Reborn to Dominate Hollywood

The next day, it was even more messy.

The premiere made a huge impression in the eyes of journalists and the media, with 75% of the conversation going about the film, but a whopping 25% about Ian.

There are so many commentaries digging into and discussing Ian's bad past, commenting and exploring the director's mud.

"I'm not quite sure if it's all just the passion of journalists. I mean, it really doesn't look like it. "

Good morning, everyone!" Ian walked as Mason, Nick, and Harley cleared their throats.

"Ian, how are you?" asked Mason where he was.

"It's never been better, and I'm starting to think that the movie 'Resident Evil' has made me even more excited to finish Marriage Story and focus on creating the next one," he said as he sat down next to Harley.

"We're just talking about something else, Ian. Like, you know how the media is paying attention to you.

Harley was a little unsure about how to resolve the situation.

"Well, I know what the media is talking about right now. Ian said, looking at the crowd. "If there's anything I've learned over the past few years, it's that it's entirely up to me to react or not. And what I can do now is to leave the hard things of the trials to the professionals and concentrate on making movies. "

Ian," Nick looked at Ian. "Filmmaking is also about media in a way. How the public perceives you, at the moment I already feel that this is just the beginning. I'm worried," he said truthfully.

"Let's not worry too much, I mean, I'm not really dependent on the media. "

When did the lawyer come?" Mason asked, changing the direction of the conversation.

Thirty minutes later. At that point, we can move on to talk more about Home Alone 2. "

Halley takes the lead.

"Harley, it's great that you're involved in business. It's nice to have someone who understands the market," Ian said.

"Working with all of you, I feel the same way. Anyway, filming should be over this week, right? Also, how long will it take you to finish the script?"

"I think maybe a week, I'll do my best to finish it. "Ian said, but in the back of his mind, he thought, 'I'd rather finish Home Alone All Night 2 than sleeping

'" Take your time, Home Alone was our first step and we've come a long way since then. So, I want to show how much we've accomplished," Mason said, taking a sip of his coffee.

"Bring me a cup of coffee and we can discuss the rest of the plans for next week," Ian said, and Mason nodded.

Mason asked for a cup of coffee, and they continued their discussion until the lawyer walked in to talk about the upcoming trial.

"It's a pleasure to see you here, Attorney Jas," Mason greeted the lawyer.

Nick and Harley leave the office, while Ian, Mason, and the lawyer stay inside.

"How's it going, Ian?" she asked.

"I've always been good. Thanks to you, and for your speech at trial.

Jas nodded and sighed.

"This is just the beginning, I want to talk to you guys about some things, it's essential, and I think we really should take that step so that it clears a lot of things in the queue. "

What is it?" Ian asked.

"Well, we need to appeal as soon as possible and ask Sarah to get a DNA test. "

Yes, that's what we're expecting!" Mason said, pounding the table excitedly.

"Mr. Reina, are you alright?"

"Yes, that will bring things to fruition quickly. Let's do it as soon as possible, and thank you again for reaching out for this.

"It's all part of my job, Mr. Reyner. Let me see, I'm going to appeal today, and go through the necessary procedures within 72 hours," she said, looking at the two men who nodded.

"This case is not just about justice, lawyers. It's about Ian's reputation, and it's about his career. The media and reporters have chased after him, and they will not leave him until the case is closed. Even after that, I bet it will only continue to haunt his career,

" "Let's see, uncle." What else can we do?" Ian asked, looking at the lawyer.

-

Sarah was scared to death that day.

There's one person who knows all Sarah does, and that's her best friend, Natalie.

"What are you going to do now?" asked Natalie.

"What do you mean, what am I going to do? I don't have to do anything, Natalie!" Sarah said as she read the email she had received from her lawyer.

"Okay, okay, let's not panic, you know. Uh, how's that—

" "I know your fucking look very well, no, it's a bad idea," Sarah said, looking at her friend.

Thinking of this, she shook her head because she knew what her advice was.

"We have no choice, Sarah. Law firms are big and they can help. Your lawyer... I know she's good, but this law firm is one of the best in all of America. And, in a lot of ways, it's about Hollywood, and..."

Natalie grabbed Sarah's shoulders and made her look into her eyes.

"Look, Sarah. I know it sounds ridiculous, I don't know anything, basically nothing-

" "Hey," Sarah pointed to the child, stopping her from swearing.

Natalie sighed. "I don't know anything about Hollywood or the powerful! But as we all know, the founding group is very, very powerful. They have fought many lawsuits on behalf of Goofy in the past. They have a great reputation. What I want you to focus on is if... If they are willing to help you, then there will be no danger in what happened before. All you have to do is go to court and go to court normally. Natalie gasped, and she was about to sweat because the topic was so serious.

"What if... If something goes wrong and lives including me and the child are in danger, I won't be able to raise her anymore, Natalie.

"You can get it done, and you're not afraid to move forward and sue Ian Renner. Trust me, I have a good hunch about this, and you will definitely succeed. Natalie said, looking at her with more concern.

[California Law Firm Founding Group]

Sarah revealed the Founding Group's request, and her lawyer's statement caught her off guard.

“...... Sarah, part of the reason we're here today is because of that. I think you should choose this option, I don't doubt my ability, I just think it's better for you and your baby.

Despite this, Sarah stood in front of two men in black and white suits.

"So, you mean, everything will be done for free?"

"Gratuitous service, yes," replied the dark-skinned, not-so-scary man of the two.

As they prepare to question her, Sarah has to put her brave face in front of her – and she feels it.

"Why are you doing this, and what do you get out of it?"

is easy to explain," Grit replied – another person. "The founding group was formed to help those in need and bring justice to them. So, Sarah, we're here to help you. We know what you need—"

What? What do I need?"

"Justice. For you and your children.

Sarah nodded uncertainly.

The Founding Group is known to be leading the country because they have been involved in a lot of Hollywood cases, but they always win because of the skill of their lawyers.

"Well, okay. So, what do you have to ask me?" Sarah asked bluntly.

"Okay, Miss Sarah, is Lillian Ian Rayner's child? I want you to be honest with us, and trust me, we're here to help you through this.

Sarah looked at the men who were staring at her. It was intense, she felt as if she needed to tell the truth, and in fact, it was a good fit for her.

"I don't know, I'm not sure. And, I don't want to know," Sarah muttered to herself.

She betrayed Ian and the rest of her boyfriend, so she knew that the mini-kid was only possible as Ian's daughter.

"We understand—

" "What do you mean?" Sarah immediately asked rhetorically.

Both men nodded at the lady

, "We know" "There's one thing we can do for

you," "What's it?" "We're

going to interfere with the process and drag out the whole thing, and we might be able to come up with a way or two to help you and your kids get child support from Ian."

Sarah nodded at them, then went on to go into more detail.

The end of Sarah's meeting with the two lawyers heralds another beginning for Sarah and her little looks.

“...... What do you mean, sir?" asked Sarah.

She was confused by what they were saying, and after a tall, skinny man who claimed to be the director of a talk show walked into the venue where Sarah and the two lawyers were having a meeting, he asked her to participate in the next talk show.

"We're not going to let you get into trouble, Sarah. All you have to do is trust us and we'll take care of Lillian and your future," Gretel said with a sympathetic smile.

"Well, let's get started," Sarah said.

Interviewing her on live TV would really be important, but it didn't do Ian any good.

"In terms of current trends in Hollywood, Redbo TV is at the top of the pack. Since you're in a hurry, are you free the day after tomorrow?" asked the director.

"Yes sir. Uh, can I know what we're going to talk about on the show?"

"Don't worry about any of them, now that you agree, we'll take care of the rest." The director replied with a smile, making Sarah shudder.

"Okay," she said.

"If it's good for Lillian and me, I'm willing to take any action without hesitation. She thought to herself, smiling at the three men.

"Even if it includes doing something that betrays her conscience,"

she kept thinking, how risky it was all because she was just a girl who wanted to live her life to the fullest.

To cover up a mistake is to make more mistakes along the way in the future, and that ruined her life, and now she has no choice but to move forward so that she can simply live.

-

Two days later.

"What do you mean?" Ian asked, looking directly into the eyes of Uncle Mason's lawyer sitting next to her.

"I mean exactly what I said. Somehow, the appeal is being processed, and we don't think it's going to move forward anytime soon.

Ian looked out the window, thinking about what might happen.

"That's ridiculous, lawyer. Do you think there's something behind all of this?, Mason asked.

In Mason's small office, Ian was standing looking out at the building.

The news brought by the lawyer gave him a headache.

"The appeal is bogged down with a lot of formalities, I can't believe I'm going to say that, but I think we need to be patient for a while. "

Sorry to interrupt, I have one more bad news," Nick said as he walked in, followed by Raylene.

"What is it?" Ian asked, looking behind him.

"Uh, let me connect the TV," Nick said, turning around the table and turning on the TV.

In the midst of the noise, the TV turned on, and a pair of eyes stared at the screen in unison.

"Welcome back to RedBo TV, brought to you by Goofy. Today, we have Sarah...", and the host started the show.

“... I felt taken advantage of, abandoned. I-" She sniffed, continuing her thoughts. "Ian... I was expecting a normal relationship with him, and then he threw me away like I was nothing. I-I can't believe all this I'm saying on TV-

" "Even we can't do it," Nick muttered.

"I felt mentally abused. I had high hopes for us, and he promised a few things, including taking me shopping, taking care of us, and even talking about how excited he was to spend those nights with us," Sarah continued while trying to garner sympathy.

"This is," Ian exclaimed. "Can you see how hard she's trying to gain sympathy? Fuck, everybody out there who has ever been emotionally abused must be cursing at me right now!" Ian groaned as he pounded his fist against the table.

"Ian, calm down," Raelin said behind him, rubbing his shoulder.

"Turn off the damn thing!" Ian said loudly, then sat down on the nearest couch.

"Wait, let's see what else she says, maybe we can use it against her during the trial. On

TV, Sarah was seen in a yellow gown, her hair draped over her face, and mascara covered all over the floor.

Since she cried on TV, the audience sympathized with her.

Some of them are already in tears, and some of them are already crying.

"I'm sorry, Sarah. But one more thing we want to know, what was Ian's reaction when he found out about the child?"

"I— I never said we wanted to have a baby in the first place, and I was scared. Considering my financial precariousness and inability to raise my children on my own, I couldn't take it anymore. But somehow ... I met this lawyer and he thought it would be better if we turned against Ian and got everything Lillian and I deserved," she said through gritted teeth.

"Is Lillian with you today?" and we saw her with you at trial?"

"Oh yes," Sarah said, and a man dressed in plain black walked in with Lillian, who looked more silent than ever.

"Hello, Lilian," Sarah said, bringing her to the camera.

The baby looks very cute and people are in awe of the baby.

"What a cute little thing. The host grimaced, and Lillian smiled.

"Are you done?" Ian asked, no longer looking at the screen.

"We have to act as soon as possible," the lawyer said with his eyes wide open.

"The best thing to do is to try to get the system to work. Appeals should get rid of red tape so that all our problems can be resolved quickly and easily," said Ian.

"I'll do my best," the lawyer said, getting up and walking out of the room.

"I'll see you in a moment, lawyer," Mason said as she was escorted out of the office.

After a while, everyone was sitting in different seats – well, everyone except Ian.

He was still looking around the building.

"What are we going to do now?" asked Mason as he walked.

"Started filming Home Alone 2. The final scene of the marriage story is still being filmed, and in the next two weeks, the marriage story should be released. Whatever this scandal is, we will not stop to give it more attention. Ian said as he walked out of the office.

"We just want everything to go according to plan," Nick said with a sigh.

Ian walked out of the office and towards Murphy's office.

Murphy saw Ian's brisk steps and stood up.

"Sir?"

"Murphy, contact Jeff Sanson's assistant and make an appointment as soon as possible." Ian said and walked in, taking a seat in the chair in front of Murphy.

"Oh yes, sir, of course," Murphy said, dialing the number for Goofy to line up.

[Goofy Tower]

"Mr. Reina, this way

" "Thank you" Ian said as he walked towards Jeff's office, looking nothing but in his direction.

"Excuse me?" Ian said, and Jeff quickly replied "Come in" and

walked in, and he was met with the most annoying but friendly-looking face ever.

"Ian, long time no see!" Jeff said aloud with a smirk.

"Mr. Sanson—

" "Call me Jeff, what's going on?" asked Jeff with a look of concern.

"Can I know why your company's TV channel is attacking me? Redbo TV is yours, it's not just me, almost everyone is fully aware of it. "

Huh?" Jeff frowned, and the next second his eyebrows were shocked in realization.

"About the interview with Sarah, man, I don't know why they did this!" he said.

"I doubt it, Jeff.

"I'm serious, you don't have to worry about it anymore, I'll take care of it. It's nice to see you again, but it's not calm.

Ian sighed at his words.

This man, even if the world declares 'doom' within two hours, is a man who cannot be trusted. Ian thought to himself.

"yes, how are you doing?" said Ian.

"I've been great, and I wanted to ask a few days, how is your next film going?" asked Jeff.

"Well, a movie is already lined up, and the next one will be a sequel to Home Alone, the first film I made. "

That's Home Alone 2,"

Ian nodded at his statement.

"Hmm... Ian, how about another proposal?" asked Jeff.

"The last one is still in a state of stopping, Jeff

" "Home Alone 2 can be produced by Rainer Studios and Goofy with 50-50 shared ownership-"

In the first few words, Ian realized that Jeff was trying to calculate him.

"—that way, things will be much easier for you later," said Jeff.

"I'll think about it, thank you for your help," Ian said before getting up and leaving the office.

As soon as the fresh air came to his nose, he took out his phone and turned it off.

"It's better to be a fucking goodnight," Ian said, getting into the sports car he brought.
