Chapter 125 This is the plan

Adrian knew what she was thinking and what the situation was like. In fact, this was originally something he had indulged.

After all, as a well-known media, People are different from those tabloids when reporting gossip and scandals. If the negative news involved has a significant impact on celebrities, they will notify the other party a few days in advance to make them ready for the response. This was the case when Us Weekly reported on Lily's incident.

So Adrian had already learned the content before the report came out. As the chairman of AC Media's board of directors, the treatment he received was naturally different from that of ordinary celebrities.

But he didn't care, he just implyed that the standard involved was better to be smaller, so the current report of "People" came into being, and the current situation was also revealed.

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that this is something he has indulged, and the reason for this is because Adrian has his own considerations.

Don't worry, Jesse, I've watched it all the time, although I didn't make a correspondence.He said to Jessica with a smile, and could press the stop button at any time.

After pausing, he continued to speak, and his smile also brought a reassuring feeling: I know what you are thinking, Jesse, don't worry, wait until Mary can run around the ground in two or three years, and then take her to see your parents. No matter how unhappy Mr. Alba is not happy, he doesn't like to dislike each other, no...oh!

As he was talking, Mary in her arms began to play naughty again, and opened her mouth and bit her face. Adrian could fully feel the little guy's teeth moving up and down, as if she really wanted to bite her.

Don't be stunned, help me.Adrian couldn't push his daughter hard, so he could only shout to Jessica next to him.

Jessica was stunned for a few seconds, then laughed. After hearing Adrian ask him to help, she not only stood there but also clapped her hands: Beautiful job, Mary.

Her joyful look made her look quite sweet, and Jessica was essentially a playful young girl.

Perhaps it was an illusion, Adrian always felt that after Mary received her mother’s encouragement...

The biting was even more intense, but when he wanted to convince Jessica to help, the doorbell suddenly rang, and the young unmarried mother took the opportunity to open the door and slipped out, making Adrian roll her eyes.

OK, little guy, you should have bitten enough.

Adrian, who finally got rid of his daughter's mouth, walked out while pinching her little face. Are you a puppy?You were not born in the Year of the Dog.

Mary giggled as she stuck out her tongue, not understanding what her father was saying at all, and then she heard Jessica exclaim from the door, followed by a man's voice: Surprise!

Adrian raised his eyebrows and walked over with his daughter in his arms. Then he saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man hugging Jessica enthusiastically, and Jessica looked at Adrian in panic.

Before Adrian could react, the young man noticed Jessica's strangeness and looked over there.

He was stunned at first, a little confused. Why did a man appear here with a child holding a child, but after he recognized who the man was, he thought of the entertainment headlines these days and opened his eyes wide.

Although it was a bit incredible, he did instantly grasp the truth of the matter. Perhaps every younger brother with a harmonious family relationship would be as insightful about his sister's life.

That's right, the young man who broke in by this surprise was Jessica's younger brother, Joshua Alba.

Jay...Jesse...Sister...You...Joshua looked at Adrian, then his sister, and stuttered for a while without saying a complete sentence.

He finally found a way to learn from others that his sister had rented an apartment here. In addition, Jessica would inevitably show some unusual joy when she came home. He concluded that his sister already had a boyfriend. After recovering from the blow, Joshua immediately came to the door to expose his sister. Unexpectedly, what he saw was such a picture.

What's wrong, Joshua, is there anything you have to do?

Jessica reluctantly smiled and wanted to struggle for a while, but Adrian broke her hope in one sentence: See who is coming, Mary, that's mom's younger brother.

Mary opened her eyes wide in curiosity and looked at Joshua. After a moment, she suddenly waved her arms happily and shouted with her big tongue: Mom, Mom, Mom.

Look, Joshua, Mary likes you very much.Adrian said immediately.

Sister...Sister, this is all... This is all... Joshua raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at Adrian and Mary, still unable to say a complete sentence.

I...I can explain Joshua... Jessica sighed helplessly, then turned her head and glared at Adrian fiercely. I will explain to you in a quiet room.

She said this, so Adrian naturally took his daughter to avoid it. Then, it took only ten minutes for Jessica to make the whole thing clear.

The whole process was not complicated. It was just that I met Adrian, then attracted to him, and then had a relationship. As a result, I was accidentally shot. Under Adrian's promise, she gave birth to the child.

Of course, in Joshua's ears, these are no less than waves of thunder.

No wonder you used all kinds of excuses to not go home for a while... Mom was quite unhappy about this for a while... Joshua said in a daze.

Sorry, Joshua.Jessica shrugged helplessly, "You know what kind of reaction my dad would have if he knew about this, I dare not... nor can I...

So you live with Adrian?

Joshua had a dark face, a little unbelievable and a little bit gritted his teeth. You should know that my sister is only 20 years old!

I am only 20 years old but I have a child who is about to be 2 years old. This is simply...

Do you know that he is a playboy, that his rumors are almost true, and that he has another child, have you not read the recent entertainment news?Joshua said hurriedly.

I know, Joshua, I know all of this.Jessica calmed down at this time, and I know more than you, his woman, his child.

Then you... Joshua made gestures, not knowing what expression to face his sister.

I... Jessica pursed her lips. I thought it was good. Ed was very nice to me. He never made me angry. He would coax me on the phone even if he was not around and tried his best to arrange suitable roles for me. I felt very safe with him, and... I would never let Mary leave me.

He threatens you?Joshua only listened to the last sentence.

Joshua!

Jessica shouted angrily, but her heart trembled slightly.

When she was helpless in seeking help because she was pregnant, Adrian gave her a deep impression, especially those three conditions that made her unable to resist. This was probably one of the reasons why she always obediently stayed by his side.

Of course, Jessica knew this. Although she was not very smart, after the Penelope incident passed, she still clearly saw this. Adrian used Penelope as a warning and played a great role.

However, this is also related to his attitude towards women. As Jessica said, although she would be jealous, uneasy, and dissatisfied with all his things, she had never been very angry, and these negative emotions did not last long, so she had gradually begun to get used to all this and not to care about certain things.

This is my choice, Joshua.Jessica said at the end, I have the right to choose my life, I hope you don’t tell your parents about this for the time being, okay?

Joshua opened his mouth, probably trying to ask her when she would tell her parents, but in the end she didn't ask, just sighed: I want to talk to Adrian, talk alone.

Adrian naturally had nothing to do with this request. Even if Joshua didn't do this, he would take the initiative to make it.

Try it, I cook it.

Adrian brought a cup of coffee to Joshua. In private, I like to do some housework by myself, which is a great feeling, especially when someone is with me.

Joshua picked up the cup and put it down, looking at him and asked unceremoniously: Don't you think this is bad, Adrian?

I have to say that young people are impulsive. If they were someone else, even if they were unhappy, they would not question Adrian like this.

Of course, Adrian would not care about these things, but just smiled slightly: What aspect do you mean?

Do you need to say anything else?Joshua spread his hands, you are a playboy, Adrian, you have an affair with so many women, and now you are hooking up with my sister...

Hook-up is not a good word. Joshua, Jesse and I were in love with each other at the time.Adrian interrupted straightforwardly.

Joshua, who was held back, coughed dryly, swallowed his saliva and continued unyieldingly: Okay, even so, it would be fine if it was just a one-night stand, but you made her bigger and gave birth to her...

Do you have to have an abortion if you don’t give birth?Adrian interrupted him again.

Joshua glared at him, and after a while he let out his breath, his tone became much softer: Why do you do it, Adrian?Before this, I always admired you, but... why did you want to occupy Jesse?Can you make my sister happy?

Happiness is a feeling, a very personal feeling. When a person thinks he is very happy now, she may not be happy at all in the eyes of others.

Adrian smiled softly, you are not your sister, Joshua, you are not sure whether she is happy or unhappy.Of course, I don't know either, so I can only observe as much as possible and give her everything she wants.

He said, sitting upright, looking at Joshua without blinking: I know what you want to say, Joshua, but as a man, especially a powerful man, pursuing beautiful women is born with nature. When you were in Wendell's bar, didn't you have a lot of fun with those two girls?

The young man suddenly blushed. He had a lot of ridiculous chatting with two girls in the bar that time, and then left and played with the threesomes together, which was one of his few ridiculous things, but...

How did he know?

By this time, after being interrupted twice, Joshua, who had accumulated a lot of momentum, suddenly realized that the man in front of him was not an ordinary person. Speaking of which, it was not unrelated to him that he could get a few good roles in popular TV series.

But...but...Joshua began to lack confidence.

I am indeed fickle and I am indeed very playful. I never deny this, but I am not a person who likes to escape problems. As long as it is my responsibility, I will take it on, such as Mary.

Adrian said in a calm and sincere tone, "There is no doubt that she is my child and she is my treasure." I will not let her be hurt. I hope she can grow up healthily and happily."

He said as he adjusted his sitting position, and his slightly leaning forward made him look more credible: You should have read the entertainment news during this period, Joshua?I can make it clear to you here that Lily is my child, which is why I have never responded, and I can't deny my child, but if I admit it, what will Mary do in the future?Where is Jesse?

After all, Joshua is still a young boy. Although he was keenly aware of what was going on before, it was because he cared about his sister.

Now he was only questioning with anger, and he did not have such meticulous logical thinking ability for a while. He was soon speechless by Adrian changing his concepts and avoiding the important things.

You should also understand Jesse's attitude. I can't say that I'm all in her mind, but I try to make her feel happy, protect her from hurt, and let her do something.If she gets tired of this kind of life one day, such as if she hates me, she can explain it to me and leave, and I will never stop her.

Adrian said immediately.

Of course, he once ignored the fact that Natalie broke her promise and did not mention Mary's belonging.

But Joshua could not have thought of these, and was suppressed by Adrian and beaten, so he could only temporarily recognize them in dejected manner.

This accident was temporarily resolved. However, although Joshua promised not to tell his parents about this and would hide it for Jessica when necessary, it is hard to say whether he can grasp the words at other times. After all, there is no one who knows Adrian deeply. In the crew of "The Matrix", Deva and Juliet no longer know how many times they called Adrian's father and Sophie and Monica's mother, but no news has been circulated so far, because the old people are working together.

However, this is one of Adrian's plans. Joshua's arrival was indeed an accident, but he has been thinking about how to better control the current storm and let it move forward according to his own ideas. Joshua's appearance happened to be a coincidence and could be used.

From the day Lily was exposed, Adrian knew that some things were sooner or later. After all, it was an era of entertainment until death. Entertainment journalists had extraordinary persistence in exploring the privacy of celebrities.

If Adrian is just behind the scenes, no one will risk being unable to get along with him, but the problem is that he still has one foot in the front desk and the halo of director Miracle is shining brightly, then he must abide by the rules of the game.

However, with his status and power, he can use the rules to maximize his service to himself, but this time it is a dilemma.

If you admit that Lily is her daughter, what about Deva, Juliet, Mary, Eleanor and others in the future?

You should know that American society as a whole still tends to be conservative. Although there are few real Puritans now, that attitude towards life is still strongly promoted by mainstream society.

Although many wealthy people also have many illegitimate children, Schwarzenegger, who is ready to enter California Governor, is about a few years old, but one thing is one thing, and being exposed is another. After all, Adrian cannot control all the media.

The uncle didn't teach him a lesson on this issue. If it weren't for Lily, Deva and Juliet who were really likable, his attitude would definitely be even more severe than it is now.

But it would be impossible not to admit it. Adrian promised Kate that he would not deny his child. He said the same thing. Although he was a bastard and a playboy, he would never escape the responsibilities he should have and what he promised. His words to Joshua were not just sayings.

Besides, he has more than one child. Doesn’t he disappoint Kate and Monica and the others?

What's more, as her women win the best actress one by one, and if they get pregnant one by one, they have children, Adrian will never refuse, but the media will not notice the trick. So what at that time?

After thinking about it, Adrian finally came up with a solution to turn this matter into an open secret.

Simply put, everyone knows that Lily and the children afterwards are his, but no one will mention it publicly.

So he let "People" report, and even pushed it behind him, then carefully guided public opinion, did not admit it or deny it, and waited until the time was right to kill a chicken for monkeys, and then let someone secretly spread his ideas.

He was originally considering this candidate, but Joshua ran into the door and let him take on the role. Anyway, Jessica's incident will be exposed for two or three years.

Of course, the most important thing in the entire plan is the cooperation of other media groups. As mentioned earlier, Adrian cannot control all media.

But this is the easiest point, because he does this to give someone a handle.

No one doesn't like it, including Lei Shidong. This is equivalent to having the capital to bargain with AC Media or Adrian, which can make them feel relieved.

For Adrian, this didn't take it seriously at all. Doing so seems passive, but in fact it doesn't matter much.

Even if they threw out the handle due to certain circumstances and it made a big fuss, it was only his personal reputation. If it was really not possible, they would resign from the board of directors. Everyone knows that Claude is nominally the vice chairman of the board of directors, but often half of the chairman is considered, even if Adrian resigns, it will not have much impact on the group.

Moreover, Adrian always holds more than 30% of AC Media's shares. Whoever uses this trick to deal with Adrian will face a crazy counterattack from AC Media.

It’s no big deal to make a small sacrifice for your own women. Besides, you can also make a gesture and tell other media groups: Look, I have no intention of being enemies with you.

However, this approach is based on strength. In vulgar terms, put Dandan on someone else's hand while pushing a pistol on the other person's head.

Without this pistol, it would be a search for death.

In short, everything goes as planned, although there are also surprises, such as the current situation in the media is a bit too much, such as Joshua breaks into his sister's house and meets Mary, but this has no impact.

But Adrian never expected that Lily could be like this...

Very domineering!
