"You are?"
As he spoke, Matthew turned on the dome light of the Ford car. The light passed through the car window and fell on the person outside, allowing him to see that it was indeed a woman.
Matthew seemed very vigilant. This world was full of sunshine, but darkness lurked where sunlight couldn't reach. People invaded by darkness would even dare to do crazy things for a little insignificant benefit.
"Are you...?" The woman raised her baseball bat, revealing her brown ponytailed hair, and pointed towards the mansion, "Did you send many women in there?"
Matthew didn't answer. Instead, he scrutinized her. The woman was very thin, about 1.7 meters tall, with a distinctive appearance mainly focused on two aspects: full and plump lips, and a towering chest that didn't match her slim figure!
Although she didn't quite match his aesthetic preferences, she could still be considered a unique beauty.
"Get in the car." He opened the other door, "Let's talk inside."
The woman walked around the front of the car and got into the Ford minivan, sitting in the seat next to the driver's seat, with her handbag placed at her feet.
Matthew relaxed his guard. He recognized this woman as Angelina Jolie. Unless she had gone mad, she wouldn't come here in the middle of the night to rob a poor guy.
Thanks to having watched "Tomb Raider" before, Matthew recognized Angelina Jolie by her towering chest and full lips.
"You haven't answered my question." Angelina Jolie reminded.
"Sorry." Matthew said firmly, "I can't answer you. It goes against my professional ethics."
Angelina Jolie didn't say anything. She took out her wallet from her pocket and pulled out five green bills, placing them between the two seats.
Matthew glanced at them, saw the number 1 followed by two zeros, and nodded immediately. "Yes, I sent six women, Miss Jolie."
Professional ethics meant nothing to someone who had only a few dollars to their name and didn't know how they would eat tomorrow.
However, Matthew wasn't stupid. He directly identified Angelina Jolie's identity.
Angelina Jolie wasn't surprised that Matthew recognized her. She had gained some fame in Hollywood.
Matthew glanced at Jolie, puzzled. How could such a Hollywood star end up in his car at this time in such a place?
Not understanding didn't matter. He grabbed the five bills and stuffed them into his pocket.
Seeing Matthew's greedy appearance, Angelina Jolie felt that she had found the right person.
"Do you want to earn more money?" Angelina Jolie suddenly asked.
Matthew turned to look at Jolie's well-defined face. Angelina Jolie was known for her promiscuity and bad reputation, but he wouldn't be foolish enough to think she came here in the middle of the night to talk about love. She definitely had some ulterior motive.
A Hollywood celebrity like her, coming here at this hour and choosing him, a seemingly strong driver, what did she want to do? Matthew guessed it was probably something shady!
He quickly calculated in his mind, what benefits could he gain from this?
"Who doesn't like money?" Matthew nodded vigorously.
Angelina Jolie pointed towards the mansion, "Do you know who's having a party in there?"
"Johnny Lee Miller." Matthew had seen related information before, "The big star who starred in "Guess the Train"!"
"Do you know him?" Angelina Jolie asked again.
"Well..." Matthew really didn't know. He spoke the truth, "I've only seen his pictures."
"Good." Angelina Jolie seemed quite satisfied, "As long as you do as I say, you'll get five thousand dollars."
Hearing five thousand dollars, Matthew immediately perked up, but he said, "I won't do anything illegal."
For a mere five thousand dollars, he wouldn't risk going to jail.
"It's a simple task." Angelina Jolie opened her handbag and took out a small DV camera, "Take this, go inside the mansion, and film Johnny Lee Miller fooling around with women. Then come back and give it to me, and the five thousand dollars is yours."
"What?" Matthew widened his eyes and pointed at himself, "You want me to spy?"
Then he realized something was wrong, "Why do you want these things spied on?"
Angelina Jolie looked at him coldly, "Are you in or not?"
This kind of thing definitely had risks, especially since Johnny Lee Miller was a wealthy man. Matthew's mind quickly turned. Why would Angelina Jolie do this? Without understanding this, he wouldn't dare to do anything rash, as he might end up in jail!
He had experienced the feeling of being owed wages before. It was terrible, and in a country as wicked as America, it might be even worse!
Looking at Angelina Jolie's well-defined face and the mansion nearby, Matthew suddenly thought of a possibility.
He immediately asked, "Is Johnny Lee Miller your... husband?"
Angelina Jolie didn't deny it. This was almost common knowledge, right? She thought he already knew.
"You want me to help you catch him cheating?"
Confirming that Johnny Lee Miller was Angelina Jolie's husband, Matthew suddenly understood, "Or are you planning to divorce him?"
Angelina Jolie looked at Matthew with some surprise. This guy's brain turned fast.
"You don't need to know." Angelina Jolie put the DV camera between the two seats again, "Are you in or not?"
This kind of thing definitely had risks, but it wasn't impossible. However, was five thousand dollars too little? Sitting next to him was Angelina Jolie, even if she didn't have her future fame and fortune yet, she was still a quite famous Hollywood star.
Hollywood... Hollywood...
This name kept circling in Matthew's mind. Suddenly, he said, "Why don't you go yourself?"
Angelina Jolie snorted, "If I go to the gate of the mansion, the people inside will know I'm here." Her face darkened instantly, and she said in a barely audible voice, "I want that bastard to pay!"
She had hired private detectives and had announced a few days ago that she was going to film "Soul Mates" out of town, giving Johnny Lee Miller an opportunity. In fact, she had always kept him under close surveillance. Unfortunately, the mansion was surrounded by tall walls with electric fences, and private detectives couldn't get in. After finally tracking down the Red Penguin Company and contacting the driver responsible for high-end business, she didn't expect him to suddenly quit to trade stocks. This new driver had no previous contact...
Fortunately, private detectives had always kept an eye on this place. As soon as they got the news, she immediately came over.
Divorcing Johnny Lee Miller was inevitable, but divorce involved a considerable amount of shared property. To make Johnny Lee Miller give in voluntarily, she needed something substantial.
With her temperament, only by doing everything herself could she achieve the kind of pleasure from retaliating after being betrayed!
So, she didn't send bodyguards or agents. Instead, she operated personally. After obtaining what she wanted, she would unite the forces around her to make that bastard lose face!
If it were any other Hollywood star here, Matthew would think their brains were malfunctioning. Who would be foolish enough to personally intervene in such matters? But Angelina Jolie felt quite normal to him. Who didn't know she was a wild woman when she was young? And it was evident that Angelina Jolie was becoming more and more like a volcano about to erupt at any moment.
But he wasn't afraid of the flames of the volcano; instead, he felt a strange excitement, as if he were very, very lucky!
The previous guy, who had been waiting in Los Angeles for months, could only wait. He had just become a driver for a pimp company... no, he had become a seasoned driver and delivered several female models to a heavyweight client. He didn't expect that this heavyweight client would turn out to be Angelina Jolie's husband, and the furious Jolie was ready to settle scores with him...
His luck was really good! This was an opportunity!
A person like Matthew wouldn't fail to understand the importance of opportunities. In his understanding, a belly full of talent couldn't compare to a suitable opportunity.
Although he was a fool, he also knew to seize opportunities.
Wasn't Angelina Jolie a great opportunity to break into Hollywood? But how could he seize it?
The sudden stroke of good luck made Matthew slightly excited. After calming down, he said, "Alright! I'll do it!"
With these five thousand dollars, he could first rent a place to live, which would be considered finding a foothold in Los Angeles. Then he could plan his Hollywood career.
"Deal!" Angelina Jolie agreed directly, "As long as you can film what I want, my bodyguard will bring you the five thousand dollars immediately."
Matthew looked at Angelina Jolie again. She wasn't a brainless woman with a big chest. That sentence just now clearly carried a warning, implying that her bodyguard was nearby.
"Good!" Matthew extended a hand, "Deal!"
But Angelina Jolie showed no intention of shaking hands. He reluctantly withdrew his hand and said, "Wait here, I'll go now."
Matthew put the DV camera into a handbag, took off his jacket, and quickly approached the gate of the mansion.
"Why are you back?" The guard at the gate stopped him. "Wasn't someone sent?"
"Hey, buddy." Matthew pointed to the faintly visible Ford car behind him, "The company told me to wait there, but there's no toilet over there. I need to go, can I use the toilet?"
He had already dealt with them when he drove in earlier.
The guard looked at the handbag he was carrying.
"It's my clothes." Matthew lifted the handbag openly, "And a roll of toilet paper."
The guard waved his hand, "Go in, follow the driveway to the fountain, turn right two hundred feet, and there's the toilet."
"Thank you." Matthew entered the mansion.
"Don't wander!" the guard reminded.
"Rest assured."
Matthew walked towards the fountain in front of the mansion, ready to take a risk. Only if he could really film something, would he have the bargaining power to negotiate with Angelina Jolie.
