The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 73 Executioner

In West Hollywood, Eric Eason's personal studio is about to be established.

Hawke and Edward came over early in the morning to help.

The house was rented when the actors were being recruited. It is a two-story building with a yard.

Hawke took Edward to decorate the largest conference room so that they could hold a small celebration party after the listing.

Eric went out to do some shopping and when he came back his car was parked by the door.

He got out of the car to get something from the trunk, and suddenly a beautiful woman came over.

Maria Collins came over very quickly and with great momentum, and said loudly: "Eric Eason, you ruined my life."

Eric subconsciously took a step back. He recognized the person: Miller Collins' wife.

Maria was angry and a little crazy, shouting, "Why did you do this? Why?"

Many pedestrians looked over here. Eric didn't want people to know that he was being harassed by a man, so he pointed to the gate of the yard and said, "Let's go in and talk. Let's go in and talk."

Maria followed him into the yard, her eyes red.

Her husband's career suffered a major setback and he will face a series of difficulties in the future. She was also ridiculed by the media and many people around her, and was brought shame to the whole of America.

Maria learned the name Eric Eason from Henry, searched for the job posting based on the name, and found the studio according to the address.

After entering the yard and before reaching the door of the house, Maria could no longer bear it and shouted at Eric: "Executioner! You executioner! I had a husband who loved me, lively and cheerful children, and a happy family. Now all of this has been ruined by you!"

Hearing the sound in the yard, Hawke and Edward came out of the meeting room and walked quickly towards this side.

Maria still stood on the moral high ground and accused Eric: "You are an executioner who destroys other people's families. You are about to kill a woman and a child who is less than 10 years old!"

"No, that's not the case." Eric argued: "This is not what you think..."

Maria spoke much faster than him, standing on the so-called victim's side, and her momentum was stronger: "Do you know how my daughter is doing in school? All her classmates are laughing at her, and she is forced to hide in the bathroom alone. She is a girl less than ten years old!"

She roared: "All of this is caused by you!"

"No, this is all caused by your husband!" Hawke came over quickly and took over the conversation automatically: "If your husband was loyal to your marriage and family, none of this would have happened."

Isn't it just standing on the moral high ground and criticizing others?

Hawke's words were like a string of cannonballs, each one hitting the mark: "Over the years, have there always been some brown-haired, long-faced, tall, thin men around your husband?"

Maria thought of the male friends her husband occasionally made, and her momentum weakened: "No, no, he promised me that this was his first mistake, this was just the first time, purely out of curiosity..."

Hawke sneered: "Confirmation is simple."

Maria suddenly felt like vomiting and dry-heaved several times.

Hawke's words became more relaxed: "You and your children are victims? What a joke. Where were you when my friend was harassed and slandered by your husband? Where were you when your husband called the police and took him away?"

Maria remembered that she had met Eric Eason before, and Miller looked at him strangely.

At the premiere of "The Scorpion King", Miller even kicked the opponent under his seat.

Maria squatted down, unable to stand up due to the discomfort.

Hawke thought of the four dwarf gang members sent by Miller, and said, "Here's a suggestion for you. Find a lawyer to file for divorce as soon as possible. Miller Collins has been terminated by a number of endorsement brands and will soon face a breach of contract lawsuit. If you really lose the case, how much of your property will be left?"

His words hit home: "Don't forget, you still have a daughter. Without your property, can she still receive an elite education? Do you want your daughter to wander the streets?"

Maria is a wife and a mother, and she seemed to be enlightened all of a sudden.

She stood up suddenly, and all her discomfort disappeared in an instant. She glanced at Hawke, turned around and walked back without saying another word.

When Maria called for a divorce before, it was more of a talk, but now she is not just talking about it, she is really going to get a divorce.

As for that bastard Miller Collins who cheated on her man, Maria felt sick just thinking about it, so let him die!

In the yard, Eric looked ashamed and said to Hawke, "I'm not very good at arguing with people."

Hawke smiled and said, "Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses."

Edward was holding a mobile phone and typing quickly, saying, "For example, our boss is good at sharpening guns, but not good at using them in actual combat."

Hawke turned around, ready to kick him, but saw him typing and asked, "What are you doing?"

Edward pointed at the disappearing figure and said, "She has a daughter and is about to get divorced. She will also get a large sum of property. Of course I have to put her on the reserve list." Hawke was speechless: "You are really a talent." He reminded: "You haven't even dealt with Deborah yet."

"Nicole and I are in the passionate love stage, and our relationship is temporarily stable. I can't do something immoral like having two girlfriends at the same time." Edward said confidently: "When Nicole and I break up one day, I will launch an offensive against Deborah. She can be a backup."

Eric was just about to ask Edward for advice when Catherine came in from outside. He quickly straightened his face and greeted her with a bright smile.

The two kissed passionately.

The listing ceremony of Ethan Film Studio was held on time.

In addition to Hawke, Edward and Katherine, Eric also invited Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia.

The latter called Caroline Jones.

The ceremony was simple. Afterwards, everyone came to the conference room and gathered together to eat, drink and chat.

Eric answered the phone, found Hawke, and whispered, "Kevin Lee asked me about the role, and I think I should keep my promise."

Hawke doesn't understand filmmaking and won't interfere with these things: "If you think he can do it, just go ahead and use him."

Johnson came over at this time and wanted to have a drink with Hawke.

Hawke clinked glasses with him and said, "Congratulations, The Scorpion King is about to make over 100 million in North American box office."

"Thank you, you've been a great help." Johnson smiled from ear to ear. It was not a good start in Hollywood.

After they chatted for a while, Hawke saw Caroline going out alone. He waited for a while and then went out too.

He walked out of the meeting room and Caroline came over from the bathroom.

Hawke wanted to get the latest news about Sarah Parker and Bro Derek from her, so he said, "Miss Baa, let's talk for a few minutes."

Caroline extended a hand and pointed at her Chanel, then at Hawke's plain casual clothes: "People of high class charge for chatting with country bumpkins."

Hawke pulled five dollars from his wallet and put it in her hand: "Let's talk for five dollars."

He pushed open the door of the office next to him and walked in first.

Caroline curled her lips slightly, folded up the five dollars, put it in her handbag, and also went into the office, closing the door and said, "The recent milk scandal was caused by you, right?"

"How do you know?" Hawke asked.

Caroline pulled out a chair and sat down: "Many people at Fox TV are saying that Megan Taylor is so popular now because of the support of West Coast Entertainment Studios."

Hawke recalled the last time he saw her at Fox: "I saw you in the elevator of the Fox Building a few days ago with two clients on a talk show. Did it go well?"

"With me here, of course everything will go smoothly." Caroline raised her small chin: "I helped them contact People magazine. When their baby is born, People will buy the exclusive copyright of the baby photos for a high price of 150 million US dollars."

Hawke has seen such operations before. He remembers that the copyright of the first photo of Jolie and Pitt's first child after his birth was sold for several million dollars.

He was curious: "What do your two clients do? Why don't I know them?"

Caroline looked at him as if he were an alien. "How come you don't know Steve Nutter, the star player of the Los Angeles Dodgers? His wife Daisy Nutter is also a famous model. The media calls them the Beckham and Victoria of America."

Hawke understood and said, "I don't watch much baseball."

Caroline took the opportunity to mock: "I almost forgot that you are a sheep herder from Wyoming."

Hawke's counterattack was simple and effective. He took out his cell phone, turned on the speaker, and played the recording Edward sent him: "Baa, baa, baa..."

The voice is clear and melodious, like a woman's cry.

Caroline's face was so dark that water could drip from it: "You bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Hawke poured her a glass of water and said, "Drink some cool water and calm down."

Caroline said, "Delete the recording!"

Hawke tapped his phone randomly: "Deleted."

He returned to business: "Stop making fun of me and talk about work. Did Sarah adopt the solution I gave you last time?"

Caroline looked much better. "It's been used a little bit. I helped Sarah get in touch with several brands such as Estee Lauder and Lancome. We are currently negotiating for the endorsement of skin care products. There is great hope that the deal will be successful."
