American Gossip King

Chapter 109 Halle Berry (Part 1)

In the early morning, Ian woke up from a pair of arms lying across his face. He opened his eyes and saw Helen holding a cat toy and poking his face.

Ian laughed as he hugged Helen Berry and kissed her full breasts.

Helen giggled and dodged away: "No, Ian, you have to get up, and so do you guys, get up now."

Barbara opened her sleepy eyes, her round face beaming with an adorable expression: "I haven't had enough sleep yet. I was the last one yesterday."

Although she was the youngest of Amanda, Barbara was even more naive and simple-minded than Amanda in terms of temperament.

But Ian likes it.

"Then get dressed before you go to sleep; we have guests coming later," Helen replied.

Upon hearing this, the girls simultaneously came to their senses.

"Who?" asked freckled Clésie.

"My aunt."

"Halle Berry?" the girls exclaimed in unison.

Helen nodded confidently and proudly: "She came to thank Ian for saving us."

"Then what are we waiting for, girls, get up!" Jessica Alba jumped up excitedly, her beautiful figure reflecting an alluring glow in the sunlight.

Twenty minutes later.

Halle Berry appeared before Ian and his companions in the hotel room.

This sexy Black woman is 36 years old, but she is still graceful and exudes confidence.

Wearing a simple black low-cut top with a black diamond pendant hanging above her chest, and a white gauze tied around her waist adorned with small sequins, her long black wavy hair fell naturally over her shoulders, making this black beauty shine.

Sitting on the hotel sofa, she casually crossed one of her long legs and smiled at Ian, saying, "Thank you so much, Mr. Carl. Helen has told me the whole story. You rescued them and then gave the good reputation to that policeman. I'm really curious how you did it... They didn't tell me."

The girls said in unison, "It's not that we didn't want to tell you, it's just that we didn't know either, the lights were all off at the time."

Ian poured Halle Berry a glass of red wine himself: "Asking questions is what the media excels at; answering questions is what people like you are used to dealing with."

Halle Berry covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "Are you rejecting me?"

Ian Carl thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, I'm sorry, I have to refuse."

"Why?" Halle Berry looked at Ian with great interest.

Regardless, the fact that a young boss single-handedly rescued a group of poor, innocent girls from a gang of thugs is something worth writing about, especially since Ian is someone who dares to do anything for interviews.

But this time he gave the honor to someone else.

Ian replied, "Because that's not something a businessman should do. Businessmen risk their lives on the battlefield; even if he were Superman, he wouldn't be popular... Everyone has their place, and we should do our jobs well in our own places. There's no need for a businessman to steal the police's jobs."

Halle Berry tilted her head slightly. "Perfect answer. But it's different for actors. If an actor does this all by themselves, they'll be very popular. You know Harrison Ford, right?"

"Of course. He once saved an injured person during a trip to the mountains and became a hero."

Ian then smiled and said, "If there's an opportunity next time, I might consider asking you to be the hero."

Halle Berry burst out laughing: "You're an interesting person, but I don't have the guts. Uh..."

She paused for a moment, then took out her Chanel bag and a checkbook, saying, "I don't want you to misunderstand, Mr. Karl, but perhaps this is the only way I can express my gratitude. If anything happens to Helen, I really don't know how I'll explain it to my brother."

Helen cried out, "Auntie, how could you do this!"

Ian patted Helen's hand, signaling her to calm down.

Although Ian is the boss, when it comes to wealth, he may not be able to catch up with Halle Berry yet, after all, she is also a billionaire and has no debts.

Of course, this doesn't mean he would accept Halle Berry's money.

He looked at Halle Berry intently and said, "I think you've misunderstood, Mrs. Bennet."

Halle Berry's second husband was singer Eric Bennett, so Ian politely called her Mrs. Bennett.

At this moment, Ian said seriously, "I saved them simply out of basic human morality, not for any other reason. I don't need to make money this way."

"Is that so?" Halle Berry sighed softly.

She put the check back and said, "What if I told you I wanted to take Helen away?"

Helen exclaimed in surprise, "No, Auntie!"

Halle Berry looked at Helen and finally said, "Mr. Carl, I'd like to speak with Helen alone for a few minutes."

Ian nodded slightly: "No problem."

They left the room with the other girls and sat down in the lounge outside.

Jessica Alba said, "Ian, I feel like Mrs. Bennet doesn't seem to like you very much?"

Amanda, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement: "I felt that her eyes were full of vigilance."

Ian smiled: "It's alright."

The latest novel is first published here!

………………

Inside the room, Helen glared angrily at Halle Berry: "I don't understand, Auntie, why are you doing this? I thought you came here to thank Ian."

Halle Berry shook her head repeatedly: "You don't know anything. I'm doing this for your own good. You'd better stay away from this person; he's not the kind of person you think he is."

Helen exclaimed, "I know. I know he's connected to gangs, but so what? He's been so good to me!"

Halle Berry was stunned: "What did you say? He's involved with gangs? Oh my god, you absolutely can't associate with him."

Helen was also bewildered: "You didn't know? Then why did you stop us?"

Halle Berry retorted angrily, "Do you think I'm blind? Can't I see that you and other girls are living with him? What could five girls possibly do with him? How can I accept this?"

Helen exclaimed, "I'm an adult! I can decide my own life. Besides, isn't that how it is in the film industry?"

Halle Berry sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

This is truly a case of having mastered bad habits before even learning any skills.

Halle Berry said helplessly, "I can't control your life, but you should at least know how to make choices. You can't choose him; he will ruin you."

Helen scoffed, "So I should choose the person you introduced me to? What do you think of that producer?"

Halle Berry said helplessly, "Burrless didn't betray you, but it's true that he caused the MS13 people to see you. That was my fault. I didn't know he was associated with those guys before, but you really can't be with Ian Carl."

Why?

"Because he'll expose everyone's dirt!" Halle Berry exclaimed. "Do you really know him? He's the one who leaked Lily Marta's information; he ruined her marriage. Lily cried to me about it; she's almost depressed! And Cressida Tillman, that bastard blackmailed Cressida for half a million dollars using her photos. He's a scoundrel! I can give him money, but I won't let you be with him! He'll find dirt on countless people through you!"

Helen laughed: "I know these things, so what?"

She looked at her aunt thoughtfully: "You're afraid of him, aren't you? You're all afraid of him? Because he always manages to find out other people's private matters."

Halle Berry turned her face away.

Which celebrity doesn't have some shady secrets?

Helen's eyes, however, shone with excitement.

She suddenly burst into laughter: "Sorry, Auntie, what you said makes me love him even more!"

She was like a crazy girl, shouting and jumping around, her ponytail flying in the air.

Then she hugged Halle Berry tightly: "But don't worry, he'll never hurt you with me by his side!"
