Breaking Up Is Better Than Divorce

chapter 219



nerve warfare

The reality show starring Amy Goodwin employs the classic survival style of young women from different backgrounds playing games with one of the losing teams.

As is often the case with these types of shows, the format was much more focused on the political battles between teammates before the game started than on the game itself.

The show’s popularity is fueled by how beautiful women of various professions, such as lawyers, businessmen or food stylists, look out for each other and desperately try to make someone else a common enemy in order not to be identified as a loser if they lose the game. will be influenced

Fortunately, the show has been cruising with popularity since it first aired.

Eugene wanted the show to be a success not only for America but for the rest of the world, but Amy Goodwin had a successful career in broadcasting.

Perhaps because of that, on the day the show aired, Monica and others would gather together in front of the TV to watch.

“I heard that you suffered a lot from Corona. Are you fully recovered now?”

A glamorous, red-haired, white woman who attends the University of California at first begins a very social conversation.

“It was really hard. My whole body aches and I have a fever, but there is no medicine and I can’t go out, so I just had to rely on an ice pack.”

Amy Goodwin raised her head slightly and replied, recalling the time.

“Wow, that must have been very difficult. It is not easy to bear such a serious disease in a foreign country.”

The California graduate student, who said he valued the social role of citizens, comforted Amy in a very friendly voice.

“okay. I really don’t know what would have happened if I hadn’t received support from him to overcome the corona virus.”

“He? ah! right. Did you say that you were friends with that person named Eugene?”

“Friend? No, it’s not like that. I just got help when I’m having a hard time. Like many did.”

Amy shook her head slightly and replied.

“I feel really grateful. Are you good at acting?”

“Right. It definitely conveys emotions.”

Although it is a reality show, the most important thing for the success of the show is how well the participants can show their strengths, that is, they perform properly. In that respect, Amy deserved a passing grade.

“Not bad. The twinkling eyes were filmed properly. I can see the production team pushing Amy.”

“Do you think so?”

Obviously, Amy’s team is caught on camera a little more often than the opposing team, and Amy stands out among them.

From the production team’s point of view, it’s only natural to devote much more to someone who can create a controversy.

“It was the same with medicines and supplies, but most of all, the sense of relief that I was being supported by someone else was precious. In that moment, I realized that God had a great deal of love through him.”

Amy said with a slight smile.

“Oh My God! It’s a really old-fashioned line.”

“But it seems sincere.”

Monica and Eugene, and many people watching TV at that moment, could notice that she was caught up in a certain spiritual moment.

“I’m going to help the boss. I’m glad Amy was on that show.”

“Hmm… … Is that true?”

“Sure. I guess I’ll have to make a call over there. Amy needs to stay until the end of the show.”

It looked like he was watching TV in a leisurely manner, but in reality, it was nothing more than an extension of work for Monica.

She took on a very important role in Eugene’s publicity, and hopefully this show would be of great help.

Of course, Monica is well aware that it is the will of the crew that Amy remains until the end of the show, not the realm of luck. A phone call will probably suffice.

It was just a good opportunity. Eugene’s popularity was increasing day by day in the United States, which was hit by a terrible disaster called Corona.

Only in this understanding alone, tens of billions of dollars in cash were provided through food banks, and tens of millions of people in need were saved from hunger.

Of course, the US government has also released a huge amount of subsidies, but many of them are used for loans to businesses or tax cuts, so support for the common people who are directly affected is still insufficient.

Up to this point, direct support has been limited to a maximum of $1,200 per person.

However, it is reported that 35 million people have not yet received support due to lack of administrative power. The United States has many loopholes when it comes to being the world’s most powerful country.

Moreover, the size of the subsidy has hardly been decided due to the daily quarrel between the National Assembly and the administration over how much money to spend to help citizens.

This is because the calculations of each party are very complicated due to the presidential election approaching at the end of the year.

The number of people starving has been increasing since then, and dissatisfaction with the government and politicians has skyrocketed.

In such a situation, it was Eugene who moved the fastest.

In a short period of time, Eugene’s charitable foundation has built a supply chain for numerous food banks across the country, ordering raw materials from farms, commissioning food factories to produce foodstuffs.

Moreover, while the food provided by the existing food bank was on the verge of being discarded due to the short shelf life, all of the foods Eugene supplied were fresh food made at the factory the day before.

For that reason, there were reports that an increasing number of middle-class citizens who can afford it were waiting in line to get free food provided by food banks.

Of course, food packages received by citizens from such food banks are full of pictures of Eugene with a gentle expression on her face.

Eugene is never the kind of person who hides his good deeds. Rather, they are promoting their good deeds through various channels as much as possible.

Thanks to this, not a few Americans, especially many who lost their jobs due to the coronavirus, were thankful that Eugene at least avoided skipping meals.

“Five! Would you like to be liked by a rich man on Wall Street?”

She said she was pursuing a master’s degree at the University of California’s College of Art, and laughed at Amy with a cynical expression, and her face hardened.

Even if I didn’t ask, I couldn’t help noticing that her words were full of thorns.

And the other women standing around them looked at them with a look of concern, sometimes with interest.

“That woman seems to have a lot of animosity towards the boss.”

Monica said with a look of interest.

“I don’t know if there’s really an antipathy or if it’s her role.”

“What. If you have such a tendency, wouldn’t there be lines like that?”

“I think so.”

Neither Eugene nor Monica believe that all Americans will love Eugene.

As with everything in the world, there are not only people who favor Eugene.

As their liking for Eugene increased, so did the number of people who had an antipathy for Eugene.

If you search for the cause, you will find many reasons.

The fact that he is not from the United States, that he is not white, or that he is not black or Hispanic can also be a source of resentment.

Besides that, there were actually plenty of reasons to hate him.

Eugene and Monica watch the show with very serious expressions. Now the show was taking it to a different stage than it had been before.

“Wall Street rich? Eugene is not just a person who can express himself like that.”

Amy protested.

“No? So who’s the richest person on Wall Street? Or would you say that he’s Hollywood’s best playboy?”

The woman said as if shooting again.

“uh? Did that cross the line a bit?”

Eugene said with a slightly startled expression.

“It’s mostly rumors about Eugene, so I can’t help it.”

Monica said with a smile.

“You know there are more than ten paparazzi hiding on the way into this mansion, right? All to take pictures of the actresses who visit here. So far, the actress who has been photographed having a relationship with the boss must be over 30?”

“no. It’s all an official visit.”

“Who knows what’s going on inside? The only thing the public sees is a picture of an actress entering this house. And when everyone goes back, they are smiling broadly.”

Hollywood stars usually come to Eugene’s mansion for something to do with filming a new movie, or for a social party of some sort.

But there was no reason for such a reason to depend on the photos taken by the paparazzi.

The photos they visit are always accompanied by the title, ‘The King of Hollywood, this time to meet someone’.

And around Hollywood, there are plenty of tabloid newspapers out there that will buy you such pictures at a great price.

Even the actresses don’t really dispute such articles. If it was a scandal with Eugene, even if no one knew about it, he would rather welcome it.

“What the hell do you want to say?”

Amy’s face was so stiff that it was her first time on TV.

“I can hear the ratings going up.”

Monica is smiling. Eugene is also a little absurd and then laughs.

It was Eugene’s own decision not to give any rebuttal to such gossip articles anyway.

Somehow, the phrase “a Hollywood flirt or a naughty one” has become an adjective that always sticks with Eugene.

“Coronavirus is destroying the world because of the stupid response of the Chinese government. And in such a situation, a person named Eugene made hundreds of billions of dollars alone. while people get sick and die, lose their jobs and suffer from hunger. Even so, I’m noticing that I only provided a little bit of food. You mean you still respect the Asian?”

The exact word she spoke was chink. It is a word commonly used by Americans who cannot distinguish the nationality of Asians.

Of course, the broadcast was silenced and the subtitles were Asian, but her lips were clearly chink. Moreover, she was pulling the ends of her eyes with two fingers.

“You’re Chinese! He is Korean!”

The words that Amy spit out in protest were also chinks, but they are also silenced and the subtitles are in Chinese.

“What does it matter if it’s chink or Korean? The cause of the corona is Asians!”

Clearly racist words were being thrown around.
