super actress

When Rhea received the death threat letter, she was shocked that something that endangered her personal safety was sent to her before she felt scared and disturbed.

"I'm sorry, but I have to deduct your salary for this month."

When she said this, Rhea was holding the paper in the envelope between two fingers. There was a long series of printed English words printed on the back of the fake admission notice, not the most vicious words she had ever seen in her life, but Definitely the most impactful.

Of course there are people who hate Rhea Noren in this world, but after all, not all the people who hate her want her to die.

Rhea's assistant, Home Duck, shrunk her neck subconsciously for the word "salary". When she began to serve as Rhea's assistant in all aspects of work and life, Rhea was undoubtedly the boss who was really responsible for her salary.

But Rhea wasn't addressing poor Miss Home, who had been busy for months, sacrificing her private life for work, but her titular bodyguard.

She has temporarily completed the part that needs her in the current "Lord of the Rings", and now they are resting in a hotel in New Zealand, and will fly to the UK the next day to take over the shooting and production of "Harry Potter".

"I thought you were sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. to protect me." Rhea knew that this could not be the real purpose of the other party, but this did not affect her taking the opportunity to attack, "I can't believe it! You are a well-trained agent , and you let this terrible thing approach me!"

The accused man stood with arms folded, staring at the other two women in the room with a frown, and he rolled his eyes before frowning.

He's an attractive blond man with a personality so different from the popular Hollywood aesthetic that, in most cases, this small gesture of rude impatience will be forgiven.

but not now.

If Home had been on better terms with the bodyguard, she would have reminded the gentleman who called himself Hawkeye that he shouldn't try to provoke Rhea at a time like this.

Hawkeye quickly retorted: "Whatever you want, but I want to remind you that S.H.I.E.L.D. is paying my salary, not you. Take it easy, okay, little girl, this is just a piece of paper with black and white letters on it. The hidden weapons fired are not poisonous substances that dissolve in the air, you will not die!"

She knew her reaction was a little exaggerated, but so what, she was an actress and not a real agent, and anyway, Hawkeye shouldn't be mocking her at a time like this.

"Yes, I won't die now." Rhea sneered unceremoniously: "Who knows what the next time will be. After all, you can't even do this level of investigation. I doubt my personal safety."

When Hawkeye was at a loss for words, Rhea took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Since you don't want to be responsible to me at all, only to your organization, then I should have the right to ask for a more responsible person to protect me. Anyway, I Definitely need a 'protector'."

Rhea has no tendency to be abused. When she is worth tens of millions of clubs and is protected by awards, she gets all kinds of preferential treatment wherever she goes. Even if she attends an interview at Harvard University, the interviewer will know who she is.

In this situation where there are almost thousands of favors, it is absolutely impossible for her to have a good impression of the opposite sex who ignores her because of some special indifference and cold treatment like the setting in soap operas.

Hawkeye couldn't understand her, and she wouldn't like this man much.

She didn't reveal it before because there was no suitable reason, Rhea can be tough now.Through this period of getting along, she knows exactly how to make the other party unhappy: "Can you call another British person back, it will make me feel more secure."

A competitive man will never like to lose, especially to someone he doesn't like.

Staring at the sweet smile on the face of the young Hollywood stunner, Hawkeye not only did not feel the electric shock as described in the "Hollywood Reporter", but felt annoyed.

In his opinion, this is all the girl's unreasonable trouble.

Rhea Nolen is a public figure, she is very popular, of course there will be fans who will write letters and send gifts for her, but considering that once the fan channel is opened, there will definitely be mixed with haters who hate her, so her agent started from This behavior was expressly prohibited from the outset.

The ICM agency she belongs to also refused to accept gifts from fans.

Excluding these, the rest of the correspondence and emails are much simpler. It is not related to work or entertainment in the circle, even if it is family and friends, Rhea has an assistant to help with it, and the amount of work involved is not large.

But this time, the clever sunspot had a flash of inspiration and caught the loophole that Rhea and her team were eagerly waiting for the admission notice.

After all, people know that her goal is at Harvard, so they must be looking forward to Harvard's notice-and no one will open it to check, because the first person to open the admission notice should be Rhea herself, and they will even open it on the first day. Send it to Rhea for a while.

This plan

Almost perfect!

Even Rhea began to wonder why the other party didn't put some dangerous objects in it, maybe it could really kill her!

Seeing what she was thinking, Hawkeye tightened his face, "You can rest assured that if there is any dangerous thing inside, it will never be sent to your hands."

It passed those checks precisely because it was just a dangerous letter with a printed letter.

Rhea replied without thinking: "Ha! I knew it, you are indeed spying on me!"

The corners of the man's lips twitched slightly, he felt sad that he had fallen into such a cumbersome and unsolvable situation, so he sighed angrily: "So you want both the so-called privacy and absolute security, right? Maybe you will be more low-key in the future, Miss Actress, after all, the whole world knows that you want to go to Harvard!"

"I'm willing to make it public, and you are monitoring me, these are two different things." Rhea suddenly calmed down, as if the previous vent did not exist, "Why can't I make a high profile? What is it that I need to be protected in secret? character?"

Hawkeye froze for a moment, his innate keen intuition and long-term sense of crisis made him stop this conversation.

When he realized that he had been yelled at by a 19-year-old girl, he only felt even more aggrieved. After regaining his composure, Hawkeye still rolled his eyes angrily: "You know, I started to believe that you and Andre Werther really has an affair, you two are a perfect match!"

Now Rhea was really angry, even though she knew it was a retaliation: "Stop fantasizing about young girls younger than you, old man, you can go and find out who wrote the letter! Come on, you're an agent, right?"

"Old-man?"

Even if Hawkeye is indeed older than Rhea, this description is a bit too much, Rhea has never been so mean to the middle-aged Phil Coulson.

Of course they broke up unhappy, and Rhea's assistant was quiet for a long time, not interjecting with a wink, and after Hawkeye left, she said: "Well, you must be in a bad mood, I don't care Knowing that you can still make such a big fire."

Even in Rhea's own cronies, the adjectives she represents are calm and conscientious.

It may not make her lovable, but it definitely means less hassle, which is why her publicists tend to like her more than any other client.

Rhea threw the disappointing fake notice on the table, "You'll know later, Holm, that I'm just a

Hypocrisy saint who overacts, I actually have a terrible temper. "

"There's nothing wrong with that." No matter what he thought in his heart, Holm showed tolerance, "You're only 19 years old, try to be as self-willed as possible while you're still young."

As one of the people who have spent the longest time with Rhea, Holm has a certain understanding of this young and famous female star: "But you are not angry about the danger of death, are you? These words are quite scary, but absolutely It couldn't have been worse than that car accident—”

"This sucks!"

Rhea covered her face with her hands: "Just 15 minutes ago - I thought I was actually accepted to Harvard! Damn it! God, this bastard is cursing me to death, and I probably want to kill her more! "

She wasn't expecting this so much before, but the moment she got the admission letter from Harvard, she found out it was fake!

"she?"

Home caught on to the man's point: "You can tell it's a woman?"

Rhea let out a sigh of frustration. She was not ashamed at all that she took the opportunity to vent her anger to the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Yes, she did it on purpose, and the other party was not completely innocent anyway.

"It's all about me being a goddamn shameless whore - I probably stole the man she loves, I know that's not evidence, just put it down to gut feeling." Rhea put death The danger letter is shown to Home.

After arguing with Hawkeye, she still couldn't calm down: "You know what? I think the danger of death may not be the real goal of the other party. The disappointment after this kind of surprise is the weapon that can really kill me..."

She was just a little bit closer to calling her family to announce the good news!

"Oh, Rhea!" Holm sighed, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you are not alone, someone will take care of all this."

This sentence made Rhea recover from the sudden negative emotions. She stared at her assistant with those dark blue eyes, "Tell me, you haven't notified him yet!"

Rhea didn't even say her name, and Holm realized who she was referring to, and then she quickly took out her phone and typed while replying with her mouth: "Damn it, I almost forgot!"

"Forgive me, my dear, you know I have to tell Metus the first time, he has long wanted to win a victory on this." She quickly dialed a number and put the phone to her ear When the time comes, Holm can still comfort Rhea: "Who would have thought that such a thing--"

"It's only been 10 minutes, which is not enough time for typesetting a quick layout!"

"But it only takes a minute or two to post this news to the online media." Rhea lay down as if giving up. Before that, she had been barely sitting on the chair, "Forget it, let it be."

The call to the agent hadn't been made yet, but Holm's reaction was quick and clear, "Internet media is easier to deal with. We have a troll army we have cultivated ourselves. You know we can turn around and accuse the media of spreading rumors. This only It takes a little price."

"You sound so much like him!" Holm is like a female version of Malloy—her manager, and Rhea couldn't help laughing even at this moment: "It doesn't really matter, I'm just simple." Feel so lost."

"There are many ways to deal with all this." Rhea said with confidence, "It's not a big deal, I just didn't get the admission letter from the first target university, and I also got a death letter. Threat letters — that might get me headlines, too."

The feeling of shock after the joy and the depression of being hated by strangers enveloped her, Rhea clearly realized that she was not as cold as she showed, well, she really cared about this, "but it's all about solving my problems fail."

"Just consider me an egomaniac, Holm, I haven't failed in a long time."

She took a deep breath: "I mean failure in the true sense - it all went so fucking well, I did Titanic, and then I got Lord of the Rings and Haribo Special! I'm not even 20, does that make sense?"

From this perspective, Rhea is able to accept the various crises she has experienced, and she should indeed suffer some "punishment" for such a lucky person.

What makes Rhea unacceptable is that after all this, she has become so vulnerable in front of this matter-she could have handled it better.

"Wait a minute!" Holm made a pause gesture with his free hand, "I know you are suffering now, but can we have a psychological consultation at another time, I am not a suitable candidate, let's deal with it first Is this okay?"

Holm is really worried that Malloy can't wait to announce the news of "Harvard admission". This kind of news is very troublesome to deal with. It is best to avoid it. If things are reversed, she will definitely be caught by Rhea's agent. to blame.

At times like this, Rhea knew she had to listen to the team, so she closed her eyes.

mouth.

As soon as the phone call was made, Holm explained in front of Rhea: "...I'm sorry, things have changed a bit, and you haven't notified the media yet, have you? There is a problem with the admission letter—"

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by a sudden male voice: "Congratulations, you have indeed been admitted to Harvard University."

The sudden male voice startled them. It turned out that Hawkeye who had slammed the door before turned back. Compared with the loud closing sound of expressing dissatisfaction, when he came back it was almost silent.It's ample proof that Hawkeye can be a great agent when he wants to.

It's just that most of the time, he's not 100% willing to serve Rhea Noren.

Two female voices overlapped together: "What?"

"Just in case, I just went to confirm it." Hawkeye walked to Rhea from the door, and quickly picked up the forged notice in her hand, "I'll take this."

Rhea suppressed the urge to ask again and again. She stared at Hawkeye for a while, until the other party reassured: "Okay, I will find out who is behind the scenes soon, and this kind of thing will not happen again."

"You'll get the real admission letter soon. It's a decent thing. It might have something to do with the school's mailroom."

Maybe it was because of his attitude problem, maybe it was to comfort Rhea, Hawkeye explained something a little bit, and he looked serious.

However, he still couldn't pretend to be a serious person for too long, and he showed his prototype after a while, and he raised one corner of his mouth: "Now you won't lose, don't you worry?"

She didn't stop Hawkeye from taking the evidence, and Rhea didn't react until she was sure that the other party really went out and couldn't see the figure.

Home's reflex arc was longer, and it was the person on the phone who urged her before she came back to her senses.

"What's the matter?"

Malloy is an agent with excellent business ability, but this does not mean that he is a good person. In Hollywood, these two attributes are often incompatible.

And he has always had great enthusiasm for taking revenge on his opponents, so Malloy was very eager: "Is there any problem with the admission letter?"

He is eager to knock down all those who step on him. Rhea is his most important client, and stepping down on her is something that Malloy cannot tolerate.

"—No, it's okay." Holm choked, "No, there is something, Rhea received a death threat, I think we should take it seriously..."

After recounting the whole story, Home ended the call. She looked at Rhea, "I think he will come to ask you again."

"I guess so." Rhea nodded knowingly.

"Okay, now you can continue, lucky baby, tell your troubles about being too smooth, I will try my best to comfort you, and try not to slander you with jealousy in my heart." Home spread his hands and made an open embrace pose.

"Or, you can try to continue the previous joy - you were really admitted to Harvard!"

Out of a certain trust in Hawkeye's identity, no one suspected that he was lying about it.

Rhea was silent for a while before letting out a breath: "Fuck his luck, forget what I said, my brain twitched for a while, everything I am here is for success, there is nothing to question."

The only thing that made Rhea hesitate - she was just so used to success that it almost made her forget more important things.

She tried to manipulate the media, which is what her entire team was working on, and in the end, Rhea herself was affected by the news reports that exaggerated the fight.

For a moment, she was really thinking about winning or losing.

But the fact is - she can continue to work hard if she fails, and she deserves it if she succeeds.

And then Rhea quickly came out of this corner because she really realized what was really important.

Under her intentional or unintentional probing, Rhea has come to understand that Hawkeye's target is not her manager who has a secret, but herself.

The desire and pursuit of fame and fortune is the professional instinct of stars, but the perception and prediction of danger is the survival nature of human beings.

After a series of emotional changes, Rhea can no longer feel the excitement when she just got the admission letter, but she should still share the news with her family.

This is a moment exclusively for Rhea, and Holm left with empathy. Although they will leave the "Lord of the Rings" crew and go to England to deal with various matters on the shooting site of "Harry Potter", but now, she And be able to enjoy the moment.

There is no media to deal with, no complicated power relations, no work tasks, temporarily...

The call was quickly connected, and Rhea lowered her voice: "Hey, I have some good news for you now—"

However, to Rhea's surprise, the person who answered the phone was not her parents, but her brother-Peter Parker.

Actually there are so

For a moment, she couldn't figure out who the immature boy's voice was on the phone, until the other party asked her for proof.

"Rhea, are you Rhea?"

"It's me, Peter, hello." Rhea greeted the other party, and out of complex feelings of guilt, she made her voice look extra friendly: "What are you doing?"

"I'm watching TV and you're reading Harry Potter on it."

Rhea realized that it was a half-variety and half-documentary program of BBC casting, no wonder Peter recognized her voice.

At Peter's age, he was able to remember Rhea, who was not often at home, thanks to the omnipotent TV.

"Hope that's not too boring." Rhea smiled. "Are Mom and Dad home?"

"Yes, but they look very bad. If you have good news, maybe they will become a little happier." After saying that, Peter put the phone down and went to Rhea's parents. Rhea didn't have time to ask him what happened. What.

While waiting for the other party to answer the phone, Rhea's mood sank again. Obviously something happened to her family, and she didn't even know what happened.

So as soon as there was a sound on the phone, Rhea asked quickly: "Mom? I heard from Peter. Are you all right? What happened?"

Although May Parker is Rhea's adoptive mother, she has always regarded Rhea as her own daughter. After hearing these words of concern, she poured out everything: "You are too busy these days, I originally wanted to I'll tell you later, we have nothing to do—it's Peter's parents."

"They had an accident." Mei's voice was unsteady. "I don't even know how to tell Peter. The accident, the arrangement of the funeral...these things are too many, too unexpected, no one can think of it."

After speaking for a while, May gradually calmed down again. This news has obviously caused a major blow to the Parker family.

"The funeral is next week, and Ben is busy with these things." May sounded much calmer, and she announced something very important: "Listen, Rhea, we decided to adopt Peter, and I'm sorry we did it without telling you Such a decision, but——

"You don't have to apologize to Mom, I understand, I will support you, he is our family." Rhea guessed this decision, she was not surprised, "I'm sorry, I am not with you at this time around."

Mei's voice became gentle and peaceful: "Obviously you are going to college soon, and you have been working in the film crew, God

, You are really working too hard, but we can't devote so much energy to caring about you. "

"No, it's okay, you know I can handle it all." Rhea comforted her mother: "I just want to tell you, I got the acceptance letter from Harvard!"

Mei fell down again, and she sighed: "I'm really proud of you, you have always been so good. I'm sorry, we can't generate the excitement we should have at this time, you obviously deserve better celebration-this It's just so unfortunate."

"But I have always believed that you are the best girl in the world. I believe more than anyone that you will succeed." Mei emphasized: "I just want you to know that these things happened so suddenly, so we Get flustered, but we definitely don't mean to ignore your feelings."

"You're as important as Peter, you know? There's no preference for one of you because of blood relationship, gender, or any other factor."

These words followed one after the other, making Rhea's heart ache slightly, "I haven't said anything yet, Mom, you are like a cheapskate who cares about me with children, please, we are a family."

Mei was very calm: "Who knows what messed things you will think in your heart, Rhea, you have worked hard enough, I don't want to let the family become another burden for you. You only need to work hard for your dreams, we can Take care of other things."

"Stop it, Mom, don't try to make me cry."

All negative emotions have been miraculously emptied, and even though Rhea knows that the future will not be that simple, and she still has a lot to do, she has new motivation.

It didn't take long before she made up her mind: "I'll be back for Uncle Richard and Aunt Mary's funeral."

Family affection is a very wonderful fetter. Even though Parker's blood and genes do not flow in her body, she is endowed with a part of the soul of this family, so even if she has never met her uncle and aunt, she still loves her. This produces a kind of sorrow and nostalgia similar to synaesthesia.

Compared with this emotion, Rhea has only indifference and disgust for the real parents of this body.

After her biological mother was imprisoned for life, Rhea's attempt to find her biological father was nothing more than to confirm those unknown areas. She was not interested in the man who provided Mi Qingzi, nor did she think about pursuing blood.She already has the best father and mother.

There are many things that make Rhea suspicious, she just simply feels that no one will calm down

In vain to show favor to herself for no reason, or entangle her, especially people like Andre Witte, even the British government and the US secret service organization——

The star halo bestowed on her by the media is just a popular label, and Rhea would not really think that she is Helen or Venus.

As a well-known figure, she is exposed to the camera most of the time, and Rhea also knows everything about herself. The only thing she doesn't know is the mysterious and unknown father.

She gave the task to her manager, Malloy, but Rhea never had much confidence. There are too many men who have a physical/physical relationship with a call girl, and it is too difficult to find, and she has no confidence in her. The desire to find a biological father is not as strong, so the success rate of this matter is almost equal to zero.

Putting all these factors together, it shows just how incredible it would be when the man was found by the dear and capable agent, Malloy.

When she got his call, Rhea thought he was asking about a death threat letter or confirmation of admission.

But Malloy overturned all guesses with one word.

"Although I don't want to tell you this at all, I think you would want me to tell you the first time." He lowered his voice slightly, revealing an uncoordinated heaviness: "Riya, I might You have found your real father."

Originally, Rhea wanted to tell him to change the original plan and return to the United States to attend the funeral, but now she can only spit out: "This is not an appropriate joke."

"It's not the right time either."

Rhea could imagine Malloy's expression from the tone of this sentence. It must not be a friendly expression. It seems that both she and the assistant guessed wrong. He has not been thinking about Natalie Portman for a while. Angry with her "Harvard fight".

This is indeed more reasonable. Even Malloy couldn't exaggerate to this extent. He has always been an overly shrewd person and would never spend too much energy on one thing.

And that can only mean worse!

It seemed that the man who might be her biological father was not acceptable to Malloy, and Rhea didn't think she would be more tolerant than him.

Malloy explained a little bit: "To be precise, he found me on his own initiative."

"You know that's all bullshit! God knows how many men claiming to be my 'father' after I became famous would like to release a full sex/love tape to prove that they did have an affair with Jones

Have a relationship. "

Rhea has restrained her emotions so much that she hasn't even mentioned the name of Jones, her biological mother, for several years.

"Let's put aside the matter of the movie. You go back to New York tomorrow, and I will stay there for a week. Let's meet and talk about it." Malloy didn't want to say more on the phone.

Rhea didn't expect that she had just been bathed in the warmth of family affection, and she was about to accept this, "We're in trouble, aren't we, Matthew?"

The man quickly adjusted his mood and answered her: "I hope not."

To be honest, even if she could get the real Harvard acceptance letter immediately, Rhea would not be happy.

The shadow from the past had been dormant for so long, but at this moment it came out to bite her.

The author has something to say:

...I never expected that I actually have a list (—口—)
