"Please come in, Ms. Marco." Eric let Ediko in with a blank expression, closed the door, and walked straight to the villa.
Ediko quickened his pace and followed Eric, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at everything around the mansion. When he saw the luxurious modern style villa, his eyes showed deep envy.
Although Drew is very famous, because of the age limit, there are not many suitable roles for her. After starring in "et", she only acted in four or five movies one after another, and the salary is not high, and the money she earns is not enough. Dicko himself spent too much, let alone bought such a luxurious mansion.
Moreover, in the past two years, her daughter's self-awareness has become stronger and stronger, and her relationship with her has become worse and worse. Aidike knew that it would be more and more difficult to rely on her daughter to make money from movies. When talking to Rick, Ediko just thought about it for a while and agreed.
Because the other party promised that she could get a sum of money as long as she signed the prosecution document in the name of Drew's guardian, and she didn't even have to appear in court in person, and everything would be handed over to the attorney. This kind of good thing almost fell from the sky, greedy How could Aidike let it go.
Pushing the door into the living room of the villa, Drew turned his head when he heard the sound on the sofa, the smile on his face melted like snowflakes on the stove the moment he saw his mother, his expression changed a few times, but Drew still couldn't hold back Angry in his heart, he stood up abruptly, grabbed a pillow and threw it at Ediko, screaming at the same time: "What are you doing here?"
The pillow was smashed to the wrong side, Eric quickly picked it up and held it in his hand, glared at Drew and said, "Drew, don't mess around."
Although Aidike didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Eric, he didn't have so many scruples when facing his daughter, and scolded: "You little bastard, you dare to throw things at me, look what you look like now, I am Your mother, of course, is here to take you home."
"It's so ironic," Drew waved his hand, pointing at Ediko and said, "I've stayed out so many times before, and even got drunk once, and the police picked me up from the side of the road in the middle of the night and sent me back My dear, why didn't I see you come to me at that time? Now you think you are my mother, ha, what a joke?"
Ediko retorted: "That's not because you are disobedient. If you stay at home obediently, will that happen? Also, what's going on at home, you ruined several sheets, do you know? Don't those things cost money? Go back with me, and I'll settle the score with you when I get home. "
As Ediko said, he stepped forward and was about to go to Radru.
Eric frowned slightly when he heard Aidike's words. The white bandage on Drew's knee was so obvious that Aidike turned a blind eye to it. Instead, he cared about a few sheets, which made Eric feel a deep disgust.
Drew walked around the sofa, dodging his mother's grabbing hand, and shouted: "Don't think about it, I won't go back with you, I already know what you are going to do, I love Eric, but you want money If others frame him together, I will never forgive you, and I will sever the mother-daughter relationship with you."
"You...what nonsense!" Eddie, who was suddenly punctured, was stunned, and looked at Eric with a guilty conscience, feeling a little at a loss for a while.
Drew saw his mother who was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "Why, I was exposed and guilty? Let's not say that Eric didn't have a relationship with me. Even if it happened, I still won't admit it. As long as If you dare to sue Eric, I will go to the court to testify against you for false accusation, and you can wait to go to jail."
Seeing that Drew had a tendency to say even worse words, Eric quickly stopped him and said in a timely manner: "Enough, Drew, you go upstairs first, and I will talk to your mother alone."
Drew stared at Ediko and snorted again, then turned and walked towards the stairs.
"Please sit down, Ms. Marco, let's talk." Eric put the pillow in his hand back on the sofa and sat down by himself.
Ediko lowered her head slightly and sat down opposite Eric. After hearing what her daughter said just now, she suddenly felt that the money was not so easy to get. Originally, Ediko thought that the relationship between Drew and Eric would be the same as that of Drew's friends before. At that time, as long as he persuaded himself, coupled with the temptation of money, Drew would agree to testify against Eric in court. Rick.
But Drew's fierce reaction just now made Ediko realize that her daughter fell in love with the man in front of her, and she couldn't help herself. In the past, when the mother and daughter quarreled, Drew never said that he would sever the mother-daughter relationship with him. talk.
More importantly, even if he sued Eric, he lost the lawsuit in the end, and Ediko felt that he would have nothing to lose. But just now Drew said that he would testify against himself in the French court for framing him. This crime is light but serious, but with the wealth and status of the young man in front of him, will he let him go easily
Thinking of this, Ediko couldn't help but shudder.
Seeing Edik who was struggling, Eric sneered and asked, "So, Ms. Marco, you also heard what Drew said just now, do you still decide to do that?"
Addico was silent.
"Well, let me tell you, maybe the other party gave you a sum of money, but I'm not so easy to handle. As Drew said, you are making a false accusation, and I can completely send you to jail instead. , and the people who instigated you to do this stupid thing will definitely treat you as an abandoned child. Next, Drew is an adult, and because of resentment, she is likely to sever the mother-daughter relationship with you. Do you know what this means? ?”
Aideke on the opposite side nodded subconsciously, then shook his head hastily.
Eric continued: "This means that your most important source of income is completely cut off, and as far as I know, you don't have any means of earning a living. It is very likely that you will spend the rest of your life in poverty, and you will even be reduced to the slums of Los Angeles inside."
Thinking of that terrible scene, Ediko retorted without confidence: "No, it's impossible, she can't treat me like that, I raised her."
"So what, after all these years, has Drew made you less money? She doesn't owe you anything. Even if you bring this matter up to the media, there won't be many people based on what you have done Sympathize with you."
Edik was speechless again, and Eric let the other party calm down for a while before asking, "Have you collected money from those people?"
Aidike shook his head weakly: "They said that they won't give me money until I sign the indictment."
Eric nodded with satisfaction: "This is very good, and everything can be redeemed. So now, I will give you another option, go back and immediately reject those people. I will give you a sum of money first, but you have to promise later Don't bother Drew anymore, I will find her an agent to take care of her life. And when Drew is an adult, I will persuade her to give you alimony every year, enough for you to live a decent middle-class life. "
After Eric finished speaking, he took out the check book, filled in the amount on it, and pushed it in front of Ediko.
Addik glanced up at the amount on the check, a greedy gleam flashed in his eyes, he stretched out his hand slightly, but quickly withdrew it, greedy: "Mr. Williams, isn't one million too little?" ?”
Eric snorted coldly: "It's really a little small, maybe I should change a check for half a million."
Addik quickly grabbed the check and put it in his arms.
"Well, now that you have made your choice, I still have a few things to say. First of all, you can no longer make money in the name of Drew in the future, including not revealing Drew's private life to reporters, and not being on TV. TV show, no book about Drew... I will ask my personal lawyer to draw up a contract with legal effect. Once you break the contract, then everything I said today will no longer count, and you will get How much money, I have to spit it all out."
Edik quickly calculated the pros and cons. The prohibitions Eric said didn't seem to bring him much money, so he nodded quickly.
"Then, now, Ms. Addik, you can leave. I will have the lawyer draw up the contract as soon as possible."
Ediko said his farewell with a smile, ignored Drew's meaning at all, and left in a hurry.
After sending Eddie away and returning to the living room, Drew had already come down the stairs. When she saw Eric, the girl rushed over, with a little excitement on her face, and rubbed against Eric: "Eri Ke, you are so generous, one million, I am yours now."
Eric rubbed Drew's head and smiled: "You are not a doll, you are still yourself, but remember, girl, you owe me a million dollars, and you will still have to pay it back in the future."
Drew cheated: "I won't pay it back, I decided to use myself to pay off the debt, I don't mind being a doll."
Eric knocked on Drew's forehead: "Don't talk nonsense, did you order takeaway just now?"
"I've called," Drew said, "Eric, why did you just say that you asked me to give that... her a sum of money every year in the future, I don't want to care about her, let her die poor."
Eric sighed lightly and rubbed the girl's head. After all, Drew was only thirteen or fourteen years old, so his thinking was inevitably a little extreme. He didn't understand that there were only certain rules in this world, and he couldn't do whatever he liked. Drew in the previous life, even if he clearly severed the father-daughter relationship with his father, he would still give each other alimony every year. Drew was mature at that time.
"You will understand in the future, Drew. This is a kind of... fate. In this life, many things can't be avoided."
Drew nodded with half understanding, and soon became a little excited: "Eric, can I live in your house in the future?"
Eric shook his head: "Drew, it's time for you to go back to school. I plan to choose a boarding school for you. After so many things, how long has it been since you went to class?"
"No, Eric, I get a headache when I read books, can I continue to make movies?"
"No," Eric refused. "You have to at least finish high school. Whether you like it or not, it's an experience, and you're an embarrassing age. There aren't many movies for you."
"Okay, I'll just listen to you." Drew quickly obeyed Eric's arrangement, and at the same time, he was thinking about skipping classes and so on.
