America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 544 Blackmail
It is not considered big news that Hollywood's top stars have illegitimate children, because this has happened too many times in the past. For example, Jack Nicholson did not even dare to do a DNA test and simply settled the matter out of court.

But besides being a Hollywood star, Martin also has another identity - an American hero.

Media reporters surrounded the red carpet on both sides, and the organizer's security personnel watched closely, ready to pounce at any time.

Bruce knew very well that he should get rid of the person first and then talk about other things: "You can talk to Martin in person."

Toni still had fantasies about Martin. She held her child in her arms and followed Bruce towards the hotel entrance with a determined look.

Halfway through, she looked back.

Big Ben nodded at Toni.

These days, he has been considering various possible developments based on what Toni said, the general environment in the circle, and Martin Davis's tough personality.

Ben Affleck has worked as a screenwriter and director. The former has won an Oscar, and the latter is also quite talented. Based on the "facts" that Toni said, it was not difficult for him to make further deductions. He also made various psychological assumptions for Toni based on this.

Toni told him that Martin had had sex with her and had a child.

Big Ben thought of this and suddenly laughed. Martin Davis would definitely refuse. It would be exciting after the refusal!

In some respects, it was exactly as he expected. Faced with the so-called illegitimate child who suddenly came to his door, Martin could not admit it because it was definitely not him.

After entering the hotel, the experienced Nicholson reminded Martin: "If it was you who did it, or you are not sure, give him some money and get rid of him quickly. The longer you delay, the more trouble you will have."

Leonardo didn't think it was a big deal, and gloated: "By the way, think carefully about how to explain it to your girlfriend."

"It has nothing to do with me." Martin said seriously first, then patted Leonardo on the shoulder: "Sorry for messing up your activities."

Leonardo shook his head, "There's no need to talk bullshit between us. Just deal with it quickly. Call me and Jack if you need anything."

Nicholson asked, "Do you want me to go with you? I have experience in dealing with illegitimate children who come to your house."

Martin said, "You should stay with Leo. I will call for help when I need it."

Leonardo and Nicholson continued to attend their activities, and Martin asked someone to ask for a lounge in the hotel and waited patiently.

Not long after, Bruce and Thomas, who had hurried over, brought Toni into the lounge.

Martin glanced at the baby she was holding. The child had stopped crying and was blinking his eyes, observing the world curiously.

Toni came forward and said, "John, look, this is your dad."

Martin took a step back unconsciously, thinking that this woman was crazy!
But he didn't go crazy. When he saw Bruce nod slightly, he said, "I remember you. You came to my book signing event in Times Square, New York, wearing a wedding dress."

"Yes, I'm Toni. I left you a card with my contact information." Toni has said these words to Ben so many times that she probably believes them to be true: "You contacted me after a while, and not long after that I had John."

She opened her eyes wide, full of anticipation: "John has your blood flowing in his body, take a look, he looks a lot like you."

Thomas' face darkened and he warned, "Madam, please be careful about what you say. You are slandering and defaming Martin's reputation. You will be held legally responsible!"

Toni said, "Everything I said is true. If you think there is a problem, I can take John to do a DNA test!"

Thomas' heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He turned to look at Martin, wondering if this was true.

After all, Martin's reputation as a playboy is known throughout the United States, so it is not surprising that he accidentally caused a murder.

It was impossible for Martin to calculate the time, and he remembered very clearly that he had never had any relationship with this woman.

The only time they faced each other was at a book signing event in New York's Times Square.

Martin smiled and said in a kind tone, "Toni, you are a good girl. I don't know what the dispute between you and Ben Affleck is, but I have some personal conflicts with Ben. You and your children should not become tools in her hands."

Toni hugged the child tightly: "Ben is right, you just make excuses and deny it!"

In the past few months, Ben and Toni have been getting along very well, and under their subtle influence, it is impossible for Martin to convince them with just a few words.

Martin smiled and shook his head: "You have nothing to do with me, and this child has nothing to do with me!"

Toni discovered that what Ben said was absolutely right. These Hollywood stars said one thing on the surface and another on the inside, and would never admit to having illegitimate children.

She said: "Martin, I have put countless efforts into this child. If you don't admit it, we can only see each other in court."

Martin deliberately asked, "What if I don't want to see you in court?"

Toni patted the child gently: "Admit that he is your son."

Martin guided her subtly: "I have nothing to do with your son. What if I want you to leave?"

Toni's first reaction was that Martin wanted to pay, like many Hollywood stars do.

Da Ben told her more than once not to talk about money first.

But Toni did all this for money. Toni was a woman and had her own ideas. Money was more powerful than anything else. She said, "For $1000 million, I'll sign an agreement with you to take John away from Los Angeles and never come back."

Martin said righteously: "I don't accept your threats!"

Toni was also a little angry. A father has assets of 70 or 80 million US dollars, or even hundreds of millions, and he gives 10 million US dollars to his son and his mother. Is that too much?
She said: "Martin, I will call the police and sue you in court!"

Martin asked, "How much? I didn't hear clearly."

"1000 million dollars!" Toni emphasized again: "Just give me 1000 million dollars and I will disappear with John immediately."

It is impossible to send away such people who come for money with words alone. Martin is very self-aware and knows that he is definitely not as attractive as the US dollar.

Martin stood up, thinking there was no need to talk further, because he would not give a dime: "Please do as you please."

Toni looked at the child in her hands. Her disappointment turned into despair at the ruthlessness of the child's father. She said, "I will apply to the court for a paternity test!"

Martin didn't say anything else and just left the lounge.

Thomas was worried. He quickly caught up with her from behind and asked, "Are you sure?"

Martin said directly: "Does anyone know better than me whether my brother has done it or not?"

The three of them went into another room.

Martin said: "I saw Ben Affleck next to this woman named Toni, and there seemed to be Casey Affleck not far away. They are very likely involved in this incident!"

Thomas was confused: "They? This woman, Old Bull, said she was your former female fan..."

Bruce said: "They first appeared in the Coty community in Sherman Oaks. At that time, media reporters blocked the door and more than a dozen women came out to dance topless. Later, they attended a book signing event in New York wearing a wedding dress and claimed to be Martin's wife. If I remember correctly, Toni was the leader."

Martin couldn't figure it out: "She took the initiative to apply for a DNA test. Is she bluffing? Or is she sure?"

Bruce asked, "Some slut ran off with your genetic material and shared it with her?"

"No, there is absolutely no such possibility." Martin said: "Every time, I watched them swallow it all, and I didn't use condoms last year..."

At this point, he and Old Bu both remembered: "These women once went through our trash cans!"

Martin looked at Old Bull: "It's not yours, is it?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's definitely not mine!" Bruce also paid attention: "I used all of mine on Kim and Khloe."

Thomas knew who Kim and Khloe were, and looked at Bruce in surprise. This guy was really playing tricks!

Martin frowned: "That's strange." He quickly made a decision: "Find the best private detective to check Toni's whereabouts and occupation since last year to see how she got together with Ben."

Bruce nodded: "I have comrades in the Pinkerton Detective Agency. As long as the commission is enough, these are small problems."

Martin asked, "Did you record it just now?"

Bruce took out a recorder and pressed the speaker button. When Toni said $1000 million, he paused.

"Although I don't know where the problem lies, I can be sure that the child has nothing to do with me!" Martin, a patient with severe persecution disorder, still has this confidence.

It is impossible for someone who has had sex in the past two years to have his stuff leaked out.

If Kate, Jolie, Aniston, Daddario, Elizabeth and others hold the child and say it is his, it might be true, but it is impossible for Toni!

Martin added: "We have always done things in an upright manner. Since Toni is threatening me for $1000 million, call the police. I am being blackmailed."

Thomas confirmed again: "It's not yours?" Seeing Martin nod firmly, he said: "Okay, call the police."

Martin took out his cell phone and said to Thomas, "Go find Leo. He is the organizer of this event. Tell him about it. I want to borrow his venue to hold a press conference."

Thomas nodded and immediately went to find Leonardo.

Martin pressed 911 and called the police. When the call was connected, he said, "I am Martin Davis? Yes, Martin Davis, the honorary citizen of Los Angeles. I was blackmailed by a woman at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel. She threatened me and demanded a huge sum of $1000 million..."

There is a special list on the 911 side in Los Angeles, and Martin is one of them.

After the operator answered the call, he quickly reported the situation.

Martin found McClain's phone number and said directly: "I was blackmailed for $1000 million..."

McClain didn't waste any time and said he would come over in person soon.

Almost at the same time, Leonardo announced at the event that there would be a simple press conference afterwards.
