Seeing that Melinda was still shocked by the cruelty of reality and how people could be so vicious, Sophia shook her head and said:

"The detective told me that in fact, this matter was not a secret in the music circle at that time. Many people knew that Jennifer Martinez and Maria Colin had never dealt with each other. Who let

The two have been compared by the media since their debut, and Maria Colin has always been overshadowed by her appearance, popularity and works? Jealousy is the original sin, but it is not an excuse to commit evil!"

"Due to the Martinez family's status in the West Coast music circle, the most important thing is that his brother John Martinez Jr. is one of the top gangsta rap stars promoted by the Blood Turbans, and their father John Martinez Sr. is even more important.

He is one of the bosses of the African-American equality organization, and his power is at least powerful in the West Coast music circle, so no one is willing to take the risk of offending the family to stand up for Maria Colin, an orphan who has been abandoned by his own company.

!”

Xie Zihao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect to hear the name of an old acquaintance while walking around.

He is very familiar with the details of the Blood Turban Gang!

Melinda still asked unwillingly:

"Then can they cover the sky with one hand?"

Sophia decisively denied it.

"Of course not. Although the Martinez family's power is not small, it is more limited to their black circles, not to mention the mainstream Hollywood and TV circles where white people dominate, but also in their music circles. Martinez

The Zi family is nothing more than a small hilltop."

"The reason why other musicians are unwilling to provoke these people is because they are afraid of trouble. After all, it was just a few years after the 1992 riots, and these years were when the black equal rights movement was more intense!"

After explaining this, Sophia asked Xie Zihao:

"What are you going to do? Are you going to reopen this closed crime and conduct a deeper investigation?"

Xie Zihao smiled mysteriously at her:

"of course not!"

Then he said to the two women:

"I probably have some ideas. First, I need to help Colin restore her appearance and let her complete her revenge on her own, so that she can resolve the knot in her heart. Later, I may need to use Sophia's connections to teach the people behind the scenes the lessons they deserve.

.”

Sophia nodded. Although she was also curious about what Xie Zihao would do, she didn't ask any more questions.

"Yes, although there are very few people in the entertainment industry who are willing to help others in times of need, there is always no shortage of people who want to add insult to injury. As long as you and Colin can defeat the enemy, even without us taking action, those guys who have heard the news will take the initiative to help.

I'll solve it."

"And I also want to help this poor woman. The entertainment industry is already very dark and dirty. I don't expect to be able to clean up a pure land, but at least I want to make the world around me less dirty!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Melinda, who was originally somewhat hostile, had a much better impression of the daughter of a great director.

The three of them reached an agreement, and Xie Zihao felt relieved. One was his girlfriend and the other was his friend. He didn't want any tit-for-tat situation to arise between Melinda and Sophia.

Scenes like that always made him feel like he was a scumbag with two legs, but it was clear that he did nothing and didn't even think much about it!

After he discussed it with Sophia for a while and she left, he was ready to let go and go see the tragically fateful former genius singer Maria Colin in person.

…

In a dilapidated house in the slums of Los Angeles, Maria Colin, who was covered in hideous scars, carefully cooked a portion of expired macaroni.

She now has no job and no savings. She can only rely on her status as a disabled person to receive a meager subsidy from the government to pay for the rent of a house in such an uninhabited slum area, spending all day hanging out with junkies and stowaways.

Black households are neighbors.

Fortunately, she has nothing worth losing now. Even her appearance would frighten the men who tried to do evil to her, so she could survive in peace and harmony these past few years.

And there are all poor people in this neighborhood, but there are still people who take pity on her and give her some expired but not spoiled food for free, so that she can eat more while queuing up to receive relief food, so that she will not get sick.

His disabled body was worn down by nutritional problems.

After finishing the expired macaroni with a slightly sweet sauce, Maria Colin didn't even waste the soup on the plate and licked it clean bit by bit.

Then she drank a glass of municipal tap water that neither the middle class nor the rich would drink directly, rinsed her mouth, and rinsed the dishes with the rainwater collected in the bucket. The water bill was also a big burden for her, and she had to save it.

Use it wisely.

After eating and drinking, Maria Colin rarely felt some warmth in her body, and the pain and discomfort on her body seemed to be much relieved.

She just sat in front of the low window, falling asleep under the noon sun. However, she still struggled to turn a broken alarm clock a few times to set the time for the afternoon. After all, she

I still have to queue up to get food for tonight and tomorrow morning.

If she missed the time, those fierce government workers would not be kind enough to leave a share for her. Life was already so painful, and she no longer wanted to bear the feeling of hunger.

It's not that Maria Colin doesn't hate herself. Every time she dreams about it at midnight, she will return to that scene, which makes her suffer as if she is living in hell. She hates fate, hates this society, but what she hates even more is the person who caused all this.

.In other words, it should not be called a human being, but a devil.

But in the past few years, whenever she tried to contact the police or seek help from the media, some people would beat her so hard that she was unable to leave the neighborhood.

If she hadn't had faith in her heart and a glimmer of hope that kept her alive, she might have ended her painful and miserable life a few years ago.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Today, Maria Colin had a beautiful dream. In the dream, it seemed that a god came to bring justice to her, restoring her appearance and voice, and letting the villain

After getting the punishment she deserved, everything seemed so beautiful. There were two lines of tears in the corners of Maria Colin's eyes while she was sleeping.

But when she woke up, everything was still the same, she was still in the dirty little house in the slums with garbage everywhere, which made her think that she might as well be relieved like this.

But when she had the thought of committing suicide, a luminous person appeared in front of her.

The whole person is really glowing.

Bathed in the golden sunshine, he was so handsome and divine.

As if a drowning person had grasped the last life-saving straw, Maria Colin said excitedly in her hoarse voice:

"Lord of Light! Are you the God who comes to save me?"

"God? For mortals, I should be called a god, right?"

A clear and sweet voice sounded in her ears, and Maria Colin gasped like a patient suffering from asthma and said:

"No matter you are a god or something, as long as you can save me from the abyss and avenge me! I can dedicate my soul to you, even if you are the legendary devil!"

Thinking of the choices Maria Colin made in the dream he created just now, Xie Zihao was quite satisfied with this poor man who had suffered so much and still not completely turned into a black man.

This can also indirectly prove that Maria still has pure kindness in her heart, and is a talent worth cultivating, rather than the kind of white-eyed wolf who bites back when she is in power, or a heartless person who repays kindness with revenge.

"I promise you, and your soul already belongs to me..."

As a result, there was no poor person in the slums of Los Angeles, but a newborn was about to be born dozens of kilometers away.
