America achieves both fame and fortune

Chapter 100 Kicked Out of the Crew (Bonus Chapter 7 for Alliance Leader)

Brisbane is a coastal city, and its luxurious buffets offer an exceptionally abundant selection of seafood, including Australian lobster, blue prawns, and king crab.

Martin also ate kangaroo meat for the first time.

Eliza returned with a plate full of vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms and sat down opposite Martin.

Martin was eating a crab leg: "The seafood is good..."

"I'm a vegetarian," Eliza said, pointing to her plate. "I don't eat meat."

"Sorry, I don't know," Martin said.

Eliza smiled and said, "It's alright." She picked up a mushroom with her fork and added, "Actually, vegetarianism represents more than just health; it also represents a cultural taste and a modern consciousness."

Martin said in a way that's typical of Americans, "It's your freedom."

Eliza suggests, "You can also try more vegetarian options."

Martin took the plate of mushrooms: "I really like mushrooms."

Bruce walked by with a plate of roast beef, sat down at the table with his back to Martin, nudged Martin as he moved his chair, and subtly pointed to the left with his fork.

Martin turned his head and glanced at Adrian's table, where a voluptuous woman had appeared.

Very young, at most twenty-five years old.

Eliza then asked, "Do you want to take another group photo later? You'll write a new blog post about it later, right? My sister is a big star, and your writing about her is terrible."

"It's blogging season now," Martin asked, "Do you have a blog?"

Eliza said, "Yes, I do, but not much. My agency helped me set it up, saying it would attract more fans."

Martin, ever the opportunist, suggested: "How about this, we take another photo together, and you post it on your blog with a post saying my brother is the most handsome man in America!"

Eliza laughed incessantly, "That's too exaggerated, I wouldn't dare write that... Hmm, let me think, how about calling him my twin brother?"

Martin replied, "Okay." He said in Eliza's tone from last time, "Little sister, your brother is going to check your homework."

The two ate and chatted, with Martin occasionally glancing at Adrian.

Adrian is having a passionate affair with a young woman.

Tessa put down her knife and fork and said, "I'm done eating."

Adrian said, "You've only eaten this little bit."

"I need to stay in shape." Tessa deliberately turned up her headlights; she wasn't old, but she was an expert. "It was a pleasure dining with you; I should now enjoy this solitary evening."

Adrian, already aroused, suggested, "How about we go for a drink and enjoy the evening together?"

Tessa said, "I don't want to go to a bar, it's too chaotic and noisy."

Adrian then added, "I brought a bottle of fine wine from Los Angeles; it's hard to find in Brisbane."

Tessa thought for a moment and replied, "Just going for drinks."

Adrian nodded: "Of course, it's just drinking."

The two left the buffet together.

At a table not far away, Kim Kardashian reminded Paris, "They're gone."

Paris said, "Once this comes to light, I will go to Susan Levine as an investment agent, and she has to give me an explanation."

Kim Kardashian said, "I specifically asked around, and it's easy to find child actors like that in Brisbane. It won't delay the filming."

Since breaking up with Jason Shawn, Paris finally let go of the resentment she had been holding in: "Kim, when the time is right, I'll formally introduce you into high society."

Kim Kardashian willingly took on the role of a handbag carrier, and with great emotion, she said, "Thank you, thank you, Parly."

Paris was just saying it casually; she felt it would be too embarrassing to introduce Kim to the industry.

Do the families behind them even have a net worth of hundreds of millions, let alone billions?

Giving her the opportunity to be a bag carrier is already quite generous.

Eliza didn't eat much and went back to her room early to adjust to the time difference.

Martin returned with some more crocodile meat and seafood, and sat down opposite Bruce: "They're gone."

Bruce asked, "You think they made a move?"

When Martin saw the woman leave with Adrian, he had a guess: "It must be because of a big scandal that happened in Los Angeles last year, involving a Lakers star..."

"It's very likely," Bruce said. "In these kinds of situations, as long as there are traces and no surveillance, the outcome will inevitably favor the woman."

These words struck a chord with Martin: "That makes sense."

…………

The battle was exceptionally fierce inside the ordinary room.

Tessa kept yelling, "Rough! I like roughness. Don't act like a woman. Where's your strength?"

Adrian couldn't stand being mocked for being like a woman at a time like this. If the other party demanded roughness, then he would be as rough as possible.

Tessa had several wounds on her body, and even her neck had marks from being choked.

Finally, it was all over, and the room returned to calm.

Tessa pushed Adrian away and ran to the bathroom. Halfway there, she picked up her clothes, took out her phone, dialed 000, and said in a trembling voice, "Help! Help me! I've been raped!"

Adrian noticed his female companion had gone into the bathroom and wasn't coming out, so he called out loudly, "Hey, beautiful, what are you doing?"

Tessa said, "You've put it all in there, I need to clean it up."

Adrian laughed heartily: "Do you want me to come in and help you?"

"No need," Tessa's voice came through. "Wait for me a little longer."

Adrian didn't wait for Tessa to come out, but instead heard a knock on the door.

He went over, opened the door, and found a man and a woman, both Brisbane police officers, following behind the waiter.

"COP!" one of the policewomen announced her identity, while another stepped inside to prevent Adrian from closing the door. The former said, "We received an alarm..."

The sound reached into the room, and Tessa screamed from the bathroom, "Help! Help..."

Adrian was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized what he meant and explained, "No, she came to me on her own initiative."

At this point, many of the things the little head had done while controlling the big head flashed before his eyes. Realizing something was wrong, he said, "I'm American, I'm a celebrity, I need to call the film crew, I need to find a lawyer..."

The chaos here quickly alerted the rest of the film crew.

Martin and Bruce mingled in the crowd, coming out together to see what was going on.

Menne muttered to himself, "It's all about skill when it comes to picking up girls, and it has to be consensual. Qiangjian is just too tasteless."

From the crowd, Kim Kardashian said, "The producer is here."

Susan Levine and her deputy came downstairs, and Martin and the others automatically made way for them.

The victim had obvious injuries and contained unusual substances in his body. The production team's communication only resulted in the Brisbane Police Department agreeing to control the information, but Adrian had to be taken away.

Susan was furious. The film crew hadn't even started shooting yet, and this had already happened, with an actor even being arrested.

Watching the police lead Adrian downstairs, Martin called to Bruce and Menez, "Let's go, go back to sleep."

Everyone had been arrested, so there was nothing exciting to see, and the crowd dispersed.

Susan rushed back to her room and made several phone calls. Filming was about to begin, so she needed to get the actors back first.

This is a troublesome matter.

A knock sounded on the door, and Paris Hilton entered the room.

Susan put down her phone, remembering that the other party was a representative of some investors, and asked politely, "What's the matter?"

Paris feigned maturity: "Should we notify the investors about this kind of incident on set?"

Susan said, "Not for now."

Paris said, "What about Adrian? He's now suspected of assault, the news is bound to leak out, what will happen then? What will the production team do if he faces criminal charges?"

Susan understood what she meant.

Paris continued, "Investors trusted me to invest in the production on their behalf. With this situation, the risks have multiplied, and I have to step in and replace the actor! Adrian's salary is only $1.5. If the production fires him, we can at most pay him the full amount. But if he has problems, our losses will be much greater. The money wasted on a single day of filming delays far exceeds that amount."

Susan nodded: "I'll consider it."

Paris was at a loss for words. She was able to say all this because she had prepared beforehand, and finally added, "Hurry up, because the loss of time is the loss of investors."

After seeing Paris off, Susan returned but didn't rush to make a decision.

The following day, Brisbane police informed the film crew that, after a series of procedures such as a medical examination, they had decided to arrest Adrian.

The film crew can bail him out.

Susan didn't want the production team to pay for it, so she notified Adrian's agent to initiate the contract termination and withdrawal process, kicking Adrian out of the production team.

The person doesn't belong to the film crew, so what does the scandal have to do with the film crew?

At the same time, a notice was issued locally to recruit a suitable actor.

The crew is still adjusting to the time difference, so they have plenty of time to recruit new actors.

…………

At Brisbane Police Station, John, the agent who rushed to the scene, met with Adrian, accompanied by his lawyer.

"This is a very complicated situation," John said bluntly. "The woman is injured, has your child inside her, and someone has provided a recording proving that you invited her to your room for alcohol you brought from Los Angeles."

Adrian shouted in protest, "She's framing me! I didn't do anything wrong..."

John raised his hand to stop him from yelling: "These things won't solve anything. I came here firstly to clean up your mess, and secondly because the production team has terminated your contract."

Adrian didn't care about the supporting role.

John added, "HBO and Warner Bros. are very unhappy with you and believe that your behavior will affect 'Entourage.' They want to postpone the show's release, which is very bad for your future."

He glanced at Adrian: "If you have a future."

Adrian tried to calm himself down: "What should I do?"

"Take the money and settle with that girl to drop the charges against you." John had already given up on Adrian, but he was still fulfilling his duties as her agent: "If you are convicted, your American citizenship won't protect you from jail time."

The lawyer standing next to him added, "In recent years, there have been cases in Brisbane where sentences of up to 11 years have been handed down."

Adrian, not wanting to go to jail, said, "I don't have much cash."

John said, "Then sell the car, sell the house, do everything you can to raise the money."

Adrian thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you a letter of authorization. Take me back to Los Angeles as soon as possible."

"You've been framed. I don't know who it is, but you're no match for them," John warned. "I'll help you get bail. Stay away from that film crew, the further away the better."

Adrian could only nod.

John did his duty and said no more, because the company had decided to give up on Adrian; there were many excellent young actors, and it wasn't worth wasting resources on him anymore.
