The black business car stopped outside an apartment in Culver City, Los Angeles, and several sturdy bodyguards got out of the car quickly to separate the following reporters. Drew, dressed in conservative casual clothes and sunglasses, got out of the business car, and under the protection of bodyguards, passed through the crowd of crazy reporters and entered the apartment courtyard without saying a word. The news is omnipotent, but they don't dare to trespass on private houses in broad daylight, so they can only wait outside the apartment in disappointment.
"Okay, let's talk, what's going on this time?" After walking into the door of the apartment and sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Drew took off his sunglasses and looked coldly at his mother, Ediko Gide.
I haven't seen my daughter for nearly a year. Originally, Ediko Gide wanted to say a few words of intimacy, but when he heard that his daughter was so indifferent to him, Ediko Gide suddenly didn't want to: "I am you anyway. Mom, are you talking to me in this tone?"
"Let me ask you, what's going on?" Drew stood up abruptly, and threw the sunglasses in his hand to the floor, splashing the broken lenses all over the floor.
The daughter suddenly went into a rage and jumped Addik Gide, but then refused to show weakness and said: "Why are you angry at me? It's not because of you and Eric Williams. You bastard My father even sued me, and now I have to pay for the lawsuit. Let me tell you, you must compensate me twice the money, otherwise, don’t think about me going to this lawsuit and let your bastard father take you directly. Let's go."
"Let me just ask, did you collect money from others this time?" Drew asked with a raised voice.
Ediko Gide waved his arms excitedly and said: "What money, who will give me the money, I guess the money was given to your bastard father. I haven't seen a penny. I still need to spend money to fight the lawsuit. You still have to spend money to file a lawsuit!"
Drew stared at his mother for a while, then took out a check from his handbag and threw it over, warning: "Take this money, you don't need a lawyer, you just need to shut up. Yes, don't let me know what you're doing behind your back, otherwise, I'll let you know what a bleak evening scene is!"
Ediko Gide, who bent down to pick up the check on the ground, heard her daughter say this. Just about to refute, but when he lowered his head and caught a glimpse of the amount on the check, he immediately closed his mouth. The angry expression on his face became stiff, and soon melted away. With a bit of unwilling flattery, he opened his mouth. , for a while but didn't know what to say.
Drew also ignored Ediko Gide, and said to a middle-aged maid who was hiding in the kitchen and looking at the mother-daughter confrontation in the living room: "Ms. Martha, go and tidy up my room. I want Live here for a while."
"No problem, Miss Drew." As the maid said, she hurried out of the kitchen and went upstairs.
Drew waited for the maid to disappear at the corner of the stairs, and then said to Ediko Gide: "During this time, you are not allowed to attend any messy gatherings or parties, you are not allowed to accept invitations from strangers, and you are not allowed to bring men back. "
"I'm your mother!" Ediko Gide couldn't help retorting again.
Drew immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Give me back the check."
Ediko Gide took a step back subconsciously, stuffed the check into his pocket, and hesitated twice before asking, "How long will it take?"
"Wait for this matter to pass," Drew finished, walked to the door and told the bodyguards to bring in his luggage, left Addik Gide in the living room, and went upstairs on his own.
In the United States, there are very few civil cases that have entered the final trial procedure, and more than 90% of the cases have reached a settlement before the final trial. Therefore, regarding the case of Drew's father suing Eric, Eric's legal team immediately So he contacted John Barrymore privately in an attempt to reconcile, but the other party directly offered a compensation of up to 10 million US dollars, which was no different from blackmail. Eric's attorney, Edward Lewis, had a private negotiation with John Barrymore, but the other party refused to make any concessions, and finally had to go to court.
On January 16th, the third week since the turmoil began, the media and public opinion were still using all kinds of negative information to discredit Eric. At the same time, John Barrymore sued his ex-wife Addico Gide and the famous director Eric The case of Ke Williams was also in court for the first time. Early in the morning, the number of reporters blocking Eric's Malibu Pointe Manor increased to more than 300, and the number of reporters at the gate of the Los Angeles Superior Court was also quite large. at this number.
Drew and his mother arrived outside the courthouse in the center of Los Angeles in a commercial vehicle. As soon as they got off the vehicle, they were surrounded by swarms of reporters.
Almost at about the same time, Drew's father often appeared in the media as a heartbroken father during this time. John Barrymore also arrived at the same time. A path was made between Drew and John Barrymore.
Drew got out of the car, carrying a somewhat heavy satchel, walked directly through the crowd with a smile on his face, and walked towards John Barrymore amidst the flashing lights.
John Barrymore didn't expect his daughter to take the initiative to come over. Although he showed a loving father who felt sorry for his daughter in the media, he didn't have much closeness to this baby-faced girl in his bones.
Of course, when his daughter took the initiative to come over, it was impossible for John Barrymore not to react. After thinking about it, John Barrymore showed a gentle smile and walked towards Drew at the same time, as if he wanted to give his daughter a Warm hugs.
Seeing this scene, the flashlights of the surrounding reporters became more rapid. These reporters paid far more attention to this turmoil than the general public, so they also had a deep understanding of the inside story of this lawsuit. Seeing this situation, many people were keenly aware Now, Drew Barrymore may have turned to his father's side. In this case, Eric Williams will undoubtedly lose this lawsuit.
The father and daughter walked to a distance of about one meter. John Barrymore smiled and opened his arms, wanting to give his daughter a hug. After all, this gesture still needs to be done.
Drew tilted his head slightly and stared at his father, the smile on his face became more and more weird. He reached into the satchel with one hand, took a step forward and quickly took out a red brick from the bag. Unprepared, Moore slapped the man in front of him mercilessly.
boom-
There was a muffled sound accompanied by the obvious bone cracking sound, and the bricks shattered and fell to the ground with a clatter. (To be continued..)
