American Scandal King

Chapter 220 Attack in groups
"Extra number! Extra number!"

"Ian Carr raped Natalie Portman!"

"Business tycoons are willing to take risks to win the hearts of beautiful women!"

On this day, a piece of breaking news came out on ABC and related media.

After the news came out, it became a hot topic across the United States almost instantly, and major media outlets were madly criticizing Ian.

Even CBS, News Corporation and Gannett's newspapers are no exception.

We are in the news business anyway, so why not take advantage of the hot topics?
The key point is that Ian Carr himself didn’t stop it!
This also made Ian Carr's name instantly famous, but this time it was a bad reputation.

Then Natalie Portman came forward.

She tearfully said in front of the TV camera: "I don't want to talk about this anymore. I just hope this will all be over as soon as possible."

A reporter raised his microphone and shouted, "Are you going to sue Ian Carr?"

Natalie Portman shook her head slightly: "No, let it all pass. The Jews are accustomed to suffering..."

It is definitely impossible to file a complaint. If it goes to court, it will be discovered that the recording has been edited and is completely useless.

Her giving up made her seem like she was being oppressed by a powerful force, and it also made the people angry and they shouted for Ian to be arrested.

In the United States, rape cases can be prosecuted privately or publicly.

So even if Natalie Portman does not initiate prosecution, the police can still prosecute.

Americans also rely on public opinion when handling cases, so if this incident becomes a big deal, the police will definitely prosecute. But if Ian is willing to prevent this prosecution, he can definitely prevent it.

He has the energy.

At least ABC and others thought he would do so.

However, no one expected that Ian did not stop it.

………………

In the afternoon, Catherine led the team to Trump Tower.

Entering the office, she saw Ian on the phone.

He rested his legs on the desk, one leg fiddling with the flowers on the table, the other holding the phone, looking very relaxed.

He smiled into the phone and said, "Don't worry, good news must have a twist and a twist, and it must have value that can be continuously explored... Since I told you to release this news, you don't have to worry about anything... Okay, just wait... The police are here, that's it for now."

After hanging up the phone, Ian looked at Catherine and the police officers behind her and said with a smile, "Looks like I can't do it with you in the office today."

Catherine glared at him fiercely.

She had worried about Ian before, but more often than not she trusted him.

So the moment she pushed the door open and heard Ian's phone call, she already understood.

But precisely because she understood, she became even angrier.

She strode over and unhappily pushed his feet off the table.

Said: "No matter what your confidence is, at least you did sleep with her, right?"

"Are you jealous?" Ian asked with a smile.

Catherine did not answer.

She showed the handcuffs and slammed them on his wrists: "Yes, you bastard!"

Although she had surrendered in her heart, Catherine still behaved strongly most of the time - she punched Ian in the stomach and handcuffed him as she walked out.

The policemen looked at each other and shrugged.

Walking out of the office, Ian looked at the editors in the hall; everyone was looking at him.

Ian's face darkened. "Do your job well. If anyone slacks off, I'll fire him when I get back!"

All the editors bowed their heads simultaneously.

Just like that, Ian walked out of Trump Tower under police escort.

As soon as I walked out the door, I saw a large group of reporters surrounding me, with cameras pointed at Ian, and they shouted, "Ian Carr, do you have anything to say about the rape of Natalie Portman?"

Ian ignored it and just looked into the distance.

In the distance, a large crowd gathered together, holding large banners that read:
"Ian Carr, die!"

"Carl Media, die!"

Ian smiled.

This smile was quickly captured by some experienced reporters.

Great, that's good news.

The throwback photo was captioned: "Ian Carr has no regrets!"

It was a perfect match. And then Ian was put into the police car.

Amidst the sirens blaring, they shuttled through the crowd.

From time to time, you can see people clapping at the car windows and giving him the middle finger:
"Ian Carr, you're a jerk!"

"Ian Carr, you don't deserve to be an American hero."

"Ian Carr, you should be sentenced to a hundred years in prison!"

They shouted and vented their anger.

Looking at the angry crowd outside the window, Ian curled his lips into a smile.

Catherine looked at him doubtfully: "Can you really solve all this?"

Ian thought for a moment and smiled, "Actually, they doubted I could handle this... I mean, they called me before. I refused! I wasn't even going to listen to their terms."

It is impossible for those who framed me not to have doubts.

Why is Ian Carr so calm?
But the problem is, you can't give up just because the other person is calm.

Giving up your bargaining chips just because the other party appears confident is certainly prudent, but it may also fall into a trap. Most people would consider trying it when they have something in hand - even if the other party can resolve it, it may not necessarily cause any trouble for you, right?
So even if they think Ian is sure, they will still try it before understanding the specific situation, and then fall into Ian's trap...

It's like jumping into a pit even though you know there's a pit, not to mention you don't even know enough!

So Catherine sighed: "Is there nothing in this world that can deceive you, Ian?"

Ian replied calmly: "I can be fooled by many things, as long as one premise is met."

"what?"

"It's none of my business." Ian said, closing his eyes and falling into a resting state.

…………

The news of Ian Carr's criminal detention quickly spread around the world.

Countless people are waiting for the outcome of this matter.

Greetings from all sides also poured in.

Especially the girls.

This is when the relationships between people can be seen.

Kate, Scarlett and others almost stopped filming to come back to see him, but Ian repeatedly asked them not to do so, telling them that they would be fine and just need to watch the news.

Those who did not call included Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Connelly and others.

Ian didn't care about this. We were all just having fun, so why set such high standards?
Kim Hee Sun, Song Hye Kyo and others in South Korea also called him to express their concern. Ian smiled and said, "Just protect yourselves."

More calls come from business collaborations.

Rudolf Murdoch said he would quickly initiate a buyback agreement if Carr Media failed to fulfill its commitments.

Ankang Insurance Company stated that loans from Ankang Company have first priority for repayment.

Congressman Cherry said: The midterm elections are not over yet, and given his current situation, he hopes he will not declare his support for himself for the time being.

This is relatively ruthless.

Dubang Group said that it could help him contact some people and try to prevent the matter from going to court.

The South Korean side stated: The Oprah Winfrey Show has suspended cooperation due to this incident and hopes that Ian can resolve his troubles as soon as possible.

This part is relatively neutral.

Congressman Brand said he could help him arrange a Supreme Court justice.

James Pelley said: CBS will always stand by him.

This is considered moral, but that's because Ian had already informed these people in advance.

The only ones who were unaware of the situation and pledged to follow to the death were Kreps and the Afghan side.

Kreps said: I'll always support you, boss, do you need me to kill Natalie Portman?

Afghanistan said: We can carry out a terrorist attack in the Los Angeles court.

Surely these people are the most moral? Haha!
A low point made Ian see the true faces of all his friends, but for him, there was no such thing as enlightenment or seeing through someone.

Only fools need certain special events to see who is right. The truly strong never need this - the truly strong do not need people who share their hardships in times of crisis, because they psychologically cannot accept their own misfortune.

For the truly strong, if one day they really fall into disgrace, then it is not difficult to accept being deserted by everyone... At least this is the mentality they have when they are in a position of power!
So in a sense, people like Ian actually prefer those who don't care about them - after all, the role these people play when they are successful is far greater than those who can only play a role when they are in danger.

So as long as they don't take advantage of others' misfortunes, they are good friends.

Of course, there are also those who take advantage of others’ misfortunes.

Harvey Weinstein jumped out and said: He has always been pessimistic about Ian's character, and Ian Carr has always been that kind of person.

This surprised Ian: Do you want to die?
