The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 248 Financial Owner
Such big news is bound to bring great pressure, and as the director of Channel 11, Cynthia Rothberg cannot be too cautious.

In front of Megan Taylor, she made a series of phone calls to several News Corp print media outlets.

The earliest that paper media can be published and released is tomorrow, so even if the video is discovered, the reaction will be slow.

Not long after, acquaintances from the Wall Street Journal and the Daily Telegraph reported that they had indeed received an anonymous email involving a video of the priest and the boy.

Cynthia hung up the phone, called the chairman’s office, and quickly explained the situation.

Roger Ailes was more decisive than her. The news had already appeared, the video was in his hands, and other media might report it. What was there to hesitate about?

He said directly: "Fox is a media with a sense of social responsibility."

Cynthia understood, hung up the phone, and looked at Meghan: “Go and get ready.”

If you are determined to report, you must adopt Fox's attitude. She advised: "Be fully prepared, nail down all the people and things above, and don't give them any chance to bite back."

"Yes." Megan took back the storage disk and said, "Maybe a lot of media outlets have received the video. I have to race against time. Ace News will broadcast a special edition at the next hour."

Cynthia agreed: "Sure, you are the deputy director of Channel 11, you can mobilize the channel's resources."

Megan said nothing more, walked quickly out of the office, and returned to the floor where Ace News was located.

She entered the office area and shouted, "Department heads meeting, now!"

Everyone followed Megan into the meeting room.

Megan briefly explained the situation, played a video at double speed, and said, "Elsa, take the Channel 11 live broadcast car to St. Baan's Cathedral immediately. I will connect with you live on the next hourly news."

Aisha left the meeting room first.

Megan looked at a man with glasses and said, "Find out the identities of the seven people in the video and collect relevant information, especially on pedophilia. One of them is called Victor Salva, who was once jailed for molesting a child star on the set. Find out the news from that year."

The man with glasses hurried to do his work.

As Megan issued orders one by one, the "Ace News" program crew became busy.

Cynthia also adjusted the program. The hourly news in the next time period was cancelled and replaced by a special edition of "Ace News".

When the meeting was over, Megan took out her phone and called Hawke: "It will be broadcast at the next hour."

"I see." Hawke hung up the phone.

At this time, he had already arrived at the villa in the Silver Lake community.

Erica also rushed over and watched the video.

Hawke told her, "It will be on the next hour on Fox Channel 11."

"Once the media reports it, the LAPD will definitely respond." Erica knew very well: "Fox News can't just pretend it doesn't know."

It’s not that no one has called the police in the past, but the LAPD was always covered by the parish public relations.

Hawke asked, "The parish has a good relationship with the LAPD?"

Erica took the storage disk and said, "The Los Angeles Diocese is one of the donors of the LAPD. In other words, they are one of the many major donors of the LAPD."

LAPD is essentially the largest armed organization in Los Angeles. Since the other party has paid protection fees, they naturally have to protect their interests.

On the other hand, the LAPD can hardly extract any income from the victims, who are the descendants of illegal immigrants. Instead, it has to invest manpower and material resources.

One can imagine how both sides will be treated.

Ultimately, it's all about money.

Hawke knew this very well and said, "Don't rush in front."

There is no credit in rushing into such things.

Ellie nodded: "Don't worry, I will handle it properly."

Hawke walks her out.

Erica drove away first.

Hawke called Edward: "Go to St. Baian's Church."

The two drove a seldom-used Cadillac and left the Silver Lake community.

On the way, Hawke called Campos and others again.

St.Bian's Church Welfare School.

As usual, janitor Ronald Bain was doing his routine line inspection and went to the apartment building that had suffered a power outage last time.

He moved very quickly, dismantled the cameras in all the rooms, packed them into a material bag, and took it out.

After putting the things in the car, Ronald made a phone call and quickly got in the car.

These are his personal valuables, and he takes some away every day these days.

Ronald was free of worries, so he drove out of the school and came to the agreed place.

He fingered the revolver in the door glove compartment and made another call.

Juan walked through some cars, came to the car, opened the door and got into the passenger seat.

Ronald handed the bag containing the camera to Juan: "I'll give it back to you."

Juan opened it, took a look, and temporarily placed it at his feet. He said, "The video will be broadcast on TV soon. Don't go back to school or your residence. Go to the East Coast or somewhere else as we said."

Ronald asked, "Is it that serious?"

In order to make him pay attention, Juan asked, "Where did all those children who disappeared from the school go?" Ronald was silent. He didn't dare to think about what happened to many orphans who were missing.

Juan took out a black bag and handed it over: "This is the final payment. Take this money and leave Los Angeles immediately."

Ronald opened the bag, checked the amount and authenticity of the money, and after making sure there was no problem, he put it in the hand box and said, "I'm going to San Diego, and then fly from San Diego to New Zealand. I've always wanted to see Middle-earth."

Juan nodded: "Stay there for a while."

"I will," Ronald said. "I'll follow the news here."

Juan picked up the bag, got out of the car, walked towards the traffic without looking back, and soon disappeared behind a truck.

Ronald thought of the missing children and what he had done, so he quickly drove out of the parking lot, packed up his personal belongings at his temporary residence, called to book a flight, and drove to San Diego.

But instead of going to New Zealand, he booked a flight to Houston.

Ronald is planning to go back to his hometown.

Everyone has their own wishes and will not do things exactly as planned.

…………

Century City, CAA headquarters.

Nicole Kidman handed her handbag to Andrea and entered Pat Kingsley's office.

The latter asked: "How come you have time to come here today?"

Nicole looked very sour: "I went to the Four Seasons Hotel and came here to talk to you for a while."

Jin Sili guessed: "Is that fat guy up to something new?"

Nicole knew she was talking about Harvey Weinstein: "Let me massage his stinky feet, he's getting too much!"

The so-called independence and autonomy after leaving Tom Cruise are all hype.

How can a female star without any background have any chance if she doesn't flatter the big guys?

"Just bear with it." Jin Sili had no choice but to say, "You have achieved success at the Oscars. Once you have great commercial success, you can get rid of him."

Nicole said, "May God bless you."

She thought of something: "You often go to St. Bernard's Church for mass? I also changed to St. Bernard's Church."

This touched Jinsley's sensitive nerves: "Why did you suddenly change the church? I haven't been to St. Baian for a while."

Nicole didn't understand: "Why not go?"

"I don't like it there anymore." Jinsley wouldn't tell her the real reason.

Just then, the phone on the desk rang.

Jin Sili answered the phone, and the assistant said, "I just received a notification from Fox TV that there will be a news broadcast involving CAA on Channel 11 in ten minutes.

"Ten minutes?" Jin Sili was quite dissatisfied: "Does the PR department know what happened?"

The assistant said: "We are still communicating. The other party said that it involved a sexual assault."

Kingsley thought they were clients of CAA. After all, those Hollywood stars are capable of doing anything bad.

She picked up the remote control, turned on the TV in the office and tuned it to channel 11.

Nicole also looked at the TV.

When the hour arrived, Channel 11 did not broadcast the regular news, but instead inserted a special edition of "Ace News".

Megan Taylor appeared on the screen with a serious look on her face, which meant that a major social event had occurred.

She mentioned key words such as St. Bernard's Church, priests, children, Hollywood and invasion.

Jin Sili was stunned on the spot.

Nicole was very curious.

"Ace News" then aired several video clips. Although the key parts of all the videos were blurred, it was still possible to tell what was done.

One of them is agent Janet King from CAA.

The focus of the program is on two priests and the famous director Victor Salva.

Photos and detailed information of the two priests appeared on the screen.

It is also accompanied by Megan Taylor's voiceover: "This is the information our reporter took from the clergy bulletin board at St. Baan's Cathedral. Father Michael Baker and Father Stephen Weiss basically match the appearance of the two priests in the video."

The screen flashed, revealing some newspaper clippings and old video news.

Megan Taylor still introduced in voiceover: "Victor Salva is a director from Hollywood. While directing "Clown House" in 1989, he molested child actor Nathan Winters. He was later arrested by the police and sentenced to prison... He is a person with a criminal record."

Jinsili's heart began to tighten, as if... as if she was not there?
But her celebration was not over yet, as the news broadcast two more audio clips, one of which was the recording she had heard before.

Three people were involved in the recording, Pat Kingsley, Father Michael Baker and a boy.

Megan Taylor had communicated with Hawke earlier.

When the audio clip was finished, she said, "Pat Kingsley is the founder and partner of PKM and also a partner of CAA. She is currently the agent and public relations manager of Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman."

Hearing this, Nicole's already stinky face became even stinker, and she cursed directly: "Fuck! Why did you mention my name! What does this shit have to do with me! I'm not a pervert..."

She didn't finish her words because she saw Jinsley couldn't sit still and slipped down from the sofa and fell to the floor.

Although Nicole is not a good person, there is contempt in her eyes when she looks at Jinsley at this moment.
