[American Entertainment] The road to becoming a god

The police took Gaspar's mother, which was good news, but there was also bad news - when the policeman heard that Gaspar was underage, he notified the Child Safeguards Association, even though Joe stated that his guardian's After identifying, he couldn't stop him. Half an hour later, a well-dressed woman walked into Joe's office with a thick clip.

"Hello, I'm Alice from the Children's Protection Association. Next, I will understand and evaluate all aspects of your situation. Is this okay, Gaspar?" The woman sat down with a friendly smile, and she opened the Take out a pen from your own notebook and prepare to record.

Gaspar pursed his lips reluctantly: "It seems like you will stop if I say no."

"I know you need to take it easy, that's okay." The woman seemed to be at ease with the current situation, "We can continue later, it's okay."

But you're going to stay until all the information is collected anyway, aren't you, Gaspar sighed, and sat down, "No, no."

"Okay," the woman nodded, and then looked at Joe again, "Please sit down too, you are his guardian."

Joe didn't say a word, and sat beside Gaspar in silence.

[Relax, Garth. 】The manager and guardian said to Gaspar in his mind, 【We have a system, so we are not afraid of her. 】

【I know. ] Gaspar replied, [but I fear they will...]

Before he finished speaking, the woman here began to ask.

"So——" Alice started, and she took out Gasper's information from the folder, "Gasper, I see from the information that you will be 18 in two months."

"Yeah," Gasper replied defiantly, "I don't see how that has anything to do with the whole thing."

Alice smiled; "Of course, because your mother has just been escorted back to the police station, I judge that she may face rape for a period of time, and your information shows that you have three younger siblings..."

Gaspar: "...so what."

Alice: "That means that your mother will not be able to take care of you for a long time. Of course, this Mr. Grint is your guardian. You can move in with him, but your younger brothers and sisters must go to the center." , we will arrange temporary foster families for them.”

"I can take care of them!" Gaspar said. "I have a job, I just got paid a lot of money the other day, and I'll make more in Hollywood, and I can take care of them!"

"No, Gaspar." Alice shook her head, "The Children's Protection Association doesn't work that way. No matter how special your job is, you are still a minor. Your guardianship is with Mr. Grint, so it's perfectly fine for you to work together. , but not your siblings. Think about Gaspar, how will your siblings live when you are on set shooting a movie?"

they can!They will take care of each other!

"What if their custody is also in Joe's name," Gaspar said in a final protest, "so they don't have to be taken away?"

Alice hesitated for a moment and nodded, "In theory, it is possible, but Mr. Grint must apply, and we will send someone to review him. This may take two to three weeks or even longer. Before that, they still To be sent to a foster home."

【Joe!She will take them! ] Gaspar screamed in Joe's head, "Do something! 】

【What the hell can I do,】Joe tried to keep a semblance of calm,【These people are Child Safeguards, the toughest guys in America! 】

【Gentlemen. 】The mechanical sound of the system appeared again, 【Perhaps Mr. Hodge has a way. 】

Gaspar's heart stopped beating, he always forgot the existence of Hodge, it was time to change his way of thinking.

"Thank you for letting me know, Ms. Alice." Gaspar stood up, "If you don't mind, I want to make a call."

——————————————————————————————————————————————

After a while, Ms. Alice looked at the adoption documents that Hodge's lawyer had given her in disbelief. She left angrily, claiming that she would find a reason to sue them.Of course, Gaspar believed she wouldn't succeed, because Hodge's lawyer looked professional.

After dealing with the people from the Children's Protection Association, Hodge asked Gaspar to let him go. He planned to go to Gaspar's home to meet his nominal "adopted children".Gaspar said goodbye to Joe and got into Hodge's new and expensive car.

In the car, Gaspar suddenly began to panic, and his hands on his knees were unconsciously mixed together. He was worried that the people from the Children's Protection Association would really find some reasons that he couldn't think of to sue Hodge in court. Maybe the lawyer wasn't as professional as he looked, and then those damn jurors would probably send Adina, Adam, and Carliss into foster homes, since they don't have the same last name, and their mom calls herself Into the prison|prison.

Probably Gaspar's fear was too obvious to attract Hodge's attention, and the elegant Englishman coughed lightly, "What are you thinking?" He asked.

"It's nothing, it's just something missing." Gaspar shook his head, Hodge raised an eyebrow in silence, he motioned for Gaspar to say it, Gaspar sighed and asked, "I was wondering Children's Defense Society, people who hear about them are hard to deal with."

Hodge smiled: "Every mistake is not easy." He took off his gloves and patted Gaspar's hand comfortingly, "That's why I went to your house to meet them."

Gaspar opened his mouth and realized something, he turned his head and looked over: "Will you take them away?"

"So what you're really worried about is this - being separated from your brothers and sisters." Hodge smiled gently: "As you said just now, the people in the Children's Protection Association are very persistent."

So the answer is 'yes', Gaspar bowed his head in frustration.

Hodge covered the nape of Gasper's neck with his warm palm. "Relax boy, I'm not trying to steal them," he said. "You can live without them for months, but you can't bear them being taken away by me." .”

"No, no, don't get me wrong," Gaspar quickly explained, "It's me, I don't want them to leave the house... I don't think I can bear this, when I come home from the shoot and I don't see me family."

"Don't worry about it, you won't be separated from them." Hodge's voice carried a smile that Gaspar couldn't understand, "It's not just them, you have to come with me too."

Gaspar was taken aback, "What?" Isn't his guardianship with Joe? "You mean..."

"Yes, I used a little trick, and now your custody is under my name." Hodge tidied up the wrinkles on his wrists, "I owe a little favor, but it doesn't matter, that guy Trump still has value deal."

Gaspar wasn't too concerned about Hodge's petty tricks. "Does it have to be," he asks. "I'm grateful I don't have to be separated from my family, but . signature, that would be too troublesome for you."

"Acceptable." Hodge said, "Child laws in the United States are very complicated. If your guardianship is also in my name, it will be much easier when I manipulate your younger brothers and sisters."

Gaspar wasn't too happy about it, but that was all he could do.It feels weird to suddenly have an adoptive father, especially when he is your 'boss' and fake lover.

"So—" Gaspar asked, "where are we going to live?"

"My house," said the Englishman, adjusting his tie. "You and your family have to live with me, and I mean really live with me."

Gaspar blinked. He thought Hodge would find them another place to live, since he was in real estate after all.

Hodge saw Gaspar's doubts, "It's very simple for me to find an address for you, but in order to prevent the sudden visit of the Children's Protection Association... you can take back your younger siblings until you are truly an adult, that is, at the age of 22. custody, you can move out."

"Thank you." Gaspar sincerely thanked him from the bottom of his heart. Hodge didn't need to do so much.

"No, as long as you complete your task, I will help you solve all other problems." Hodge said, "It is easy for me to solve these troubles for you."

This is true. Gasper's difficulties are not a problem in Hodge's view, so he wants to lighten the burden on Gasper's heart.

Perhaps that relieved the burden too much, Gaspar joked to Hodge: "So... you're legally my father now?"

"I think so."

"Shall I call you Daddy?"

Hodge paused, then smiled: "I don't mind."

In Hodge's ambiguous smile, Gaspar realized how stupid his words were, and he quickly turned around to hide his expression.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Hodge's voice made Gasper cool down a little, "I don't think your mother is hopeless."

"...Oh," Gaspar darkened, "she's just like that, I don't think...that's okay, I can still support her."

"You can't do that for the rest of your life," Hodge said. "The Children's Defense Society charges will get your mom 10-15 years in prison, and given her current situation, she'll be in rehab tomorrow, and then she'll be in rehab after she's back. The prison is continuing her sentence. I have prepared a contract and a lawyer will bring it to her."

Gaspar didn't speak, he waited for Hodge's explanation.

"If she can successfully detoxify, there will be a professional lawyer I hired at a high price to help reduce her sentence, and the possibility of 3-5 years will be more than 80%." Hodge said, "And she can still get money from me, that is, Your guardian gets 20 U.S. dollars, and from the day after she quits drugs, she can get 5k for every month, and the period is 10 years."

It was an enticing enough contract, Gasper's heart was racing and his breath was racing, that his mother would accept it, and even if she didn't care about her children, she cared about the money.

But immediately, Gaspar realized that 20w and 5k per month for the next month, what a huge sum of money, his relationship with Hodge... Maybe Mr. Hodge can be counted as his employer, but just imagine What employer would sit down to such an extent for his employees?

Gaspar struggled to swallow several mouthfuls of saliva, "Why?" he finally asked, "Why did you do this?"

Hodge still smiled gently, "Because I can." He said such a sentence, facing Gaspar's shocked expression, he only gave this answer: "Maybe some things are very difficult for you, It's almost impossible to do, but it's as simple as deciding what to eat tonight for me."

That's true, Gaspar thought.

But in any case, it was a ray of light that broke the black fog that hung over Gaspar's dark home. It may not be a big deal to the sun that shines, but it is a life-saver to those who receive the gift. dawn.

Gasper lowered his head, hiding his wet eyes: "Can I...get a hug?"

"Foryou?" Hodge smiled, "Anytime."
