The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 181 Putting aside the video, is Hawke right?
Aon Center building in Los Angeles financial district.

In the office, Haley put down the phone and sighed softly. Bella Sean failed.

She turned on her computer and logged into her Twitter account.

Yes, even though Hawke Osment is their enemy, it doesn't stop them from using Twitter.

This is also the most widely used social networking site and software in the United States.

As soon as Haley entered the Twitter interface, she saw the announcement hanging on the right side of the interface.

There are both official announcements from Twitter and LAPD.

She clicked on it and played the video.

Bella Thane did a great job and was very ruthless to herself, even using Hawke Osment's pen to stab herself in the vitals.

Under normal circumstances, the plan will definitely succeed.

Who would have thought that Bella would meet a pervert who installed surveillance cameras in her office!
As the boss of a company, don't you have unspoken love affairs with female employees? Don't you have affairs with your secretary? Don't you occasionally find a celebrity or a model to seduce you?

If you don’t do these, what kind of company boss are you!

Haley determined that the operation had completely failed, so she turned off Twitter and went to Grant's office.

Grant was on the phone with Mayor Irving in Covina.

Haley waited for the call to end before she said, "Boss, Bella Thane's plan failed."

Grant was a little surprised: "Although the plan is simple and crude, the effect has always been very good."

"Take a look at Twitter." Haley briefly explained the current situation.

Grant opened the video and watched it carefully. After watching it, he sighed and said, "Bella did a good job, but she was facing an overly cautious opponent."

Hailey agreed: "We planned well, but lost to perversion and caution."

Grant nodded and asked, "Will there be any problems with Bella?"

"No, we have evidence against her, she doesn't dare to say anything." Haley said simply: "If our stuff is exposed, she will have to spend the rest of her life in prison."

Grant thought for a moment and said, "This failure has alerted the enemy. We should not make any more moves for the time being to avoid wasting our strength. It seems that we have to defeat them head-on in Covina this time."

Haley said, "The news from the Western Division is that Brian has appeared and is helping Hawk Osmond deal with the follow-up matters."

"As expected, these two are colluding with each other again." Grant was silent for a moment, and then said, "Don't worry about Bella. She has no evidence of our instigation. In fact, Hawke and Brian can guess that it was the man from Sacramento who did it without her saying it. It won't be long before we face him head-on."

Haley responded and then left the office.

Grant picked up the phone and called Sacramento, saying, "Things are not going well. We must pay attention to Hawk Osment. He is more difficult to deal with than we expected."

The man on the other side said, "You continue to assist Owen Nestor's campaign, and your first priority is to ensure his re-election."

Grant responded, “I see.”

Ocean Parkway, Twitter office building.

As soon as Hawke returned, he immediately called a meeting of the heads of various departments.

These people are well aware that Twitter has just gone through a very thrilling ordeal.

If Hawke, the founder, falls, the company might also be doomed.

In the conference room, Hawke said without any nonsense, "This matter can also become hot news. The Operations Department and the Editorial Department will focus on hyping this news in the next week, and the Technical Department will provide technical support."

Sasha, the head of operations and Carolyn’s former assistant, asked, “Is there a specific theme?”

Hawke was thinking about it all the way back, and said, "The theme is that men must protect themselves when they are out there."

If it is mentioned alone, people may be surprised.

But after seeing what happened to Hawke, Sasha immediately understood what he meant.

Except for Sasha, all the people present were men. Thinking of what happened to Hawke, they all secretly became more alert.

There was no need for Hawke to remind them, as they had already decided that in the future, when meeting with female subordinates, it would be best not to be alone. If they were really alone, they could at least close the office door.

The meeting was over in less than five minutes.

Hawke had a private chat with the HR manager and decided to control the proportion of female employees in future recruitments.

In the IT industry, men have a particularly big advantage.

Hawke also thought of companies like Boeing and Twitter in his previous life, which employed a large number of female and LGBTQ+ employees and were almost doomed.

These are all lessons from the past.

Afterwards, Hawke found Harland and Kasim and asked them not to use Bella Sean's program algorithm for the time being.

There was no one else in the meeting room, and Edward said, "Boss, I should have stayed in the company. If I had been there at the time, I would have directly accused Bella of racial discrimination."

Hawke said, "You're going to start with a nuclear bomb?"

Edward scratched his head: "Racial discrimination is definitely a match for women's rights." "Don't worry, if something like this happens again, I'll definitely let you be at the forefront." Hawke changed the subject and asked, "You went to see Campos, what's the latest news there?"

Edward opened the bag he brought with him, took out a dozen photos and handed them to Hawke: "This is the latest update of Harley who was in contact with Gretchen, taken by Campos."

Hawke looked at the photos one by one. The backgrounds were mostly near Paramount Studios, and many of them showed Halle entering and leaving the Super Star Acting Training School.

In the photo, Halle was obviously dressed up carefully, with shiny blonde hair and outstanding appearance.

It wasn't hard for Hawke to guess what she wanted to do: "Has Harley signed up for an acting class?"

"Yes." Edward elaborated, "After some secret investigation, Campos found out that she changed her name to Polly and claimed to be a girl from Montana who had just come to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming an actress."

He pointed to two more photos: "Harley moved out of the apartment and rented a motel. She told the motel owner about her life story. Her father died in a car accident. Her mother from Australia returned to Melbourne and started a new family."

Hawke understood immediately that this woman must have carefully studied the identity and background of the missing person and specially tailored her own background information.

Edward also saw it and said, "Boss, she is afraid that those bastards will look down on her, so she designed all this on purpose."

"Yes, she is very courageous and has a strong sense of justice." Hawke is not such a person. He has never even thought about upholding justice for others. The first thing he considers when doing things is his own gains and losses.

But that doesn't stop him from admiring such people.

Hawke put away the photo and said to Edward, "Notify Campos and have him send the two best fighters to follow Harley in turns. Good people shouldn't go missing."

Edward put away the photo and said, "I know what to do."

Coming out of the conference room and back to the office, Brian was walking around curiously.

Hawke asked him, "What are you doing? Be careful or I'll catch you as a thief!"

Brian said, "Find the camera."

"Don't worry, I won't mess with you." Hawke came behind the desk and said, "Who is behind Bella Sean? Haven't you found out yet?"

Brian said, "I have contacted Erica. This woman is very tight-lipped and her lawyer is keeping a close eye on her. It will be difficult to deal with her through legitimate questioning at the police station."

Hawke asked, "Didn't you get the information from your sources?"

Brian looked a little ashamed. "The higher-ups are too bureaucratic and inefficient. We have lost contact with the consulting teams controlled by Gray Davis' assistant office. They still don't know which one came to Los Angeles."

He comforted Hawke: "Don't worry, the most powerful group will definitely deal with Arnold Schwarzenegger. We are just small characters."

Hawke said: "These guys are not good people either. They will kill with their moves."

Brian nodded. It was an old-fashioned approach, but it worked very well.

He saw Hawke thinking about something, so he turned on a computer, logged into his Twitter account, and read the news.

After watching for a while, he couldn't help but say to Hawke: "You are using your own case to stir up a hot topic!"

Hawke said: "It has already happened, of course we have to use it. Wasting is not a good habit."

Brian was speechless for a while.

The founder and CEO of Twitter was framed by a female subordinate, and the related news quickly became a hot topic.

Even though the person's face could not be seen clearly, the video still topped the Twitter trending news list thanks to the strong support of many netizens.

It also made it onto Google's hot search news list.

The strong response from netizens far exceeded outside expectations.

On Twitter, countless people retweeted Hawke's news and video and left their own opinions.

"The whole United States is clamoring to protect women's rights, but who will protect the legitimate rights of men?"

"It's not easy for men out there. You must learn from Hawke and protect yourself!"

"A true experience: my former colleague was falsely accused of sexual harassment by a woman in the office. Although there was a recording to prove it, he was still fired by his female boss."

"I'm a photographer. When I was shooting on the subway, a woman suddenly broke into my camera and falsely accused me of secretly photographing her privacy. I ended up paying $500."

"It has been proven that when you are with colleagues or single women who are not your friends, especially women with whom you may have conflicts of interest, you must be careful. Otherwise, if they falsely accuse you of secretly filming or peeping at sexual harassment, you will have no way to explain and will be socially dead."

Faced with the overwhelming public opinion, how could feminists remain silent?

In reality, they may be afraid of a man's iron fist, a literal iron fist.

But on the Internet, they are fearless and seem invincible.

Many feminists also fought back on Twitter.

"Those weird men, the victims of sexual harassment are mostly women!"

"You have been exploiting women for hundreds of years, and you want to continue exploiting them?"

"If I hadn't spoken out until something happened, it would have been too late!"

"Apart from the content of the video, shouldn't Hawke Osment reflect on whether he has done anything wrong? Is he treating female employees unfairly in his daily work? Is he giving people the wrong hints? There are so many men at Twitter, why did the actress choose Hawke Osment?"
