America achieves both fame and fortune

Chapter 743 Domestic Violence Scandal

In the spacious living room, Depp lay back on the sofa, several small transparent plastic bags were casually tossed at his feet, and some powder was scattered nearby.

Amber Heard brought over a bottle of very strong liquor and placed it in front of Depp. She even changed Depp's usual drinking glass to one two sizes larger.

Agent Wickham came in from outside, glanced at Amber, and said to Depp, "Johnny, there's a buyer for the yacht now who can pay cash immediately, but he's only willing to offer $1000 million at most."

Depp opened his eyes, slowly sat up, opened the bottle of wine, poured half a glass, drank a third of it in one gulp, and said, "How long until the deadline for paying off the first tax debt?"

He might be forgetful about other things, but the infamous IRS—Depp couldn't forget: "Would it be troublesome to go overdue again?"

"It's very troublesome; it will trigger new IRS penalties," Whigham said.

Depp downed the rest of his drink in one gulp and said, "Sell it."

Whigham nodded: "I'll go find an agent to handle the relevant procedures."

After his agent left, Depp poured himself another glass of wine and started drinking again.

"Honey, you've been under a lot of pressure lately," Amber said, sounding like a loving wife. "I've thought of a great way to help you de-stress."

Depp's initial infatuation with Amber Heard had long since faded, and he asked, "What method?"

Amber opened the cabinet next to her, pulled it towards Depp, and said, "Look what I've prepared."

The cabinet was filled with all sorts of props.

Then, Amber took off her coat, revealing a uniquely styled dress underneath.

After drinking, taking drugs, and being subjected to visual stimulation, Depp could no longer restrain himself and immediately transformed into a wolf.

Amber Heard spent a long time practicing role-playing with Musk, constantly provoking Depp with words, which led Depp to become increasingly violent.

Finally, it was all over, and Depp, his excitement worn off, lay on the sofa and fell fast asleep.

Amber quickly tidied up the scene, disposing of what needed to be disposed of, putting it into garbage bags and throwing it downstairs through the garbage chute.

Musk's men immediately packed it up and took it away.

As for the domestic violence weapon with Depp's fingerprints, Amber Heard kept them all.

Next, Amber went to the bedroom, looked in the full-length mirror, and took photos of her injuries from the "domestic violence," which she then stored in Apple's cloud storage, just as she had done before.

She would keep all the evidence of domestic violence, find suitable media outlets to release it, and make another profit.

Amber composed herself, found the garlic Depp had just used, squeezed out the juice, and applied it to her eyes. Tears welled up, and her eyelids began to swell and turn red, as if she had been crying for a long time.

She threw the garlic into the toilet and flushed it away. She then took out her phone and dialed 911. When the operator answered, she cried out, "Help! Help me! I'm being abused by Depp! Please, please come and save me!"

After calling the police, Amber locked herself in her bedroom and collapsed onto the floor.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door from LAPD. Amber shouted into the intercom, "Come help me! I'm in the bedroom! I'm in the bedroom! Come quick!"

She unlocked the door, and two police officers immediately entered the house.

Dealing with these celebrities could be very troublesome if not handled properly, so one of the officers immediately called for backup from his superiors.

Everything in the room was extremely disadvantageous to Depp. Amber was covered in wounds, all of which were fresh, including injuries from being hit with a stick, slaps, and being tied up.

Depp was not only drunk, but also clearly under the influence of drugs.

Amber Heard provided the police with the weapon Depp had used, claiming that she had been violently beaten and forced into sexual relations by Depp, and demanded that she undergo a medical examination as soon as possible.

Depp was completely dumbfounded, and even under the control of the LAPD, he still yelled, "Are you crazy? Are you fucking crazy? I'm your husband, you're my wife, why would I force you?"

Amber seemed severely frightened, hiding behind a policewoman, her whole body trembling with fear: "Don't hurt me, don't hurt me, don't hurt me..."

The policewoman quickly led Amber out of the room.

More LAPD officers arrived and, with the consent of the homeowner Amber Heard, searched the crime scene and nearby rooms. They then found a significant quantity of illegal drugs in a metal box labeled with Depp's name.

As per procedure, Depp and Amber Heard were taken downstairs separately to the police station.

…………

In a van parked in front of the building's main entrance, Bruce, in the driver's seat, picked up his phone, dialed Ivan's number, and said, "The person is coming down soon."

Ivan drove up quickly, parked the car, picked up the camera, and rushed towards the main entrance.

He chose a good spot, and just as he turned on the camera, two police officers escorted Depp downstairs.

Depp looked haggard, struggled incessantly, still under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and kept cursing under his breath.

Ivan raised his camera and filmed it all, right up until Depp was shoved into the police car by officers.

Soon, a female police officer accompanied Amber out of the building. The part of Amber's clothes that were exposed still showed very obvious injuries.

As Ivan took the photos, he called out, "Miss Hilde, what happened?"

Amber Heard's eyes were red and swollen, tears streaming down her face. She sobbed, "I...I was abused by Depp, he beat me like this!"

Ivan gave Amber a close-up shot, showing her getting into a police car and taking out her phone to make a call: "Jordy, breaking news, Depp is suspected of domestic violence against Amber Heard! I have video footage of the police taking Depp and Amber away separately, and Amber has obvious bruises on her body and face."

After a few words were exchanged, he replied, "I'll send the video over right now. Get the money ready!"

Ivan ran back to his car, but before the LAPD vehicles had even left, he had already disappeared.

Bruce put away his phone in the van.

"It's a pity we can't go into Depp's house," Nicholson said with regret. "We won't be able to see the most exciting part."

Martin watched the police cars drive away one after another and said, "It's okay, you'll soon see the most exciting gossip drama of the year on the media."

The previous life was already very exciting, and now with these three people pushing things along from behind, it will definitely be even more interesting.

Leonardo DiCaprio said, "Domestic violence alone isn't exciting enough."

Martin said, "Do you think Depp, given his daily needs, might have some stockpiled at home? And since Amber Heard is determined to completely break ties with Depp, could she take advantage of that?"

"Definitely." Leonardo suddenly felt that he and Martin were too smart and had done some things too correctly: "That's why you can't get married. There will be endless troubles after marriage. Johnny Depp is a typical example."

Nicholson, however, lamented, "What a waste of such a valuable mineral deposit as Depp."

Leonardo didn't understand at first.

Martin prompted, "Lorraine's long-term meal ticket."

Leonardo DiCaprio said, "Aren't you afraid Lorraine will be abused at home?"

Nicholson patted Martin on the shoulder: "My brother's the best fighter in all of Hollywood!"

Martin gestured for Bruce to drive, saying, "Let's see how things unfold."

"Depp's condition will likely cause 'The Lone Ranger' to drop further at the box office," Leonardo DiCaprio asked. "How has the film performed at the box office on weekdays?"

Bruce, who had been paying close attention, chimed in, "The market has seen gains of $198 million and $165 million in the last two days, and the market reaction has been worse than predicted by professional institutions."

Martin pointed to the departing police car and said, "It's only going to get worse."

Leonardo DiCaprio said, "Who would dare to cast Depp as the male lead in a medium to large-scale production in the future?"

The van hadn't gone far when Martin received a call from Musk.

"Dude, the best show just ended, did you see it?" Musk said with a laugh. "Don't tell me you guys didn't come out to watch the show."

Martin said, "How could we miss such a good show?"

Musk felt incredibly good about himself: "I'm the director of this whole show, and you spectators should thank me."

Martin paused for a moment, then said, "Director, please remember to inform the audience promptly if there are any updates."

Musk answered confidently and simply: "No problem!"

Martin hung up the phone and suddenly noticed that Leonardo and Nicholson were looking at each other strangely. He rubbed his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

Leonardo DiCaprio said, "Do you want to be a cheating jerk?"

Martin understood immediately upon hearing this, shuddered, and said, "You two, stop being so disgusting!"

…………

A dozen minutes later, a video of Johnny Depp allegedly abusing Amber Heard appeared on the TMZ homepage.

Although there is no actual video of domestic violence, the footage of the two being taken away by the LAPD is crystal clear.

Multiple media outlets immediately contacted the LAPD for verification. The LAPD provided feedback based on the current situation, stating that they did receive a call from Amber Heard regarding domestic violence by Johnny Depp. When officers arrived at the scene, Amber Heard had injuries and is currently undergoing a medical examination.

More and more media outlets began to follow up on this incident.

Johnny Depp is not yet dead; news and scandals about him still have enough appeal.

The situation was very unfavorable for Depp, as Amber Heard presented a series of evidence to the police.

The alleged "domestic violence" incidents have occurred on multiple occasions, including the day of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's wedding.

A series of selfies showing Amber Heard's injuries were also passed through her agent's hands and circulated to the media before being published to the public.

Public opinion can influence the judiciary, and even kill people.

Driven by malicious individuals, photos of Amber Heard allegedly suffering "domestic violence" quickly circulated in the media and on the internet, attracting widespread attention from the American public.

Before feminists could even get involved, public opinion was already overwhelmingly against Depp, because his public image had been so poor over the past year.

There was a chorus of voices online criticizing Depp.

"Why am I not surprised at all by Depp's domestic violence?"

"Drug addicts and alcoholics, it's normal for men like that to commit domestic violence."

"How badly did Depp beat that woman? How twisted must he be to lay a hand on such a beautiful woman?"
