The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 132 Even an old dog has a few teeth

West Los Angeles, Western Division.

Sarah Parker came out of the police station accompanied by Caroline and two other people and two police officers.

More than 20 media reporters who were waiting there immediately surrounded them.

Someone asked loudly: "Sarah, a photo of your pregnancy test appeared on Yahoo Entertainment. Are you really pregnant?"

Sarah paused, rubbed her belly with one hand, forced a smile, and said, "Yes, I'm pregnant and I'm going to be a mother!"

Another reporter asked, "There are rumors that the report you made to the police station was related to domestic violence?"

"Yes." Sarah touched the scar on her face and rolled up her sleeves, revealing the bruises on her arms. "I suffered serious violence and had to ask the LAPD for help."

The Yahoo Entertainment reporter asked, "But at the previous press conference..."

Sarah interrupted him: "Because I'm pregnant and I'm about to become a mother. I can't let my child suffer the same terrible treatment as me. I can only call the police!"

She looked down at her flat belly and said: "I must let my child grow up healthily. This is the responsibility a mother must bear."

Some reporters wanted to ask questions, but Sarah shook the scar on her arm and said, "Sorry, I have to go to the forensic center to check my injuries."

She walked forward, her steps slightly unsteady.

Although the reporters were still filming, they automatically made way.

When Sarah got in the car, these guys rushed towards their respective cars at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. Some of them caught up with Sarah, and some of them quickly rushed back to the editorial office.

The reporters of those websites have already thought about how to write the news in their heads.

In the corner of the lobby of the Western Precinct, Hawke saw Julian coming back with Bro Derek and slowly walked out of the police station.
At this point in the plan, the initial goals have been achieved.

Sarah stabbed Bro Derek in the back, filed for divorce on charges of violent assault and other crimes, and took away most of the latter's assets.

Whether Bro can be sent to prison later depends on the specific changes.

Hawke will also continue to adjust the plan based on actual conditions.

He exited the West Precinct and came to his car.

After waiting for a while, Julian called. Hawke asked a few questions and hung up.

He started the car and drove straight to Century City, soon arriving at the Fox Television Center and directly to the "Ace News" program team.

Hawke will use all media resources.

Countless experiences have proved that public opinion can kill people.

Hawke came to Channel 11 and a new assistant named Aisha was waiting at the door.

She took Hawke straight into Megan's new office.

Megan waved her hand, and Elsa left on her own accord, closing the office door.

Hawke looked around the more spacious office and said, "The new office environment is nice."

"I took over in a hurry and didn't have time to rearrange it." Megan said simply and asked, "Is there any news?"

Hawke pulled out the storage disk: "Sarah Parker was abused, and here are the photos of her after being beaten."

Megan connected it to her computer, and when she turned it on, the first thing that caught her eye was the scars.

"Scoop?" she asked.

Hawke said directly: "The photo is exclusive. I got it from Sarah, but the news is not. About half an hour ago, Sarah, accompanied by a lawyer, went to the West Precinct to report the case. LAPD has subpoenaed Bro Derek."

Megan opened the browser and searched for relevant news, and found that there were related reports on multiple websites.

"Cruel! Bro Derek beats pregnant wife Sarah Parker."

"Sarah was pregnant, stood up for her child, and fought against domestic violence."

"Brave expectant mother Sarah Parker says no to domestic violence!"

Megan is a media practitioner. She quickly browsed through the news online and found that they were almost unanimously biased towards Sarah Parker.

She looked at Hawke and said, "Sarah Parker has been in the news a lot lately. Are you the one behind this?"

Hawke said: "I signed a confidentiality agreement and cannot say anything specific."

Megan understood and said, "Normally, media opinion tends to favor the weak, and Sarah is pregnant, so Bro is in trouble."

She thought of the news that was suppressed last time: "The couple had a conflict, and both of them were Jewish. Those people should not interfere."

"You know the position." Hawke was about to leave, and reminded: "Ask for the photo."

"It's not an exclusive anymore." Megan won't mess around at work: "The most I'll give you is $8000."

Hawke said, "Hold on tight."

Megan called Aisha in and asked her to go through the formalities.

After Hawke signed the copyright agreement and received the $8000 check, Megan walked him to the door and asked, "Are you free tonight?"

Hawke has to go out of town: "I don't know how long I'll be busy today, maybe another day."

Megan nodded: "Okay, another day."

Hawke went downstairs and called Brian on his way out, and learned that Sarah had left the LAPD's Forensic Center and went to Beverly Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

When he drove over, Sarah had already completed the hospitalization procedures.

Caroline was about to go out, so she found Hawke and said, "I'm going to the sister parade and ask them to organize people as soon as possible."

Hawke stopped her and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Bro will be released on bail tonight. Let them go to protest and attract media attention."

Caroline had worked with Hawke for a long time, so she knew there was something else as soon as she heard it: "What else?"

Hawke said, "I'll ask the Savior to find a few people to blend in."

"Let him contact me." Caroline listened to Hawke's whispered words before leaving in a hurry.

Hawke called Edward and asked him to come here.

Brian on the other side came over and said, "Sarah also consulted me about whether Bro could be sent to prison."

He shook his head: "A couple at odds with each other is too scary."

Hawke glanced at the ward: "I'll go check on her."

Brian said, "Sarah is going to file for divorce, so she can apply for property preservation as soon as possible. I'm going to deal with this mess."

Hawke grabbed him and said, "Send the lawyer's letter and the property division request to Bro as soon as possible."

"What do you want to do?" Brian had seen this man's ability to stir up trouble. "What are you planning?"

Hawke said, "Didn't Sarah want to send Bro to jail? Let's help." He shrugged, "It's a social experiment. To what extent will a man go crazy?"

"I'll send him a lawyer's letter as soon as possible." Brian hurried to get busy.

Hawke entered the ward and Sophia took the initiative to go out so that Hawke and Sarah could talk alone.

Sarah asked, "Did the LAPD summon that asshole?"

"I saw him being taken to the Western Police Station with my own eyes." Hawke hesitated for a moment and said, "Bro has the funds and Ackerman Pictures is behind him. If things go well, he will be bailed out tonight."

Sarah has openly broken up with Bro, and her mind is full of protecting her own interests: "You have many ways, is it possible for me to get all the property?"

"To achieve this, we must mobilize all the resources at our disposal." Hawke took the opportunity to turn to Stephen Parker: "Sarah, you told me before that your father worked in the media industry for many years and was well-known in the Jewish community..."

Sarah said: "He could have been so good to me and my mother, but he abandoned us."

Hawke didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I suggest that you ask him for help in this matter."

"Him? Help?" Sarah shook her head: "He is a selfish person."

Hawke said, "Don't underestimate Bro and the forces that may appear behind him. This is a war. We must mobilize all resources and go all out to win."

Sarah said, "But I don't want to see him or ask him for help."

"I'll go," Hawke said.

Sarah thought of the ensuing property fight and nodded, "Well, he lives in Palm Springs."

Hawke went out the door and waited for a moment.

Edward arrived and asked, "Boss, what do you want me to do?"

"Find a few women who have never been used before, and go to the sister parade at night." Hawke whispered a few words: "Contact Caroline."

Edward smiled with two rows of white teeth: "It's easy to find people."

…………

Western Branch, inside the interrogation room.

Bro got confirmation, and his wife Sarah came to the police in person, accusing him of domestic violence and violent injury with a weapon, and provided a series of evidence.

All of which she provided when she seduced him that night.

The lawyer came over.

But when faced with LAPD's questioning, Bro said nothing and his heart was dead.

Sitting here, he didn't want to say anything, didn't want to do anything, his mind was full of only one thought: his beloved wife had betrayed him. The heartache of being stabbed in the back made Bro so angry that the muscles in his legs and hands were cramping and he almost fell off the chair.

He was willing to defile himself to help Sarah through the difficult times, but what he got in return was betrayal!

The lawyer looked at Bro's expression and thought the domestic violence was real.

The interrogation did not yield any results for the time being, so Julian and his partner took a breath and left the interrogation room.

The lawyer asked Bro: "It's equally disadvantageous to you to say nothing. You want to deny..."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Bro shook his head: "Let Sarah do whatever she wants."

The lawyer reminded: "You used a weapon, so you will go to jail!"

"Bail me out first." Bro said only one sentence, then closed his mouth and said nothing, even ignoring the lawyer.

The lawyer was speechless and had to call Barack Bernanke.

In the office of the chairman of Ackerman Pictures, Barack hung up the phone and said to Melissa Ackerman, the chairman of the film company: "Bro, that henpecked man, didn't even say a word to defend himself."

Melissa also just learned about the situation: "I reminded him that Sarah Parker is not an ordinary woman."

Barack pointed: "He has a hole here."

"Are you sure Sarah did this?" Melissa didn't care about this weird couple, but was worried about other things: "No one else?"

Barack said, "I specifically asked someone. Sarah called the police herself. She hired a very powerful studio in the circle recently to deal with the crisis caused by plastic surgery. That woman has been restless, cheated many times, and has been scheming and hooking up with women's rights. Bro will suffer in the future."

It's very common for Hollywood couples to fall out with each other. Although the process may be exciting, Melissa lost interest and said, "Bail Bro out as soon as possible and let him deal with these messes quickly. Dump that woman and divorce her."

"I hope he can learn his lesson this time." Barack left the chairman's office and told the chairman's assistant to coordinate the handling of Bro's matter.

Barack didn't want to get involved in the messy affairs between the wife slave and his celebrity wife.

If things go wrong, even friends of many years will fall out.

…………

Hawke drove the Audi east and turned into Palm Springs.

According to the address Caroline provided, he parked his car in front of a single-family wooden house.

Through the wooden fence, Hawke could see a big-nosed old man sitting on a recliner in front of the cabin, basking in the sun.

He picked up his briefcase, got out of the car and walked to the door, waving: "Mr. Parker, I'm here on behalf of Ms. Sarah Parker."

Hearing his daughter's name, Stephen Parker immediately sat up, looked at Hawke from a distance, and said, "The door is not closed, come in by yourself."

Hawke pushed the door open and entered.

"This way." Stephen led him into the living room of the cabin, gave him a seat, and asked, "She actually took the initiative to look for me?"

Hawke took out an envelope and handed it to Stephen: "Sarah is facing an unprecedented predicament. You are her father. She can only ask you for help."

Stephen opened the envelope and saw some photos showing his daughter covered in scars.

Hawke said directly: "Bro Derek did it. Sarah has called the police, but Bro is a Jewish man like you and Sarah. He has some people in the media and entertainment industry who support him. He will probably be released on bail tonight."

He added: "Sarah is pregnant and has been abused so badly and wants justice."

Stephen's hands were shaking as he looked at the photo, and his face and neck were visibly turning red.

Hawke was worried that he might suddenly collapse, so he quickly said, "Stephen, Sarah still needs your protection!"

Stephen put down the photo, sat on the sofa, opened the drawer next to him, took out a medicine bottle, poured out two pills, and swallowed them.

Hawke picked up the glass of water on the low table and handed it over.

Stephen drank the water and said, "Thank you." He asked, "What is Sarah going to do?"

Hawke said: "Divorce her, get as much of her property as possible, and make the bastard who hurt her lose his reputation and preferably send him to jail."

"I may be old." Stephen's anger almost burst out of his mouth: "But an old dog still has a few teeth!"

Hawke achieved his goal and was about to say goodbye, saying, "Sarah is currently at Beverly Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. You can visit her anytime."

He suddenly changed the subject: "I also had a bad relationship with my own father. It was not until he passed away that I understood his good intentions. Stephen, this is a good opportunity to improve your relationship with Sarah."

“Thank you.” Stephen nodded. “I’ll do something first and then go to the hospital to visit.”

Hawke said goodbye and left.

Stephen sent Hawke back and went online to carefully check the news about Sarah.

As a father, the more I watch this, the angrier I get.

I took out an old cell phone and called my old friends: "David, it's me, my daughter Sarah, you've seen her before, yes, that's her, she was abused by her husband and is getting a divorce. As for the news... you don't have to be biased, just report the truth about Sarah being abused."

He made another call and said a few words, his voice rising: "Bruce Derek is Jewish, but my daughter Stephen Parker is not Jewish? Old man, I don't ask for much, I am impartial!"

Stephen has worked in the media industry for many years. Although he is retired, it is still useful for him to put his old face on the line.

The most important point is that if a Jewish couple quarrels, just let them do it.

After leaving Palm Springs, Hawke returned to Los Angeles and called Campos on the way.

The two met in a parking lot east of Los Angeles.

Campos got into Hawke's car and asked, "Boss, what are you going to do next?"

Hawke said: "Bro Derek will be released on bail tonight. You and your people will keep an eye on him 24 hours a day. If he goes out, notify me immediately."

Campos responded and gathered people to the vicinity of the Western Precinct.

Hawke called Carolyn again, and she had detailed discussions with leaders of several feminist organizations, including Sisters March and the Guerrilla Girls.

These people intend to take advantage of the situation to push Sarah to the forefront and set off a new climax of feminism.

…………

West Los Angeles, Western Division.

It was completely dark, and a large number of media reporters gathered on the road in front of the door.

More than thirty women came one after another.

These people held up banners and posters filled with slogans such as opposing domestic violence and calling for severe punishment of murderers.

Among them were two mixed-race black women wearing hooded sweatshirts, each holding a bag in their hands.

The older one asked in a low voice, "Do you remember what he looks like?"

Another said, "Remember, don't worry, I'm always very accurate when throwing things. I can throw the garbage into the bin even if I'm across the road."

The two men put on their hoods and kept moving forward, soon reaching the front position.

In a car in the distance, Caroline looked at Michelle, "Is it okay here? Will the LAPD intervene?"

"Don't worry, as long as we don't target the LAPD, they won't provoke us." Michelle said seriously: "A female star suffered severe domestic violence, and she bravely stood up to seek fairness and justice."

She looked at Caroline and said, "Don't underestimate the power of us women. We are the main force of social consumption. When we unite, public opinion will turn to us."

Caroline looked at the Chanel she was wearing and the Hermès bag she was carrying. Among the people she knew, women's desire to consume was several times that of men.

She said: "Sarah bravely stood up and she wanted to be a hero in the anti-domestic violence movement."

Michelle smiled and said, "We need a role model like her. Have you arranged the interview tonight?"

Caroline said, “Communication is good.”

There was a sudden commotion ahead, and it turned out that Bro Derek, who had been released on bail, came out.

Media reporters rushed forward to take pictures.

The protesting women were all threatening.

"murderer!"

"Brooder, aren't you ashamed?"

"You should commit suicide!"

As the verbal abuse continued, the older black woman took out a few rotten eggs and threw them out.

With a crisp sound, Bro was hit on the face. The disgusting smell made the lawyer stay away automatically.

The other black woman was even more ruthless. She untied the bag she was holding and threw it at Bro's head.

A large mass of fresh human digestive matter hit Bro on the head.

Bro's hair, face, nose and mouth were all covered in feces.

Media reporters were taking photos like crazy.

The two black women ran away quickly.

Seeing how brave they were, other women made way for them and provided cover for them, still cursing Bro.

"Eat shit, murderer!"
