The black Rolls-Royce ignored the paparazzi and drove straight into Scarlett's home. The driver skillfully turned the car into the garage. Ryan picked up Sandy, pushed open the car door, walked through a corridor, and entered Scarlett's villa.

"Mommy."

The little guy jumped off Ryan, ran all the way into the living room, threw himself into Nicole's arms, kissed his mother hard on her face, and shouted to the two people sitting opposite him, "Hello, Taylor, Scarlett."

"Hello, Sandy..."

Perhaps seeing Ryan who came in later, the two active guys were always a little silent.

"How is things going?"

Without looking at them, Ryan sat directly next to Nicole, who nodded, "Everything went well."

"They..." Nicole looked at her daughter and finally said nothing.

"I have already recorded this account." Ryan gave Nicole a reassuring look, then looked at Taylor and Scarlett across the street, "Tell me, what's wrong with you two, why don't you answer my phone? Scott and Mrs. Andrea have called me more than a dozen times. How can I explain it to them? I guess they will fly to Los Angeles tomorrow."

"Also, Ska..."

"My mother said nothing." Scarlett said quickly, "She doesn't support or object."

"What about you, Alison." Ryan looked at Taylor with his head down, "Are you going to not answer my phone call in the future?"

"I...I'm sorry."

The royal blue eyes were obviously not as bright as before. Taylor looked up, looked at Nicole first, then Ryan, opened his mouth, and said stutteringly. "I...I disappoint you..."

"Disappointed?" Ryan turned to look at Nicole, and read the same meaning from her eyes as herself, "Alison. Do you think so?"

He shook his head directly.

Nicole took the sentence, "Dear. You are our sister. No matter what happens, this will not change at all!"

"Sister..." Sandy jumped off Nicole, ran to Taylor, pulled her hand and said, "Is there a bad guy bullying you? Let's fight the bad guy together!"

Picking up Sandy, Taylor kissed her forehead. Then he looked at Ryan with hope.

"Nicole's words are what I want to say." Ryan nodded vigorously.

"I..." Taylor put down Sandy, suddenly walked over, hugged Nicole first, and then hugged Ryan, "I love you guys!"

The clouds shrouded in the villa suddenly dissipated, and Taylor and Scarlett gradually returned to their past appearance, not only talking and laughing, but also no longer concealing their intimacy.

Thinking of the things I ignored in the past, Ryan could only sigh in secret that he was confused. In fact, they had revealed many traces before, but he had never considered this aspect.

"I thought you would grow up."

This is an unexplainable mentality. Ryan looked at Taylor with the eyes of Sandy, "One day, I will lead you onto the red carpet and hand you over to another person to take care of you, but I didn't expect..."

Ryan pinched his eyebrows, "I didn't expect this person to be Scarlett."

"I promise!" Scarlett on the opposite side immediately spoke, "I will definitely take good care of Alison."

"Hey, Ska!"

Get rid of the biggest worry. Taylor gradually returned to his previous activity, "I have always been taking care of you!"

"You two!"

Ryan raised his hand to interrupt the possible dispute. He said, "I'd better think about how to face Scott and Mrs. Andrea tomorrow."

"You'll help us, are you?" Taylor looked at Ryan hopefully.

"I'm sorry..." Ryan shook his head, "Your parents can only leave it to you to convince yourself."

"Dear, you know we have a lot of trouble now." Nicole also spoke, "this needs to be solved as soon as possible."

Taylor immediately thought of the recent storm Disney faced and frowned with golden eyebrows. "Behind this, News Corporation is definitely making trouble. They are distracting us. If we are entangled by these troubles, we will definitely not be able to fight for Lucasfilm."

"It's not just that." Ryan pinched his chin, "if it can weaken Disney, or even cause civil strife or other unstable events, they can gain more benefits from it."

In North America, when executives of a group company are entangled with many scandals, they often have to temporarily resign and calm public opinion. Now many media in North America are hyping up the so-called scandals of Ryan's illegitimate daughter and Taylor and others, which are undoubtedly forcing him to move closer to this path.

However, Ryan holds a controlling stake in Disney. Even though Disney and himself seem to be completely trapped in the mud, he still firmly controls Disney.

At least until now, Disney has been confident in him from grassroots employees to the vast majority of managers.

The box office and peripheral sales of "Avatar" are one of the sources of this confidence. By late February, the North American box office of this epoch-making film was close to US$800 million, and the global box office exceeded the US$2.8 billion mark. It seems that no matter what accident happens to the producer Disney, it cannot prevent the film's box office from finally climbing to the height of US$3 billion.

Correspondingly, the film's peripheral products and various authorizations have also earned Disney a huge amount of US$700 million!

"Alice in Wonderland", released on Valentine's Day, is another source of Disney's confidence. This movie, which has almost no characteristics except 3D, quickly made up for the market's desire for this type of film with the help of the new 3D movie craze brought about by "Avatar". Since its release, the global box office has been rising.

What’s important is that this is not the fake 3D movie from my previous life, but a video that is truly made using 3D technology.

"Alice in Wonderland" has only been released for ten days, and the box office in North America has reached US$221.99 million, and the global box office has exceeded US$400 million.

Anyone can see that Disney's movies are extremely powerful in its peripheral business. People like Twentieth Century Fox who want to share the cake have become more urgent. Even within Disney, some people inevitably have some ideas, dreaming of bringing Disney back to the path that truly belonged to the Disney family in the past.

The dilemma faced by Disney and Ryan also made them see this hope.

News Group and Walt Disney are still competing for Lucasfilm. After both sides raised their quotations to $3.950 billion, they tacitly stopped marking prices and turned their targets to each other.

The managers on both sides are not fools. If they cannot repel the other party as soon as possible, this acquisition will only turn into an infinitely high-profile malicious bid.

But News Corp. and Walt Disney's reactions were completely different. The former was aggressive, while the latter seemed to be under antitrust. The management scandal was a storm. Faced with News Corp., there was no power to fight back at all.

However, Disney has been holding on for a while and seems to have no intention of giving up Lucasfilm.

On February 25, Sky TV, a subsidiary of News Corp., revealed another shocking news, and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was interviewed on one of their columns.

"After I stepped down as prime minister, I did accept some hires from companies and served as their special adviser, including the Walt Disney Group! Of course, the work I am doing is definitely legal, but I will regret some things."

"What are you regretting?" the host asked in a timely manner.

"I have accepted the private commission from Ryan Jenkins. Last year, I went to Switzerland to lobby for the Roman Polansky case. Although I did not contribute, as far as I know, he also hired some former senior officials from other governments to lobby for the Roman Polansky to eventually be released by the Swiss government, and he played a key role in it..."

The show was then aired by Fox TV, a subsidiary of News Corporation. The public across the United States was in an uproar. This completely exceeded their past perception of Ryan. They would never have thought that in the incident last year, Ryan Jenkins was standing opposite the public.

Although we know that politicians' words are no different from farting, many people still subconsciously believe Blair's words. The reason is very simple: Ryan Jenkins and Roman Polansky are both Jewish!

The matter is far from over. Major media under News Corporation were staring at Ryan and Disney's management's every move. The Wall Street Journal then was the first to report that Ryan was summoned by the Federal Department of Justice. Although this only lasted for less than half an hour, it was no less than a storm in the stock market.

The many troubles Walt Disney has encountered recently have seriously affected investors' confidence. Disney's stocks have been falling again and again, and the overall market value has fallen below $85 billion from its peak of $89.7 billion. Many Disney's small shareholders have complained about this, and some investment institutions holding shares on Wall Street are also quite dissatisfied.

Strictly speaking, Ryan didn't expect Tony Blair to jump out, but there was nothing strange about it. The other party had a close relationship with News Corp, even...

He didn't expect that the original trick of the clever chess actually stabbed him in reverse!

That's fine. According to his plan, Tony Blair will definitely be dragged into the water, and his wonderful relationship with News Corp is about to end.

Maybe Blair will become the person Rupert Murdoch hates the most.

As for the Roman Polansky incident he disclosed, it would cause some trouble, but not too much. After all, this incident happened in Europe. The people sent by George sent cash and did not leave any evidence.

Besides, News Corp has political power that supports it, and Walt Disney has it too.

Compared with these, Ryan’s first thing to do is to stabilize the interior of Walt Disney. (To be continued) r655
