America Tycoon: The Wolf of Showbiz-Chapter 555 - 548 The Pot Comes from the Sky
When the DNA mismatch result was announced, Jolie and Aniston relaxed at the same time in the hotel, embracing and laughing together.
Jolie pinched Aniston and said, "Martin, that bastard, always makes us take the fall, how could he casually give it to some random woman!"
Aniston said, "Let me think of a way to make that woman look ridiculous!"

"Right, we can’t let her off, she almost made me make a mistake." Jolie started to say but then caught herself, adding, "With Martin’s way of doing things, he won’t let her off easy."
With Martin cleared of this issue, Aniston’s thoughts wandered to another matter: "Angie, I seem to remember you saying you were bullied by Harvey Weinstein when you were a girl?"
Jolie was reminded of an extremely unpleasant memory: "Yes, I’ve always wanted justice."
"Now’s your chance," Aniston murmured.
.........
In Beverly Hills, Stuart, who had been enjoying the drama, was stunned. How could it have nothing to do with Martin?
Since it involved a friend and neighbor, Charlize was also watching the live broadcast and couldn’t help but shake her head with a laugh.
These girls, driven mad by money!
The live broadcast ruined Stuart’s good mood, and seeing Charlize laughing happily, he got angry and said, "There’s foul play in this paternity test! Definitely foul play!"
He was somewhat irate: "Martin Davis must have bribed these people!"
Charlize sighed to herself, suddenly at a loss as to why she had fallen for him in the first place, and why she had persisted for so many years.
She got up and left the room, stepping into the quiet courtyard to think alone.
After Martin’s call, Charlize had asked the community committee about the damage to the trash bins, all of which turned out to be vandalism.
No surprise, it was likely Stuart who kicked them in.
Not only did he kick in his own, but he also did the same to Martin’s next door, embarrassing himself into the neighbor’s yard.
.........
In another hotel room, Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck, and Brad Pitt looked at each other in disbelief.
"How could this be?" Pitt couldn’t believe it.
Casey shouted, "It must be Martin’s doing!"
Big Ben just shook his head: "There must be a mistake somewhere; Martin has a good relationship with the LAPD. He has tens of millions of dollars in assets, it’s too easy for him to bribe people."
Pitt said, "Let’s think of a solution later, we..."
He didn’t finish his sentence, stopping because the live broadcast had taken a significant turn.
In the hall, Aisha ran up to Tony and shouted, "We made a promise, sisters never betray each other, how could you do this?"
The outspoken girl wished she could tear Tony’s mouth apart: "You left without answering our calls, we’ve been so worried, we even sent sisters to look for you in your hometown. And what did you do? What did you do, huh!"
Security staff quickly came over to maintain order.
A reporter loudly asked, "What happened between you?"
"Excuse me, do you know who is the father of the child?"
"What is your relationship with Tony?"
The scene descended into chaos, but Martin was well prepared.
To be exact, Bruce was well prepared; with his fearless dedication, he successfully convinced Jody.
Jody "snatched" a microphone from a staff member and shouted, "Quiet down, everyone, quiet down!"
The scene quickly fell silent.
Jody then said, "It’s too chaotic; no one can ask anything. Miss, can you talk about your relationship with Tony and why you say she betrayed you?"
Someone ran over and handed a microphone to Aisha.
Tony’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly shouted, "Aisha, we’re good sisters! The closest sisters!"
The first time Aisha saw Tony holding a child and looking for Martin on the news, she no longer recognized Tony as her sister.
"Last year, we formed a sister group because of our love for Martin and Joker, often appearing at Martin’s various events. Martin’s charm is so overwhelming, we dreamed of marrying him, even bearing his children..."
Aisha recounted the outrageous things the sister group did in Los Angeles and New York, gradually coming to the crucial point: "We got jobs at the community committee in the Sunset Boulevard North District, always watching Martin’s trash bins, but we never found what we were looking for."
The reporters were a bit stunned, even for them, worldly as they were, they were floored by the antics of these women.
Was that even a thing?
Eliza felt relieved beyond measure, thankful that every time, she had disposed of everything Martin had left; if it had been thrown in the trash, it would probably have been very troublesome.
"Enough! Enough!" Tony screamed, "Stop talking! I told you to stop!"
From her near-hysterical demeanor, the reporters could infer that everything Aisha said was true, and that it hit her sore spot.
As deep as the sisterly love was at first, now the hatred for betrayal was just as profound.
Aisha didn’t care what Tony said and continued, "It was Tony, she said Martin winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor would definitely lead to a celebration, so she swapped shifts specially, and early in the morning after Oscar night, she took me to Martin’s trash bin, and sure enough, we found a used condom with genetic material inside."
She spoke so urgently she coughed twice but went on, "We took it back to the apartment we rented, then injected it into ourselves; I failed, but Tony said she was going home. I believed her, but it turned out she was hiding after succeeding!"
The other two girls shouted, "Bitch! You promised to share it with us!"
Then, they cursed Aisha, "You’re also a bitch, doing these things behind our backs!"
"The stuff came from Martin’s trash!" one reporter quickly thought, "Since it’s not Martin’s, it must come from someone in Martin’s house."
This statement reminded many people around, and their gazes uniformly shifted, landing on Bruce.
Tony’s eyes lit up again, it didn’t matter that it wasn’t Martin’s, it would be good even if it was Bruce’s.
Bruce, that bastard, was prepared and took out a paternity test, shouting, "Just now, I also did a comparison, no match whatsoever!"
A notary confirmed, "Indeed, that’s the case."
The situation developed too bizarrely, Leonardo and Nicholson, who were initially enjoying the show, quickly sneaked into the back of the crowd to avoid becoming suspects.
Even though they knew it wasn’t them, getting involved at this time would also be troublesome.
The scene was completely chaotic, even Tony was confused, who in the world is my son’s father?
"Could it be some homeless person used it and threw it in there?"
"The North District of Sunset Boulevard is a gated community, homeless can’t get in, I suspect someone had a quickie there!"
"No matter who the child’s father is, it can now be confirmed it’s not Martin."
"Tony, what do you have to say about this?"
The reporters pressed step by step, and Tony kept retreating, finding it difficult to answer for a moment.
But then, recalling her trump card, she held up the child in her hands, "I need to feed the baby, I need to feed the baby."
Seeing the woman lifting up the child, the reporters automatically made way.
Tony quickly ran into a resting room on the side, and before she could catch her breath, the door on the other side of the resting room opened, and a girl in a short coat entered.
The girl was very pretty, but her eyes were as fierce as a starving wolf.
At the door leading to the hall from the resting room, two LAPD officers stood guard, not allowing others to enter.
Tony was extremely guilty at that moment, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Lily said, "Let’s talk about something. You go out and publicly admit you slandered Martin, apologize to him, and then confess to the Los Angeles police who’s been inciting you behind the scenes, I can tell you who your child’s father is."
Tony couldn’t even be sure herself and didn’t believe it, "How would you know?"
"Not only do I know, but I can also assure he’s a celebrity," Lily said softly, "You want money, don’t you? You want to live a high-society life, right? He can satisfy all your needs."
She snickered, "Of course, you have another choice. You tried to extort 10 million US dollars, that’s a serious crime! And you tried to extort a Los Angeles honorary citizen, an American national hero—you know how severe the consequences are? You’re directly slapping the face of Los Angeles City Government and the Washington authorities!"
Tony hadn’t thought about all these and was stunned for a moment.
But she quickly realized—extortion of 10 million US dollars? Did I do that? Oh God!
Lily continued, "You will go to jail, your child will be sent to foster care—do you know how miserable the life of a foster child can be?"
Tony looked down at Johnny and asked, "What if I do as you say?"
Lily said, "You are a fan of Martin, and he is always lenient towards his fans. He knows you were influenced by others to do these things—it’s all because of them, right?"
Her words were simple enough for Tony to understand. Thinking of Ben and Cassie, her heart wavered a bit.
Johnny started to cry again at that moment. For a mother, choosing between her son and her friends wasn’t difficult.
Tony clenched her teeth, "How can I trust you?"
"I can give you a clue about the father of the child first," Lily said malevolently, like a fallen angel from hell.
Yesterday, she gathered a lot of information from the community committee about Stuart. Knowing that women often went to Charlize Theron’s house looking for him and combining what was determined at Martin’s end, it wasn’t hard to make a guess close to the truth.
Tony had no choice but, after hesitating, said, "Okay, I’ll do it!"
Lily said, "His name is Stuart Townsend, Martin’s neighbor, also Charlize Theron’s fiancé, and he’s also a star in Hollywood."
Tony had worked at the community committee before, "Is it him?"
"The trash bag you rummaged through was thrown in by him," Lily concluded, "Think about it, if you go to jail, all this will be meaningless."
After feeding Johnny, Tony didn’t linger and went straight out of the resting room.
The media was still not dispersed and was all crowded around.
Tony’s hands were shaking, yet she turned to face Martin’s side and bowed deeply, gathering all her strength to say, "I’m so sorry! Martin, you’re a good man, I shouldn’t have framed you."
She glanced at the child in her arms, straightened her back, and said, "Johnny has nothing to do with you. I was incited and pressured by others into doing this, it was not my intention."
Now that the party involved had admitted to framing Martin, there was no more suspense.
A nearby reporter asked loudly, "Do you know who the child’s father is?"
"I had a suspicion, it should be Martin’s neighbor," said Tony, not wanting to go to jail, not wanting to lose her son, and wanting to live an affluent life. It was like being pushed by Ben, easily swayed by Lily’s pushing.
She gave the answer, "His name is Stuart Townsend!"
Stuart Townsend, watching the live show and eating popcorn at home, was dumbfounded.
Trouble comes when least expected!
