The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Hawke was quite surprised to hear that the thief had stolen the videotape and asked, "Could it be the one of her and Solomon?"

"That's it." Erica, who was in charge of the case, asked carefully, "She bought the copyrights from you and kept them separately. She didn't destroy them."

What Twitter initially broadcast was just a compilation of highlights from the video, with all the key parts censored.

Hawke said: "She is a talent to be able to lose this."

Erica smiled and said, "The tape is in her bedroom. Paris said she occasionally takes it out and plays it with her new boyfriend. She says it helps liven up the mood."

Hawke poured a glass of wine and handed it to Erica: "Sure enough, Paris Hilton's brain is different from that of ordinary people."

He then asked, "Do you have any suspected targets?"

This case is not sensitive, so Erica mentioned it to Hawke: "The initial suspicion is that it was hired by a manufacturer in the San Fernando Valley. According to Paris, several major manufacturers in the San Fernando Valley have contacted her. The show "Walking with Paris Hilton" that you planned for her made her a popular variety show star. Coupled with her identity as a rich daughter, the video tape is very attractive."

Hawke guessed easily: "Paris doesn't need that little money, and she's famous enough now, so why did she reject the manufacturers in the Holy Valley?"

Erica picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "That's it. Paris refused, but according to her, those manufacturers did not give up and contacted her privately. So she suspected that the manufacturer in Shenggu hired someone to steal the video recording."

Hawke said, "This kind of thing cannot be solved by stealing the videotapes normally. It also involves copyright issues. But the people in Shenggu are quite wild in their work style. They probably don't care about being sued. Like I did in the beginning, setting up a fake thief to buy the copyright can avoid a lot of trouble. As for the lawsuit, it can actually increase the popularity."

"We have just started investigating, so we don't know the details yet." Erica added, "It wasn't just the videotapes that were stolen from Paris's home. There were also some other valuables. The thieves left fingerprints that didn't look very professional, so the fingerprint comparison has yet to yield any results."

Hawke asked, "She doesn't have a security system at home? No surveillance cameras?"

Erica was honest: "Not many people would take the initiative to install surveillance cameras at home."

Hawke laughed, "There aren't many people like me."

Erica suddenly came close to Hawke, blew gently into his ear, and asked in a low voice: "Does it feel different to take a picture of yourself and appreciate it later?"

"I don't know," Hawke said honestly, "because I've never filmed one."

Erica raised her eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you a photography expert?"

Hawke understood what she meant and said, "I'll go get the camera."

He went to the basement, found a high-definition camera, and took Erica upstairs.

When it comes to photography skills, Hawke would definitely say that his own level is very high.

That night, sometimes he was the photographer, sometimes Erica was the photographer, sometimes the camera was placed on the table, and sometimes it was simply hung on the ceiling to shoot from overhead.

The next morning, Erica went to work on time.

Hawke sorted out the cameras, took out the storage disks, and put them in the safe in the basement.

This thing must never exist on a computer, especially one connected to the Internet.

Hawke had also made up his mind that one day when the two of them had finished admiring it, he would destroy it completely.

After breakfast, Hawke found Edward driving over.

The savior drove the Audi A8 into the garage and drove the bulletproof Mercedes out.

Hawke got in the car: "Go to the company."

Edward drove out of the Silver Lake community and turned onto Santa Monica Boulevard.

Hawke asked, "How was your date last night?"

"We had dinner together and then went to the villa in Palisade." Edward, this bastard, knows how to raise emotional value: "My relationship with Maria Collins has made a breakthrough under the wedding photo of Maria and Miller Collins."

According to the general view in the West, the soul still exists after a person dies. Hawke thought of the bastard who wanted to blow him up and said, "You always come up with some new tricks, kid."

Edward is a grateful man. Because of following Hawke, he has become a high-income earner and is on the verge of becoming a multi-millionaire.

In this way, he would seek some justice for Hawke in his own way: "Some bone fragments and relics of Miller Collins seem to be about to be buried."

Hawke understood what he meant: "Whatever you want."

"I will." Edward smiled with two rows of white teeth: "As for choosing a place, I am always casual."

When Hawke arrived at the company, he was busy for a while, handling some work and holding a meeting with Caroline, Sasha, Haaland and others.

As the number of users increases, Twitter's development speed in North America has slowed down slightly.

But there is still huge potential in the international market, especially in Europe and Latin America.

Hawke thought of David Beckham, a true superstar in the football world who has a great influence in Europe, Latin America and Asia.

After the meeting, Caroline followed Hawke into his office and talked about the financing negotiations with a long-term investment company.

The work efficiency here is not very high, and the third-party valuation is still in progress.

The dual-class share structure was basically agreed upon, and Peter Thiel wanted a seat on the board of directors.

Hawke made it clear that if he wanted a seat on the board, he could continue to pay more. These still needed to be discussed.

After lunch, Hawke received a call, and it turned out to be from Paris Hilton.

She wanted to meet Hawke.

Hawke thought for a moment and said, "Come over to Twitter. I'll be waiting for you in the office."

"Okay." Paris had been here many times when the videotape incident broke out: "I'll be there in half an hour."

After hanging up the phone, Hawke searched the Internet and found a lot of news about Paris Hilton.

The latest news is that Paris Hilton’s home was robbed.

There was no mention of the videotape in the media, which listed a range of stolen items including dresses, underwear, cash and jewellery.

Hawke was surprised. Even the underwear was stolen? Was it inlaid with diamonds?

If you look at other news, it’s basically just gossip.

Most gossip about Paris involves Britney, and the two form the current Hollywood scandal duo.

If one person can support eighty paparazzi, then the two of them together can easily support three hundred paparazzi with the explosive news they reveal.

There's also news about Britney and her father.

This father and daughter had frequent conflicts and would quarrel in public from time to time.

Not long after, Paris Hilton, wearing a dress, came to Twitter and Hawke met her in the reception room.

Paris was wearing a red dress, a lady's hat with colorful feathers, and fingerless diamond gloves. She was colorful and shining like a pheasant.

When she saw Hawke, she felt like she had seen a savior: "I'm in big trouble, and I can only ask you for help."

Hawke asked directly, "About the burglary of your Beverly Hills mansion?"

"Yeah." Paris had met Erica before and knew she was Hawke's girlfriend. She said, "You should know about the stolen videotapes, right? I suspect it was done by those manufacturers in the San Fernando Valley. They contacted me many times before, wanting to buy the rights to distribute the video, and said they could earn more than tens of millions of dollars, but I rejected them all."

She thought for a moment and then added, "And that bastard Rick Solomon, those manufacturers have also contacted him. I had my lawyer warn him a long time ago, but he refused."

Hawke asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Paris' goal was clear: "The contents of the videotape must not be released to the market! Although some of it was broadcast on Twitter before, the content of less than ten minutes was all censored. I'm not particularly embarrassed. Now I have my own show, founded my own candy brand, and am preparing to develop into the fashion circle and design fingerless gloves."

Hawke understood: "Are you worried that this will affect your career?"

"Yes, I'm a star now and I have my own business brand." After Hawke's last planning, Paris' career is on the right track.

The refreshing feeling of earning a high income through your own business even exceeds the money itself.

Paris said to Hawke, "As long as the video is not made public, it's fine." She knew the key: "Those manufacturers offered me $500 million in copyright fees. I can't give you $500 million, but I can give you the $370 million I earned in the past six months as compensation."

Hawke couldn't figure out the logical relationship between his own compensation and the copyright fees of the Sacred Valley manufacturers, but the $370 million offered by Paris was still very sincere.

Paris' current career comes almost entirely from Hawke.

She said simply: "If you agree, I will have someone transfer the money to your studio's account right now."

Hawke was still relatively cautious and said, "Let me take a look at the specific situation first."

Paris believed that it was done by a manufacturer in Sanguine Valley and was a little anxious: "Once the video is released, my career will be over."

Before she had a career, she didn't really care about these things.

But after I achieved some success in my career, I began to take it more seriously.

Hawke thought for a moment and said, "Well, I need some information, including the manufacturers you have contacted, your competitors in business and TV shows, and a list of your neighbors...well, your assistants and the staff at home, I also need these."

At this point, Hawke shook his head secretly. Erica was investigating the case, and Erica would definitely investigate anything he could think of.

Wait until noon to ask Erica about the situation.

Paris said, "I'll have someone prepare it right away and it will be delivered to you by the afternoon at the latest."

Hawke thought it would be a good idea to go to Beverly Hills and said, "You're home this afternoon? I'll come to visit you around 2:30."

"Then I'll wait for you at home." Paris picked up her handbag and prepared to leave: "See you this afternoon."

Hawke escorted her out of the reception room.

Near noon, he called Erica, who had been investigating.

The fingerprints left at the scene did not match, and Hawke had already conducted a detailed investigation of the people she thought of and ruled out any suspicion. (End of this chapter)
