Chapter 785 Lawrence (3/3)
In a conference room in California.
"Traitor, traitor, damn, there is a traitor in our college!"
Lawrence's face was ashen and he shouted angrily in the conference room.
In just three days, it was like torture for him. He really didn't expect that something like this would suddenly happen. His life and career were facing destruction. He really couldn't imagine this outcome.
"Quiet, we are not meeting to listen to your venting, but to find out how to properly resolve this crisis." A solemn old man with white hair looked at Lawrence dissatisfied and said.
"Mr. Chairman, we have no way to make up for it. This incident is a major accident for both our academy and the Oscars. The image has been irreparably damaged. If Mr. Lawrence does not come forward, then the academy will
The public crisis with Oscar will further expand."
At this time, a man sitting on the other side said with a chill, and after saying this, he looked at Lawrence with a sarcastic smile.
Hearing this man's words, Lawrence's face turned red even more, blood rushed to his head, and his eyes were burning as he looked at the face opposite him that made him hate him, as if he wanted to eat him.
Did he show up?
This is to allow him to stand alone and bear the consequences of this incident, while minimizing the losses to the Academy and the Oscars.
In other words, he is going to be abandoned?
This is impossible. He is the vice president of the college and the first vice president of the jury. He has worked hard all his life to achieve his current identity and status, and now the other party wants him to give up everything and be pushed out as a scapegoat.
He really couldn't bear this kind of result. Not only was all his previous efforts and hard work in vain, but his reputation was also ruined. What would he do in the future? How would he meet people?
"Garth!" Lawrence said through gritted teeth, "It seems that you have risked everything for the position of first vice president of the jury. You must know that this decision was unanimously agreed upon by all of us. Could it be that you
Didn’t raise your hand?”
If you want him to bear all the consequences alone and be pushed out as a scapegoat, he will never agree even if he dies!
Everyone in the conference room changed their expressions slightly when they heard Lawrence's words, but the look in Garth's eyes when he looked at Lawrence was filled with a little pride and a little ridicule.
Then, Gals turned to look at the chairman sitting on the main seat, waiting for his decision.
The chairman's face was expressionless, but from the change in his expression just now, it could be seen that he was extremely dissatisfied with the harsh words Lawrence had said before.
He dares to threaten the Academy, or Lawrence is threatening him with the reputation of the Academy and Oscar, don't give up on him!
This made the white-haired old man feel a little angry. It had been many years since anyone had dared to speak to him like this.
The old man, who had already made a decision in his mind, now became more certain of his previous decision when he heard Lawrence's implicit threat. He turned his head and nodded to the secretary beside him, and then took a stack of documents from the secretary's hand.
Seeing the document in the chairman's hand, Lawrence suddenly felt something bad in his heart.
"You take a look at these things first!" The old man motioned to the secretary next to him to hand the documents to Lawrence.
Lawrence opened the results file with slightly trembling hands and turned to the first page. When he saw the content above, he almost fainted and his face turned pale.
He flipped through several pieces of paper in succession. The more he saw what was behind, he felt weak and collapsed in his seat.
"Chairman, I..." Lawrence looked at the chairman not far away with a panicked and pleading expression.
"These things are enough to put you in jail for at least thirty years, and your wealth will also be at risk. Do you understand?" the old man said lightly, looking at Lawrence coldly without any emotion.
"Understood!" Lawrence struggled to spit out these two words.
"Just understand!" The old man tapped his fingers on the table and said calmly. After saying this, he stood up and left. When he passed by Lawrence, he patted the already helpless Lawrence on the shoulder and left without saying anything.
At this time, Lawrence's mind was completely blank, and he sat there in despair, motionless.
Understand that if he does not stand up and be the scapegoat, then what awaits him is jail time, and his wealth will be wiped out.
If he stands up, his reputation will be ruined, but his future life will still be worry-free.
He really didn't expect that the ending he was waiting for would be this.
Seeing Lawrence in this condition, everyone in the conference room left with sympathy on their faces. A proud smile appeared on Garth's face, and then he also stood up and left.
Just after he left the conference room, he heard crazy laughter coming from behind.
Lawrence is finished.
The old chairman left the conference room. After returning to his office, he was still thinking about the name of a movie: "2012"!
This movie is really a disaster movie!
Pan American Entertainment.
As soon as Coakley walked out of the company door, countless reporters gathered at the door immediately swarmed him.
"Congressman Coakley, did you bribe Lawrence to prevent "2012" from winning the Oscar before the Academy Awards started?"
"Mr. Coakley, is there some kind of transaction between you and Lawrence?"
""2012" did not win any major awards at the Academy Awards. Is it because of your obstruction that this resulted?"
..
Facing countless crowded reporters, Coakley was unable to move forward. There were microphones in front of him, and all the reporters followed him while asking questions.
Coakley almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard the reporters' harsh questions, but he still didn't dare to say anything. The sudden changes in the past two days made him anxious.
Companies, villas, public places.
As soon as he appears, reporters will immediately gather around to interview him and ask questions. The topic in the past two days has been too hot.
Coakley secretly met with Lawrence, the first vice chairman of the Academy Awards jury, and conspired to prevent "2012" from winning any awards. This topic is so hot that newspapers are selling like crazy. Today's entertainment newspapers have reprinted it several times, and it is still
It still cannot satisfy the public's curiosity to know the truth.
Finally, with the protection of security guards from the company, Coakley escaped from the crowd of countless reporters.
When he sat in the car and immediately asked the driver to drive, he said viciously: ""2012"!"
After the entertainment media exposed the recording of Lawrence's meeting yesterday, it immediately made countless people think of the previous meeting between him and Lawrence, and the topic suddenly became hot.
Countless reporters wanted to interview him and get confirmation from him. Even if he arranged for the company to hold a press conference to clarify that this was purely a misunderstanding, he still could not let those reporters give up.
Just when he felt overwhelmed, his cell phone suddenly rang.
