The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Last night, Leonardo DiCaprio discussed celebrity public relations with Hawke and others, and they also talked about whether the Donald Party would create or exploit an incident to reduce the attention on Meryl Streep and "Sirius".

Surprisingly, a celebrity actually died.

After Erica finished her call, Hawke asked with concern, "Which big star died?"

Erica said directly, "Whitney Houston, the black superstar who was on par with Mariah Carey."

Hawke knew her, and his deepest impression of her was from the movie "The Bodyguard" starring Whitney Houston, and the movie theme song she sang.

Some pop music media outlets have even grouped Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Madonna Ciccone, and Celine Dion together as the "Four Queens of Pop."

There are also claims that Shania Twain was included and that they were called the Five Queens.

Hawke, recalling Meryl Streep's public shooting, suspected Whitney Houston might suffer a similar fate and asked, "How did she die?"

Erica's expression turned interesting as she said, "Whitney Houston checked into the Hilton Hotel last night, and according to the initial on-site investigation, she drowned in the bathtub."

She added, "A large amount of drugs and paraphernalia were found at the scene, and there were various traces of drug use in her mouth and nose. No third party was present at the scene. The detective in charge of the case is experienced and speculates that Whitney Houston was high on drugs and took a bath, and may have had a mental problem, drowning in the bathtub."

Hawke didn't find it outrageous, because for a poisoner, any way of dying was not unusual.

The number of Hollywood actors who have died from drug overdoses in recent years is enough to form a reinforced company.

Poisonous demons cannot be measured by human standards.

This incident could have a certain impact on Hillary Clinton and Meryl Streep. Hawke specifically said, "Keep an eye on this case, and let me know as soon as you have the results."

Erica put on her coat, picked up her bag, and said, "I'll go to the Special Operations Bureau now so I can contact the Detective Agency."

Hawke went out with her and soon arrived at the Coast Building, where he immediately called Caroline over.

Whitney Houston died in a private room at the Hilton Hotel. At that time, the news was still under control and had not yet spread widely.

Caroline wasn't surprised when she heard Hawke's news. She said, "Whitney started using drugs in the 1990s, and her career plummeted. In recent years, it has continued to decline. She has a history of all the scumbag scandals that black celebrities have."

She used to work in entertainment public relations and knows a lot about this: "A bunch of black people were sucking Whitney's blood, she lost most of her assets in her divorce case and had to pay alimony based on her high-income period, her drug use caused problems with her voice and her singing income plummeted, and she was also ripped off by her financial manager and investment advisor. It is said that she has been living off the help of her former friends for the past two years."

Hawke, recalling that the incident occurred in a standard suite at the Hilton Hotel, asked, "She doesn't even have a place to live anymore, does she?"

Caroline first notified her staff to immediately send reporters to the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

“Yes, she’s homeless now. Her house has long been sold, most likely turned into drugs that will kill her.” Caroline has always been interested in gossip: “I was having coffee with Rooney Chasen the other day, and she told me that Whitney couldn’t even come up with $100 in cash. The PR manager who used to work for her at Full Speed ​​PR lent her $100.”

Everyone can see the glamour of celebrities, but it's hard to imagine the tragic state they face after bankruptcy unless someone is really looking into it.

But everyone knows they don't deserve sympathy.

Most of the bankrupt Hollywood stars are drug addicts.

Hawke said, "Once the LAPD determines the cause of death, Twitter will guide public opinion so that news reports about Whitney Houston's death will primarily focus on the cause of death."

Caroline knew this was related to "Sillarie" and didn't want a dead person to steal the spotlight, so she said, "The news focus should be on drug use."

Not long after, Erica called Hawke. The detectives and medical examiner had conducted a thorough examination and could basically confirm that no one else had entered the scene of Whitney Houston's death, that she had a large dose of drugs in her body, and that she died from drugs and drowning.

Hawke hung up the phone and said to Caroline, "Keep an eye on the related reports yourself." He specifically reminded her, "Don't let Whitney become another Heath Ledger."

“Understood.” Caroline replied and immediately convened a meeting of a professional team upon returning to her office.

A few moments later, the Free Press Studio, which Twitter had contacted, also took relevant photos and videos and promptly delivered them to the Coast Building.

Washington, Delaware Club.

Dillon strode into a lounge where Joseph’s campaign manager, Rodriguez, was already there.

The two waited a moment, and a sleepy-eyed Joseph emerged from the suite in the lounge.

The latter asked Rodriguez first, "How are your interactions with the people at the Ocean View?"

“It didn’t go very well.” Rodriguez, who had recently met secretly with Obama’s campaign manager, said, “Obama rejected our offer and is preparing to run for the party primary.”

Joseph had previously proposed a collaboration with Obama's camp, with Obama serving as his running mate.

He said, "The Elephant Party is currently in turmoil, which was originally our best opportunity. Obama has no sense of the big picture."

Rodriguez said, "Perhaps after hitting a wall, he will take the initiative to talk to us about cooperation. The base of black people in Osaka has been split by the National Association for the Protection of Minorities. He failed in the last election, and the division has intensified in this election, so he has even less of a chance."

“Then let’s wait for the party’s selection process.” Joseph had too much to do, especially the affairs in Los Angeles, which were quite a headache. He asked Dillon, “Any new changes have occurred in Dong Zong in Los Angeles?”

Dillon quickly replied: "Currently, a total of six people in the Holy Valley, including Denise Stormi, Jessica Derek, Bibi Jones, and Toni Black, have come forward to the media to claim that they were sexually harassed by Mr. Dong. Four of them have officially reported the incident to the FBI, and they have also collectively hired a rather luxurious legal team to file a lawsuit in the Los Angeles District Court, demanding high economic compensation and emotional distress damages."

At this point, he glanced at Joseph and decided to continue: "Two of the girls involved in the Epstein-St. James Island incident have been found by the FBI, and they have decided to come forward to accuse Mr. Dong. In addition, the World One Tower was razed to the ground by the Indians, and those who bought the tower have already turned against Mr. Dong."

Joseph could easily tell: "This candidate who jumped out, Mr. Dong, is just a clown."

“Yes, he has to face countless troubles without making a fuss.” Dillon knew enough about the situation: “Judging from the current situation, not only is President Dong facing huge legal risks, but the Dong family may also decline.”

Joseph became interested: "Let's keep an eye on this and see if we can profit from it."

Once a wealthy family declines, it will inevitably be met with a pack of hungry wolves.

Everyone present, including Joseph, had been closely following the developments of the Dong Zong incident, and it was not difficult for them to make a judgment.

Dillon's visit this time wasn't about Dong Zong. Like most people, he believed that Dong Zong was just a clown who used the election as a way to attract attention.

He emphasized, "This morning, the Directors Guild and the Screen Actors Guild announced their respective award winners, and the biographical film produced by the Los Angeles Group swept all four awards."

Joseph, unfamiliar with Hollywood, looked at his subordinate with a puzzled expression. Dillon explained, "At the Oscars at the end of February, that film has a more than 90% chance of sweeping all four awards."

Joseph was well aware of the influence of the Oscar for Best Picture, and he frowned, saying, "It will affect many voters."

Dillon said, "Hollywood's ideological influence is undeniable, as evidenced by the ripple effects of Hollywood films around the world over the past two decades."

Rodriguez shared the same view: "USAID's remote farming industry is leading the world, and there are even many idiots overseas who have no money but willingly praise America, with Hollywood movies playing a significant role in this."

The combined negative impact of the Epstein scandal, the St. James Island scandal, and the Oscar for Best Picture is immense.

Joseph took it very seriously: "After all this time, have you found a good solution?"

These words left Dillon and Rodriguez speechless.

We've tried the obvious methods.

They've also used the tactic of secretly launching armed forces.

Not only did it not work, the situation actually worsened.

Rodriguez recalled something: "I just saw the news online that Whitney Houston had an accident and suddenly died in Los Angeles last night."

"Great!" Dillon quickly took out his phone to check the news.

Joseph made a gesture, and his personal assistant turned on the projector. After a quick search, numerous news articles about Whitney Houston appeared on the screen.

Whitney Houston, who was addicted to drugs, drowned in her bathtub yesterday after getting high.

"Drugs are rampant in Los Angeles, and another tragic case has emerged: Whitney drowned in her bathtub due to a drug overdose."

"Twenty years of drug addiction led to tragedy: Whitney Houston died from a drug overdose."

"The deaths Whitney Houston committed over the years have now finally led to an irreversible tragedy."

As if pre-arranged, the media outlets that published the news tightly linked Whitney Houston's death to drugs.

The comments from netizens below the news article did not show much sympathy for Whitney Houston.

Unlike Heath Ledger, who was propelled to stardom by Warner Bros., and unlike Meryl Streep, who was shot and killed in the street, Whitney Houston has been embroiled in numerous scandals since 2000.

He's been resuscitated several times for drug overdoses alone.

Joseph said, "This happened in Los Angeles, so it seems they were prepared not to give us a chance."

Rodriguez could easily conclude: "These early media outlets tightly linked Whitney Houston with the scandal, creating a preconceived notion that greatly diminishes public sympathy."

The opponent reacted very quickly, but Dillon still believed it was an opportunity: "Whitney Houston's status and influence are still very strong. Even if public opinion is manipulated by those with ulterior motives, we can still make a fuss about it and eventually reduce the heat of the Meryl incident."

Regardless, this is an opportunity, Joseph said. "Go for it and try to put together a few big events to commemorate Whitney Houston."

Rodriguez replied, "I'll mobilize the media. There seem to be Whitney Houston fan clubs all over the country, and they should react."

Century City, Beverly Business Club.

Edward looked at Joanna and Allison across from him, picked up his glass, and took a sip of ice water to calm himself down.

Joanna said with a touch of nostalgia, "Ten years ago, we met at the premiere of Dwayne Johnson's movie. I still remember clearly how you signed my hand. The warmth of your hand instantly spread throughout my body."

Alison, playing along perfectly, took the initiative to say, "I invited you out later, but you didn't respond. We've always remembered you."

Edward is no longer the savior who relied on divorced women for support. In the ten years he's been with Hawke, he's seen far too much.

He strongly suspected the two men had ulterior motives: "There's no need for that. You can just say what you want to say."

Joanna's gaze swept quickly over Edward. The young man was wearing a haute couture suit without any brand labels, and the watch on his wrist was a limited edition Patek Philippe...

She said directly, "Alison and I are facing some difficulties and would like your help, financially. Of course, we won't let you do this for nothing; you'll definitely get something in return, like if we do it together."

Hearing this, Edward cursed inwardly. These two wanted his money and his body at the same time; they were the epitome of wanting both!
One shouldn't suffer twice in one go, and besides, who can guarantee there's no conspiracy behind it?

Edward said, "So you're facing a financial crisis."

Joanna, who considered herself proud, said, "It's just a little trouble."

Edward had no interest in them and said, "I have a good idea for you. The Sugar Treasure website is a good channel. With Alison's reputation, making money won't be difficult."

Allison, knowing Sugar Treasure, said, "Do the creators on that website really make money like they advertise?"

“It’s not difficult for top-tier celebrities to earn a million,” Edward said, adding, “But reaching the top is not easy.”

Allison thought it was a good idea: "I've hired male models on that website, and the pay is indeed very high."

Joanna said, "I ordered it too..."

Edward simply shut his mouth.

Joanna was inspired and had a brilliant idea. She said to Allison, "Let's register two separate accounts and post content that includes both of us. I believe that Sugarbaby lacks creators like us, and we can definitely become top influencers."

Alison agreed: "Good idea."

The two couldn't stay any longer and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Edward thought for a moment, then called Hawke and explained the situation.

Hawke immediately notified Jennifer Ferguson. (End of Chapter)
