Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 608 - 453: Discussing Countermeasures
Alfred's Café is one of the upscale coffee houses in Beverly Hills, decorated in a high-end classic style, filled with an artistic atmosphere.
The café boasts all of the world's top coffee beans as well as exquisite hand-crafted coffee-making skills, deeply adored by many celebrities in Beverly Hills.
In the afternoon's brilliant Los Angeles sunshine, the café's display windows were so clear that they sparkled, the air thick with the rich aroma of coffee, and even without drinking any, sitting in the café one could experience the taste of various premium coffees.
Taylor rested her chin on her hands, watching Ivanka across from her elegantly stirring her coffee, adding a little coconut milk, then gracefully taking a sip with her delicate fingers, savouring the drink with beautifully poised rose-tinted lips, her movements natural and fluid, her demeanor calm and content, unhurried.
Her gestures, combined with her looks and temperament, made it so that even if she were drinking plain water, it would seem delicious, irresistibly prompting others to order the same to try for themselves.
Suddenly, Taylor felt that losing to her in Link's eyes was not unjust in the slightest.
Such a woman embodied nearly all the virtues of the feminine, not to mention that a womanizer like Link would be captivated, even she, another woman, couldn't help but take several more glances and even longed to be close to her. It was a very peculiar feeling.
"Taylor, do you have any more questions for me?"
Ivanka set down her coffee cup, her long eyelashes fluttering as she looked across at Taylor.
"There are many, but right now what I want to know is, do you have any way to minimize the negative impact of this situation?"
"What's the plan?"
"The company's PR department is having a meeting, preparing to come up with a strategy to mitigate the impact of the incident, but after giving it much thought, aside from coming clean to the media and publicly admitting the mistake, there's not much of a good approach since to the public, this is a severe breach of trust," Taylor said.
Ivanka nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and offered three suggestions.
First, to leak the news of the child's existence before the media does, bringing the child back into the public eye.
Then she would make a public apology, sparking widespread debate, and guide the public discourse to shift attention. After the public vents their negative emotions, the fervor would gradually subside.
This is a method commonly used by celebrities in handling crisis events, often effective because it's regularly employed.
The advantage is that one can copy the solution and avoid major mistakes.
The drawback is its unpredictability.
Currently, she is very popular in the entertainment industry; even a change of hairstyle can be discussed by the media for days, let alone hiding a child.
If handled this way, the matter is bound to become the most explosive news in the entertainment circle of 2011, and the outcome may exceed expectations, with potential setbacks also possibly being larger than anticipated.
The second suggestion is to stall. Again, due to her high popularity and influence, a more tempered approach to deal with the issue would be to delay.
If Taylor is willing, before the exposure of the child, she could entrust the child to someone else for care. In response to media inquiries, adopt a denial stance, and the matter would become trivial gossip, not affecting her career.
After a few years, when her career stabilizes, she could then admit her mistakes publicly, and the impact would be less significant.

This suggestion was rejected by Taylor; hiding the child initially was due to her lack of careful consideration, and now that she recognized her mistake, she did not want to continue it.
She also loved Alexander and Cynthia too much to let someone else raise them.
"Taylor, you're only 22 this year, single and unmarried, yet with two children and a busy career. With your current situation, it's not suitable to raise the children yourself.
Now, while the children are young, they can be looked after by nannies and servants. But as they grow, start walking and talking, calling daddy and mommy, you will face more issues to consider.
What if a future boyfriend doesn't accept the children, or if the parent-teacher meeting at school coincides with your concert, which will you choose? As far as I understand, you're someone with a strong career drive," Ivanka spoke slowly.
Taylor furrowed her light brows in thought, then resolutely stuck to her decision, refusing to let anyone else raise her children.
"Eva, your speculations are correct, but they're also just predictions. My mother says life isn't as simple as we think; every day is actually full of grandeur, and as long as we get used to the storms, we'll grow stronger and have enough confidence to face every unknown challenge. I'm not afraid of challenges."
"You're right, what I mean is, Link and I could raise Alexander and Cynthia. Link is a gentle and meticulous man, his care for the children won't be any less than yours.
Although I'm not sure if I can be a qualified mother, I'll do my best. With us taking care of the children, you can focus on work, date freely.
Visit the children when you have time; you're still their mother, and I won't fight with you over them.
And regarding this incident, it will be Link and I who take responsibility. Link and I are not entirely part of the entertainment industry; such an affair will have less impact on us," Ivanka explained.
Taylor looked at her strangely, pursing her thin lips, "Eva, have you really come to help me solve the problem, not just to help Link take the children?"
Ivanka shook her head slightly, her hand on her abdomen, her radiant face showing a different kind of tenderness.
"I can feel a life growing inside me, and maybe soon, I too will have a child. I don't need to take yours, and because of this, I will be thinking more about the children's matters recently."
