The Wolf of Los Angeles.

West Olympic Boulevard, West Los Angeles.

Hawke lay in the bedroom of the villa, feeling so comfortable that he didn't even want to move a finger.

With a plop, Megan fell down and fell into the soft quilt. She moved slightly and rested her head on Hawke's shoulder.

The two men didn't speak, they closed their eyes and fell asleep.

After a long time, Hawke was awakened by hunger. He opened his eyes and found Megan was still sleeping soundly. He did not disturb her, carefully put a pillow under her head, and got up to go to the bathroom for a quick wash.

When he came out, Megan woke up too.

Hawke said, "I'm going to go get something to eat, wanna join me?"

Megan put on her pajamas and said, "It's too much exercise. I'm hungry too. Let's go."

The two men came to the restaurant, and Hawke brought out the midnight snack he had prepared earlier. While eating, he talked about what happened today, focusing mainly on Catholicism and Pat Kingsley.

Megan was not surprised at all: "Such news has been reported several times before, and most of them were suppressed by the diocese at all costs."

Hawke ate a piece of cold barbecue and said, "This St. Bean's Welfare School is not simple. It targets the children of illegal immigrants."

Megan didn't eat much, wiped her mouth with a napkin, took the laptop and stretched out her hand to Hawke: "Did you bring it?"

Hawke handed her the USB drive: "Listen to it."

The USB drive contained not only audio files, but also videos secretly filmed by Campos. Megan watched them one by one and said, "Their evil hands have already extended to the illegal immigrant community."

Hawke was full too, so he put down his knife and fork. “The church welfare school can provide free food and accommodation. Those children have no relatives, or their relatives don’t care much. Even if something happens, they can only endure it.”

Megan continued: "These low costs can bring in large donations from philanthropists who need those children. The church is smarter than Buffett in this business."

Hawke said: "They traveled all the way to America. Did they know before they left that they would be consumables after they arrived?"

Megan is a typical American and has her own views on Latin America: "Maybe if they don't come here, they won't have a chance to survive in their home country."

This reminded Hawke of former Mexican drug enforcement police such as Campos and Carlos.

If they stay in Mexico, they will die.

Megan unplugged the USB drive and put it away, then said to Hawke, "I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to ask the channel for its opinion. If possible, I would also like to expose them."

Hawke understood what she meant: "Fox's support is the key. If Band 11 doesn't support you, just pretend that this thing doesn't exist. Only when we ensure our own safety can we do more."

Megan suddenly smiled: “I am the deputy director now, so I always have some say.”

"Let's go, Deputy Director." Hawke pulled her up: "It's time for us to start the second half."

They went to the bedroom together.

…………

Mulholland Drive, Beverly Hills.

The BMW 7 sedan that Pat Kingsley was riding in went up the road and gradually approached Tom Cruise's mansion that occupied an entire hill.

The house is situated on over 2.5 acres and is a few minutes drive from the front gate.

The car stopped in front of the house, Jinsili got out, glanced at the familiar assistant at the door, and asked, "Where's Tommy?"

The assistant smiled slightly: "He is waiting for you in the study."

Jinsley didn't need him to lead the way. She picked up her bag and walked inside. When she arrived at the study, she knocked on the door and then pushed it open and walked in.

Tom Cruise tapped the laptop keyboard in front of him and said, "Sit wherever you want."

Jin Sili sat directly opposite him and asked coldly, "Is there something that can't be said over the phone that requires me to come here in person?"

Tom Cruise smiled brightly, feeling the pleasure of revenge in person: "I mentioned the church, and then you came, which means you know why."

Jinsley didn't believe the news would leak out. After all, she had been going to St. Benedict's Church for more than ten years and nothing had ever happened.

Her attitude was still unusually cold: "Don't say these useless things, Tommy, we can't coexist peacefully. You still don't understand that it was you who started this war!"

Tom Cruise was so angry that he laughed: "I started the war? You used the media to smear me for having deviant beliefs, for being a gay, and for controlling and imprisoning Nicole Kidman's freedom. Wasn't this war initiated by you?"

Jin Sili snorted coldly: "Because you fired me! No one has ever dared to do this before."

"Hey, wake up! You are not the center of Hollywood, let alone the center of the universe!" Tom Cruise was almost amused by this veteran PR and entertainment agent: "Whether you were a PR manager before or an entertainment agent now, your essence is to provide services to stars and win their contracts with services."

He smiled and shook his head: "What do you think? Do you want to treat celebrities as slaves? Or do you want to be the master of celebrities, or the master of a superstar like me? Do you think it's possible?"

The falling out between the two was not just about Oscar, but fundamentally a dispute over interests and status.

Kingsley was a woman with a sharp tongue: "You are saying this just to cover up your cowardice after your failure. Nicole Kidman won an Oscar and you didn't. You feel ashamed. You feel you are not as good as your ex-wife. You feel like a loser, but you dare not admit it. Instead, you conclude that it is all my fault." These words were like a sharp sword, stabbing straight into Tom Cruise's heart, making the smile on his face freeze.

So, Tom Cruise stabbed back without hesitation.

He tapped the space bar on his laptop, and the audio that had been opened earlier began to play.

When Jin Sili heard her own voice in the audio, she resisted the urge to smash the computer.

She remembered very clearly what was just said today, but it was just the sound.

Tom Cruise raised a finger and reminded: "Listen before you speak."

Jinsli sat quietly, saying nothing and doing nothing.

The sound of the boy calling grandma, the sound of taking out chocolates to exchange, and the sounds that are hard to say...

All of this was exactly the same as it had been during the day in Saint-Bean.

Kingsley didn't say anything until the audio finished playing and Tom Cruise turned it off.

The former's smile returned to his face: "We have known each other for twenty years, right? I can't believe that Jin Sili, who has always been strong and upright, actually has such a hidden side."

Jin Sili smiled contemptuously: "I don't know what you mean. You went to so much trouble to get the recording of my conversation about supporting orphans. It's really hard for you."

Tom Cruise said: "It turns out that to help orphans talk, you have to have people scratch and bite you. It's interesting."

Jin Sili's expression remained unchanged: "It was just a joke."

"This kind of joke is not funny at all." Tom Cruise thought of what Hawke said and directly used this killer move: "I'm not afraid to tell you that since the Oscars, I have had people keeping an eye on you. They got not only recordings but also videos."

He sneered: "Do you think the church is safe? Many low-level priests and welfare school teachers are also eager for money."

After hearing these words in the video, Jin Sili's expression finally changed.

She didn't believe the video could be taken, but she also didn't believe the priests or teachers could resist the temptation of Tom Cruise's money.

Jin Sili couldn't help but say, "You can't have a video!"

Tom Cruise just smiled faintly and didn't need to give her any response at all.

Finally, Jin Sili couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Tom Cruise took the initiative and didn't ask for anything specific, just said: "You know what I want you to do."

Although the man opposite did not say anything threatening, Jinsli did not dare to gamble. If she lost, not only would she be doomed.

Without her protection and connections, the careers of her husband and two children would be seriously affected.

Jin Sili hesitated for a moment before saying directly, "I will stop all work related to you. From now on, we are strangers and no one will care about each other anymore."

Tom Cruise didn't want to push the issue to the point of a desperate situation, so he just reminded her, "There's also that woman Nicole Kidman."

Jinsili thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I will take care of Nicole Kidman."

Tom Cruise clapped his hands and said, "You see, we easily found common ground among our differences."

Jin Sili stood up and said, "Keep what you have in your hand. If it gets out, I will let you know what old woman's madness is."

Tom Cruise spread his hands and said, "Watch your attitude. I'm afraid I might send the wrong email."

Jinsi Li suppressed her anger and said, "I'm sorry, I spoke too loudly."

She opened the study door and left the mansion without looking back.

After getting into the BMW, she was finally able to take a breath, but Jinsli felt that she couldn't be uncomfortable alone.

She took out her cell phone, dialed Nicole Kidman's number, and said, "It's me. It's urgent. Find a convenient place to answer the call."

Nicole Kidman quickly said, "I'm fine here."

Jin Sili said directly: "Starting from tonight, no matter what the occasion, try not to mention Tom Cruise. All the plans we made before are invalid and will not be used anymore."

Nicole Kidman was puzzled: "Our plan was very successful and attracted widespread attention."

Jinsili made up a few excuses: "Times are different, plans are different. You are now an Oscar-winning actress and have successfully created an independent female identity. If you mention Tom Cruise too much, it will make people think of your past frequently and affect your new personality."

She further said: "Scientology is very powerful. You know this better than me. The wave of public opinion we caused to smear Tom Cruise is now out of control. The Church of Scientology has become the party that suffered the loss. Think about Sharon Tate. Do you want to be the second one?"

Nicole Kidman thought of the former Hollywood actress who was dissected by the fanatical believer, and Roman Polanski’s ex-wife, and quickly said, “I’ll listen to you and try not to mention Tom Cruise again.” (End of this chapter)
