.

Georgina didn't hang up the phone; instead, she chatted and laughed with Martin as she walked over.

Then Harvey's voice rang out: "What are you doing? I can't get through to you on the phone."

"Bye, honey." Georgina hung up the phone, put it away, and casually replied, "I was on the phone with a friend in the fashion industry."

The only requirement for joining the group of fashion supermodels is, of course, to be a member of the fashion industry.

Harvey walked over and said, "There's something I need your help with."

Georgina smiled and said, "What is it? Just tell me, and I'll do anything I can to help."

Harvey said, "I remember you've been in contact with Martin?"

Georgina licked her lips lightly and said, "Actually, we haven't met that many times. Kate introduced us, and we've had some in-depth conversations during our few meetings."

Harvey thought the words were a bit strange, but didn't think much of it.

After all, in Hollywood, Harvey is the only one who can sleep with other women; who else would dare to mess with his women?

Harvey added, "Help me arrange to meet Martin; I need to talk to him in person."

Georgina seemed completely unaware: "What happened?"

Harvey didn't want to answer at first; there were too many things about the Foot Clan that couldn't be brought to light, and he didn't want his wife to know either. But this time was different, so he could only say, "Benjamin, Casey, and Pete have been arrested by the LAPD in connection with a so-called extortion case. It's just a small matter, but Martin is taking it so seriously. I need to talk to him."

"I can call him," Georgina said, taking out her phone. "But we're just casual acquaintances."

She's far inferior to KK and the Old Fox, after all, she only had one chance: "I might not be able to get a date with him."

Matt Damon also came out of the main house. Harvey glanced back at him and said, "Call Martin and tell him I want to meet him as soon as possible."

Georgina pretended to search through her phone book, and after a while, she found the number, dialed it, and started talking to the person on the other end.

Not long after, she hung up the phone: "Martin agreed to meet at the Angels Club in Los Angeles."

Harvey turned to Damon: "You're coming with me."
