Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 684 - 495: Undermining Operations

Meryl stated that such things were common in the entertainment industry and inevitable.

"So, Ms. Meryl, do you think this is normal and doesn't need to be delved into? Even if you know Harvey often behaves like this, including sexually harassing and even raping women, it wouldn't change your opinion of him, would you still insist on working with him?"

Link asked.

Meryl furrowed her brow, adjusted her reading glasses, and looked at him, "Rape? Is it that serious?"

"Ms. Meryl, you're an industry insider, you should know what settling after the event means? It's that these things did happen, but Harvey managed to resolve them with money, so all I'm saying is factual."

"What does this have to do with your invitation for me to act in a new movie role?"

Meryl asked.

Link nodded seriously, "When I collaborate with someone, I first look at their character, then their acting. If you knew of the many bad things Harvey has done to actresses and still wanted to work with him, then... pardon the intrusion."

Link stood up, preparing to leave.

Meryl was startled for a moment and shouted, "Don't leave!" her face dark as she looked at him, "Are you implying I'm a bad person, unfit to work with you?"

Meryl was very upset. She had originally thought that Link's visit was to sincerely discuss cooperation and apologize for the earlier incident, and considering the good script, she would consider collaborating. However, instead of showing any signs of apology, Link hinted that she was of poor character.

It was infuriating.

If it weren't for her age and inability to overpower Link, she definitely would have scratched his face.

Link shrugged his shoulders, "Ms. Meryl, I didn't mean to offend you, but how Harvey is perceived in the industry is well known. The fact that you not only do not reject him but also maintain a good private relationship with him speaks volumes."

Meryl was furious, "What does Harvey's character have to do with me? I am an actress; my job is to act, not to be a detective. If I have to investigate the character of every movie company boss, major shareholder, president, or producer before taking a role, how can I work?"

"There's no need for investigation concerning Harvey."

Link took out several newspapers, tapped the table, "Meryl, I'm a fan of your work, and I approached you for collaboration to help you. Harvey has done a lot of bad things without showing any restraint, and since you are closely associated with him, the day these matters are exposed, even if you claim ignorance, do you think people will believe you? Will the media not portray you as Harvey's accomplice?"

"You had the chance to be among the top 100 actors in Hollywood, alongside Catherine Hepburn and Bette Davis, but because of this scandal, it would be such a shame."

Meryl looked at the newspapers and frowned, "Is all this true?"

"True or false, you've been in the industry for decades; you should be able to make a more accurate judgment than I can."

"So, you're saying you came to collaborate as a favor to me? By refusing to collaborate, am I rejecting your kindness?"

"That's what I believe,"

Link nodded.

Meryl glanced at him, feeling that this young man, who could be her grandson, had awfully thick skin, a likely reason for his early fame.

"Even if you're right, and there's a serious problem with Harvey, making him unsuitable to work with, what about you, a world-renowned playboy? Is your reputation in the industry really any better than Harvey's? Is it fitting to work with you?"

Meryl angrily asked.

"Of course, firstly, I am a world-class idol. Apart from being a womanizer, I am flawless in all other respects. Also, our age difference is too great; even if I help you win the Oscars for Best Actress, no one would misunderstand our relationship."

Link said earnestly.

Meryl was taken aback; it seemed to make sense.

She was 62 this year, and Link was 23; even if she worked with Link, there likely wouldn't be any misunderstandings.

However,

discussing "gender relationships" with someone of Link's age felt awkward to her.

Meryl looked helplessly at Link, this shameless young man.
