America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM...

Chapter 273, Section 272: The pitiful girls were manipulated at will.

"You're so short, how dare you walk alongside Eric? He's 1.9 meters tall, are you two even 1.6 meters? Are you a couple or father and daughter? Don't you feel inferior? What will outsiders think? It's laughable!"

"How could an uneducated woman understand high society social occasions? People of status are concerned with appearances; it's not the same as the slutty parties you're into. Don't force yourself to be short, or you'll just embarrass yourself!"

"So what if I'm short? Eric likes petite women. He said it himself in bed. It's much more comfortable than skinny or muscular women. Just ask him if you don't believe me."

As they spoke, the five women all looked toward where Eric was sitting, only to find that he had vanished without a trace, having disappeared at some point.

But just because the person in question isn't there, does the feud stop?

No way!

Today is the day to determine who is superior and who is inferior, and to decide life and death!

Mary rolled her eyes and launched a sarcastic attack: "Some people think they know a thing or two about high society, but they're just bumpkins!"

"You don't think that high society banquets are all about looks, do you? To be respected, you need to have a career and be helpful to your husband's career."

"Heh. Ashley, what's DoubleStar Entertainment's current valuation again?"

"$28 million!"

Ashley readily made up a number, regardless of its validity, just to scare the bitch on the other side.

"How much? I didn't hear you clearly, speak louder." Mary put her hand next to her ear in a very sassy manner.

"Last month's latest valuation was $28 billion. Just a reminder, it's not publicly listed."

"Haha, $28 billion! I wonder if some people combined could even have $2.8 million. Go back and check your bank accounts, take a piss and look in the mirror before you talk!"

The three women were taken aback; they knew they couldn't compete with the two little bitches across the street in terms of assets.

Excluding the shares Eric gave them, they didn't actually have $2.8 million, at least not personally.

If the three of them pool their money, they might barely make it to the end, but who the hell wants to pool their money with two other bastards!

No, we are at a significant disadvantage in terms of assets; we must open up a second front.

"Hmph! Women who flaunt their money are the most vulgar. I can smell the stench of money from this far away." Nicole fanned herself, a look of disgust on her face.

"Simple young girls always think that money represents everything, but can money buy love? They will never understand what emotional value is. I'm afraid their only purpose in wanting to marry into this family is to make a quick buck!" Theron added with a cold sarcasm.

"Moreover, some people have no moral bottom line. Two women serving one husband is already shocking, but twins crawling on the bed with their butts sticking out—are we really living in today's society?"

"Once it gets exposed, you'll ruin Eric's career," Gadot said, directly citing the lesson she learned from the incident.

But the Olsen sisters weren't going to back down. They figured that since things had come to this, whoever cared about their reputation would suffer.

"We're willing! Ashley and I can take turns marrying Eric, and we'll both have his kids. No amount of talk can hide your jealousy, hahaha!"

"Exactly, what's wrong with the two sisters? They're much better than divorced women. I heard they even have children with their ex-husbands. Why are they so eager to seduce young women? I think they're just trying to earn their children's inheritance."

Ashley, speaking in a high-pitched voice as if making a phone call, said, "Hey? Is that Tom Cruise? Let's take the kids on a picnic this weekend."

Mary immediately chimed in, "Nicole, the children miss you terribly. Why don't we remarry? You'll always have a place in my heart."

"Okay, but give me some more time. Once I get Eric Cooper's money, I'll come find you and the kids."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

After saying that, the two of them laughed together in a teasy manner, just like little witches in an animated film.

"You, you all!"

This affected and overly pretentious performance finally pushed Nicole to her breaking point, and she broke down completely.

Everyone knows about her marital problems with Tom Cruise; they successfully divorced each other after leaving the courthouse.

Finally free, she was so excited that she let loose on the highway, dancing and gesturing wildly, almost bursting into a dance on the spot.

Then the paparazzi captured this scene, which made it onto the covers of major magazines and entertainment newspapers that year.

Exhausted by her failed marriage and lawsuit, coupled with the court appearances, she was in a poor state and displayed an unseemly demeanor, which became a dark chapter in Nicole's life.

At that time, many people were surprised that Nicole Kidman was so ugly, no wonder Tom Cruise divorced her.

Look how happy Nicole Kidman is; she must have abandoned her marriage and children.

In short, such words hurt her for a long time until she showed a stunning look and acting skills in "Moulin Rouge!" and won an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, finally proving herself.

She is clearly the victim, but it seems like she is the villain. Now, the Olsen sisters are openly criticizing and mocking her, which is unbearable for anyone.

Even Theron and Gadot, who were standing nearby, thought it was too harsh. Using the child to attack the mother was like a kidnapping, which was a bit too much.

However, the slight reluctance in my heart had just begun to sprout when it was immediately nipped in the bud by the pleasure.

"You old bitch and you little slut, hurry up and fight!" they both roared in their hearts.

"what!"

Sure enough, the Olsen sisters' arrogance and lack of restraint were too much for Nicole to bear. She screamed and rushed at them, grabbing Mary, who was jumping the wildest and most enthusiastically.

"what!"

Feeling a sharp pain on her skin, Mary screamed, and the two immediately began to fight.

Neeko unleashed a deadly hair-severing move, a powerful technique that involves gripping the opponent's hair tightly to restrict their movement.

It is especially effective against women with long hair, but its disadvantage is also obvious: it is easy for an opponent to grab your hair at the same time to counterattack.

Both of them happened to have long hair, and they had just had their hair styled beautifully when they arrived, but in the blink of an eye, they were in complete disarray.

Seeing this, Ashley quickly stepped forward to help her sister, using another powerful female fighting technique, the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

This move is a highly threatening physical destruction technique used to launch gruesome attacks on women's skin, especially their faces. It has a high hit rate and is extremely fast.

However, it also has a drawback: the user is easily controlled by the opponent's counter-attack hair-cutting technique.

As the nation's daughters, the two 17-year-old girls have been pampered since their debut, and they are naturally better at talking and surfing the internet.

However, when it comes to physical combat skills, Nicole, with her extensive experience in public feuds, has the upper hand.

She grabbed Mary's hair with one hand and Ashley's hair with the other, and held her own against two opponents, demonstrating her formidable fighting prowess.

The three men screamed as they fought each other, creating an extremely bloody and brutal scene.

Gal Gadot and Charlize Theron watched with great interest, their hearts pounding with joy. If it weren't for their acting skills, they definitely would have burst out clapping and laughing.

However, their detached, spectator attitude naturally displeased the bickering group, especially the cunning Nico.

With such a commotion, Charlotte Cooper and Emily will probably be here soon. If they see me in such a wretched state, my night is over.

But it's impossible to get the Olsen sisters to give up, and she herself is unwilling to accept it.

Then there's only one way: drag those two bitches who were just watching the show down with you. If we're going to go down together, we'll all go down together. No one will have an easy time. At least that way, we'll all be on the same starting line again.

Thinking of this, she suddenly pulled back forcefully, causing Ashley and Mary to scream in pain and have no choice but to lower their heads and follow Nico's footsteps.

Charlize was secretly pleased with himself when he was suddenly knocked down onto the sofa by the fighting group, and then felt a sharp pain in his skin and hair.

As for who was attacking him, it was impossible to tell in the blink of an eye. Besides, he had been insulted quite a few times just now, so he immediately joined the fray in a fit of rage.

Theron has a slender, tall, and thin build, which means he is unlikely to be very strong.

While fighting and pinching flesh aren't her forte, she does have her own specialty: violent biting.

Its power is even more terrifying than the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. It is a skill that completely destroys the human body, causing damage while also having a one in a thousand chance of poisoning the opponent.

However, there is a 2% chance of a backlash, such as missing the first bite but being bitten back on the second.

Seeing the four of them already fighting, Gadot realized something was wrong and quickly retreated, turning around to go to the kitchen to call for help.

When Eric's parents saw this scene, they knew he was the only good candidate for daughter-in-law, and his official girlfriend was secured.

"Don't let her get away!"

However, no one could understand what she was thinking. Just then, the four women shouted at the same time and tackled her to the ground.

Although Gadot had always worked out and was the strongest in terms of physical fitness among the five women, as the saying goes, even a tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves. She couldn't hold out against the siege and was instantly overwhelmed.

"You want to be a good daughter-in-law, huh? Dream on!"

"You bunch of sons of bitches!"

"You bitch!"

"Bitch!"

"what!"

"You forced me to do this!"

Then, Gadot let out a furious roar and finally used the ultimate fighting technique of women: the magical striptease.

This move is hailed as an invincible killing move. The terrifying aspect of this skill is that it subdues the enemy without fighting, destroying their morale and inflicting both economic and psychological damage. If successful, it can almost completely defeat the opponent.

Rumble.

砰崩

The battle in the living room was like a thunderbolt striking the earth, a fierce fight that plunged the world into darkness and eclipsed the sun and moon!

At the same time, turning our attention to the kitchen, the Cooper family continued cooking calmly, with no one showing any intention of interfering in this epic battle.

Can't you hear what's going on outside?

Of course you can hear it, but pretend you can't!

"They've finally started fighting." Eric breathed a sigh of relief.

Dad was still a little worried: "What if something serious happens? What if someone gets seriously injured or disabled? Maybe we should go out and check it out."

While stewing the food, Mom glared at him and said, "Do you think I know more than you? Don't interfere!"

"Didn't I tell you? The key to dealing with those five is to break their spirit, make them attack each other, and make them dislike one another. That's how Eric can keep them in check!"

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say, but I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong!"

The nanny, Lisa, secretly watched Emily Cooper's retreating figure, and sighed inwardly, realizing that the most ruthless and scheming person in the Cooper family was actually the seemingly kindest mother.

She had been fantasizing about whether she could seduce Eric and make things work out, but now it seemed best to give up on that idea as soon as possible.

Even female celebrities are beneath them, let alone a poor girl like herself with no background. They would even look down on her as a mistress.

That's right, everything was a strategy that Eric's mother devised from the very beginning.

Modern times are not like ancient times; the difficulty of enjoying polygamy and having multiple wives is self-evident.

The difficulty increases even more when your partner is a group of beautiful, rich, and famous female celebrities.

To win them over, simply trying to please them isn't enough; the core conflict must be shifted to vying for Eric's favor.

The first step is to sow discord among the women, preventing them from uniting to pressure Eric, and instead encouraging them to fight each other.

If done well, this step can effectively arouse women's competitive spirit and ensure that none of them will easily give up.

So Eric spent the last few days coaxing and cajoling, finally managing to get the five women together.

Gathering them together is not enough; they also need to be lured into making a fuss and fighting, so Eric has to pretend to be an innocent little bird.

As long as he keeps quiet and doesn't say anything, the fire won't be directed at him. He can seize the opportunity to stir up trouble and then retreat.

Once the first step is completed, you can sit back and watch the fight unfold, causing as much trouble as you like, as long as no one gets killed.

Once they've finished fighting, Eric and his mother can step in and clean up the mess.

What he had to do was maintain equality among the five women, calling one "darling" and the other "baby," playing his role as the "good cop."

The mother, on the other hand, was responsible for playing the "bad cop," having to use her authority to intimidate the five women, ensuring they wouldn't dare to misbehave.

Then comes the most crucial step: setting goals to guide the competition.

Note that this is about guiding, not provoking.

The key to guiding the competition lies in ensuring that it is conducted within certain rules, which are naturally set by Mom and Eric.

Finally, they would give a stick and then a sweet treat, offering some benefits to appease their emotions.

If executed well, this series of maneuvers is equivalent to a form of subtle manipulation, successfully transforming the five women from collectively resenting Eric to collectively trying to please him.

When Eric heard his mother's plan, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

No wonder my mom became a top female sea monster back then. How could she stand out from such a scumbag woman without any tricks up her sleeve?

Amazing! Absolutely amazing!

Mom took a spoon out of the pot, smelled it, and nodded: "Not bad, you did a great job today, dinner is ready."

Eric listened intently and sensed that there was no more noise outside.

"It seems they've made enough of a fuss, so this dish can be prepared for consumption."

Mom took off her apron: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go out and take a look."
