Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 528 - 413: Box Office Fraud and Pregnancy_4

Selena took out her phone again, opened Google, and searched for information about a novel called "Fifty Shades of Grey."

Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

"Fifty Shades of Grey?"

Seeing a familiar title, Link wanted to take the phone to have a closer look.

Selena wouldn't let him, pointing to a few lines of information and telling him the novel was originally serialized on a fiction website. It was released at the beginning of this month and was available in bookstores and online, with first-week sales of over a hundred thousand copies, definitely a bestseller.

And it wasn't some erotic novel, so he shouldn't slander her innocence; she, Selena, was not that kind of person.

"Really? Was this novel originally a "Twilight" fanfic that tells the story of a female college student who falls in love with a domineering CEO, engages in a romantic relationship with him, and leads a shameless life?"

"You've read it too?"

Her little round face looked up in surprise.

"And now you still dare to say this novel is healthy?"

Link said with a smile.

With her little mouth pouting, the little round face humphed, "You've read it too, so if you dare report me, I'll report you."

"I'm a guy, and a womanizer at that. What impact does reading this kind of novel have on me?"

Link laughed lightly.

Selena blinked her large eyes, as if that really made sense.

This bad guy had so many girlfriends and had done things more outrageous than what was written in the book. He was like a person covered in black mud, not afraid of being called out for reading such novels at all.

Thinking of this, Selena felt powerless. It didn't matter that Link did so many bad things, but she had to secretly read a novel with heavier tastes; it was so unfair.

"Don't you have a phone? Why do you need mine?"

"Give Taylor a call, I have something to ask her," Link said, reaching out his hand.

"No way, Taylor said she won't take your calls. If I use my phone, she'll definitely blame me."

Selena hid her phone behind her back and blinked her eyes as she spoke.

"Then send her a message saying I want to have a chat with her, asking her to unblock my number first," Link said helplessly.

"Fine!"

Selena sent a message and then looked at him with a strange gaze.

"How come you'd read 'Fifty Shades of Grey'? That's a novel from a female perspective, only suitable for us girls to read. Doesn't a big guy like you feel awkward reading it?"

"Of course not, I put myself in the male lead's shoes. I want to learn from the novel how to talk to girls about love, I'm a bit lacking in that area,"

Link shrugged.

"Lacking? Christian in the novel only has one girlfriend; your girlfriends are all over the world. He should be learning from you, you big womanizer,"

Selena rolled her eyes dramatically and suddenly felt that Link was not only more fickle than the male lead but also had a higher net worth, fame by countless times, and even more handsome. She blinked and leaned in curiously, "Do you play with your girlfriends the same way Christian does?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't,"

Link pushed her little round face away.

"Humph! I can guess. You appear decent, but you play dirtier than Christian, freak,"

Selena hit him with her little fist.

Ding-dong!

The phone chimed once, and Selena puffed her cheeks as she read the message. Suddenly her face lit up with a smile, shaking the phone at him, "Taylor said she doesn't want to talk to you, doesn't want to hear your name, and said if you dare pressure me, she'll never deal with you again."

Link frowned, "Ask her if she remembers the bet we made last year, now that she's lost, when is she going to fulfill it."

"A bet? What did you bet with Taylor?"

Selena asked curiously.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't, send the message,"

Link nudged her forehead.

Selena pouted heavily and humphed, throwing the phone to him to send the message himself.

Link held the phone and texted Taylor, asking if she remembered last year's bet and when she would fulfill it.

Last year they bet on the sales of their third albums. If he lost, he'd continue making albums and not leave the music industry; if Taylor lost, she was at his mercy.

The bet came from Taylor's initiative. At that time, he didn't know Taylor was pregnant, so he agreed.

Now his third album "The Woman I Love" has a cumulative sales of 5.35 million copies in North America.

After MTV, the American Music Awards, and this year's Grammy Awards, riding the wave of several awards and promotions, this album sold an extra seven to eight hundred thousand copies in North America.

Globally, it sold over three million more copies, and its worldwide sales have now reached 28 million copies. Crossing 30 million was just a matter of time.

And Taylor's "Last Kiss" just broke through 4 million copies in North America, also boosted by awards and her North American tour, with overseas sales of only 15 million copies.

"The bet? Tell him I don't know,"

Taylor replied to the message.

"Haha, Taylor said she doesn't know,"

Selena chuckled as she leaned on his shoulder.

Link, feeling helpless, texted back, "Link said he knows you like to play tricks and often don't keep your word, so he didn't really want you to fulfill the bet. He just wanted to meet and have a chat, how about it?"

"No! We have nothing to talk about (hand the phone back to Selena, and if you sneakily use her phone again, I'll block this number),"

Taylor instructed.

"Give me my phone back,"

Selena reached out to grab her phone back and sent a message to Taylor complaining that Link was bullying her, forcibly taking her phone with physical force, and she was so angry because she couldn't fight back.

"Is Taylor in Los Angeles?"

Link asked.

"I won't tell you. Taylor wants me to keep my distance from you,"

Selena said.
