Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 639 - 464: Love Talks and Acquisition Plan_2

Link saw her really pressing the knife tip against her chest and quickly grabbed the handle, placing it back on the knife rack.

"Stop it, you're pregnant, be more careful, don't mess with knives," he said urgently.

"Do you think I'm being too extreme?"

Ivanka said with a smile, curling a fallen golden strand of hair behind her ear.

"Yes! Both of us need a psychiatrist," Link said helplessly.

Ivanka smiled faintly and said that these were her truest thoughts, not some mental illness, and he didn't need to worry too much.

"I understand, but the magazines say that pregnant women can have psychological problems due to hormonal changes and such, so I think it's necessary to see a psychiatrist regularly," Link suggested.

"Don't worry, I just want to tell you how much I love you. This is an emotional issue, not a psychological one," Ivanka turned back and touched his lips with hers, picking up the fruit plate and motioning for him to come eat some fruit.

Watching her mature and charming figure from behind, Link felt a twinge of helplessness. He found that the women close to him were like ticking time bombs when scrutinized too closely.

Taylor often cursed him out, brandishing knives and lashing out with punches and kicks.

Ivanka, with her seemingly gentle and demure exterior and mature, steady way of dealing with the world, would sometimes come up with crazy ideas that sent shivers down his spine.

Then there was Emma Watson, who would slash her wrists with a knife whenever he hinted at separation.

And there were the likes of Dadalio, Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Liu, and Sasaki Nozomi.

Although there had been many physical exchanges, there was not much true spiritual connection, and for now, he hadn't noticed any major issues with them. He hoped it would remain that way, as if they all turned out to be like Ivanka, Taylor, or Emma, he felt he might go insane.

While eating fruit in the living room, Link brought up the topic of buying a larger property with Eva.

The villa they were in was a standalone with not a small perimeter, but the living space wasn't large. It was sufficient for the two of them, but once their child was born, the nanny and the staff would need to live there too. Owning a larger villa would be more convenient in terms of privacy and security.

Additionally, he considered that women had a natural taste for luxury and beauty; both Taylor and Ivanka were like that.

Ivanka, who came from a wealthy family accustomed to living in large villas and riding in luxury cars, perhaps had even higher standards than Taylor in this respect.

In the past they didn't mind following his lead, not minding living in a smaller villa for simplicity's sake.

But after seeing Taylor's grand estate, he realized that he should consult them more about their living preferences.

It was best to follow their desires, whatever they may be.

With his current net worth, no luxury residence posed a problem, except for the White House, of course.

Ivanka said living here was very nice, with a good environment, not as crowded and noisy as Beverly Hills, also closer to the company making the commute easier. However, the place would be a bit small once the baby arrived. If they were considering purchasing real estate, they could look at buying a larger villa in the vicinity.

The bay villa area also had luxurious estates, which they could inquire about through a real estate agent.

Link agreed with her suggestion and decided to get in touch with a real estate agent soon to see if there were any suitable large villas nearby.

During the meal, Ivanka brought up company matters.

In August and September, Lionsgate Films had three movie releases.

The first one, "The Devil's Double," was a biographical adaptation based on the life of Saddam's eldest son, Uday Hussein's body double, depicting the plight of an innocent man, life's upheavals, and the struggle within hearts, leaning towards the artsy side.

To penetrate the market, since the beginning of the year, the Lionsgate distribution department had taken the movie to more than ten film festivals, hoping to make a sale and ideally win a few motion picture awards before release, but with little success.

On July 29th, the movie had a limited release in North America and due to low attendance, theaters ended screenings early, with a box office tally of 1.36 million, while overseas the performance was also mediocre. Since the beginning of the year, it's taken in 4.6 million US Dollars from over ten countries.

The current total box office stood at 5.96 million, while the movie budget was 19.1 million US Dollars, essentially a near-total loss.

The second film, "Boxing Warrior," starred Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton, with a plot highly similar to "The Fighter," also about a pair of boxing brothers confronting conflicts in the ring, only changing the 'third party' from the mother to the father, and replacing Amy Adams's role with a female doctor, ending with a more satisfying conclusion.

Due to its relatable plot, the movie was deemed a sibling piece to "The Fighter" after its release.

The movie premiered on August 9th, with current box office earnings of 13.12 million in North America and about 8.5 million overseas.

The movie's production cost was 25 million and to turn a profit, the global box office would have to exceed 50 million, which clearly seemed impossible for this film.

However, the company could still gain some income through the distribution of the movie DVD, streaming media rights, and cable television royalties.

The expected loss was estimated to be around 8 million.

This movie had a better reputation than "Madea's Big Happy Family," but fans were not buying it, and no matter how good the reputation was, it didn't help sales.

The third film, "No Escape," starred the popular actor Taylor Lautner and British starlet Lily Collins. It told the story of a young man investigating his origins and the series of crises he faces and the truths he uncovers.

The movie was released in North America on September 2nd, earning 10.92 million US Dollars at the box office during the first weekend, with about 25 million overseas.
