Chapter 49: Doubts

  The little girl wore a pink dress with lace edges, and a pair of pink round-toed leather boots. Even her platinum blonde hair had a big pink bow tied up in it, making her look both cute and pretty, just like a little princess from a fairy tale.

  "Are you Ryan Jenkins?" The girl asked first, then proudly raised her chin. "I'm looking for you."

  Ryan pinched his fingers, with an urge to smash the floor. Although the other party was still young, she already had six points of appearance after growing up, plus the iconic platinum blonde hair and a pink outfit. If he couldn't recognize that it was Paris Hilton, he should go hit the wall.

  Is it that he has a fate with fallen girls, first Lindsay Lohan, now Paris Hilton, and without a doubt, one day Britney Spears will also jump in front of him.

  "Excuse me, who are you?" Having seen too many big stars in this life, Ryan was not surprised.

  "My name is Paris Hilton. If you don't know me, that's okay, this hotel was opened by my family." The little girl said proudly.

  "Miss Paris, did you want something from me?" Ryan still had that nonchalant look on his face.

  Paris Hilton wrinkled her nose, apparently somewhat dissatisfied with his attitude. "I really like the Harry Potter series. Can I keep that manuscript? I'll definitely buy it when I save up enough money. Also, when is the next Harry Potter book coming out? If you write it, can I be the first to read it?"

  Ryan's mouth twitched and he thought to himself, Miss, it seems like we're not familiar with each other at all, don't you think this request is a bit excessive?

  "Sorry, I should get going." Ryan didn't even respond and walked around her.

  "Hey, did you hear what I just said?"

  But little did he know, the other person was relentless and directly grabbed his arm.

  Ryan furrowed his brow and stopped in his tracks, Paris Hilton was just a spoiled brat now, he didn't need to bother with her.

  "Ryan, what are you doing here? The auction is over." It was Nicole Kidman who had come looking for him when he hadn't returned.

  "Nothing, let's go." Ryan dodged around in a circle and went to the other side, using Nicole's body to block Paris Hilton.

  "Let's go." Nicole seemed to have sensed something, took the boy's hand and walked forward with big strides.

  At this time, the auction had just ended, but not many people left. After all, this was a very suitable occasion for socializing, and there were quite a few people walking around, and some men and women entered the restrooms on both sides of the banquet hall. Whether they were discussing business or pulling relationships, or doing something that children shouldn't know about, it was unknown.

  Dragging Nicole, Ryan stuck to the wall-side passageway, heading towards his own desk, passing by the first rest room door when he met Gerald and a black woman.

  "Good day, Mr. Gerald and Miss Houston."

  Ryan and Nicole just exchanged a brief greeting with the two people, and continued walking forward. Probably because the door of a rest room ahead was not closed properly, the sound of a TV came from inside, vaguely heard, it seemed that some TV station was reviewing the major event that occurred on March 30th last year.

  "Do you guys really think Ryan Jenkins is a super genius? Honestly, I knew him and Nicole Kidman back in 1989, he was just a spoiled kid by Nicole Kidman, none of the talents that the media says."

  Ryan wasn't intentionally eavesdropping, but the break room door was ajar and the conversation naturally fell into his and Nicole's ears, especially since the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

  "But now there is hardly a dissenting voice in Hollywood?" It seems others don't agree.

  "Do you really think he could have written a romantic script like Sleepless in Seattle at the age of ten? I'll bet my Bentley on it, this is absolutely not..."

  Feeling a sudden grip, Ryan hastily grabbed hold of Nicole. The Australian woman's face had frozen over with anger, clearly seething. He had no doubt that Nicole Kidman would kick open the door to the locker room and give the person who was slandering him inside two resounding slaps in the face.

  "Never mind, Nicole." Ryan shook his head slightly and pulled Nicole away...

  "Yes, Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman can't afford to maintain a creative team, but don't forget that Australian woman is a sexy babe, even in the entire Hollywood her beauty can be ranked top-notch, it's likely those gunmen have great appreciation for her, and she used her own body to exchange back those works for Ryan Jenkins, with her sexy body, no need to say maintaining one creative team, maintaining two teams would not be a problem at all."

  The voices in the rest room grew louder, as if they wanted everyone in the banquet hall to hear them. Some people passing by this corridor had already heard what was being said inside and looked at Ryan and Nicole with strange eyes.

  "So don't talk about super genius, wait until Nicole Kidman gets old and faded, you just wait and see if she can still be a genius..."

  Ryan's fist clenched tighter, if these people slandered him, he would have thought they were just mad dogs barking wildly, but what they slandered was the person he cared most about in this life, and from the half-open dressing room door, he could guess that the people inside must be doing it on purpose, they just wanted to let the passersby outside hear these words, and let these rumors spread throughout Hollywood, the viciousness of their intentions was evident.

  "Ryan..."

  Nikki looked at the boy with concern, she understood him all too well, knowing he was now on the verge of an outburst, but it was too late to say anything.

  Ryan released the hand that was holding him, walked quickly to the door of the lounge and kicked it hard with a loud "bang" sound, which spread throughout the entire banquet hall.

  "Which mad dog didn't get tied up and ran here to bite people?" Ryan burst in without courtesy, his sarcastic words thrown out like a knife.

  "Uh..."

  The people inside seemed to have never thought that this kind of slanderous talk would actually attract the attention of the master.

  Ryan didn't expect that inside was actually an acquaintance - the owner of those words was none other than Tom Cruise!

  "Mr. Cruz, is this the demeanor of a big star? Ha~ It's really worth letting the people all over the country hear how you slander a child and a lady! Let them see what kind of ugly face is hidden under this handsome face!"

  It's clear that Ryan has gone wild and doesn't care about the occasion at all, blurting out all sorts of sarcastic remarks.

  Nicole Kidman burst in and saw the two men facing each other, one big and one small, and immediately understood what was going on. At the same time as she worried about Ryan, she secretly felt lucky.

  Luckily, I had a slight good impression of Tom Cruise at first, but due to Ryan's opposition, it was cut off. Otherwise, if I had interacted or even married someone with such a bright appearance and a dirty inside, the consequences would be imaginable.

  Due to the huge noise, not only Nicole, but also many more people rushed in from outside. Ryan took a glance and thought that this time it's going to be big, as the people behind were not just Hollywood stars, but also high-level executives of film companies like Gerald, Ron Meyer, Michael Eisner, etc.

  Especially, among them were also media interviewing in the banquet hall! Several reporters had cameras on their shoulders!

  Someone who understood what was going on quickly explained it to the people around them, and their eyes turned towards the scene were somewhat unnatural, especially when looking at Ryan, with a hint of sympathy.

  Tom Cruise may not be a big deal to the seven major film companies, but he has an absolute advantage over Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman, and his power is not just talk.

  As more and more people gathered, Tom Cruise's original dazed expression changed rapidly. Looking at the boy who was staring at him aggressively, he couldn't help but think of the pranks he had played on himself, as well as that Australian woman who didn't know what was good for her. Since things had come to this point, even if it was just for the sake of appearances, he would see this through to the end!

  "Ryan, we've known each other for two years, haven't we? What kind of person are you? I'm still not clear about it. Wasn't what I just said the truth?"

  "Really? Mr. Cruz, what was that you just said? Care to repeat it?" Ryan glanced at the camera without batting an eye.

  Tom Cruise may be arrogant and conceited, but he's not a fool. If he repeats the insults against Nicole Kidman in front of so many people again, his reputation will really be ruined.

  He wouldn't let go of the chance to strike him, "What's not possible? A romantic comedy like Sleepless in Seattle, it's impossible for someone your age to come up with! And I suspect the other movie scripts aren't original either!"

  The taste of washing my face with chili pepper water is something I still remember!

  In just a brief moment, Tom Cruise made a plan. Even if these works were created by him, as long as he followed his own pace, today he would make Ryan Jenkins infamous, and who knows, maybe even finish him off completely.

  "What a pity, even if you deny it, those are still my works!" Ryan started to mock very succinctly.

  "Really?"

  Tom Cruise suddenly burst out laughing, "Ask these people here, how many of them really believe that's your work?"

  Ryan didn't need to turn around to know that the people behind him would definitely show a suspicious look in their eyes, this was inevitable. If there were important figures who doubted him in public, his age made it difficult for him to convince them.

  "Ryan, isn't everyone saying you're a super genius? Well, let's see just how brilliant you are." Tom Cruise also flashed a mocking smile, "Now come up with a script..."

  "What if I made it up?" Ryan also laughed, what a suicidal move!
