"You're so short, how dare you walk with Eric? He's 1.9m tall, are either of you even 1.6m? Are you a couple or father and daughter? Don't you feel inferior? What will outsiders think? Just thinking about it is hilarious!"
"How would uneducated women understand high society social events? People of status care about appearances, and it's not the same as your orgies. If you're not tall enough, don't force it, lest you make a fool of yourselves!"
"What's wrong with being short? Eric likes petite types. He said it himself in bed. It's much more comfortable than skin and bones or muscle women. If you don't believe me, ask him."
As she spoke, the five women all looked towards where Eric had been sitting, only to find he had disappeared. He had slipped away at some point.
But just because the main character wasn't there, did the catfight have to stop?
Absolutely not!
Today was about both proving superiority and fighting to the death!
Mary rolled her eyes and snidely taunted, "Some people think they know high society, but they're just country bumpkins!"
"You wouldn't think high society parties are all about a pretty face, would you? To be respected, you need a career and to be helpful to your husband's career."
"Heh heh. Ashley, what's Dual Star Entertainment's valuation now?"
"2.8 billion US dollars!"
Ashley very cooperatively made up a number. Who cared if it was true or not? Just say it to scare the bitches opposite first.
"How much? I didn't hear clearly, speak louder." Mary, full of bitchiness, put her hand to her ear.
"The latest valuation last month was 2.8 billion US dollars. And just a reminder, it's not listed yet."
"Hahahaha, 2.8 billion US dollars. I wonder if some people combined can even reach 280 million. Go check your bank accounts, and then take a good look in the mirror before you speak!"
The three women were choked up. They definitely couldn't compare to the two little bitches opposite when it came to assets.
Excluding the shares Eric gave them, they truly didn't have 280 million US dollars individually.
If the three of them pooled their resources, they might barely reach the edge, but who the hell wanted to pool resources with the other two sluts!
No, they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of assets. They had to open a second front.
"Hmph! Women who show off a few stinking dollars are the most vulgar. I can smell the stench of money even from this far away." Nicole fanned herself exaggeratedly, a look of disgust on her face.
"Shallow young girls always think money means everything, but can money buy love? They'll never understand what emotional value is. I'm afraid their only goal in wanting to marry him is to make a fortune!" Theron followed up with a cold, sarcastic remark.
"And some people have no bottom line. Two women serving one husband is already shocking, but twins together on the bed, bending over… are we really living in modern society?"
"If exposed, you would ruin Eric's career." Gadot directly used the lesson she learned from this incident.
But the Olsen Sisters were not to be outdone. Since it was already like this, whoever cared about face would lose out.
"We're willing! Ashley and I can take turns marrying Eric. We'll both have children for him. No matter how much you say, it can't hide your jealousy, hahahaha!"
"Exactly, what's wrong with being sisters? It's much better than divorced women. I heard she even has children with her ex-husband? So eager to shamelessly go after a younger man, I think she wants to earn an inheritance for her children."
Saying this, Ashley pinched her voice and pretended to make a phone call: "Hello? Is this Tom Cruise? Let's take the children out for a picnic this weekend."
Mary immediately chimed in: "Nicole, the children miss you very much. Why don't we get back together? You've always had a place in my heart."
"Okay, but give me some more time. Once I get Eric Cooper's money, I'll come find you and the children."
"Yes, I'll wait for you."
After saying that, the two of them giggled together in a tea-like manner, like little witches from a cartoon.
"You… you guys!"
This feigned, overly dramatic performance finally made Nicole unable to bear it. She completely lost it.
Everyone knew about her marriage problems with Tom Cruise. That year, she walked out of court, successfully divorced.
Finally free, she was so excited that she happily let loose on the highway, dancing and gesturing, almost breaking into a full dance on the spot.
This scene was then captured by paparazzi, directly making the covers of major magazines and entertainment newspapers that year.
Having been exhausted by the failed marriage and lawsuit, plus having to appear in court, she was in a very bad state at the time. Her posture was not graceful, becoming a dark chapter in Nicole's life.
At that time, many people lamented that even Nicole Kidman could be so ugly, no wonder Tom Cruise wanted to divorce her.
Look at how happy Nicole Kidman was, she must have abandoned her marriage and children.
In short, similar words hurt her for a long time, until she showcased stunning looks and acting in moulin rouge, earning an Oscar Winner nomination, which finally vindicated her.
She was clearly the victim, but it seemed as if she was the villain. Now, being taunted and having old wounds reopened by the Olsen Sisters to her face, no one could stand it.
Even Theron and Gadot nearby felt it was too venomous. Attacking a mother by bringing up her children was like a kidnapper, a bit too much.
However, that hint of reluctance that had just sprouted was immediately stifled by the feeling of satisfaction.
"Old bitch and little sluts, hurry up and fight!" the two screamed internally.
"Ah!"
Sure enough, the Olsen Sisters' outrageous lack of boundaries was too much for Nicole. She shrieked and rushed at them, directly grabbing Mary, who was jumping around the wildest and happiest.
"Ah!"
Feeling the sharp pain on her skin, Mary also shrieked, and the two immediately started fighting.
Nicole unleashed a 'Life-Taking Hair-Snatch' move. This move was powerful, its essence being to firmly grab the opponent's hair to restrict their movement.
It was a sure kill, especially against long-haired women, but its drawback was also obvious: the opponent could easily grab her hair in return.
Both of them happened to have long hair and had just had their hair styled beautifully when they arrived. In the blink of an eye, they were tangled up, pulling each other's hair.
Seeing this, Ashley quickly stepped forward to help her sister, employing another great female fighting technique: 'Nine Yin White Bone Claw.'
This move was a menacing physical destruction technique, used to launch gruesome personal attacks on a woman's skin, especially her face. It had a high hit rate and was incredibly fast.
However, it also had a drawback: the user could easily be controlled by the opponent's counter 'Life-Taking Hair-Snatch'.
As 'national daughters,' the two 17-year-old girls had been doted on since their debut. In terms of verbal sparring, they, who frequently surfed the internet, naturally had the upper hand.
However, when it came to physical fighting, the experienced Nicole had the advantage.
She grabbed Mary's hair with one hand and Ashley's hair with the other, fighting one against two and not losing ground. Her fierce combat prowess was evident.
The three women punched, kicked, and screamed at each other, creating an extremely bloody and brutal scene.
Gadot and Theron watched from the side with great interest, secretly overjoyed. If not for their acting skills, they would surely have clapped and laughed out loud.
However, their detached, spectating attitude naturally aroused the displeasure of the fighting group, especially the cunning Nicole.
With such a commotion, Xia Li and Emily were probably about to come over. If they saw her in such a disgraceful state, her night would be ruined.
But getting the Olsen Sisters to stop was impossible, and she herself was unwilling to give up.
So there was only one solution: drag the two bitches watching into the fray. If they were going down, they were all going down together. No one would have an easy time. At least that way, everyone would be back on the same starting line.
Thinking this, she pulled back fiercely. Ashley and Mary immediately shrieked as she yanked them, forced to follow Nicole's movements with their heads down.
Theron was secretly enjoying herself, when she was unexpectedly knocked onto the sofa by the fighting group, and then felt sharp pain on her skin and hair.
As for who was attacking her, in the blink of an eye, it was impossible to tell. Besides, she had also been insulted quite a bit just now, so she angrily joined the battle.
Theron had a slender, tall and thin physique, which meant she wouldn't be very strong.
Brawling and pinching flesh weren't her strong suits, but she had her own specialty: a move called 'Violent Biting.'
Its power was even more terrifying than the 'Nine Yin White Bone Claw,' a complete human destruction skill that caused damage while having a one-in-a-thousand chance of poisoning the opponent.
However, there was a two percent chance of backlash, for example, if the first bite missed, the second bite would be a counter-bite.
Seeing the four already fighting, Gadot realized something was wrong and quickly retreated, turning to go to the kitchen to call for help.
When Eric's parents saw this scene, she would be the only good daughter-in-law candidate, solidifying her position as the official girlfriend.
"Don't let her run away!"
However, who didn't understand her intentions? The four women simultaneously yelled and tackled her to the ground.
Although Gadot had always exercised and had the strongest physique among the five women, as the saying goes, a good tiger cannot withstand a pack of wolves. She couldn't resist the siege and was instantly overwhelmed.
"You want to be the good daughter-in-law, huh? You wish!"
"You bitches!"
"Slut!"
"Bitch!"
"Ah!"
"You forced me!"
Gadot roared in exasperation, finally unleashing the ultimate female fighting move: 'Amazing Clothes-Stripping Hand.'
This move was hailed as an invincible killer move. Its terrifying aspect lay in subduing the enemy without fighting, completely demoralizing the opponent while causing double damage, both economic and psychological. If successful, it could almost completely defeat the opponent.
Rumble.
Crackling.
Bang crash.
The battle in the living room was like a clash of thunder and earth fire, so fierce that it obscured the sky and darkened the sun!
At the same moment, turning to the kitchen, the Cooper Family was calmly continuing to cook, with no one intending to intervene in this battle of the century.
Couldn't they hear the commotion outside?
Of course, they could, but they had to pretend not to!
"They're finally fighting." Eric let out a sigh of relief.
His father was still a bit worried: "Will it cause a big problem? What if someone really gets hurt or disabled? Maybe we should go out and check."
His mother, stewing vegetables, gave him a glare: "Do I know or do you know? Don't meddle!"
"Didn't I tell you? To deal with those five, the key is to blunt their edge, make them attack each other, and dislike each other. That way, Eric can keep them in check!"
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. If anything happens, I'm not responsible!"
The little nanny, Lisa, secretly watched Emily Cooper's back, sighing that she never expected the kindest-looking person in the Cooper Family to be the most ruthless and cunning.
She had even fantasized about having a chance to seduce Eric and make something happen. Now, it seemed best to abandon that idea as soon as possible.
He didn't even look at famous actresses, let alone a poor girl like her with no background. He'd probably disdain her even as a mistress.
That's right, everything from beginning to end was a strategy set by his mother for Eric.
After all, modern times were not ancient times. The difficulty of having multiple wives and enjoying such a life was imaginable.
Especially when your partners are a group of famous actresses with beauty, money, and fame, the difficulty increases exponentially.
To handle them, merely flattering them was not enough. The core conflict had to be shifted to competing for Eric's affection for there to be any hope.
So, the first step was to encourage discord among the women, not allowing them to unite and pressure Eric, but to make them attack each other.
If this step was done well, it could effectively ignite the women's competitive spirit, ensuring that none of them would easily withdraw.
For this, Eric had been coaxing and deceiving for the past few days, finally gathering the five women together.
Gathering them together, of course, wasn't enough. They also had to be enticed to quarrel and fight, so Eric had to pretend to be an innocent little bird.
As long as he remained silent and subdued, the focus of the fire wouldn't land on him. He would watch for the right moment to fan the flames, stir up chaos, and then retreat.
Once the first step was completed, he could sit back and watch the tigers fight. Let them quarrel as much as they wanted, as long as no one died.
Once they had fought enough, Eric and his mother could step in to clean up the mess.
His job was to maintain equality among the five women, calling one 'sweetheart' and another 'baby,' playing his role as the good cop.
His mother, on the other hand, would play the bad cop, using her authority to intimidate the five women and ensure they dared not act presumptuously.
Then came the most crucial step: creating goals to guide competition.
Note, this was guiding, not provoking.
The key to guiding was that the competition had to take place under certain rules, and those rules would naturally be set by his mother and Eric.
Finally, it was a matter of giving a stick and a carrot, providing some benefits and comforting their emotions.
If this series of operations was handled well, it would be equivalent to invisible PUA, successfully transforming the five women from collectively resenting Eric to collectively trying to please him.
When Eric first heard his mother's strategy, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Brilliant! Truly brilliant!"
No wonder his mother became a "sea queen" back then. Without some tricks, how could she stand out from all those manipulative women?
Amazing! Truly amazing!
His mother took a spoon from the pot, sniffed it, and nodded: "Good, my cooking skills are excellent today. We can eat now."
Eric listened intently and felt that the commotion outside had stopped.
"It seems they've fought enough, and this dish is ready to be eaten too."
His mother untied her apron: "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go out and see."
