In America, the winner takes all.

Chapter 362 Invincible
Ethan received a call from William within ten minutes after the anomaly occurred, and he was responsible for network operations.

"Ethan, there has been a surge in page visits to the Los Angeles Angels a few minutes ago. The current server simply cannot meet the demand for so many visits. We are trying our best to rescue and restore access as soon as possible."

Ethan put down his phone and looked at Stephanie Seymour opposite.

After being besieged by the fanatical Salvation Army members, Stephanie was directly rescued by Ethan. At this moment, she was wrapped in a blanket and staying safely in the VIP room.

"Are you satisfied now?" Stephanie said to Ethan with a bit of resentment. You could see a few bruises on her neck. She had been tightened by a middle-aged woman just now.

"Really don't need to go to the hospital?" Ethan put his phone in his pocket and asked.

"They're just superficial injuries, they're fine." Stephanie shook her head.

The two began to review the abnormality just now.

Ethan was inspired by Janetgate five years later.

Michael Jackson's daughter, Janet Jackson, was invited to participate in the halftime performance of Super Bowl XXXVIII. Her performance partner at the time was Justin Timberlake, nicknamed Boss Jia. During the concert, Boss Jia pulled off Janet's clothes... Although the director quickly switched shots, Jenny's "vital part" was still revealed in front of the national audience for about a second.

The performer immediately stated that it was a performance accident, but public opinion obviously did not think so. There were endless speculations such as "Jenny planned it", "Justin planned it", "Producer planned it", etc.

Whether it was a deliberate marketing gimmick or a simple performance accident, the "Jennygate" incident has attracted widespread attention. This incident has become the most searched news on the English Internet for two consecutive years, and Janet Jackson has also broken the record for the most searches in one day. The co-founder of YouTube also said that this incident directly led to the establishment of the video sharing website.

This incident gave rise to a new phrase in English - "wardrobe malfunction", which refers specifically to accidental exposure caused by clothing.

However, the difficulty of re-engraving was beyond imagination. Things began to get out of control starting from the exhibition game, and Ethan had to give up the plan.

But Stephanie took it upon herself to take the initiative and angered the volunteers from the Salvation Army who were standing on the sidelines. For these people, Stephanie Seymour's behavior was obviously unacceptable, so they rushed forward and broadcast on the live broadcast. launched an attack on Stephanie.

Stephanie's clothes were torn off and she was bullied by a group of Salvation Army women on the live broadcast. The nature was much worse than "Jennygate".

Any voice of doubt now will be interpreted as a secondary injury to the victim Stephanie Seymour. Unlike the Jenny Gate in the previous life, this time Stephanie Seymour, together with the cheerleading team, event organizers, Victoria's Secret, and Iraq Mori himself will stand on the unshakable moral high ground.

Not only has the goal of publicity been achieved, but it has also become a victim, and the "archway" has been directly welded to death, so that in the foreseeable future it will evolve into a "zzzq", a kind of invincible golden body in public opinion.

Therefore, Ethan did not offer any comfort to Stephanie Seymour, but instead congratulated her.

"You will become the most famous woman in this country in the next two years!" Ethan nodded.

"Save it, I'm done with it, I won't even be able to walk on the catwalk again." Stephanie obviously didn't believe what Ethan said and just thought he was talking nonsense.

From Stephanie's perspective, she was involved in a shocking scandal. The situation at that time was too complicated. She only remembered that as soon as she heard her mother's words, a ball of anger ignited in her heart, so that she made an impulsive act. matter.

Obviously, Stephanie has not yet understood the true meaning of "journalism". The media only cares about whether a person is famous or not, but does not care at all how the person became famous. Paris Hilton and the Kardashian family are typical examples of this. represent.

Ethan is not in a hurry to prove himself, the facts do not need any whitewashing.

The next second, the door to the VIP room suddenly opened, and Razek walked in quickly.

"The religious fanatics who attacked you have been taken away by the police. We will hire the best lawyers to seek justice for you. In addition to these people, the Salvation Army must also bear responsibility," Razek said. Stephanie and Ethan after they leave.

No matter how you say it, Stephanie Seymour is still an A-list supermodel, and she is also an American supermodel. In the eyes of the judge and jury, this "bullying" incident will obviously have an indelible impact on her career and a huge amount of damage. loss.

As an international organization with millions of members, the Salvation Army would have to spend at least millions of dollars if it wanted to reconcile.

But there wasn't much joy on Stephanie's face.

After Razek tried to comfort her for a few words, he then turned to Ethan.

"I have a hunch that this will become the most sensational marketing event in the history of communication!" Razek couldn't hide his excitement. Whether it was the cheerleaders or Victoria's Secret who participated in the event, it was widely discussed. Even with an unlimited budget, this effect may not be achieved.

If Stephanie, the victim, hadn't been there, he would have just opened a bottle of champagne in the VIP room to celebrate.

"We have to celebrate tonight." He approached Ethan and whispered.

·
"After Stephanie Seymour heard about the joint event between Victoria's Secret and the cheerleading team, out of gratitude to Victoria's Secret, she took the initiative to participate in the event without even charging extra compensation."

"If I could, I wish this had never happened and time could go back."

Facing many shots, Ethan's face was sad, his voice was low and hoarse, and he looked full of regret.

"But no one can change the outcome. As Winston Churchill said: The important thing is to have the courage to move on! The moment Stephanie Seymour stood on the field, she was already a close friend of mine. I will Stand firmly behind her, help her resist all injustice and harm in the world, and make the perpetrators pay the price they deserve!" Ethan announced impassionedly.

This prompted applause from reporters on the scene, especially those who were female.

Next, Ethan extended:
"Her experience also gave me inspiration. There are many people like her in this world. They may be at home, in the office, or cheering on the sidelines. I have decided that the Angels cheerleading team will Use a portion of the profits to establish a charitable foundation dedicated to helping women in prison and suffering. May God bless them."

Under the atmosphere of the scene, some female reporters' eyes were red and they were about to cry.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ethan will avoid being involved in the vortex of public opinion about "consuming women". Playboy once stumbled on this matter, and charitable foundations also have certain advantages in taxation.

In addition to Ethan, Jones, league commissioner Paul, and Victoria's Secret representative Razek all made similar remarks in front of the camera.

However, at the banquet organized by Old Jones that night, these people all changed their faces.

"I can guarantee that this exhibition match will appear on the front page of all media tomorrow. Let's raise a toast and pay high respect to Ethan!" Paul took the lead and stood up, with a slight blush on his face at this moment.

This afternoon, he also held an emergency conference call with Fox TV executives to discuss possible impacts.

The TV station is an indirect victim of this. Beyond that, benefits accrue to all parties involved.

Everyone else present also stood up. In addition to the three bosses and Razek, there were also three children of old Jones at this table.

"Your man played this trick beautifully! No wonder my father chose to let the past go." Jerry Jones II whispered to his sister as he stood up.

"He has nothing to do with me." Charlotte immediately lowered her voice and denied.

"And I don't agree with this ugly marketing method, or I feel contempt for it." Charlotte then added quietly.

As the main table stood up, staff at other tables in the banquet hall, including the DCC, Angel Cheerleaders, and contracted Victoria's Secret models who were participating in the exhibition competition, also stood up one after another.

"Ethan, do you have any experience to share with everyone?" Paul said.

"By the way, can you tell Mr. Jones how you laid it out?" Razek also pretended to be teasing and said with a smile.

Ethan looked around, and most of the people were looking at him expectantly, waiting for him to share his secrets...

"This is all just an accident." Ethan had to say.

The whole thing was an accident after all.

"Yes, it was just an accident. Life is full of accidents." Old Jones said at this time.

"Let's pay tribute to the 'accident'!" Razek raised his glass high.

In the following chat, Jones Sr. and Paul talked about the preparations for the Cowboys' planned new home, and then they talked about the Angels.

The home court of the Angels can be considered a worry for Ethan right now. Michael Ovitz shied away from this matter in every possible way. Building a home stadium requires a lot of money, and it is really difficult for Ethan himself to promote it.

He shared his troubles.

Old Jones and Paul just comforted him and talked nonsense. When Ethan tried to seek financial help from them, these two old foxes immediately changed the subject.

"Ethan, you are the expert when it comes to cheerleading. We will have a lot to learn from you in the future." Old Jones looked at his daughter.

"Charlotte, in the future, DCC will have more business cooperation and resource exchanges with the Angel Cheerleaders. You and Ethan will also need to keep in touch. Do you hear me?"

Charlotte said "Oh" and then lowered her head, wondering what she was planning.

Old Jones has tasted the benefits of cooperating with the Angel Cheerleaders this time, and naturally wants to continue the cooperation.

Are you really not afraid that the Cowboys’ surname will be O’Connor in a few years? Ethan thought.

The first half of the palace battle between Charlotte and her brother ended with Charlotte losing, but she was not out and still had a chance to make a comeback.

"I admire Charlotte very much." Ethan said with a smile.

"This is a good thing. If Ms. Charlotte and Ethan can come together, it will make a huge contribution to the development of the two clubs." Razek said immediately with a smile.

"I also agree with this point of view, but I don't know what you think, Jerry?" Paul also nodded immediately.

This is not without precedent in the NFL. For example, the Rooney and Mara families. As long as the two families maintain absolute control over their respective clubs, there will be no problem. Once these two upstarts unite, they will surely emerge as a force in the league. new power. As a league commissioner, of course I hope this happens. The more internal chaos there is and the less unified the opinions, the greater the power he, as a league commissioner, will have.

"How can I see it? Charlotte's legs are grown on her own body. Charlotte's attitude is my attitude." Old Jones also said with a smile. Of course he valued Ethan very much, even It can be said that I like it, and even have some regrets. If I had known that Ethan was what he is now, I shouldn't have stopped him in the first place.

"It seems like all the old guys want to push you towards Ethan!" The younger brother whispered to his older sister again.

"I don't agree!" Charlotte immediately raised her head.

"Charlotte, you are getting older. I have watched you grow up. I would say that you and Ethan are very suitable." Paul said immediately.

"I...I don't like football players," Charlotte responded.

"Ethan is more than just an athlete. I can guarantee that his influence in the future will not be limited to the NFL." Razek also spoke for Ethan.

"He has too many partners. I can't accept this kind of family structure." Charlotte shook her head again. In any case, she just didn't want to.

"Charlotte, you have to respect Ethan's Mormon faith!" Old Jones said just now that he only listens to his daughter's opinions, but now he is on the opposite side of his daughter.

"Then do you respect me?! Have you considered my feelings?" Charlotte looked at everyone one by one.

"boom!"

Old Jones patted the table.

"Don't put yourself on the opposite side of everyone. When you enjoy a privileged life and a respected status, you should know that there will be a day. I have given you enough time, but you are here every day. What are you doing? Procrastinating, prevaricating, and evading day after day. You can’t continue to be so willful. You have grown up and it’s time to take responsibility, even if you don’t want to.”

This is to force her to agree by pressing her head.

After what happened today, Ethan has completely become a famous person in the NFL. Many people are watching. It’s not like the Rooney and Mara families don’t have young descendants. The Hunter family also has them. As time goes by, I really don’t know if Ethan Sen's mind will change.

Ethan looked at an empty seat not far away at this time. It belonged to Stephanie, but now it was empty. The family tragedy contributed to her behavior today. Ethan understood that forcing a melon is not sweet. So he took the initiative to speak:
"I think there is no need to be so anxious about this matter. Cooperation between the Angels and Cowboys is imperative, and there are still many opportunities for the two of us to get familiar with each other."

This can be regarded as relaxing the matter temporarily.

The parties involved all spoke, and Old Jones and Paul could only nod for the time being.

"That's right, getting married is a big deal after all." Paul said.

After all, he didn't say a word. He could have done this, and then watched helplessly as he was forced into a corner and enjoyed the results... Charlotte felt slightly grateful to Ethan in her heart.

Then she stood up and prepared to leave.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere tonight. After the banquet, let Ethan take you back and discuss future cooperation with him." Old Jones stopped him immediately.

Charlotte sat down again helplessly.

In the blink of an eye, the banquet was over. Ethan asked the Angel Cheerleaders to go back to rest. Before leaving, Razek quietly mentioned to Ethan that there would be a smaller party later, and the two sons of old Jones would participate. In addition, some Victoria's Secret models will also be present.

"If Charlotte doesn't want you to go upstairs, there are still other models who can replace her. I deliberately avoided Heidi Klum. She doesn't know about this." Razek said while adjusting Ethan's collar.

After accomplishing a big event, Victoria's Secret Razek is also preparing to entertain relevant partners in a more welcoming way.

"You only need to tell me a name, and leave the rest to me. Any name will do..." Ethan turned his eyes to the group of models who were putting on coats and preparing to leave, and then told Razek a name. .

"This..." Razek looked embarrassed.

"She is not within the scope of my commitment. She is too famous. You have to find another one. Anyone can do it except her."

"Forget it, I'm not interested in anything else." Ethan shook his head.

Seeing Ethan's persistence, Razek could only say that he would test the other party, but there was no guarantee that he could successfully bring her to Ethan.

After communicating with Razek, Ethan turned around and sent old Jones and Paul away with others.

"As a father, I certainly hope that Charlotte can stay with me forever, but it is obviously impossible. I can see that she has you in her heart. It's all my fault for spoiling her. I beg you to treat her well." Be patient, and... I hope you can be nice to her." Before leaving, Old Jones called Ethan to the corner and said something heartbreaking.

On the contrary, it made Ethan a little embarrassed, it was too fast...

After the two old men left, Jones Sr.'s two sons also left in the same car, apparently going to Razek's appointment.

"What did he just say to you?" Charlotte immediately asked Ethan.

"Let me accommodate you more and say you will be left to me." Ethan shrugged.

Charlotte's throat was throbbing, and she didn't know whether to believe it or not.

Charlotte has a car and a driver. Rather than Ethan taking her back, it is better to say that it is Old Jones who is creating opportunities for the two of them to get close.

"Is this difficult for you? You have to send someone home who you don't like." Charlotte in the car kept looking out the window, not looking at Ethan.

Before Ethan could reply, Charlotte added:

"I know what you're thinking. All you value is my identity. Your partners are all prettier than me." Charlotte turned to the other side.

"Since my father wants us to get married, it's not impossible, but you can't interfere in my life. I can't guarantee that I will remain loyal to you. Of course, I will keep it a secret and not expose it to the public to avoid embarrassment for you. You also have to do it in public. To save my face, I must be your only recognized legal wife.”

The implication is that everyone can play their own way.

"There's no need at all." Ethan immediately shook his head.

Charlotte immediately turned her whole body around, with a look of relaxation on her face:

"You said this yourself."

"of course."

"Very good." Charlotte nodded, she finally found a way to restrain Ethan.

"You can touch me now! It's up to you, but as soon as you return to Los Angeles, I will date other men." She said with a bit of teasing.

This time he finally took the initiative.

She knows very well that a woman's betrayal is the ultimate weapon against Ethan.

"I have learned about the way of thinking of Mormon believers. Psychologists say that those men do this because of their inner lack of confidence and lack of confidence in women! Of course, you will never admit it, but the fact is the fact." She said with joy.

Ethan didn't reply.

"You can't answer, right? Do you really want to hit me? Then just hit me." She took the initiative to approach Ethan.

"Is it possible that we are just more lustful." Ethan shrugged.

Such frank words made Charlotte stunned for a moment, and then she immediately moved her body back and distanced herself from Ethan.

"Men are all the same, but you have to know that deeper love is not a demand, but a constraint."

Ethan was not prepared to discuss these futile things with her at all, and then brought the topic to the cooperation between cheerleaders.

Ethan plans to follow DCC's commercial sponsorship strategy. You must know that DCC has sponsors all over its body, from hair to stockings.

With the popularity of this joint brand, the Angels cheerleading team will no longer lack these sponsors. However, Kelsey does not know much about this aspect, but Charlotte is familiar with it, so Ethan wants to ask her for help to help the Angels. The cheerleading team has established a complete sponsorship system.

"You're giving up now? Haha." Charlotte's smile grew wider.

"As long as you never mention marriage again, I'll agree to it." She winked at Ethan.

"Okay! We won't talk about each other anymore, we will only talk about business." Ethan agreed.

"Then the sponsor matters will be taken care of by me." Charlotte nodded immediately.

After the two reached an agreement, the atmosphere was not as depressing as before.

Seeing Ethan agree so readily, Charlotte's attitude changed again.

"Ethan, maybe we really should get married, so that my father won't force me to marry other people in the future." She pretended to think.

You really think about it.

"No." This time it was Ethan's turn to refuse bluntly.

"Why? You like picking up girls so much, and I won't interfere with you." Charlotte directly put her hand on Ethan's leg.

"I have to consider their feelings."

"It seems you quite love them." Charlotte turned to look out the window again.

After a while, the car arrived at its destination.

Before getting out of the car, Charlotte said goodbye to Ethan.

"Charlotte, actually I have always wanted to say something to you." Ethan suddenly spoke at this time.

"I'm listening." Charlotte stopped.

"You don't have to like anyone, but don't be angry with yourself, let alone act self-destructively." Ethan said slowly.

Ethan couldn't accurately describe that feeling. He felt that Charlotte now was somewhat similar to Stephanie Seymour today. So he issued a warning.

"Thank you for your advice. We'll keep in touch about the Angels sponsorship." Charlotte didn't look back and got out of the car.

Ethan also got out of the car. At this time, the driver Peter also drove a car in front of Ethan. He had been following him just now.

After sitting in the car, Ethan unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, took out his cell phone, and saw the message Razek sent him.

"She does."

There is also a list of addresses attached to the back, which is a high-end private club in Dallas.

·
In the bathroom, there was the sound of rushing water. Charlotte curled up into a ball and leaned against the angle formed by the floor and the wall. She let the shower head splash and her wet hair stuck to her skin like seaweed. Water droplets slid down the curve of her curvy and thin back.

At this time, the advice Ethan gave her at the last moment repeatedly appeared in Charlotte's mind.

Don't take yourself too seriously! Charlotte snorted.

·
The elegantly decorated and luxurious box was filled with smoke. Ethan saw the two sons of old Jones, hugging an unknown model on the left and right. In fact, these were not signed models of Victoria's Secret. He did not know that they were Razek. Where do you find them? To participate in this exhibition match temporarily is to make up the number of people.

There is also a model with a beautiful face and slender figure beside Razek.

Ethan turned to look at the man on the other side who was talking to Stephen Jones. Ethan was no stranger to him at all - Epstein.

Apparently, he organized this small gathering.

Several people welcomed Ethan's arrival. Epstein did not mention the previous unpleasantness, but was very enthusiastic about Ethan.

"Ethan, your arrangements today are amazing!" Epstein rubbed his hands.

Several people asked Ethan to sit down. As soon as Epstein raised his hand, the other two young models standing next to him immediately came to Ethan and actively snuggled into Ethan's arms.

"Ethan, these girls have just turned 16. They came here on my private jet. Each one has a physical examination report. The quality is not bad, right? If there are any newcomers in the future, please inspect the goods first." Epstein smiled. said.

Ethan did not respond and turned to Razek.

"Why didn't she arrive?"

"He said he wanted to go back and dress up again." Razek nodded.

So Ethan waited here and overheard the conversation between Epstein and Jones Sr.'s two sons.

In his words, Epstein has transformed into a mysterious financial tycoon, and he is talking about those big names who are well-known. The two sons of old Jones can be considered to have seen the world, but when Epstein talked about these big shots, After some details, the two did not doubt Epstein's identity.

Obviously, after today's party, there will be two more people in Epstein's circle of friends.

Razek also found an opportunity to reveal the truth to Ethan. What was happening now was the premise of Epstein's budget.

Then Epstein deliberately lowered his voice and mentioned some financial investment projects. What he said specifically, Ethan couldn't hear clearly.

At this time, the model named by Ethan finally arrived. She was wearing a mini dress covered with sequins, and her long and slender legs were particularly eye-catching. While apologizing to Ethan, she sat affectionately on Ethan's bed. Next to Sen, she put on makeup and re-styled her look. She was carefully prepared, for fear that Ethan would be a little dissatisfied.

"Mr. O'Connor, it's an honor for you to like me." Tyra Banks held Ethan's arm.

The curves that countless men dream of are rubbing on Ethan’s arms.

While rubbing, Ethan looked at the black girl.

Ethan didn't hold back his strength, which made Tyra Banks' expression change slightly, but she still tried her best to keep her smile without a trace of unbearability.

"Does it hurt?" Ethan asked.

"Pain only exists in the body, but happiness can fill the soul. I don't want my low-level biological reaction to ruin your good mood." Tyra Banks responded with a smile.

Ethan let go of her, and then wiped the hand that touched her with a tissue.

Tyra Banks is still not angry. She has encountered far more serious forms of discrimination in private, and she can still keep her face straight.

"You are too weak, why don't you try to declare war on the injustices of this society." On the one hand, Ethan has a lot of contact with black people, and they are teammates. On the other hand, Ethan does not know them well.

"This is not weakness, sir, but a way of survival. In nature, weak lives must bear more pressure to survive. And I am in an industry full of white people." Tyra Banks said without being humble or condescending. said.

She was born into a black elite family, her father is a computer consultant in California, and her mother is a medical imaging technician. Unlike her compatriots struggling in poor neighborhoods, she is not full of resentment towards white people, and her favorable material conditions also make her She has more to talk to white people than black people. Her parents divorced when she was six, further fueling her independent streak. All in all, she is an atypical African American.

Ethan was noncommittal, then stood up and left the small gathering early.

Instead of taking Tyra Banks to the hotel, Ethan asked Peter to pull over.

Peter got out of the car naturally and stood a little further away, smoking and alert.

"You like being in the car?" Tyra Banks asked with a smile.

"No, I didn't come here to have fun." Ethan took off his coat, but that was all...
