waste time.
As the housekeeper, Janet works in private and maintains her man's public image.
Therefore, women will basically collect negative news about Simon, and occasionally ask George Norman to send out some lawyers' letters or indictments.
However, Janet will habitually roll her eyes when she sees similar news.
In addition to persuading Simon to repay the society, there are also a large number of persuading donations.
In the days since the Forbes list was released, Janet in Los Angeles receives a slew of similar donation invitations every day.
Most of them are definitely ignored.
Finally, and probably what bothered Janet the most, was the confession.
For several years in a row, Simon's life experience has always been the focus of media attention.
Some people with different ideas even set up an investigation team to help Simon find his relatives, obviously trying to make a fortune after helping Simon find his parents.
Over the past few years, there have been several couples suspected of being Simon Westeros' parents who have been repeatedly hyped by the media, and these people generally have not given up their plans to recognize Simon's son.
With the release of the "Forbes" list, another couple jumped out again, appearing in the media tearfully hoping to get Simon's recognition, expressing in scorching words that they don't ask for anything, only hope to find their son.
The media is also afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
To deal with this kind of thing, Simon and Janet already have a plan, which is to turn the matter into a farce.
When someone asked to identify a relative, Janet would privately arrange for someone to do the same.
People's eyes are sharp.
Suddenly a lot of people jumped out and wanted to be Simon Westeros' parents. Isn't this a farce or something?
So once that happens, things pretty much quiet down as well.
This year it doesn't stop.
Because a couple whom Janet arranged for suddenly publicly admitted that they were paid to do so.
Of course, Janet would not be so stupid as to make arrangements in person, she would do this kind of thing through a middleman.Even the couple who jumped out had no way of knowing whose money they were getting paid for.
However, this kind of thing is obviously not difficult for imaginative media.
If someone takes money, there must be someone who pays.
If someone pays to make a couple parents in Westeros and then take advantage of it... Simon Westeros is not a fool, it is too easy to be exposed.
Well, people who want to profit from it don't use such stupid methods
Everything is motivated.
leftover.
Who else has such a motive?
This is a question worthy of study.
Chapter 437 A Statement (Revised)
Point Dume Manor.
As soon as the car stopped, Janet who was already waiting outside the villa greeted her.
Veronica Johnston stepped out of the car door, still wearing a serious black suit and black high-heeled shoes.
Her eyes subconsciously fell on Janet's bulging stomach, Veronica's habitually clear and cold face showed some softness, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be picky.
"Okay, okay, Bingshan, don't force yourself if you don't know how to laugh, it looks so strange." Janet came to Veronica, hugged her aunt affectionately, and hugged her aunt carefully. Teasing, he said again: "Also, you are finally willing to see me."
Veronica patted Janet on the back lightly, and whispered as if explaining, "I'm busy."
Janet just made a joke and didn't continue the topic. She put her arm around Veronica and turned to Shell Villa and said, "Look, Simon and I's house, isn't it beautiful?"
Veronica looked up at the building, which had actually been photographed in many magazines.
Because of the very special design style and geographical location of this villa, there has been a similar design trend in recent years.Veronica knows better that the Westeros Building in Manhattan, which is under construction, will definitely be more dazzling than the shell villa in front of her once it is completed.
Appreciating with Janet for a while, Veronica nodded and said, "It's beautiful."
Janet giggled a little smugly, and continued to hold Veronica's arm and said, "Let's go in and show you around first. Besides, I've already prepared the room for you. Stay here for two days."
Veronica shook her head and said, "I've already reserved a room at the Hilton, and all my luggage has been sent there."
"Then refund it. If you come to Los Angeles to live in a hotel instead of at home, the media will definitely make random guesses. These days are already annoying enough."
As Janet spoke, she didn't forget to turn her head and tell Neil Bennett, who picked up Veronica, to pick up her luggage at the Hilton.
Veronica hesitated for a while, thinking that Simon was not in Los Angeles in the past few days, so she didn't insist.
If not...she wouldn't come this time either.
Today is Wednesday, May 9th.
Veronica came to Los Angeles, in addition to visiting Janet, but also to deal with some MGM matters.
The two walked around the Shell Villa briefly, chatting about various recent trivia while visiting.Of course, Janet was the one talking most of the time.
Finally, I sat down on the sofa next to the glass curtain wall near the sea in the villa, and the time was still around ten o'clock in the morning.
In Los Angeles at the end of September, the sun was just right in the morning, and the view of the blue sky, white clouds and sea outside the curtain wall was even more beautiful.
Snuggling next to Veronica, Janet said: "Put aside the work, lunch is already being prepared, if you are tired, you can rest after eating, Australia is now, um, What time should it be?"
Veronica took the water glass that Miss D handed over, thanked her, and replied to Janet: "It should be around five o'clock in the morning. I slept on the plane, so I don't need to rest."
"Our 767 is very good, isn't it? It's a pity that Simon will return the day after tomorrow, and the plane will go to Europe to pick up people, otherwise we can take you back."
Veronica came here today, and after two days to finish dealing with the matter here, she will rush back to Australia on the afternoon of the 27th. Simon will return to Los Angeles from Europe around the same time.
In fact, it's okay to stagger the time a little bit.
However, neither Veronica nor Janet mentioned this issue.
The two were chatting casually when the housekeeper, Alice Ferguson, came over with a folder. After greeting Veronica, she handed the folder to Janet and said, "Mr. Norman has drafted the statement, Mrs. , if it’s okay, it can be published in the Los Angeles Times tomorrow.”
Janet opened the folder.
With the release of the new "Forbes" 400 richest people in the United States, recently there have been claims that Simon's parents want to recognize relatives.There were some small mistakes in the coping strategy that Simon and Janet had discussed at the beginning. A couple who were bribed to deliberately lead the matter to a farce tendency suddenly publicly admitted in the media that they had received money, which caused a wave of public opinion.
The imagination of the media is always very rich.
The exposure of the money-collecting couple made the whole thing look more like a farce.
However, some people question whether there are other ulterior motives behind the matter.
Although no one has tracked down who paid off the couple, Simon himself has become the subject of suspicion in some media.
After several discussions on the phone, Simon and Janet decided to make a clean break.
The basic content of this statement right now is: Simon Westeros already knows his life experience, and has handled the matter properly in private.In view of this, all those who try to identify relatives can only be impostors, and Simon Westeros will not make any response to this related matter in the future.
This statement is of course true for Simon.
Certainly Janet didn't know something, though.
Because Janet was next to her, Veronica also looked at the statement document in her hand, with a certain strange expression on her face, and looked at Janet cautiously with some trepidation.
He had asked her to keep this secret forever.
She also kept this secret tightly, even if Janet misunderstood something, she never explained it.
just now.
Did he tell Jenny?
Janet carefully read the statement in her hand twice, handed it to the housekeeper beside her and said, "No problem, let George send it."
After the housekeeper walked away, Janet looked at her aunt again, noticed the flicker in Veronica's eyes, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Veronica tried her best to calm herself down, and said nonchalantly, "Simon, has he found his parents?"
Janet shook her head, nodded again, and said: "Recently, anyway, you should know that every time the "Forbes" list is released in recent years, many people will jump out and claim to be Simon's parents, so we want to This statement just now ended the similar farce. In fact, I think Simon should know who his parents are, but he refused to tell me. Moreover, he must have had a bad life when he was a child, and he didn’t recognize his parents at all. plan."
Veronica actually didn't want her family to know certain things.
However, when she heard that Simon didn't tell Janet, she suddenly became a little worried and said, "Jenny, is he treating you well?"
Janet picked up the small fruit plate that Girl D had just brought over from the coffee table in front of her, and ate the fruit with a fork. Hearing this, she blinked a few times and said with a smile, "Of course."
"Then," Veronica pointed to Janet's stomach, and said, "Is he still going to Europe this time?"
"After pregnancy, as long as he is in Los Angeles, he will come back from get off work on time at five o'clock every day to accompany me. He rarely left work before six o'clock before. There is no way to go to Europe this time. The project of "Wonder Woman" is very important to Dani. Liz entertainment is very important."
Janet explained, then leaned over and rubbed against her aunt, and said, "Well, although there will be some outrageous thoughts, it's really good to me. Bingshan, you, um...you just need to stay away from him One point is enough, don't let him succeed, or it will be too bad."
Because she didn't know the reason, Janet was sure that Simon had inappropriate thoughts about her aunt.
At other times, I was still used to calling Veronica 'Bingberg', a habit from childhood to adulthood, how could it be easy to change in a short time.However, just to remind a certain guy, she is now calling Veronica 'Auntie' on purpose in front of him.
But, it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Occasionally, Janet would also think, if someone really got his way, what should I do if I change it myself?
An argument?
She doesn't have this attribute in her bones at all, and she won't make a scene with others.
Beat him up?
too light.
What's more, considering the physique of my man, even if he doesn't fight back, she probably won't have much effect unless he uses a guy.
kill him?
Well, I can't bear it.
Divorce him?
have not thought.
cold war?
This is too lethal.
She even felt that if this kind of thing really happened, it didn't seem that serious?
Veronica had already explained it last night, seeing Janet started talking nonsense again, she could only stare at her helplessly, but said no more, just pretending that she didn't hear it.
At 11 o'clock, Miss D came to remind me that lunch was ready.
After lunch, although she said that she had already rested on the plane, Veronica was sent by Janet to take a nap in the arranged room.
I just slept for more than an hour, and it was less than two o'clock in the afternoon when I woke up.
Coming downstairs, Janet was talking on the phone with Simon in Italy in a sea-facing living room on the east side of the villa hall.
Sitting quietly by the side and listening to Janet and Simon talking, it seemed that it was more than ten o'clock in the night on the Italian side, and the other side was obviously very patient, so I felt relieved.
The crew of "Wonder Woman" was recently stationed in Naples in southern Italy.
Naples is also a metropolis with a long history in Italy. The famous ancient city of Pompeii is on the outskirts of Naples. There are also many architectural relics from the ancient Greek and Roman periods near the city, which is just suitable as a paradise island.
Simon stayed in Venice for one night and rushed to Naples the next day.
In the following week, I personally followed up the filming of "Wonder Woman".
In order to match Simon's schedule, the crew specially arranged an important battle scene for this week, that is, the battle where the German army followed Steve to Paradise Island and encountered the Amazons.
After successive films such as "Batman: Beginning of War", "Batman: The Dark Knight", "The Flash" and other films, the strength of the behind-the-scenes team cultivated by Daenerys Entertainment has been fully demonstrated in this scene.
The main reason why the series of films in the original time and space of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still very brilliant without the control of a big-name director is the strong behind-the-scenes action special effects team.
Simon took this very seriously from the beginning.
Not only that, the director Martin Campbell selected by Simon for "Wonder Woman" is also stronger than the new directors promoted by the Marvel Cinematic Universe in memory.
Although for Hollywood, the three people Simon chose in the first place, Jane de Bont of the "Batman" series, Martin Campbell of the "Wonder Woman" series and Roland Emmerich of the "Superman" series are only Can be regarded as a rookie or second-line director.
However, only Simon himself knew that the potential of these people far exceeded those real newcomer directors in memory.
After considering elements such as personal style in advance, several directors also cherished the opportunity, and none of them dared to act arbitrarily.
Therefore, from "Batman: The Dark Knight" to this "Wonder Woman", or counting Warner's "The Flash" that will be released at the end of the year, the three films, the success of "Batman: The Dark Knight" has already It has been proved that the shooting results of the other two films also met Simon's expectations.
