The Wolf of Los Angeles.

In the large conference room of Butterfly Company.

Hierro, Betty and Fiona, who just came back from Latin America, are reading today's Los Angeles Times.

The entire front page was filled with reports about the priest scandal, but the news reports were all about St. Bian's Church and the Welfare School, and did not cover other places.

Campos walked in from outside and said, "That's all for now."

Betty asked, "LAPD only checked St. Baian's? What about other churches and church welfare schools? Aren't they checking them as well?"

"The case is confined to San Pedro," Campos said of the latest situation. "More than 20 people have been arrested so far, and all Catholic churches and schools are conducting internal cleansing."

Juan answered, "Guys, we saved hundreds of children."

Fiona put down the newspaper and said, "Yes, with our abilities, this is all we can do."

Jero sighed, "I hope that those bastards in the church will be more restrained."

“You’ve done a great job,” Campos said.

"Actually, Hawke did a great job." Betty said suddenly, "He didn't get any benefit from this matter, but he still worked hard to do it."

Juan agreed: "He's a good boss."

Hierro said: "It's not easy for Hawke to achieve this. Without him, who are we? What are these things? Who cares about the lives of those children?"

Campos said: "It is this society, this country that has problems. Hawke led us to fight against the default rules of this country and society. With our strength, it is already difficult to pry open a crack."

This group of people have experienced the darkness of Mexico, crossed the border to California, and struggled to survive at the lowest level. They have broad experience.

Reality is so difficult, it’s not easy to be a good person.

Ocean Parkway, Twitter office building.

Megan Taylor, dressed in a women's business suit, came out of the elevator and turned into the corridor.

An office door opened and Caroline ran into her.

Miss Mea, wearing pink Chanel, stared at Megan as if she saw another ewe coming to steal her grass.

She asked, "Why are you here?"

Megan looked at her briefly and said, "I have something to do with Hawke."

Caroline wanted to stop her, but she had no reason to, so she could only watch Megan walk past and enter Hawke's office.

She turned up her lips, revealing her sharp little white teeth, bit them hard, and turned around to go to the third floor for a meeting.

In the office, Megan sat across from Hawke's desk.

Hawke got Megan a cup of coffee and asked, "Why do you have time to come here today?"

"I'm so tired from the priest scandal lately, I'm going to take a few days off." Megan didn't feel disappointed, she had expected this result when she reported: "Fox Network is also protecting me to prevent me from getting carried away and doing something impulsive."

Hawke understood: "It seems that you have investigated a lot of secret things."

Megan took out a USB drive and threw it directly to Hawke: "Everything is in here. The top management of News Corporation has issued an order. Roger Ailes can't do anything about it. Fox TV will not report it anymore."

Hawke took it back: “Twitter won’t report it now.”

Megan said: "The more you know, the more pressure you will feel, and the more disappointed you will be with this country and society."

Hearing her say this, Hawke was curious: "What did you find out?"

Megan smiled bitterly: "If I say that three-quarters of all the churches in the Los Angeles Diocese have experienced such behavior, would you believe it?"

"I believe it." Hawke didn't trust the church at all: "I even believe everything you say."

Megan said: "My show team got a list of more than 500 victims, and this is just one parish in Los Angeles!"

This reminded Hawke of a piece of news he had read in his previous life. He had a vague impression that it was a report in the Los Angeles Times, which said that the Los Angeles Diocese paid more than 500 million US dollars in compensation to more than 6 people, and more than three-quarters of its 288 dioceses were involved in the case.

The actual number of unexposed ones is only likely to be much higher.

Hawke put away the USB drive and said, "I'll find a suitable opportunity."

Megan nodded: "I will go back to work in three days, and then I will pay attention to the rescued children."

"Will those children be adopted?" Hawke remembered that this was how it was handled in the United States: "To new families?"

Megan said: "According to regulations, after the incident is initially handled, the information will be made public and they will be adopted by a suitable family as their actual guardian."

Hawke thought about what she had just said and asked, "Do you think there will be problems with the adoption?"

Megan said categorically: "The chances of something going wrong are very high."

Hawke asked, "Will they be trafficked?"

"Trafficking?" Megan shook her head directly: "There is no trafficking in America, only disappearances."

She explained simply: "I have a female news source in the California State Assembly. I got a preliminary statistic from her. The number of missing immigrant children in the United States every year exceeds 40, many of whom are adopted."

Hawke believed this data because he had seen a video in his previous life in which the mayor of New York City at the time said that the number of missing adopted immigrant children was as high as 50!
Yilin's authority with readers is still rising. After all, there is no abduction in America, only disappearance. Megan is a woman after all, and sometimes she is still sentimental: "We think too simply. They may have gone from one fire pit to another."

Hawke couldn't be a savior, nor did he want to be one. He just sighed and said, "We have limited abilities, so we just want to do things with a clear conscience."

After all, Megan is not the fearless female reporter Halle. After being emotional, she returned to rationality: "Fox TV's expression of concern may help them avoid some bad things, that's it."

Hawke nodded: "This society is extremely difficult. It's not easy for ordinary people to change their social class. For people like us who are neither up nor down, we can only have the opportunity to do what we want if we can ensure that we have a firm foothold."

"You're right." Megan agreed completely: "That's it for now."

She then asked, "I'm on vacation for three days and want to go out for a walk. Do you have time?"

Hawke said directly: "I can't leave. Twitter is currently conducting valuation and investment negotiations with long-term investment companies..."

The two of them had agreed at the beginning that it would only enter the body and not life.

Facing the scumbag, Megan was not polite at all: "You have to compensate me."

Hawke spread his hands: "What do you want?"

Megan didn't say anything. She lowered her head and crawled under the desk. She stuck her head out from underneath and used both hands to gather her scattered long hair behind her head and tied it into a ponytail.

She thought of the Caroline she met when she woke up, and looked up at Hawke: "You can report to your operations director."

"You're crazy..." Hawke hadn't finished his words when someone caught him by the vitals.

The two had played this kind of office game before in Megan's office.

This was the first time in Hawke's office.

More than half an hour later, Megan straightened her wrinkled clothes, waved to Hawke, left the office, and helped close the door.

She wiped her lips, which were pursed into a line, and walked towards the elevator, where she found Caroline also waiting for the elevator.

Caroline looked Megan up and down and felt that she looked different from when she came in last time. Her hair and clothes were a little messy.

They were all adults, and Caroline had long suspected the relationship between Hawke and Megan. She understood everything, gnashed her teeth secretly, but couldn't help it and said, "This is not Fox TV. Can you please pay attention to the impact?"

Megan smiled, guessed what the woman was thinking, and said, “You are jealous of me.”

"No!" Caroline raised her chin and said, "I'm the operations director of a multi-billion dollar company. How could I be jealous of you?"

Megan chuckled, "You haven't tasted Hawke."

Caroline snorted coldly: "I am the person Hawke trusts the most."

Megan still said the same thing: "You haven't tasted Hawke."

"You..." Caroline discovered sadly that she had never tasted it.

Megan moved closer: "Do you want to try it?"

Caroline wanted to say no, but the words couldn't come out of her mouth.

Megan put a finger on her lips, pointed inside and said, "Want to taste it? There's still a little left here."

Caroline couldn't stand such provocation and said, "You will be shot in the head sooner or later!"

"Erica Ferguson?" The elevator came at this time and Megan entered the elevator with a smile.

Caroline followed him in.

The two went down to the first floor. Before leaving, Megan took out a business card and handed it to Caroline: "Leave me your contact information, and let's meet for coffee when you are free."

Caroline thought about it, took the business card, and left her contact information to Megan, warning her fiercely: "Don't show off in front of me in the future!"

Megan got in her car, went home to pack her bags, and left Los Angeles.

Fox TV officially ended its news coverage of the Priest Gate incident and will no longer dig deeper into the matter.

Other North American media have also gradually downplayed the related news.

The Catholic Diocese of America mobilized $1.2 million to quell the incident.

In this capitalist country, the effect of spending such high amounts of money is quite obvious.

The Los Angeles judicial system operates efficiently, and the prosecutor's office intervened quickly to push the case into trial procedures as quickly as possible.

The fathers of St. Ban's Church took all the blame.

In order to divert the attention of the public and media, all kinds of crimes were thrown at the Hollywood practitioners who appeared in the video, including Pat Kingsley and James Gunn, all of whom were made into unforgivable criminals.

Like the whole world, the entertainment industry has endured everything.

The case that went to trial the fastest was that of Pat Kingsley. She voluntarily pleaded guilty and the evidence was solid, so she was eventually sentenced to ten years in prison.

This public relations manager and agent, who was once a big shot in Hollywood, ended his career by going to jail.

On the night that Pat Kingsley's verdict was announced, Tom Cruise held a grand party in his mansion in Beverly Hills to celebrate signing the contract with the "War of the Worlds" crew, and invited a group of friends and collaborators to attend.

Anyone with eyes can see that Tom Cruise is celebrating his victory. (End of this chapter)
