Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 496 - 403 Withdrawal from the Market_3

Jennifer was dressed in a white tee and denim shorts, her long legs on full display, yet her attire was understated.

However, in the recent rumblings within the circle, Jennifer's name had come up far too frequently, drenched in gossip, to the point where even fellow artists at her agency were questioned.

Just a while ago, Jennifer had been filming "Silver Linings Playbook" and rarely visited the office. She had wanted to confirm some gossip with Jennifer but couldn't find her, and now that she had finally run into her, she couldn't let the opportunity slip away.

"Hey, Jennifer, got a moment? How about a cold drink in my office?"

Emma Stone waved enthusiastically as she called out.

"Emma, what's up? I have to head to the club for archery practice soon."

Jennifer Lawrence stopped in her tracks and asked.

"Are you preparing for the lead role in 'The Hunger Games'?"

Emma had read the novel, where the protagonist, Katniss, was portrayed as strong, brave, skilled in both arts and combat, and a bit cold in her demeanor.

It wasn't quite her style, otherwise she would have tried for it too.

In contrast, Jennifer Lawrence, with her slightly chubby cheeks and stern expression, was more suitable—she had that soft-on-the-outside but tough-on-the-inside look.

"Yes, the film starts shooting in June. There's limited time, and I need to get ready in advance."

Jennifer said.

"Congratulations! 'The Hunger Games' is a fantastic film."

Emma smiled.

"Thanks!"

Jennifer managed a weak smile.

Emma Stone actually wanted to ask about Link's purchase of Lionsgate Films.

But seeing Jennifer's low spirits and lack of desire to chat, and considering their relationship wasn't close enough to joke around, she had no choice but to curb her curiosity. She waved goodbye to Jennifer Lawrence and headed back to her office to read a new script, hoping to land another role.

Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Emma leave.

Today, she had come to the company to sign a performing contract, and her biggest fear was being surrounded by colleagues asking about Link buying Lionsgate Films for her.

Recently, Link's acquisition of Lionsgate had been Hollywood's biggest news, even surpassing Schwarzenegger having a child with his housekeeper.

She had appeared frequently in related news where every mention of Link's motives for buying Lionsgate included his conflict with Harvey Weinstein, which had started because of her.

There were reports that Link, in a fit of anger, had splurged eight hundred million US Dollars to buy Lionsgate to defend her.

It was also said that Link, a playboy, had incurred a loss of eight hundred million US Dollars because of a woman.

These reports got her a lot of attention and also brought a lot of pressure. Last week, when Link spent the night at her place, she had urged him to be more cautious and not act impulsively.

Link had told her not to worry, to focus on preparing for her film role, and to ignore everything else.

Jennifer didn't know how much of Link's purchase of Lionsgate was for her sake, but Link standing up for her and not allowing anyone to bully her was certainly true.

She was deeply touched; Link was gentle, considerate, and trustworthy. She felt very secure with him, and meeting him felt like a stroke of luck.

"Jennie, why are you coming down so late? Were you caught up with people asking for gossip?"

At the company front, her cousin and executive agent, Clausen, asked from inside the car.

"No, I ran into Emma Stone and chatted briefly."

Jennifer got into the car and blew air conditioning toward herself. By April, Los Angeles was getting warmer, and even a short walk would make one sweat.

"You should try to appear in public places less frequently, or just keep a cold face like you did just now, showing no desire to talk. If you exhibit even a slight 'feel free to chat' vibe, those women will drown you with those rumors."

Clausen started the car and laughed.

Jennifer shrugged nonchalantly, her plump legs propped up on the seat.

"If they want to ask, I've nothing to hide. Link's purchase of Lionsgate Films was for me. Even if not entirely, it started because of me, and I'm not embarrassed to admit it."

"Are you proud of that?"

Ms. Clausen teased.

"Of course, I think there will be many women envious and jealous of me in this matter."

Jennifer smiled faintly, unfolding the script on her lap.

"Yes, ordinary women would be happy with a gift worth a thousand or two US dollars, while Link spent seven to eight hundred million US Dollars for you, which indeed makes other women jealous."

However, Link's actions are still very risky. He's an outsider who barged into Hollywood to invest in a major film production company. Now, many in the industry discuss when Lionsgate will go bankrupt, eager to laugh at you and Link's expense," Ms. Clausen said.

Jennifer mindlessly read the script, pondering her words before responding, "Don't worry, Link isn't the type to act rashly. He has his reasons for purchasing Lionsgate. He did well in boxing and music before, so he's unlikely to perform poorly in films. I trust him."

Ms. Clausen glanced at her through the rear-view mirror, "Are you falling more and more for Link?"

Jennifer shrugged, "Yes, I've realized that if I can overlook his womanizing, everything else about him is a plus—he's handsome, powerful, wealthy, with good character. Now, he's the chairman of a large independent film company. Whether it's physically, emotionally, or career-wise, he can support and satisfy me."

Such a man, I can't help but be captivated by him. I believe if I were to leave Link now, there would be thousands of women in Hollywood ready to throw themselves at him and take my place."
