Chapter 247: 247

When exactly did this start?

After the success of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", after the box office miracle of "Righteous Sea Heroes", or after the launch of "Schindler's List" in March last year... Who is the mastermind behind the scenes? Obviously Tracy Jacobs, and probably Ron Mayer too.

After the "Sugar-Coated Trap" audition opportunity appeared, Tracy and Lang happened to be in frequent contact with Sidney for the "Schindler's List" project; "Desperados" producer Arnold had just finished with Lang's biggest actor Michael - Douglas collaboration...is it all a coincidence? Obviously not.

If you want to think about it further, you can even guess that on New Year’s Eve, Brad Pitt’s agents Martin Baum and Tracy both had conversations with Uma, and Uma stayed; Ma took Hugo to Malibu for another three-week vacation, a real three-week isolation; don't forget, Michelle Pfeiffer mentioned at the Golden Globes that Uma was in an audition, and Uma was in an audition. Ma shied away and did not tell Hugo the truth; now, Uma is infinitely close to the heroine position of "Sugar Coated Trap"...

He couldn't think about it any longer. If he continued to think about it, Hugo felt that he would be drowned by his own thoughts, and he would fall into a situation where he couldn't extricate himself because of his wild thoughts.

Hugo looked at the paper and tried to calm himself, he kept telling himself to calm down, but it seemed too difficult. Hugo took a deep breath and took another deep breath, but his chest was still stuffy, as if he couldn't breathe. Hugo told himself that all of this was just his own speculation, not to mention whether it was Tracy and Long who were behind the scenes, or whether it was just absurdity. Rely on conjectures to draw conclusions. Uma should have a chance to explain, and he should have the right to know the truth: maybe, Uma had nothing to do with the whole thing.

Thinking about it now, Hugo chose to take the initiative and confront Anthony on the second day of the Golden Globe Awards. Although he was late for the audition of "Desperados", it added credible evidence for the so-called "big-name suspicion"; but Hugo The performance at the press conference ruined the whole plan, and now the situation has changed dramatically.

Although there are many discussions about the suspicion of big names, various media hold different opinions, so that the public opinion is not one-sided, and there are even many remarks that are favorable to Hugo; and everyone in the circle has their own opinions. The exclusive channel makes Hugo's innocence still retain a trace of pure land. It is conceivable that as long as Hugo persists in this wave of bombing, after people know that all this is just the media's own hype, Hugo's positive image will gradually recover.

However, Hugo doesn't have time to be thankful for his bravery, and he doesn't have time to worry about what will happen in the future. He just wants to know whether Uma's candidate for the "Sugar-Coated Trap" heroine is really a conspiracy, or is it still a conspiracy? Uma Ming knew that the situation behind still chose the opportunity of "sugar-coated trap", or it was just a coincidence.

Hugo hoped it was a coincidence, even if he was kidding himself.

"Hugo..." Joseph looked at Hugo's hard-to-recover smile, and his blood faded in an instant, and his entire face turned pale, which made Joseph feel uneasy for a while. He remembered when Hugo broke up with the female nurse. The pain, and the ring. Being tortured by the withdrawal reaction during poisoning made me feel like a ghost, not like a ghost.

Not only Joseph, but Charlize and Carl were also silent, and even the always cheerful Alex was quiet. Everyone looked at Hugo with worry, but they didn't dare to be too obvious, lest one of their own The expression became the last straw that broke Hugo.

Hugo raised his head slowly, and then showed a smile, yes, he smiled, "I'm fine, don't worry, it's just an audition. I'm happy for Uma, really. I'm fine." After that, Hugo He tucked the smile that didn't know what it felt like at the corner of his mouth, "Oh, I, I need to rest. Yes, I want to sit down and rest, you know, I didn't sleep well last night." Then Hugo took a deep breath, Calmly turned around and walked towards the hall, sat down quietly on the sofa, just sat there quietly, watching the NBA game being played back on the TV screen.

The rain fruit is really too calm, unbelievably calm, which is not in line with everyone's expectations, but instead makes everyone's anxiety grow wildly like weeds.

Hugo's trust in Uma was seen by everyone. Whether it was Joseph questioning the conversation between Uma and Martin on New Year's Eve, or Anthony throwing dirty water on Uma during the celebration banquet, Hugo did not hesitate. On the side of Uma, and Hugo did not doubt Uma at all afterwards, he trusted Uma so much, as if he treated this feeling.

From being cautious at the beginning, to being moved by Uma, approaching Uma step by step. Looking at Hugo's cautious steps towards Uma, you can see how easy this trust is. But now that all may be ruined, imagine how badly and horribly the blow to Hugo will be.

The four Joseph stood beside the dining table, staring at each other, bewildered. If Hugo vented his anger, they could try their best to comfort Hugo. Now Hugo is sitting there quietly, as if nothing had happened. In general, this uncharacteristic quietness is so terrifying.

"We shouldn't have said it." Karl picked up the pen dejectedly and wrote on the paper.

Charlize shook his head and wrote on the paper, "He will know sooner or later." Then, Charlize glanced at Joseph. In fact, Charlize had always been at odds with Uma, but she didn't say anything. Too many, the main thing is that she doesn't want to destroy her friendship with Hugo, because she is also not sure if she is substituting personal emotions. However, Joseph always knew about Charlize's suspicion of Uma, but he didn't expect it to erupt in such a way at such a moment.

Joseph understood Charlize's eyes. He originally regretted showing Hugo today's "San Francisco Chronicle", but now Joseph knew that he had to face it sooner or later.

It's like in this big-name suspicious incident, Joseph has contacted more media this week than he has in the past year combined. While dealing with the incident, Joseph unexpectedly widened his network a lot: Inside the circle After all, the perspectives of people are different, and many people can see that this time is deliberately targeting Hugo. Some people want to target Hugo, and naturally some people support Hugo. This is the status quo of the media. Only by grasping different perspectives can you stand out from the countless media competitions, so many people are willing to give help.

This incident has instead become an opportunity for Joseph to grow. Similarly, Hugo can only solve problems by facing them squarely, and escaping is always the best policy.

Looking at Hugo sitting quietly on the sofa, it seemed that nothing happened, but Joseph knew that if it was a normal Hugo, he must have been lazy on the sofa, and then put his right foot on the coffee table, Even the appearance of lying down was not serious, let alone sitting, but at this moment Hugo stubbornly straightened his waist and sat upright. The firm back line seems to reveal Hugo's final strength.

The door was opened, and everyone looked over in unison. The only person who had the key to the third floor but was not present was Uma.

Sure enough, Uma hid in embarrassment and closed the door in a hurry. She was wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a plaid scarf around her neck. I saw her taking off her disguise and sighing, " Huh, the reporters at the door are really troublesome, but fortunately my disguise is good enough." From Uma's brisk tone, she could tell that she was in a very happy mood, "Hey, everyone is here, good morning." Uma walked into the hall, saw everyone there, and greeted cheerfully.

Hugo stood up directly and gave Uma a face-to-face ceremony with a smile, as if nothing had happened, and said, "Why did you think you came here this morning? I'm not telling you, the reporters have been wandering around here recently, you just Don't come here."

"I haven't seen you for a week, I miss you." Uma said with a smile, looking at Hugo, who was perfectly normal, and raised the supermarket plastic bag in his hand, "And he brought you a bag for you. Come over with some food, you must be tired of ordering takeout every day." Uma walked to the restaurant and prepared to put everything in the refrigerator.

The four people standing in the restaurant looked at each other. They didn't know what happened to Hugo, so they didn't know what to do for a while. Charlize is the most sensitive. She also learned from Hugo and tried to say in her most normal tone, "Alex, didn't you just ask me to show you the show? Let's go, it's lunch time if we play again. ." Then, as usual, he simply nodded and said hello to Uma, and then pulled Alex, whose eyes were spitting fire, towards his room.

Alex is not good at concealing his mood, he obviously has no way to give a good face to Uma.

Joseph and Carl also reacted, and Joseph coughed lightly, "That...you, what did you buy? We originally planned to call for lunch..."

"Pizza!" Karl reminded next to him.

"Oh, yes, pizza." Joseph said quickly.

"Basic cooking, I know you seldom do it at home." Uma put the plastic bag on the table and began to take out the things.

Joseph saw the "San Francisco Chronicle" on the dining table and hurriedly pulled Lacar, "Hey, then I couldn't be more grateful. By the way, Carl, just now Charlize said that the wardrobe in her room needs to be moved, you can help Let's go." Then Carl and Carl slipped towards Charlize's room on the left side of the restaurant.

Of course Uma noticed the abnormality, but she thought that everyone just left the space for her and Hugo, so she didn't think too much, "Hehe, the seafood in the supermarket looks very good today, I bought some..." Uma After taking out everything, I saw the newspaper on the dining table, took it over, and then saw the words "San Francisco Chronicle", and then my eyes fell on the news on the upper left, which made Uma's hand. The seafood fell down, and then just froze in place.

At this time, Hugo also walked over to the restaurant, with a smile on his face, "What seafood? Too complicated dishes are too troublesome to cook." Then he walked to Uma's side and raised his hand to help.

"Hugo..." Uma looked at the newspaper in her hand, and then looked at the normal Hugo. She didn't know how to react: Did Hugo see the news? If he saw it, why didn't he react; if he didn't see it, why was the newspaper here. This unknown feeling made Uma's heart uneasy little by little, so that she didn't know what to do except call Hugo's name.
