America achieves both fame and fortune

Chapter 565 The Ultimate Freeloader

Eight o'clock in the morning, in the Charlize family's dining room.

Martin sat at the table, enjoying the breakfast that Charlize had prepared.

Charlize, while reading a Los Angeles Times article, swallowed her food and said, "There are hundreds of victims who have filed reports."

Martin said, "Hollywood will likely change because of this."

Charlize wondered, "I wonder who was behind all this. All the actors in Hollywood, and even people in other professions, should thank him."

Martin asked, "What do you mean?"

"While this incident cannot fundamentally change the industry's atmosphere, it will at least improve the industry's ecosystem a little." Charlize, a star who rose from the bottom, feels this deeply: "If it's even slightly better, there's a chance that fewer people will be harmed."

Martin nodded slightly: "You make a good point."

Charlize glanced at her watch: "You have time this morning, right?"

"If you ask, I'll definitely have time." Martin put down his knife and fork, picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, and said, "Sally, have you arranged any special activities?"

Charlize stood up and said, "Come with me to see something."

The two quickly left Beverly Hills and drove to the vicinity of the Los Angeles Forensic Center.

A group of media reporters gathered at the entrance of the appraisal center. There weren't many people, but most of them were entertainment reporters.

Charlize didn't want to be seen, so she parked the car a long distance away.

Martin, who had been here recently and was familiar with the place, said, "Toni Fairman and Stuart Townsend are going to have a paternity test?"

Charlize asked, "Haven't you been paying attention lately?"

Martin had been focusing all his energy on the Harvey case lately, paying little attention to anything else: "I thought it was already resolved."

Charlize looked over through the windshield and said, "If the child isn't Stewart's, I'll give him some compensation as a breakup fee."

Martin gently patted her hand.

Charlize took out her phone, dialed a number, and asked, "Silver, has the testing started?"

The reply was, "The results will be available soon."

Charlize said, "Remember to let me know when the results come out."

This was the last bit of connection she had with Stuart Townsend.

Having escaped the "Stuart" trap, Charlize has decided to enjoy life to the fullest and embrace the glitz and glamour of Hollywood stardom.

Inside the testing center.

When Stuart saw the report, he was completely stunned, even though he was mentally prepared.

DNA match is extremely high, up to 99.9999%!

Stuart put down the report in his hand and looked to the other side.

Toni Fairman was holding her child and had just seen the paternity test results.

She walked towards Stuart step by step, wishing she could hold up the child in her arms and show it to him.

Stuart was dumbfounded. He had suddenly found himself with a son? And in such a bizarre way!

From a medical and biological perspective, this son is indeed his.

Stewart was in a dilemma: should he admit it or not?

Tony came over then and said, "Look, this is your son, our child!"

Stuart's face was unusually grim.

Toni added, "We are the child's parents, we belong to the family, Stuart, take us home!"

In her eyes, the other party was a Hollywood star, and although he couldn't compare to Martin Davis, he was still a rich man.

Stuart snapped out of his daze and asked, "Home? Home where?"

"Go back to your home!" Toni said matter-of-factly, "Go back to our home!"

"I don't have a home," Stewart said. "I'm currently staying at the Hilton Hotel..."

Toni asked in surprise, "Don't you live in Beverly Hills? If we don't have a mansion in Beverly Hills, a detached house in Sherman Oaks will do. My son and I aren't asking for much; we can accept any of those."

Stuart also wants this kind of life, but the problem is that it doesn't exist!

"The Beverly Hills mansion belongs to my ex-fiancée and has nothing to do with me." Stuart had nothing to hide, and stating it directly would prevent further harassment: "I personally don't have many assets; I usually use my ex-fiancée's supplementary credit card..."

Tony's eyes widened in disbelief. She said, "It's okay. You're famous, you can work. My son and I will fully support you."

Upon hearing this, Stuart suddenly had an idea that he thought was particularly reliable, and said, "It's not that I can't take you back, but you have to go out and earn money."

Why is Toni working so hard? Isn't it all for a long-term job filled with dollars? She asked, "Why should I be the one earning the money?"

Stuart replied matter-of-factly, "You'll earn money to support me! Let me think... This whole thing caused quite a stir. You could publish a book, get it in the newspapers—you could make a lot of money that way..."

Toni hugged her child and backed away step by step. Why did her son have such an awful father?

Stuart added, "I can help you take care of the children while you go to work."

Toni didn't dare; she was worried that the gigolo across from her would sell his son for money.

"That's it then," Toni said, abandoning that plan. "I will continue with the lawsuit, and you must pay child support!"

Stewart, who had no money, said bluntly, "I advise you not to waste your time. I'm a penniless wretch and can't afford child support. You're just wasting your lawyer's fees."

Toni couldn't just give up like that.

The lawyers who wanted judicial precedents wouldn't let her give up either.

Outside the testing center, Charlize received a call from Silver, informing her of the paternity test results.

Seeing that she had hung up the phone, Martin asked, "Is there a result?"

"It's his, that's right." Charlize laughed heartily, completely free from the gigolo at this moment, and said, "I can save a lot of money. I'll treat you to lunch, Martin, and I'll treat you to a big meal."

Martin replied, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Charlize stretched out her long legs: "Come on, let's find a place to celebrate properly."

Martin is also meeting with Léa Seydoux in the afternoon, but he can't back down now; he has to cheer for Charlize.

Clap your hands loudly, and add oil until it overflows.

Rome, Italy, Leonardo da Vinci International Airport.

Lily and Elizabeth Olsen went into the VIP room and sat in two adjacent seats.

They were preparing to return to Los Angeles.

Lily flipped through an English newspaper, which featured a story about Harvey Weinstein.

The U.S. Department of Justice stated that it will continue to monitor the progress of the Harvey Weinstein case, and both the LAPD and NYPD have indicated that they will actively communicate regarding the case.

Elizabeth, intrigued, asked in a low voice, "Did Martin make this?"

Lily knew Martin better than she did: "It's definitely him. Look, this billionaire who's speaking out is named Mel, and if nothing else, he's Louise Mel's father. And then there are the two opinion leaders leading the #MeToo movement. Why are they so active?"

She remained unfazed: "I've known this Erica since Atlanta. She has a close relationship with Kelly Gray. The pink water bottle Martin made allowed Erica to make a lot of money back then. Not to mention Harvey being detained by the LAPD. Martin is an honorary citizen of Los Angeles, and his relationship with McLean has become increasingly close over the years. Many people consider McLean to be the next director of the LAPD."

Elizabeth ignored those names, acting like a clueless naive girl: "According to you, the hand hidden at the very back is indeed Martin, but I rarely see this side of Martin."

In front of the naive and innocent girl, Lily is like a carefree and silly older sister: "Because Martin gave you all his sunny and kindest side."

Elizabeth smiled sweetly: "It seems that's true."

She reached out and shook Lily's hand: "Martin is protecting us in this way, providing us with a peaceful haven."

Lily thought about her own development over the past few years, which couldn't have been smoother, and said, "That's right, without what he did, I wouldn't be where I am now."

He might still be a penniless pauper from the slums.

Lily had seen many beautiful girls in the slums end up in different fates, and she couldn't bear to imagine it.

Elizabeth still had a sweet smile on her face, chatting casually with Lily.

Over the past year, she has not only managed Martin's household affairs perfectly, but also recently, during her time in Italy, she has taken the time to find out a lot about Martin's past from Lily, especially about his ex-girlfriends.

Elizabeth noticed some commonalities and summarized a few points, such as Martin being different from Leonardo DiCaprio in that he rarely initiated breakups with his female partners, and of course, he wouldn't make any promises to them...

She had also heard Lily mention the three no's principle that Martin had promoted in Atlanta.

Based on these findings, Elizabeth was confident that as long as she didn't cry, make a scene, or initiate a breakup, Martin would definitely not leave on his own initiative.

She is still young and has plenty of time.

Those people outside who are dancing wildly, those who are particularly mischievous, and those who are older—she doesn't need to do anything; time will solve everything.

Elizabeth also had her own three no's principles.

Moreover, she also won over a powerful ally, Lily.

The flight announcement sounded, and Elizabeth pulled Lily up, saying, "We're boarding. We're going back to Los Angeles. We have a lot to do when we get back."

Lily said, "It's awards season and New Year's again, I bet Martin's going to throw a lot of parties."

Elizabeth pointed to her bag: "I talked to Martin yesterday, and I've made a list. We'll discuss it together when we get on the plane, since it's your home after all."

Lily smiled and said, "I've never organized a party before, so I can learn from you."

The two boarded the plane together and entered the first-class cabin. With a long journey ahead, discussing these matters would be a good way to pass the time.

After reviewing Elizabeth's preliminary list, Lily posted something that piqued her interest: "Brad Pitt and the Affleck brothers are about to go to trial? That Casey tricked me before, I definitely have to go see it in person."

Elizabeth said, "This case involves Martin, and Martin means we should all go together."

Thanks to the group members for providing inspiration for Harvey's remarks in the previous chapters and the latter half of this chapter. Real life is truly the source of creative inspiration.
