Eric said firmly: "Annie, I will not break up with you. Can you tell me your address in New York, I will visit you at Christmas?"
"Don't think about it," Aniston refused with a sullen face, and at the same time couldn't help thinking that you couldn't find it yourself, even that guy Drew Barrymore could find it: "You don't... don't you have a new one?" Do you have a girlfriend, that... girl with a big mouth?"
"You mean Julia, she has great potential. I'm going to open a brokerage company and want to sign her."
Aniston glanced dissatisfied at the gossip tabloids that were still spread out on the table not far away: "Are all the actresses in your agency going to sleep with you? I also...I wore that shirt too, you bastard! "
After hesitating for a few seconds, Eric said softly: "I'm sorry, Annie, can you forgive me? I promise I will never do this again."
Hearing the rare weakness in Eric's tone, Aniston's voice softened a bit: "Eric, I think the distance between us is too far. The longer we get along, the more I find that you are a wandering person , I don’t want to feel that insecurity all the time.”

"Annie, I just bought a villa in Beverly Hills..."
"But you don't have a home in your heart, Eric, maybe it's my illusion. I feel like you are a passerby who suddenly broke into this world. When I'm with you, sometimes I can't help worrying, Are you going to disappear suddenly?"
There was a brief silence between the two at the same time.
"Eric, I called you today, just to tell you that in the morning, I received an anonymous letter saying that I wanted to ask me to talk about you. I saw that the address above was in Central Park There is no danger, so I went to the appointment out of curiosity. The stranger asked about me and you, and then asked me... about that morning, I didn't say it, but the guy might have seen something , and then tested me if possible, whether I would like to appear in court to testify that you had a relationship with Drew, and also said that if this matter is successful, you can give me a sum of money, but I refused. "
Eric listened quietly to Aniston's narration, with his lips tightly pursed. After Aniston finished speaking, Eric wrote lightly: "Annie, thank you for telling me this. You still love me, yes ?"
"You..." Anis's heart beat a few times rapidly, and her voice raised a lot: "Why are you still in the mood to entangle this, don't you understand, Eric, someone wants to send you to prison. I specifically checked Roman Polanski's affairs, and the evidence that he had a relationship with that girl back then is indeed conclusive, but some people wanted to target him and sentenced him to life imprisonment, so he had to flee the United States."
"Annie, I see, don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
After hanging up the phone, Eric sat quietly on the sofa and meditated for a long time. Although "Home Alone" squeezed the box office of many film companies, it was a normal business practice after all. Although many people would hate themselves, the most intense The method is just like a few days ago, through media smearing to suppress the box office of his own movie.
Moreover, Fox made a fierce counterattack, and after the opponent found out that there was nothing to be done, they quickly died down.
Eric thinks about it and there is only one person who can hate to the point where he wants to send himself to prison, Blunt Cohen. Because of the turmoil in the gambling agreement, Blunt Cohen was forced to apologize to himself in public. For a person who has been in a high position for a long time, it must be a shame to give in to a kid who is about the same age as his grandson. People are really not very broad-minded, so they are the most suspicious.
However, there are other possibilities. Everyone knows that people's hearts are the most unpredictable thing in this world. Even during this period of time, some people don't like Eric, and they happen to have the ability to do this, so they will disgust him. Not impossible.
Although not too worried, Eric still called Edward Lewis, and more than half an hour later, the private lawyer came to Eric's house.
Eric recounted what Aniston had told him, and the two discussed for a long time. Edward Lewis asked for many details while taking notes himself.
After more than two hours, Edward Lewis closed the notepad and asked with a serious expression: "Eric, I want to confirm one last time, can you guarantee that you really did not have sex with Miss Drew Barrymore that day? You want You know, with and without, you need to prepare two completely different plans. If... you don't tell the truth, we are likely to be caught off guard by our opponents."
Eric carefully recalled the situation at that time, and said with certainty: "Absolutely not. Although we got up on the same bed that day, the sheets were clean and there were no traces of sex after the incident. Moreover, Drew also personally Admittedly, we didn't have that relationship."
"Then I don't have any other problems, Eric, don't worry, I will prepare a response plan immediately after I go back, you don't have to worry about this matter at all, although the public opinion is still somewhat unfavorable to you, but the fact does not exist Under such circumstances, even if someone wants to falsely accuse you, there is no possibility of success."
Eric finally felt relieved and sent Edward Lewis away. He suddenly remembered that when the turmoil started a few days ago, although Drew could no longer come to his house, he called from time to time. In the past two days, there has been no news.
Calling Drew's house several times in a row, but no one answered, Eric had a bad feeling in his heart. He wasn't worried that Drew would team up with those people to frame him, but Drew's greedy and not very smart mother was hard to say.
On the second floor of an apartment in Culver City, Los Angeles, Drew, who was locked in the room and watched TV boredly, was a little annoyed when he heard the continuous ringing of the phone in the living room. Although Eric had never contacted her before, But her sixth sense told herself that the call was probably from Eric.
In the past few days, Ediko Gide, who had never cared much about her, seemed to suddenly realize her conscience and became a responsible and good mother. Using the turmoil in the media as an excuse, Drew was confined in the room and not allowed to go out. She was not allowed to make calls.
Of course Drew disagreed, and after a quarrel, the mother and daughter almost had a fight. In the end, Drew, who had small arms and legs, was unable to persuade Ediko Gide and was locked in the room.
Moreover, Drew also noticed that someone was planning something with her mother. She accidentally heard her mother in the living room whispering to the person on the other end of the phone for a long time last night. They don't carry their own backs, and they don't even lower their voices when flirting with some men on the phone.
"No, something must have happened..."
Drew turned off the TV, muttered to himself for a while, and walked around the room a few times uneasily, checking the time. His mother probably would be back soon. Drew felt that he couldn't wait any longer. After thinking about it, he found a few sheets from the closet and tied them together, made a rope three or four meters long, tied it to the leg of the bed, tried the strength, opened the window, and carefully Climb down the rope.
When he was about to fall to the ground, the knot suddenly broke, and Drew fell to the ground from a height of one meter. After leaving the yard, he hailed a taxi and headed towards Eric's house.
