Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 451 Still waters run deep

 Beverly Hills, mid-level villa.

Taylor sat on the balcony, looking at the bustling Los Angeles city in the distance in a daze, his fair and delicate cheeks revealing some unconcealable tiredness.

She has been busy touring since March to promote her third album and held more than 30 concerts around the world. She did not have time to rest until the beginning of June. In addition to taking care of her children, she spends all her time these days. Recording songs in a recording studio.

 Since breaking up with Link, she has reached a creative peak and can get new creative inspiration almost every day.

 Last year, we created 173 songs, 35 of which were rated as A-level songs by the company's production department. A-level songs refer to songs that are of high quality and have a chance of entering the top 100 of the Billboard singles chart after release.

 After giving birth to a child this year, my creative inspiration became more abundant. In addition to themes such as love, life, broken love, work, and family, I also wrote many children's songs with the themes of "child" and "maternal love".

 43 songs were rated A-level by the production department of Big Machine Company.

 The work was recognized by the musicians in the production department. Taylor was very happy and felt that it was right to break up with Link.

When she was with Link, she couldn't write a song for ten days and a half, which often made her very distressed. Instead, Link, that bastard, would come up with a great song every now and then and show it off in front of her. , I feel very angry just thinking about it.

  Sometimes she suspected that her inspiration was secretly sucked away by Link.

 Although she has been a little uncomfortable in the past year after the breakup, and occasionally feels sad or lonely, she has turned them into creative inspiration.

Overall it’s pretty good, especially after Alexander and Cynthia were born, it felt even better. Looking at these two chubby little guys every day makes my heart melt.

But she encountered an annoying thing in recent days. According to the Nashville Manor bodyguard Michelle, starting last week, strangers often appeared around the manor, and there were also people with cameras taking pictures of the manor from a distance.

Maid Rachel also said that when she goes shopping during this period, she is often peeped and followed by strangers.

 Those people have been more active in the past two days, and some people even tried to sneak into the manor disguised as cleaning staff.

Based on the above information, it is basically certain that the child's affairs may have been exposed, attracting paparazzi to follow up and investigate.

 She had expected this kind of thing before, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

“Tyler, what are you going to do? I’m afraid it will be difficult to hide the child’s affairs any longer.”

Mrs. Andrea got out of the car and looked up at Taylor on the balcony and asked.

 She was busy working in the company, but she hurried back after receiving Taylor's call.

"I have no idea."

Taylor shrugged miserably.

"You don't know? We all advised you not to do this at the beginning. You are a celebrity, and you will definitely not be able to hide it for long. In fact, in February, many media doubted the authenticity of the matter, but you insisted on using that method. Hide children.

 I thought you had already thought of a countermeasure, but now something happens, you tell me you don’t know? Why do you do that if you don’t know what to do? ! "

Mrs. Andrea looked at her with a stern face and a look of hatred.

I used to think that Taylor was very smart and very opinionated since he was a child. I don’t know how he could be so confused about this matter and not listen to any advice.

“Mom, stop shouting. Now is not the time to discuss right and wrong. We should think about how to solve this matter.”

Taylor looked at Mrs. Andrea, and then at the executive agent Ms. Emily who was following.

“What else can we do? Of course we need to find Link. He is the father of the child. He cannot ignore this kind of thing.”

Mrs. Andrea said with a cold face.

Emily also nodded, agreeing with Andrea's point of view.

Link is now a big shot, and his ability to withstand risks and solve problems is stronger. It would be very suitable to ask Link for help. In addition, Link will never forget Taylor and the child, and he will not refuse to help after knowing this.

 “No, we can’t find Link!”

"Why?"

 Hearing Taylor's veto, Mrs. Andrea asked in confusion.

Taylor frowned, spread his hands and said: "I chose to hide the child in the first place just to prevent Link from harassing me on the pretext of looking after the child. If I ask him for help, he will have a legitimate reason to come over to look after the child and intervene in my life. That way I Just lose."

Mrs. Andrea looked at her with a dark face, "Did you choose to hide the child just to avoid being harassed by Link?"

"Yes, Mom, you don't know how annoying Link is. If I give him a chance to come over and see the child, I will be controlled by him again, and I will even be dragged to the bed by him. Mom, don't think this is impossible, Lin Ke is more hateful and shameless than you know, and he is so controlling that he is insane.”

Taylor said, holding his white fists.

Mrs. Andrea was even more annoyed. She originally thought that Taylor hid the child to preserve her innocent idol persona. After discussing with the company’s president, Scott Bochetta, she agreed to Taylor’s proposal.

 But in the end, Taylor's purpose for doing this was to vent his anger on Link.

"Then do you know that Link has already exchanged rings with Ivaca, and the next step is to get married. He will never harass you again, nor will he control you again. The two of you are strangers from now on, and it will never happen again. What’s the dispute, do you understand?”

Mrs. Andrea shouted.

Taylor's eyes suddenly turned red, "Impossible! He just sent me a message to congratulate me on winning the Country Music Recording of the Year Award. There's no way he would let me go. I know him. Don't look at how sweet he and Ivaca are. In fact, the person he loves most is me, for sure.”

To prove this point, Taylor took out his mobile phone and showed the message to Mrs. Andrea.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Andrea was heartbroken and helpless. How could a girl as good and smart as Taylor regard a toxic love as a treasure that cannot be let go, and take the love of a **** seriously?

Had she known Taylor would be like this? In 2008, she refused to let Taylor go diving at the beach.

"Taylor, I know Link still loves you, and you still love him, right? Then why did you break up with him in the first place, and why did you refuse to listen to him no matter how hard you tried to persuade him? Why did you not agree to Link's repeated attempts to get back together? Later, Link You don’t care when you get together with Ivaca, what on earth do you want to do?”

Mrs. Andrea asked in a slower tone.

"It feels good to be with Link, but it's so good that I always worry that I will get lost in that kind of life. I would rather be an ordinary singer or a housewife stuck at home. I will gradually lose my creative inspiration and the pursuit of my dreams." In the end, even the passion for life will gradually lose.

The kind of future where I can see the end of my life at a glance makes me feel panicked and even suffocated, so I have to leave him, leave my comfort zone, pursue my dreams and pursue my own life. It’s good now. I won’t regret it. "

Taylor looked up at the blue sky, a clear tear slipped quietly from the corner of his eye, and disappeared into the bright sunshine of Los Angeles before reaching his temples.

Mrs. Andrea sighed softly. Although she could not fully understand Taylor's thoughts, she could also understand some of her feelings.

Mrs. Andrea put her arms around her shoulders and said, "I understand you. I also had this feeling before your father and I got married. But life after marriage is not as boring and dull as I imagined, and I am not as boring as I imagined. , a housewife in a Nashville suburb.

The birth of you and Austin was the biggest surprise in my life. I followed you from Nashville to New York and then to Los Angeles. I have a satisfying job and a complicated social circle. Seeing you and Austin growing up and becoming famous, I also often Gain a lot of honor and satisfaction.

These things are not something I could have imagined when I got married. It is also impossible for you to predict what will happen in the future when you are twenty years old, nor can you see the end at a glance, because each of us is the sea, and the still water is deep. flow! "

Mrs. Andrea looked at the calm Pacific Bay in the distance and sighed.

 Looking at the sea from a distance, it looks like a mirror, a solidified blue gem. But when you are at the bottom of the sea, you will know how many waves are hidden under the calm sea.

 Even an insignificant whirlpool can make people tremble with fear. Even a cluster of inconspicuous corals can lead life to an unpredictable direction. The same is true for life.

“Mom, what should I do now? In fact, the moment I saw Alexander and Cynthia, I regretted it.

They are so beautiful, like little angels, and they should not live quietly in this world. This is a problem between me and Link. They should not be allowed to bear the responsibility for their mistakes. This is unfair and cruel to them.

 I also thought about exposing them and taking the initiative to admit my mistakes to the public, but I did not have the courage to do so.

When I heard Michelle say that the media might know about the children, I was nervous at first, but now I feel very relaxed. The children have been exposed, and I don’t have to continue to cover them up. Worry about what they will do if the media finds out. Able to live openly in the world and let everyone know about them.

 I decided to hold a press conference and take the initiative to apologize to the public. "

Taylor suddenly stood up and said.

“Don’t be impulsive. Take your time with this kind of thing. Hold a meeting to discuss a solid countermeasure first, and then implement it slowly. You are a public figure. If you don’t handle this kind of thing well, it will have a great negative impact on you and the company.

Don't tell me you don't care, you don't care about making money, and you don't care about music? Don't you care about the fans who always like and support you?

 Don’t worry, this is just an ordinary crisis public relations. As long as it is handled properly, the negative impact can be minimized. "

Mrs. Andrea persuaded.

Taylor thought for a moment and nodded his chin.

She is not alone now, she is also the backbone of Big Machine Records. There are a large group of people around her who are busy with their own affairs. If this matter is not handled well, it will not only affect her own career, but also his work, income and even family.

As for music, I have written so many good songs in the past two years but have not yet had time to share them with fans. It would be a pity if I could not release a new album because of this incident.

 Ding dong!

The phone rang, but Taylor ignored it and told Mrs. Andrea to come up with a solution as soon as possible. Michelle could delay it for a week at most. If it was exposed to the media and admitted after a long time, the impact would be worse.

Mrs. Andrea nodded and agreed helplessly. She was really helpless.

 Because she is not only Taylor’s mother, but also Taylor’s general manager and a shareholder of Big Machine Records.

Two years ago, she followed Link's advice and spent $1 million to buy 8% of Big Machine Records. Counting the 5% half-sale and half-giveaway of Big Machine Records in 2006, she now holds 13% of Big Machine shares. .

Taylor is now the mainstay of Big Machine Records. Her rise and fall are closely related to the company, and also related to whether her investment will be in vain. She also had to take on more responsibility in this matter.

“When you receive a message and you have time to reply, try to reply as much as possible. Don’t make others think you are arrogant and difficult to deal with.”

Mrs. Andrea warned before leaving.

"knew."

Tyler kissed Mrs. Andrea on the cheek, picked up the phone, sat back in the chair and took a look, and found that it was a message from Link.

Now she will be very angry when she sees this bastard's name. If he hadn't done such a hateful thing while she was too excited before she woke up, she wouldn't be as troubled as she is now.

Can

 Without Link, there would be no Alexander and Cynthia.

Thinking of this, Taylor curled her lips helplessly, opened the fruit phone and took a look.

Link sent a message asking, where is it? Are Alexander and Cynthia okay?

 “What does it have to do with you? Alexander and Cynthia are my children.”

 After writing it, Taylor read it again, deleted it, and rewrote: They are fine, you don’t need to worry.

 Send after writing.

Ding dong!

 I received Link’s message soon.

Tyler raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction and clicked on the message.

Link said: It feels bad to hide the child like this. You are a public figure, and paparazzi often stare at you. As time goes by, the child's affairs will definitely be exposed, and it will have a greater impact on you.

 In addition, children will grow up. When they grow up, they find that they are non-existent people. This will affect their mental health and they may hate us.

 This is not good. We should recognize the mistake and correct it as soon as possible while the matter can be undone. What is your opinion?

　　Seeing the sentence 'The children will hate us', Taylor couldn't help but his eyes turned red again. He pressed down the alphabet and said: This is all your fault. It's all your fault, you bastard. You are the most hateful man in the world.

“Yes, it’s my fault. I want to correct it now. Can you give me a chance?”

Link asked.

Tyler wiped away tears angrily.

 I don’t know why, but I always shed tears easily after giving birth.

She snorted coldly and sent a message asking: "Do you know anything? Did you arrange those people outside the manor? Bastard, I don't let you see the child, so you come to rob it?"

"Someone robbed the child? When did it happen? Is the child okay?"

Link asked.

 “Didn’t you arrange those people?”

“No, I heard in February that you had an accident and the child was gone. I didn’t believe it. I arranged for detectives to investigate the situation afterwards and got some news that the child was indeed fine.

 After knowing that the child was fine, I no longer arranged for anyone to investigate so as not to disturb the child.

  Later I sent a message to ask Annie, and Annie was forced to tell me that the child was fine and told me not to worry. Later I sent a message to ask Annie if I could see the child, but you tricked me into going to Switzerland.

 What do you mean by robbing a child? Is anyone here to **** Alexander and Cynthia? "

Link asked.

 Taylor couldn't help but wrinkled his nose when he saw what he said about being tricked by her into going to Switzerland. He didn't see the obvious flaw in Villa 13. It was because he was too stupid, not because he deceived him.

"No one snatched the children, but Michelle, the bodyguard at the manor, said that recently some strangers came outside the manor, always watching the manor. The children's nanny was also followed when she went out. I think the child's affairs should be exposed. ”

Taylor said.

 “What are you going to do? How about we talk in person?”

"no!"

Taylor deleted 'no' and replaced it with 'inconvenient', and continued to write the message: "Let's talk like this. I'm going to disclose the existence of Alexander and Cynthia. Anne has already arranged it."

“Is this likely to affect your career?”

Link said.

"I do not mind!"

Tyler clicked the typed sentence and sent it over.

"Is there anything I can do? Don't worry. Although I also want to take Alexander and Cynthia with me personally, I know they are more important to you. I won't compete with you. I just hope I can do something."

Link said.

 “Hmph! You’re not afraid of a big **** if you do this, you know?”

Taylor deleted the big butt, changed it to ‘your fiancée’, and then changed it to ‘Ivaka’ and sent it.

“Actually, Ivaca already knows about this, and she also thinks that I should do something. She also said that you are relatively young, and it is difficult for one person to handle such a thing. It would be better for one more person to take responsibility.”

Link said.

“Yes, Ivaca is so kind and considerate. Congratulations on finding a good woman.”

 After writing it, I read it over. I was originally going to delete it and change it to "I don't need your help", but my ring finger accidentally touched it and sent it, and then it showed that it was sent successfully.

Taylor patted the bangs on his forehead, and then clicked to block Link's account, not wanting to hear his ramblings anymore.

But after a few minutes, the phone rang.

Taylor took the phone and glanced at it. It was Ivaca’s phone number. She blinked her blue eyes.

"What's your business?"

 “Tyler, I think we need to talk.”

Ivaka's charming and cold voice came from the phone.

Although it was not the first time he heard it, every time he heard this voice, Taylor would be surprised how a woman could practice so well that she could combine a coquettish voice with a serious tone.

This kind of voice is not only attractive to a scumbag like Link, but also a woman like her will find it very attractive when hearing it.

"What are you talking about? You stole Link, and you want to steal my child? I tell you, it's impossible!"

Taylor said in a voice no weaker than Ivaca’s.

A chuckle came from the phone, "Children, I can give birth to three, four, and five, there is no need to **** yours. Taylor, we are not enemies, never have been, because we both love Link, we should be friends." "

 “I don’t love him!”

Taylor said.

“No matter what, there is one thing you must admit.

  If you are prepared to publicly acknowledge the existence of two children, you will be under great pressure and encounter great difficulties in the coming period.

 If you want your career not to be affected and the growth of your two children not to be interfered with by the outside world, it is best to have more allies at this time.

Link and I are both natural allies for you and your children. Let’s talk together and find ways to deal with this matter, make things simpler, and minimize the impact on your children. What do you think? "

Ivaca said slowly.

"What is your purpose for doing this? As far as I know, you are not a woman with random kindness. Everything you do is very utilitarian. What do you want to get from this?"

Taylor asked coldly.

Evaca sighed leisurely on the phone,

"Tyler, how about we talk about these things in person. The phone is actually the biggest obstacle for us to achieve effective communication. Only if we say some things in person can I understand them clearly and you can understand them. We don't need to be suspicious of each other across dozens of kilometers." ”

"good!"

 Taylor agreed and immediately received an address from Evaka. It was a cafe near Rodeo Drive in Beverly. She had been to it several times and it was relatively high-end.

Tyler thought for a moment and sent a message saying don't bring Link here. I'll be annoyed when I see him.

Evaka replied ‘OK, I’m annoying him too’.
