America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 553: False Accusation Becomes Fact
In Los Angeles, in a very ordinary hotel.

Jody checked into a room and went upstairs with a woman. As soon as he opened the door, a woman came out from the room opposite.

"Who is this?" The woman seemed a little surprised.

"Emma O'Connor." Jody introduced the two. "Angie, Emma is a victim just like you."

Angela Oye came over and hugged Emma. Seeing that she was looking down and a little depressed, she said, "Sister, this is not our shame, but his shame!"

Emma didn't say anything, but nodded vigorously.

Jody deliberately arranged for the two to live together in order to inspire a sense of solidarity. He said to Angela, "Emma will be left to you for the time being. I will go back to finish the manuscript. We will try to act one day earlier."

Angela said: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Emma."

The two men went into the room that Jody had just opened.

Jody gave a few more instructions, went downstairs, left the hotel, and got into a Ford sedan parked on the side of the road.

Bruce was sitting in the driver's seat and asked, "Everyone has been arranged."

Jody pulled down the sunshade, opened the mirror to touch up her makeup, and said, "Given Angela Oye's personality, these two being neighbors will definitely further inspire Emma O'Connor's fighting spirit. She is a bit soft in character, and it is not easy for me to persuade her."

Bruce said, "How can something so easy win a Pulitzer Prize?"

"The Pulitzer Prize is indeed very tempting." Jody stared at Bruce: "But old Bruce, you are more tempting."

Bruce was quite helpless: "I'm talking to you about serious matters."

Jody emphasized, "I'm talking about serious matters. For this report, I gambled my future and even my entire career. Isn't it reasonable for you to give me a little reward?"

Bruce turned and looked at Jody. She had a very pretty face, more beautiful than Kim and Khloe, but that didn't matter to him at all.

Because Jody is just as flat front to back.

Bruce recalled the pain from bones hitting bones, which was too much for him to bear. He couldn't help but say, "Eat more and gain weight, okay?"

Qiao Di still didn't understand: "Many women envy my good figure."

"Nice figure?" Bruce almost banged his head against the steering wheel.

Jody held the gear lever with a weird hand shape, moving it around, and said, "Come on, come to my place tonight. Soon I will be your cannon fodder. You have to let the cannon fodder have a good time before it's over."

Bruce didn't say anything more, started the car and left.

Soon, the car stopped in front of a single-family house, and Jody dragged Bruce into the house like a bully.

Bruce walked into Jody's room with a fearless spirit, like a warrior about to be executed.

Beverly Hills, Hilton Hotel.

Stuart Townsend, who moved out of Charlize's house, temporarily lived here and rented a warehouse to store his luggage.

He didn't have much money, and the supplementary card of Charlize Theron's credit card had been suspended. He didn't have money to stay in an executive suite, so he just booked an ordinary room.

The cramped space and mediocre decoration made Stuart, who was used to a luxurious life, quite uncomfortable.

"This woman is so heartless!" Stuart kept cursing in his heart: "She cheated on me with Martin Davis, but she blamed it all on me. She just didn't want to give me a breakup fee."

He thought about it and realized that it was impossible for the two of them to go back, so how could he get a large sum of money from Charlize?

And Martin Davis, he slept with his fiancée, how could he not pay him?
Martin is not easy to mess with. Stewart can't think of a way for a while, so he can only start with Charlize for the time being.

He thought of the conditions Charlize had offered, and for the sake of money, he even considered whether to do a paternity test with that woman. As long as the child was not his, he would definitely be able to get some money from Charlize.

Just as I was thinking this, my cell phone suddenly rang.

Stuart picked up the phone: "This is Stuart Townsend, who are you looking for?"

The reply came from the other side: "I am Ms. Toni Fellman's attorney, Mr. Townsend. Toni wants to contact you to do a paternity test. If you agree, we can make an appointment. If you disagree, we will sue the court..."

Toni's case has been represented by a famous law firm, not because of the money they can get, but because this case may bring a precedent in the national judicial system.

Stuart said: "Wait, this has nothing to do with me, why should I go for a paternity test with you!"

"Please tell me your address. I asked Ms. Theron and she said you two have broken up." The lawyer's time was precious and he was very direct: "I will mail you a lawyer's letter later."

Stuart hung up the phone directly.

I don’t know what method the lawyer used, but in the morning of the next day, a lawyer’s letter was forwarded to his room through the hotel.

Stewart took the lawyer's letter and carefully recalled the Oscar night. He also checked the relevant news online, and his head was full of question marks: "I became a father inexplicably?"

Where did this pot come from? Stuart thought of Martin again: "Since becoming a neighbor with Martin, bad luck seems to happen all the time, even losing my job." He looked up at the ceiling and felt that Martin and Charlize Theron were fooling around together.

…………

After receiving a phone call from Charlize Theron, Martin walked into Charlize's house again after many days of absence because he had already agreed to have a drink with her on the weekend.

The house is still the same as before, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard have not changed. The only thing that has changed is that there is no longer a male owner.

Charlize, casually wearing a black sweater, was waiting at the door of the villa.

Seeing Martin coming over with a bottle of wine, she turned and walked in, saying, "You brought wine, are you afraid that I don't have enough wine here?"

"It's not a good habit to come to the door empty-handed." Martin followed, his eyes running down Charlize's long legs in sky blue jeans.

She is tall and has long legs. She trained her body shape when she was a model. Even if she wears the simplest clothes, she looks great.

Charlize led Martin into a small hall at the back of the villa, where several bottles of wine were prepared, including tequila, whiskey and brandy.

There was a fruit plate on the table filled with nuts to go with the wine.

Charlize asked, "What kind of wine do you want?"

Martin picked up the bottle: "Why not try what I brought."

"Okay." Charlize took two wine glasses and placed them on the table.

Martin opened the wine, poured some for each of them, and sat on the single sofa opposite Charlize.

Charlize kicked off her wedge-heeled slippers, curled up her legs on the sofa, stretched her graceful curves, picked up a glass of wine, and specifically said, "This glass celebrates my return to singleness."

Martin clinked his glass with hers: "Congratulations."

Charlize asked, "Have you noticed some of Townsend's things a long time ago?"

"Yes, there are some." Martin seemed very honest: "But you know, these kinds of things are not suitable for me to say."

He is a shameless bastard. "There is no need to do this press conference on the paternity test. I want to clear my name on the spot and warn others not to mess around in the future. I also want to remind you."

Charlize was skeptical about this, but she understood one thing in her heart: the man opposite her, like many others, had fallen under her charm.

"Thank you." Charlize picked up the glass again and drank it all.

Martin also drank the rest of the wine in the glass.

Charlize took the bottle and poured the wine, saying, "We have been neighbors for almost a year, and I have never invited you to my home. On the contrary, you have invited me many times, and Lily often gives me small gifts."

Martin said: "It's not that I don't want to come, it's just that it's not convenient and I'm afraid people will misunderstand me."

Charlize smiled: "I drove that bastard away. You can come over often in the future."

"Wow, am I more amazing than Hawking?" Martin deliberately pretended to be surprised: "He can't date Charlize Theron in many parallel universes."

Charlize has been involved in the modeling and entertainment circles since the early 1990s and has seen everything. She said: "That's because I don't like him."

The two people, who were both extremely confident in their appearance, looked up at each other at the same time and laughed.

Charlize drank another glass with Martin. She was obviously a big drinker. She drank several glasses of wine without changing her expression. She said again: "Martin, this time you have made me determined to get rid of that bastard."

Martin could tell that Charlize had a lot to say, so he just nodded slightly.

Charlize poured wine and said, "In fact, I had already noticed that he had cheated on me, but I always hoped that he would come back for the sake of our years of relationship, but what I waited for was even greater hurt. I persisted in this relationship for nine years, a full nine years, the best period of my life, but I didn't enjoy life, there were no feasting and revelry, no high-quality..."

She shook her head. "What I'm waiting for is a baseless and unreasonable accusation. Just because you and I are friends and neighbors and get a little closer, that bastard slandered me for cheating on me!"

Martin vaguely grasped Charlize's emotions and said, "He's such a jerk!"

Charlize continued: "I stood by him for nine years, constantly gave in for him, and gave him enough dignity as a man in public, but in the end, I was framed and slandered! The main reason I broke up with him was because he slandered me."

Martin took out his cell phone and asked, "What's his phone number? I'll go and clarify. I can't let you suffer this injustice."

"No need." Charlize shook her head: "Really."

Martin did not have contact information for Stewart-Townsend.

Charlize's eyes fell on Martin's face and said, "I will use my own way to clear this false accusation, but I need your cooperation."

Martin nodded: "Glad to help."

Charlize smiled: "I have been too tired and depressed in the past few years, and I have missed too many beautiful things. From today on, I want to change the way I live."

When she broke free from the previous shackles, she discovered that there were so many things worth enjoying in Hollywood and that life could become colorful.
