The black commercial car stopped outside an apartment in Culver City, Los Angeles, and several sturdy bodyguards quickly got out of the car to separate the group of reporters who were following. Drew, dressed in conservative casual clothes and sunglasses, got out of the business car. Under the protection of bodyguards, he passed through the group of crazy reporters and entered the apartment compound without a word. Although the reporters often tried to obtain The news is omnipotent, but I dare not trespass the house in broad daylight, and can only wait outside the apartment in disappointment.
"Okay, let's talk, what's going on this time?" Entering the apartment door and sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Drew took off his sunglasses and looked at his mother, Ediko Gide, coldly.
I haven't seen her daughter for nearly a year. Originally, Ediko Gide wanted to say a few words of closeness, but when she heard that her daughter was so indifferent to him, Ediko Gide was reluctant: "I'm you anyway. Mom, are you talking to me in this tone?"
"I ask you, what's going on?" Drew stood up suddenly, and threw the sunglasses in his hand to the floor, and the broken lenses splashed on the ground.
The daughter suddenly became mad and made Edico Jade jump, but then she refused to show weakness: "What are you mad at me for? It's not something you and Eric Williams have had trouble with. You bastard. My father even sued me, and now I have to pay for a lawsuit, I tell you, you have to double the money to compensate me, otherwise I won't have a lawsuit and let your bastard father take you directly All right."
"I'll just ask, did you take other people's money this time?" Drew asked in a raised voice.
Ediko Gide waved his arms excitedly and said: "What kind of money, someone will give me money, it is estimated that the money has been given to your bastard father. I haven't seen a penny. I have to pay for a lawsuit. And pay for 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, the lawyer doesn't need you to ask for it, you just need to shut up for me. Yes, don't let me know what you are doing behind your back, otherwise, I will let you know what a desolate evening scene is!"
Ediko Gide, who bent over to pick up the check on the ground, heard her daughter say that. Just as he was about to refute, but when he lowered his head and glanced at 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 reluctance to please, opened his mouth , for a while, but didn't know what to say.
Drew 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." The maid said, and hurriedly came 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 again: "During this time, you are not allowed to attend any messy parties 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 but retorted again.
Drew immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Return the check to me."
Adiko Gide subconsciously took a step back, stuffed the check into his pocket, and asked after hesitation, "How long will it take?"
"Wait for this to pass," Drew said, walking to the door and instructing the bodyguard to bring his luggage in, hang Ediko Gide in the living room, and go upstairs by himself.
In the United States, it is very rare for civil lawsuits to enter the final trial process, and more than 90% of the cases are settled before the final trial. Therefore, regarding the case of Drew's father suing Eric, Eric's legal team immediately Then privately contacted John Barrymore to try to reconcile,
However, the other party directly offered up to 10 million US dollars in compensation, which is no different from extortion. Eric's attorney, Edward Lewis, negotiated privately with John Barrymore, but the other party refused to make any concessions, and finally had to go to court.
On January 16, the third week of the turmoil, the media still used all kinds of negative information to smear Eric. At the same time, John Barrymore sued his ex-wife Edico Gilder and the famous director Eric. The case of G. Williams also opened for the first time. Early in the morning, the number of reporters outside Eric's Malibu Sharp Manor surged to more than 300, and the number of reporters at the entrance of the Los Angeles Superior Court was also not much. at this number.
Drew and his mother arrived outside the courthouse in downtown Los Angeles in a commercial van. As soon as they got out of the car, they were surrounded by swarms of reporters.
Almost at the same time, Drew's father, who often appeared in the media as a distressed father, John Barrymore also arrived at the same time. The group of reporters who saw this scene seemed to have some kind of hint, and consciously There was a way between Drew and John Barrymore.
Drew got out of the car, carried a heavy-looking satchel, walked straight through the crowd with a smile, and walked towards John Barrymore in a flash of light.
John Barrymore did not expect his daughter to take the initiative to come over. Although he appeared in the media as a loving father who felt sad for his daughter, he did not have much closeness to this baby-faced girl.
Of course, when his daughter came over, it was impossible for John Barrymore not to react. After thinking about it, John Barrymore showed a gentle smile and came to Drew at the same time, as if he wanted to give his daughter a A warm hug.
Seeing this scene, the flashing lights of the surrounding reporters became even 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. When they saw this situation, many people were keenly aware At this point, Drew Barrymore may fall to his father's side. In this case, Eric Williams will lose the lawsuit.
The father and daughter walked about a meter apart. John Barrymore smiled and opened his arms, wanting to give his daughter a hug. After all, this gesture was still 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. Without any precaution, Moore slapped the man in front of him mercilessly.
boom--
A muffled sound was accompanied by an obvious bone cracking sound, and the slabs and bricks shattered and fell to the ground. (To be continued..)
