American Gossip King

Chapter 335 is indeed not excessive.

11 month 18 day.

On this day, news that shocked the world arrived.

Police conducted a search of Michael Jackson’s Nevland ranch for more than 10 hours while Jackson was in Las Vegas recording a TV show.

This day became the turning point in the Michael Jackson child molestation case.

The following day, California police and prosecutors held a press conference to announce multiple charges against Michael Jackson for child abuse. Prosecutors stated that an arrest warrant had been issued and demanded that Jackson immediately turn himself in and surrender his passport.

Next, Michael Jackson released an open letter stating that he had been wronged and pointing out that various media outlets had made false reports.

On November 20, an arrest warrant for Michael Jackson was officially issued.

The only difference is that this time the arrest warrant was issued by the Los Angeles Police Department, not the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department.

Santa Barbara County Police Department lodged a strong protest, arguing that the Los Angeles Police Department had overstepped its authority.

Newly appointed Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger stated: No problem!

........................

November 20th, 11 PM.

Los Angeles Police Department.

Michael Jackson looked at Ian Carl, and on either side of him, Katherine and Bellman.

The superstar looked slightly confused: "Ian, I'm very grateful for your support in the media, but I don't understand why you had the Los Angeles Police Department arrest me?"

His voice was deep and gentle, with a slight hoarseness.

It's obvious that he hasn't had a good rest these past two days.

Ian smiled and gestured for Michael Jackson to sit down next to him, handing him a glass of red wine. He casually remarked, "It's better than you falling into Santa Barbara's hands. They won't treat you as gently as I have. Don't worry, you won't be too upset here. The Los Angeles Police Department will take good care of you."

Michael Jackson nodded slightly. "Thank you for your consideration, but the problem now is that someone is targeting me! Ian, I know you're very capable, you can prove my innocence, right?"

Ian grinned at him. "Things aren't looking good for you. Avizo's mother, Janet Avizo, is accusing you of kidnapping her entire family and claims your guards beat her. And you stupidly gave the Chandler family tens of millions... Do you know that makes people think you're guilty?"

Michael Jackson sighed, "I just wanted to settle things peacefully; it was a normal out-of-court settlement at the time."

"But everyone's taking advantage of this opportunity now. Yes, there are many doubts in the case, and Macaulay Culkin and others can testify that you never assaulted them in any way, and experts also believe that a real pedophile wouldn't only assault two people in their lifetime... But all the doubts are just doubts, and no proof can be provided. On the contrary, those who want to frame you only need words. That's the most interesting part—they don't even need physical evidence!"

Ian looked at him seriously, effectively extinguishing any hope Michael Jackson might have had.

Michael Jackson's two child molestation cases certainly raise many questions, but these questions are actually very difficult to prove. In the end, Michael Jackson was gone, and the two boys recanted their testimonies...

Just outrageous!

But that doesn't stop Ian from using this situation to get what he wants... The way to do business is to first plunge the other party into despair, and then pull them out of it. Then you reap not only money, but also gratitude.

Michael Jackson was a great superstar in the eyes of the public, but in Ian's eyes, he was just a tool.

A tool that can make you a lot of money.

Although Michael Jackson was an artist under UTA, he was not actually exclusively affiliated with UTA. He had a great deal of autonomy and collaborated with many companies.

This has resulted in Michael Jackson's profits being divided among many related parties over the past period, something Ian has long resented.

I'm the boss!

The only boss!

If he hadn't known this would happen, he probably would have initiated the plan ahead of time.

He smiled at Michael Jackson and said, "I can help you, but it won't be easy."

Upon hearing this, Catherine snorted and sneered.

Sure enough, the conversation that followed went in the direction she had predicted.

Michael Jackson asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Ian replied, "First, we need to get the case to court immediately!"

The original case didn't go to court until 04, and then the trial went on for a long time.

But Ian wasn't going to wait that long.

efficient!

How can you make money if you're inefficient?

Ian said, "Since the Santa Barbara police believe you are guilty, they should have sufficient evidence. Don't let them delay or fabricate any more so-called evidence; speed is crucial. I need you to notify your lawyer immediately, and I will also speak with the court. I demand a trial begin within three days!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Michael Jackson was taken aback: "The album 'One More Chance' has just been released, and going to court so soon is not good for album sales."

"Ridiculous!" Ian roared sternly, "Don't talk to me about your album. What you need to consider right now is your reputation, your freedom! Michael, all I ask of you is to trust me! What I need you to do now is to immediately use this incident to terminate all cooperation with other companies! They'll think you're finished and be happy to end everything! Then I'll have UTA sign a new agreement with you!"

With a cigar between his fingers, he pointed at Michael Jackson's nose and shouted, "I can only give you freedom when you truly belong to me!"

Stop pretending!

At this moment, Ian Carl truly revealed his greedy capitalist face.

I can help you!

Only I can help you!

But the prerequisite is that you truly belong to me!

Michael Jackson shook his head slightly: "They won't agree."

Ian chuckled. "No, they'll agree. If the first court appearance goes against you, they'll all abandon you."

Michael Jackson was taken aback: "You said you'd help me?"

This time, it was Catherine who answered: "Really good news is about plot twists. First, make everyone believe that Michael Jackson is really guilty, and then prove him innocent. That's Ian Carr's usual style."

Director Bellman replied, "Of course, if you don't truly belong to him, there might not be any plot twists."

Such vicious words are not suitable for me to say; let the Los Angeles Police Department do it for me.

Ian slowly stood up: "Think it over carefully."

He then ordered his men to remove Michael Jackson from the premises.

Catherine looked at Ian and frowned: "He's the world's number one superstar, yet your only attitude towards him is that he's only useful to you."

Ian sneered, "Yes, because he's still essentially a naive child!"

After thinking for a moment, Ian said, "Besides, without me, this incident would have dragged on for too long, greatly affecting his physical and mental health; he might have died much earlier. But with me, he can live a long and healthy life. He should thank me! Is it too much to ask that he help me make some money as the best way to express his gratitude?"

Bellman and Catherine looked at each other and shrugged simultaneously: "It certainly doesn't sound like an exaggeration."
