Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 464 - 382: The Woman Who Attacked at Night

At his cousin's birthday party, besides David Ellison, he also got acquainted with several second and third-generation members of the Hearst and Bloomberg families.

There were Amanda Hearst's brothers, Georgia Bloomberg's cousins and brothers, as well as members of the Hilton and Mars families.

The young Hearsts were currently holding significant positions at the Hearst Corporation, which owns over fifty daily and weekly newspapers including "New York News," "San Francisco Examiner," "American People's News," "Chicago Examiner," and more than three hundred magazines such as "Harper's Bazaar," "Esquire," "Marie Claire," "ELLE," along with cable television and internet assets like A+E Networks, ESPN, and Netscape.

The Bloombergs, rich and noble in New York, with billions in family assets and great political influence—like Georgia's father, who held the position as New York City's mayor three times.

Several second and third-generation Bloombergs were currently carving out their paths in politics and the business world.

At past Thompson Family parties, these individuals were not very enthusiastic about him, showing no interest even in greeting him.

But this time, many people approached him proactively, engaging in conversation, exchanging contacts, and warmly welcoming him as if accepting him as a member of the high society.

Link knew it was due to his increasing worth, but he didn't pay it much mind nor did he put on airs as if to say, "Before you ignored me, now I'm out of your league."

Whenever someone came up to greet him, he'd patiently chat for a while, discussing politics and the economy, and talking about movies and music.

Each time this happened, Ivanka would stand quietly by his side, her stunning face adorned with a fitting smile.

The pair lingered at Edward's party for over two hours before driving away in the evening.

"How did your chat with David Ellison go?"

Ivanka asked as she drove.

"Not bad, he loves movies and wants to make a name for himself in Hollywood. Seeing that I've done well in film investments, he suggested establishing a partnership with Palm Beach Films, and I agreed."

Link leaned back in the passenger seat, his head slightly fuzzy from a few beers he'd had.

"You seemed to hit it off with Megan Ellison, too. Are you trying to pick her up?"

Ivanka asked nonchalantly.

Megan Ellison, David's sister, was twenty-four and also aimed to make a splash in Hollywood.

Link remembered she had been somewhat more successful than David, with her investments in films like "Zero Dark Thirty," "The Grandmaster," and "The Master" achieving good box office revenues and reviews.

When Megan approached him to talk, he offered enough patience and enthusiasm, hoping for a chance to collaborate. To Ivanka, however, his enthusiasm seemed like an interest in Megan.

"No such thoughts. Megan seems very androgynous and quite assertive. I only like naive and sweet girls now. I have no interest in strong, independent women like you," Link said.

Ivanka's lips curved slightly, "Her brother and sister seem very interested in you."

"Yes, men admire my boxing skills, and women love my singing and good looks. I charm both men and women," Link said proudly.

"Really?"

Ivanka asked faintly.

Link was about to affirm confidently but suddenly remembered that after nearly two years of knowing her, he hadn't yet won her over, which made him feel slightly frustrated.

Looking at Ivanka in her light-colored skirt, curvy front and back without pockets, he asked if she had her pepper spray with her.

Ivanka said he could try it out.

Link stretched out his hand but then decided to wait a little longer, looking for a more appropriate time to make his move.

To kill time during the drive, he brought up his feud with Weinstein, stating that the latter might seek revenge by setting traps on his new film project. To prevent mishaps, he planned to involve David Ellison in a joint investment to spread the risk.

Ivanka thought it was a good idea. She mentioned that Weinstein had deep roots in Hollywood and many connections in politics too. She urged him to be careful and also assured him that she could handle things if anything went wrong, citing the Thompson family's political connections.

Hearing her speak so calmly and composedly gave Link the sensation of having a strong backer, which he found quite delightful, without an ounce of embarrassment.

When they arrived at the Woolworth Building, he remembered Jennifer Lawrence was still at his home in Yorkville. Jennifer was in town for work; just a couple of days trip. As her boyfriend, he should spend more time with her.

He apologized to Ivanka, saying he needed to stay in Yorkville for the night.

Ivanka rejected his suggestion and asked for Jennifer's number instead, inviting her to stay at the Woolworth, asserting there were plenty of empty rooms in the apartment anyway.

Link was confused, as it hardly seemed like a good idea for a legitimate girlfriend to invite a rumored girlfriend over. Besides, Jennifer, being an assertive girl herself, wouldn't accept such an absurd invitation.

But to his surprise, Ivanka got out of the car, made a call—God knows what she said—then got back in and told him Jennifer Lawrence had agreed, and that her assistant was already arranged to pick her up and would arrive shortly.

Upon going upstairs, Ivanka casually ordered a table of seafood from the hotel downstairs, planning to have a seafood feast in the apartment that night.

Link called Jennifer to confirm if she really wanted to come and not to feel obliged, but Jennifer responded that as long as Ivanka didn't mind her presence, she wouldn't mind either.

Link hung up and asked Ivanka what she had said to Jennifer and why she agreed?
