Chapter 237
Since the last time she fought with Mattie in Karl’s villa and suffered a loss, Anya also kept an account on Alyssa, and hated her even more.
She saw Alyssa’s expressionless face, and she glanced at her and looked away with disdain.
The conflict between Gerald and Karl also escalated due to the termination of the contract.
None of the four took the initiative to care about anyone.
The atmosphere in the hall has become stagnant and annoying.
Alyssa was uncomfortable. Looking at Karl, there was no abnormality on his face. He even reached out and picked out a few large macadamia nuts from the fruit plate on the coffee table, peeled them and handed them to Alyssa.
Alyssa admired how calm he was at this time.
Since he was like an okay person, Alyssa’s heart calmed down.
Anyway, it’s acting. The more you pretend to be, the more you look like a family.
“It’s very crispy, you have one too.” Alyssa said, and put a macadamia nut into Karl’s mouth.
Macadamia nuts are creamy, and the fragrant and crispy taste is liked by girls.
Karl didn’t like the taste, but he frowned and chewed it down.
“Mom.” Gerald sat down beside Lina with a concerned tone: “Why don’t you call me in advance so I can pick you up.”
Anya also sat down next to Gerald, and said in agreement: “Yes, aunt, you finally came back once, the eldest brother happened to be in the country, so you should also let him pick you up.”
The smile on Lina’s face was light: “Gerald is too busy, and I’m not unattended, it’s no big deal…”
The three people over there looked peaceful, and Alyssa looked deserted.
Karl just peeled the macadamia nuts slowly, and Trevor sat opposite him without speaking.
It’s finally time to eat.
Alyssa thought that she could go back after eating.
As a result, when halfway through the meal, Anya pointed to the phone and said loudly, “Brother, someone hacked you on the Internet.”
Alyssa’s heart tightened, not that she was worried about how others would betray Gerald, but that he would be linked to Karl again.
Karl was the founder of AdamPic Media, and the Adams’ family should have known it, but Gerald was not involved in the termination of the contract.
It may be that the elders of the Adams’ family are too lazy to care about this, but now the parties on both sides are here…
Gerald was very calm: “Don’t worry, let’s talk about it after eating. Now some people on the Internet like to talk nonsense.”
“No, you are on the trending search again, and the attention is very high. It is said that you have abused the puppy in the crew before? The person who broke the news is said to have worked with you on the crew…”
Anya also works at a TV station, and when it comes to the entertainment industry, she naturally pays attention to entertainment news.
“It’s all a joke, how could there be such a thing, you are so nice…” Anya deliberately pretended to have a natural tone, but the deliberate flattery in the tone could not be hidden.
Alyssa glanced at her.
Anya discovered that it was too difficult to hold Karl’s thighs, so she stepped back to hold Gerald’s thighs next?
Alyssa stretched out a finger and poked Karl’s waist under the table. She just wanted to ask him if he did this for Gerald.
She intuitively felt that Karl had to do more than just terminate the contract with Gerald.
He is a man with a lot of grudges, and he will definitely ask for something from Gerald.
She only prodded, and Karl’s entire palm was grabbed.
Alyssa raised her head, Karl turned his head, and if nothing had happened, he would pick up vegetables for her: “Eat more and go back when you are full.”
Alyssa tilted her head and blinked to express her doubts.
Karl shook his head imperceptibly and answered her question.
Immediately, he looked up to see Gerald.
The eyes of the two people met in the air, and neither one took the initiative to say a word, and there was no extra expression.
But everyone else felt the weird atmosphere.
Gerald took the lead to look away and smiled indifferently: “Of course there won’t be such a thing, it’s just a boring thing that a boring person said, Anya doesn’t need to watch it anymore, let’s eat.”
He said this, and Anya quickly agreed: “Yes.”
Anya put down the phone, her mouth was not idle, she asked curiously: “Brother, why did you terminate the contract with AdamPic Media? I feel that AdamPic Media is kind to you.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the dining table fell into a strange stagnation.
Alyssa was a little surprised. Anya didn’t even know that Karl was the boss behind AdamPic Media?
After thinking about it, Alyssa felt understandable again.
Karl is a cold-tempered person. He didn’t like the Adams’ family at first, and he had no affection for Anya. It was normal for Anya not to know that he was the behind-the-scenes boss of AdamPic Media.
Gerald stopped smiling this time, and looked at Anya with an unpleasant expression.
Anya looked inexplicable, not knowing what she had said wrong.
Lina, who had not said anything, put some dishes into Anya’s bowl, and said softly, “Anya, try this.”
“Thank you, Auntie.” Anya glanced at Gerald carefully, stopped talking, and immersed herself in eating.
…
After finally eating, Alyssa thought that she could finally go back.
“Karl, come to my study, I have something to tell you.”
As soon as Trevor said this, Alyssa knew that she would not be able to leave for a while.
Alyssa sighed and pushed Karl: “Go ahead, I’ll be waiting for you here.”
Karl walked directly towards Trevor’s study without saying a word.
“Your father said he had something to tell you, what are you taking me to do?” Alyssa struggled to shake his hand away.
Karl’s tone was very serious: “I just finished eating, I will take you two more steps to digest.”
Alyssa murmured, “…Can the excuse be lower?”
“Say it again.” Karl looked back at her.
Alyssa shrank her neck and shook her head to pretend to be dumb.
At the door of Trevor’s study, Karl pushed the goalkeeper and brought Alyssa in.
Seeing Alyssa behind him, Trevor frowned slightly: “Will Alyssa chat with Anya and the others?”
The subtext when speaking is probably: I am talking to my son, what are you doing with me?
“Just say anything.” After Karl took Alyssa and sat down on the sofa, he raised his head to look at Trevor.
Trevor’s jaw tightened, it was obvious that he was angry with Karl’s attitude.
Alyssa glanced at Trevor and Karl again, and found that the two father and son looked like when they were angry.
“I thought you were willing to take over Adams’ family, but I already figured it out.” Trevor’s face was cold, and he didn’t feel angry when he spoke.
Alyssa couldn’t help but sit up righteously.
Karl smiled and said, “It seems that I need to correct you. It is because of my grandfather that I will go back to take over this mess.”
Chapter 238
Trevor was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently. He stared at Karl for a long time before he suffocated two words: “Very good!”
Alyssa watched with horror.
Fortunately, Trevor is in good health, otherwise he will get sick sooner or later.
“Ah.”
Karl sneered: “What’s the situation in Adams’ family now? You know in your heart that most of your power has been emptied by a bunch of old guys. How many false accounts have been made in finance? Do you know all about it?”
If it weren’t for Adams’ bad situation, he wouldn’t have worked overtime often during that period.
Trevor knew that what Karl was saying was the truth, and had nothing to refute.
He let out a long sigh of relief, and asked Karl, “Let’s talk about Gerald instead of this.”
Karl raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and waited for Trevor’s next words.
“You set up a film and television company outside. Gerald has been a contracted artist of your company over the years, right? You mentioned the recent dispute about your contract termination?”
Outsiders have heard that Gerald proposed to cancel the contract, and Trevor is not as foolish as those people.
Trevor’s inquisitive tone sounded a little strange.
Karl said blankly, “Are you trying to fight for him?”
Trevor also seemed to notice that his tone was not right, and his tone was softer: “Your aunt and I are brothers and sisters. The relationship between you and Gerald has been good since childhood. How many people in this family look forward to it. Staring at your position, you also know that you and Gerald have been k!ssing since they were young, and the two must have a good relationship so that they can take care of each other in the future…”
“If you want to take care of it, you can take care of it yourself.” Karl felt bored and stood up: “I don’t care about you, and you don’t care about mine.”
After speaking, he turned around and stretched out his hand towards Alyssa: “Alyssa, let’s go home.”
The expression he looked at her was not as cold as when Trevor was speaking, his handsome eyebrows were tender, touching and warm.
Alyssa put her hand into his hand: “Yeah.”
The two led them out.
Inside the open door, there was the sound of smashing things.
Alyssa looked at Karl worriedly.
Karl smiled soothingly, and the corner of his eyes was slightly mocking: “He will smash his own things.”
Alyssa faintly worried, Karl and Trevor Adams were incompatible with each other, and it wasn’t a day or two, but they couldn’t do this for the rest of their lives.
She could tell that Trevor still intends to befriend Karl.
A man like Trevor, even if he was too much, could not arrange such a kidnapping case to deal with his wife.
Alyssa felt that there should be a misunderstanding between Karl and Trevor.
However, this misunderstanding was not formed in a day or two. If you want to solve the misunderstanding, you can only do it slowly.
…
When the two of them went downstairs, they saw Luther jump up from the sofa and looked at the two of them eagerly: “Cousin, Sister Alyssa, are you going back?”
“Well, what’s the matter?” Alyssa could see that Luther had something to say.
Luther scratched his head and said twitchingly, “I haven’t been to your place for a long time. Can I live with you for a few days?”
“No way.”
“OK.”
The two voices sounded in unison.
It was Karl who said “No” and Alyssa who said “Yes”.
Alyssa glared at Karl, and said in an accentuated tone: “You can’t do it?”
Karl wanted to nod his head.
But instinct told him that if he nodded, he might be driven out of the bedroom by Alyssa tonight.
Karl glanced at Luther, then faintly replied, “Oh.”
Alyssa felt the deep sense of reluctance that came out of the word “oh”.
But she also pretended not to feel it, and smiled and said to Luther: “Have you told your mother?”
Although the relationship between Gerald and Karl broke down, Luther was just a child.
Don’t be so indifferent to a child because of adults.
Luther nodded wildly: “I have said it.”
…
Luther had lived with Karl before, and he still had his clothes there. Now he has to live there again. You don’t even need to pack things, you can just go there.
When getting in the car, Luther seemed to be afraid of Karl’s remorse. He jumped into the car like a rabbit and beckoned to Alyssa: “Sister Alyssa, come on.”
Karl glanced at him coldly, and Luther shut up quickly.
Alyssa was about to get into the car, but was pulled by Karl.
After he got into the car in front, he stretched out his hand towards Alyssa to signal her to get in the car.
Alyssa rolled her eyes, is this man so stingy?
She got into the car and Karl sat in between her and Luther to separate the two.
Alyssa and Luther looked at each other across, and saw the contempt for Karl in their eyes.
Alyssa thought of being at the dining table before, and Anya said that Gerald had been hacked again, so she took out her mobile phone to go online.
The online situation is worse than Alyssa thought.
Alyssa leaned in to Karl’s ear and asked him in a low voice, “Really you didn’t do it?”
Karl still had that expressionless appearance, but his tone was very arrogant: “Is this kind of trivial matter need me to do it?”
Depending on how a person’s character is, it is usually based on the small.
The topic of the death of a puppy by Gerald is very hot, and there are pictures.
It’s just that the picture is not very clear, but the silhouette of the figure is obviously Gerald.
The photos were taken continuously. When Gerald picked up the puppy and threw it to the ground, five photos were taken in a coherent process.
In the words of netizens, this is a real hammer.
This time, most of the netizens stopped standing with Gerald.
For a big celebrity like Gerald who has almost never had any negative news, this kind of black material may be a devastating blow to his acting career.
“The human design has collapsed!”
“It’s been strange to see Gerald for a long time. There is no negative news anywhere.”
“This is the consequence of the termination of the contract with AdamPic Media. The big tree of AdamPic Media is still unsatisfied. As soon as the contract is terminated, it will be so dark and sour, right?”
Alyssa’s gaze fell on the last comment.
The water in the entertainment industry is very deep. Although Gerald is a big man, it is also because AdamPic Media, the leader of the entertainment industry, is covering him.
However, he and AdamPic terminated the contract and lost AdamPic’s umbrella. Those who wanted to climb up would naturally take this opportunity to step on Gerald.
One will succeed.
There are always people in the entertainment industry who want to climb up.
And there are only a few top positions, so naturally you have to step on others to get a chance to climb up.
In just ten years, Gerald has become the youngest Superstar in the entertainment industry, and someone has long wanted to step him down.
