"Shock: Hollywood star, Arican national hero, and esteed Presidential dal of Freedom recipient Martin Davis accused of coercion, victim Toni Fellman has formally filed a police report!"
"Our national hero, a rapist?"
In the Beverly Hills mansion, Stuart Townsend looked at the tabloid report and happily picked up his glass of milk, gulping down its contents.
The damn neighbor next door was finally going to have bad luck!
Once a Hollywood star gets involved in sothing like this, ninety-nine percent of the ti it's true, with hardly any exceptions.
Stuart took a bottle of champagne out of the cabinet, ready to have a drink to celebrate.
He hadn't felt this happy in a long ti.
Footsteps sounded, and Charlize Theron walked into the dining room; seeing Stuart ready to drink alcohol so early, she couldn't help but frown, "Haven't you had enough last night? Do you want to be drunk all day?"
"I saw sothing delightful and couldn't help but have a drink to celebrate," said Stuart, who had been sleeping in separate beds from Charlize after the argunt following the Cannes Film Festival. He felt even more resentful towards Martin, continuing, "Your good friend and neighbor is now a rapist. Stay away from him, don't let people think we like to be friends with rapists."
Charlize, not understanding the situation, picked up the newspaper on the dining table and saw the news. However, under those stories, she discovered another piece of news: Martin had reported to the Los Angeles Police Departnt alleging extortion by the other party before the victim filed the report.
The newspaper in her hand was "Arican News," a famous tabloid.
Charlize set it down, picked up a copy of the "Los Angeles Tis," with the front page headline split into two parts. The left half was about Martin calling the police and announcing at a press conference his willingness to undergo a DNA paternity test, and the right half was the opposing news of Toni Fellman filing a police report claiming deception and coercion.
Stuart didn't wait for halfti to open the champagne bottle, drank a glass, and heavily set the bottle on the table, saying, "He coerced soone and made her have the child, yet doesn't dare to admit it. Such a coward like Martin Davis, we should cut ties with him."
The matter was not yet settled, Charlize put down the newspaper and started eating her breakfast nonchalantly, uninterested in responding to Stuart's words.
......
Next door, in the estate, the atmosphere seed a little tense, with the servants becoming extra cautious, tiptoeing around in everything they did.
As the person involved, Martin was quite relaxed, listening to Bruce recount the latest findings from the private detective.
"Not long after this year's Oscars night, Toni left the sisterhood and began living alone in Burbank." Although it hadn't been long, his side had found out quite a bit, Bruce comnted, "One interesting thing is that around the Oscars night, Toni had worked for our community committee!"
Martin wasn't surprised; after all, in Cody Community he had seen Toni sifting through the trash with others.
Bruce continued, "She and a girl nad Aisha got the job through one of the heads of the community committee, but after Oscars night, both resigned from the community committee. After Toni disappeared, Aisha is now the leader of the sisterhood."
Martin was quick to respond, "Have soone find this Aisha."
Bruce said, "I've already sent Ivan. It shouldn't be hard to find her."
Based on the information they had, Bruce speculated, "In the Cody Community, they'd rummaged through our trash cans more than once, and because of their crazy actions, you paid extra attention to this, reminding about the condoms."
"McLain's feedback is that Toni has agreed to do the DNA paternity test." This was the most puzzling part for Martin, "Either she's a complete idiot, or she's very confident, but she doesn't seem too stupid, so why is she confident?"
Bruce replied, "Finding those things in our trashcan? Impossible!"
"There are only two n in this house, you and . If it isn't yours or mine, whose could it be?" Martin said.
Bruce asked, "The incident occurred near Oscars night, didn't you call Leonardo and Nicholson at the ti?"
"It wasn't them!" Martin was sure about that and mused, "Around Oscars night, I rember sothing happened..."
After pondering for a mont, he rembered, "Brandt from the community committee visited a few days ago, said that during the days when I won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, they had taken away Charlize Theron's neighbor's trashcan for repairs. Our trash cans are right next to theirs, could their trash have been thrown into ours during those days?"
Bruce asked, "Don't you have a bad relationship with Charlize?"
Martin took his phone and dialed Charlize's number; once she answered, he said, "Hey Sally, thanks for your concern, I'm fine and will solve this soon."
He inquired, "Can you do a favor? Around the Oscars awards ceremony this year, your trashcan was taken away by the community for repairs. Was your trash thrown into ours? No big deal, the community has reported this to , and I just want to know to give them a reply."
Charlize, next door, said, "I was away filming those days and don't know much, but give a mont, and I'll ask around."
She briefly put Martin on hold and went to find Stuart to ask about the matter.
Stuart, clearly rembering the trash bin incident, confird, "That's right, the trashcan broke and the community took it away. I temporarily dumped the trash into the neighbor's bin."
He disdainfully added, "That jerk next door is bothering us over this? Does he have a problem in his head? It was just a few days' use of his trash bin!"
Charlize, not wanting to argue with Stuart, left the room and returned Martin's call, "Those days, Stuart indeed dumped our trash into your bin, Martin, I'm sorry about this..."
"It's a minor issue, don't worry about it," Martin replied from his end.
They exchanged a few more pleasantries and hung up.
Bruce, who listened to the entire conversation, said, "Could it be the kept man from next door?"
These are just speculations, Martin thought for a mont and said, "Ask soone from the community to quietly inquire if any won went to see Stuart during those days."
Bruce replied, "Let Lily do it. She's well acquainted with several won in the community, and won tend to gossip more easily among themselves."
Martin nodded.
Bruce's phone rang at that mont. After speaking briefly, he hung up and turned to Martin, saying, "Jody has taken care of the last victim and is rushing back to Los Angeles."
Martin gently tapped his fingers on the tabletop, "Once the paternity test results co out and the dia covers it extensively, then let her publish it. Does that work?"
Bruce hesitated for a mont then resolved, "I will convince her."
Even if Martin is innocent, there will still be rumors afterwards. Although he doesn't care, once Harvey Weinstein's incident explodes, it will be a long ti before anyone else pays attention to him again.
To cover up one hot topic, the best way is to create an even hotter one.
Sounds of a car engine ca from outside, followed by a flurry of footsteps, and Elizabeth rushed into the villa, stopping at the entrance with a complex look towards Martin.
Martin rose from the sofa and explained specially, "Soone is slandering , so bastards want to ss with !"
Elizabeth quickly approached and embraced Martin, saying, "Whatever happens, I will face it with you."
Martin hugged her tightly, "I have agreed to take the paternity test and make it open to the public."
"I saw," Elizabeth said with mixed feelings, but she knew that standing by Martin's side at this mont was the wisest choice, "I will accompany you when the ti cos."
Lily ca inside from the outside, looking at Elizabeth with amusent.
So fools, when faced with such an incident, cause a stir within their own family instead of cooperating to resolve the crisis.
Soon, Thomas also arrived, informing Martin that he had contacted so dia outlets, who would follow and film the entire process.
...
Similarly in Beverly Hills, not too far away, in a luxurious mansion, Harvey Weinstein, who had just returned from England, gathered the Foot Clan mbers to discuss matters.
Quentin and Robert Rodriguez, who are relatively pure film directors, did not co.
There were four people who ca: Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck, and Matt Damon.
The latter, although brought by Ben, also ca along when he heard it would embarrass Martin.
"Now the situation is, Martin has agreed to undergo a paternity test," Ben couldn't understand, "He seems very confident the child is not related to him."
Brad Pitt said, "As far as I know, Martin has a deep relationship with the LAPD. Is it possible he wants to tamper with the test results?"
"I will contact dia outlets I'm familiar with to make sure they closely monitor the entire process!" Harvey did not ask anything else but instead was keen on pushing the matter forward. Even if there were issues, it would be Brad and the Affleck brothers' problem, not his.
If there wasn't an issue, then Martin would face huge trouble.
This was what Harvey wanted to see.
Ben and the others have co to a point of no return, he said, "We need to build montum. The paternity test must confirm the misdeeds Martin has done. We must ensure he never can raise his head again!"
Matt Damon spoke, "As long as the evidence is solid, I will also mobilize my network of contacts."
Ben nodded at him and said, "Wait for our good news."
This could be the most attention-grabbing paternity test in Arica since the turn of the new century.
On the internet, the debate over attacking and supporting Martin was in full swing.
Tabloids were frantically publishing news like "Martin Suspected of Coercion," because that's what was most eye-catching.
Major newspapers' reports were temporarily unbiased, all awaiting the results of the test.
Martin's many brand collaborators were also monitoring the progress of the incident, but had not yet taken a stand.
Companies like Warner Bros. were all keeping silent.
Many people had called Martin, to which he told them not to rush to take a stance and to wait patiently for a few days.
Similarly, to prevent any foul play during the test, Martin had also made preparations on multiple fronts, with several dia outlets set to broadcast the whole process live.
It appeared as though Martin's side was maintaining a low profile and silence, but the work was being done in advance.
Ivan found Aisha, and in the face of monetary power, Aisha surrendered.
Thomas had contacted familiar journalists, and once the results of the test were out, a press conference would be held imdiately.
