The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 180 Mental Illness Patients

Downtown Los Angeles, Financial District.

Haley sat in her office at the Aon Center, checking her phone from time to time, but no calls came.

She has already contacted the blue camp media and feminist organizations. As long as Bella Sean makes a fuss, the two will immediately follow up and completely discredit Hawk Osment and nail him to the pillar of shame for sexual assault.

The Blue Party has always had the upper hand in public opinion, especially in California.

She has used a similar method more than once.

It seems simple and crude, but it is actually very effective. It is specially used for men and will make them unable to explain themselves even if they have a hundred mouths.

Hailey herself is a woman, and when she was in Sacramento, her main work was on the women’s side.

The feminist movement in California is booming, and in recent years she has conducted in-depth research on many typical cases.

When a woman opens her mouth to accuse a man of peeping, secretly taking photos and harassing her, she doesn't need any concrete evidence. As long as she dares to speak up, the man will have to spend all his time, energy and a lot of money to explain and prove his innocence.

Even if a woman's accusation is unsuccessful, the most she can say is an apology, or even nothing at all.

If the accusations are accompanied by scars, torn clothes and similar signs of assault, in a place like California where the Blue Party controls public opinion, men cannot wash away the evidence even if they pour all the water in the Pacific Ocean!

Take legal action?
Haley hopes her target will do this. For someone like Hawke Osment, spending a year or two dealing with such a lawsuit would not be worth it even if he wins in the end.

Thinking of this, she looked at her phone again.

It’s been almost a week since Bella Sean started working, and there’s still no news.

At this moment, the cell phone vibrated.

Hailey picked up the phone and answered: "It's me, any news?"

In a parking lot on Venice Beach, a guy wearing sunglasses sat in his car, watching several patrol cars and other vehicles drive away from the Twitter office building.

He said: "It should have been launched. Several LAPD patrol officers entered Twitter's office building and took away a woman. Hawke Osment also followed the LAPD."

"Keep watching." Hailey gave an order and started to make a phone call again: "It's me, Hailey. There's a serious case at the Western Branch. You can go and interview."

On the other hand, a female editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times informed two female reporters.

The latter two drove straight to the Western Branch.

Haley contacted a women's charity organization and prepared to provide "help" to Bella Sean.

…………

West Los Angeles, Western Division.

In the interrogation room, facing the video evidence, Bella Sean had a blank expression on her face. She just said, "My lawyer will be here soon. I will not answer any questions before my lawyer comes."

This is the suspect’s legitimate right.

Questioning by officers from the Western Division did not yield any answers.

In the reception room on the other side, Hawke finished taking the statement.

As his lawyer, Brian watched the full video and initiated formal negotiations with the Western Branch.

Bella Sean deliberately framed Hawke, which is a criminal offense. As the victim's lawyer, Brian asked the Western Branch to handle the case impartially.

Hawke has always had a very good relationship with the LAPD and holds a high-level immunity card.

If Hawke is really the perpetrator in this matter, the Western Branch might consider it.

But Hawke was clearly the victim and had irrefutable evidence.

Needless to say, the attitude of the Western Branch.

And Inspector Susie from the Parker Center Media and Public Relations Office at headquarters called immediately.

A few minutes later, Erica hurried over.

When she saw Hawke, she couldn't help but say, "I had imagined this situation, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

Hawke said deliberately: "After all, he is a future billionaire."

The reception room was full of our own people. Brian said, "It has nothing to do with billionaires. It's just a continuation of the political struggle at the top."

Erica was in the Ferguson family and knew a little bit about it. She looked at her cousin and said, "Shouldn't I attack you first?"

Brian always thought that he was the focus: "I think so too. According to reason and importance, you should attack me first."

Hawke glanced at Brian and said nothing.

Erica understood what was going on and said to her cousin, "Is it possible that you are unimportant in their eyes? The person who really matters is Hawke."

Hearing this, Brian suddenly fell silent and didn't want to talk to the couple anymore.

Hawke then spoke up and said, "These bastards gave me a programmer with outstanding abilities, but he turned out to be a corporate spy. It makes people jealous but afraid to eat. Isn't this disgusting!"

Erica wanted to laugh but held it back.

Because of her mother, she knew a little about Hawke's company and knew that Twitter was short of talent.

Brian found a way to fight back against the couple: "Why don't you go there yourself, deal with that female spy, and take the gift they sent..." Before he finished speaking, he felt two sword-like gazes shooting at him, and quickly changed his words: "It's just a suggestion."

Erica deliberately said, "Next time I take my annual leave, I plan to travel to Tijuana. Let's go together then."

"Tijuana?" Brian knew where that was.

Hawke knocked on the table and reminded, "Let's not talk about this for now. Find out who is behind Bella Sean."

Brian nodded. "According to the information from above, a team from a consulting company related to the governor's office has brought people here. We haven't figured out who is leading the team yet. They are coming here in secret."

Erica thought about how Hawke almost lost his reputation, and her cruel and ruthless side jumped out: "I'll find a way to detain Bella Sean and put her in the men's detention center!"

At this moment, someone knocked on the door from outside, and Brian went to open it.

Sheriff Julian came in, closed the door and said, "Bella Thain's lawyer is here."

Erica asked directly: "Has the situation changed?"

Julian said: "Her lawyer produced a medical record that showed that Bella had been diagnosed with mental illness by the San Francisco Mental Treatment Center a year ago."

Hawke couldn't help but shake his head: "This woman came prepared."

Julian nodded slightly: "Yes, according to relevant regulations, we cannot detain Bella Sean in the detention center."

He also reminded: "Two reporters from the Los Angeles Times came outside and asked to interview the Twitter CEO's sexual assault case."

Hawke was not surprised: "That's fast enough."

Brian continued, "If you hadn't been careful enough, the situation would be very passive now."

Hawke asked, "If a mentally ill prisoner has a tendency to self-harm, do you have any way to take her into a partner's mental institution? You can't just let her go home and self-harm."

Brian recalled the video he had just watched, opened his notebook, pulled up a clip, pointed at the woman in it and said, "Look, Bella Thain picked up Hawke's pen and made a self-harming move. For her personal safety, the LAPD needs to take action."

Erica said: "I remember some suspects with serious mental illnesses were sent to St. Mary's Psychiatric Treatment Center."

Julian went to the computer and watched the video about Bella Sean again.

After a moment, he said, "We denied her bail on the grounds of preventing Bella from self-harming. In this way, Bella's medical record is her ticket to enter St. Mary's."

Erica said to her old partner, "Thanks."

Julian was very clear about his position and camp, and said, "It's just a small matter."

When he left, Hawke said, "Wait until Bella is admitted to the physical therapy facility and arrange some special programs for her."

Erica said: "Although each person has a separate room there, men and women are detained together. It is normal for problems to occur occasionally."

Hawke thought for a moment and said, "Put pressure on her mentally. There are a lot of talented people in that place, right? Put her in a special room and surround her with some high-end talents. If Bella is not really a mental patient, I wonder if she will enjoy it."

Erica pondered and said, "I remember that there are several high-end talents imprisoned there. They will definitely like the new neighbors."

Brian looked at Hawke, then at Erica, and cursed inwardly, what a bastard, they were. They were exactly the kind of people that were looking for.

He took out his cell phone, called someone and asked for help to put Bella in a mental hospital first.

Hawke took out his cell phone and called Edward, asking him to post through the official Twitter account.

Then he called Susie and asked LAPD to help clarify the matter.

Empty words will have no effect. The LAPD will release the edited video through its official Twitter account.

Twitter will also release the video through official channels.

Susie quickly rushed over from the Parker Center to discuss the specific release details with Hawke.

There are two versions of the surveillance video shot from two angles, both of which are very clear.

However, when it comes to the legitimate rights and interests of the parties involved, the face must be blurred.

Everything was arranged here, and everyone except Hawke, the person involved, soon got busy.

Erica goes to Julian to coordinate Bella Thane's admission to St. Mary's Physical Therapy Center.

Brian went to the Western District Office and negotiated with the District Attorney to transfer Bella Sean to St. Mary's Therapy Center even if she did not have a mental illness.

Edward was very quick and immediately posted a tweet and a video with a blurred face, giving a detailed explanation of what happened inside Twitter today.

At the same time, Susie also asked the LAPD's official Twitter account to post a message and release a video, making a preliminary explanation of the case.

The evidence is solid and irrefutable.

Half an hour later, Hawke enjoyed the special treatment of the West Police Station, got into the car from the police passage, and left the West Police Station with Brian.

The two female reporters from the Los Angeles Times who were waiting at the door did not see the person involved.

Soon, they received a call from the editor-in-chief and hurried back to the newspaper.

There is no need for interviews and reports. Both the police and Twitter have made detailed explanations on this matter through their official Twitter accounts and released relevant videos.

This is not a case of a male boss raping a female employee, it is clearly a female employee framing her male superior!
