The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 76 Hawke is too reliable
In the West Coast Studio, Hawke changed into a custom-made business suit, put on a gold Rolex watch, and came down from the second floor in leather shoes. He picked up a new business bag and called out to Edward, who was also in a suit and tie, "Let's go."

The two of them went out and got into the Mondeo, and Edward drove to Orange County.

Hawke sat in the passenger seat, thinking about how to respond.

When Miss Mee called, she revealed some of the information.

Hawke thought about it all the way and came up with a preliminary plan, but he had to learn more about the specific details before he could decide.

When the car arrived at St. Joseph's Hospital, Edward had to slow down in advance because hundreds of fans and media reporters gathered at the door.

Hawke looked carefully and saw that many fans were holding up posters of Steve Nutter swinging a bat.

Reporters were waiting anxiously, taking pictures of the hospital entrance and the place where fans gathered from time to time.

There were even two TV broadcast vehicles parked on the roadside on both sides of the entrance.

Hawke's previous impression of Steve Nutter and Daisy as stars was mostly from online news.

Now I have a more intuitive feeling.

They are the weakened American versions of Beckham and Victoria, but they also learned from the Olsen sisters and founded a commercial brand jointly owned by the couple.

Mondeo entered the hospital, and Hawke and Edward went straight to a ward building, took the elevator to the fifth floor, and turned out of the elevator room, they saw Caroline guarding the door of a ward.

Caroline's eyes lit up when she saw Hawke, and she said, "This outfit at least doubles your credibility."

Hawke didn't waste any words and asked directly: "Are there many people who know about this now?"

Caroline also got into work mode: "I took control of the situation at the first moment. The people who knew about it included me, assistant Amanda, agent Biles and nanny Sofia. The hospital has signed a confidentiality agreement with Steve. There won't be a big problem in the short term, but over time, the news will inevitably leak out."

Hawke looked towards the ward door: "I need to know the details and meet the person involved."

Caroline opened the door and went in first.

Inside the room, Steve saw the door open and immediately looked over.

Then a young man came in from behind Caroline.

Although this man has an ordinary appearance, he is wearing a custom-made suit, a gold Rolex watch on his wrist, and a twill briefcase in his hand. At first glance, he is an elite.

Caroline made introductions for both sides.

Hawke shook Steve's hand and said, "To resolve this matter, I need to know the details."

Agent Biles brought a confidentiality agreement and asked, "West Coast Media Entertainment Studio, how come you haven't heard of it?"

Hawke said: "I worked with the crew of D.C. Heights, which was released by Castle Rock Pictures, and The Scorpion King, which was produced by Stephen Sommers and starred Dwayne Johnson."

Biles had never heard of the former, but knew the latter. While Hawke was reviewing the confidentiality agreement, he stepped aside and sent a few text messages.

After inquiring about it, the agency quickly replied to him.

Dwayne Johnson's agent and Stephen Sommers' assistant both said they had worked with West Coast Studios, and the former was very impressed with the abilities of studio founder Hawke Osment.

Byers put away his phone and nodded slightly toward Steve.

Caroline saw it all and said nothing.

She had seen with her own eyes the unconventional methods Hawke used. When conventional public relations were not effective, unconventional methods might be more effective.

Hawke confirmed that there was no problem with the confidentiality agreement and signed it with Edward.

He was very direct: "Let me take a look at the child first."

The nanny pushed the stroller over.

Edward stepped forward to take a look and said, "When he grows up, his skin may be darker than mine."

"I need to know the whole story, everything about it," Hawke said.

Steve Turner said it first.

Hawke entered the ward, listened to Daisy's story, called Byers and Caroline, and heard from them what happened in detail.

He then asked the four people some questions.

Caroline was concerned and reminded: "Shall we work together to resolve this crisis?"

Hawke understood what this meant: "Give me some time, I need to think it over."

Steve felt extremely uneasy when he thought about the fact that all Miller Collins' commercial endorsements had been terminated and he had been sued for breach of contract.

As the star player of the Dodgers, he also has several endorsements.

Miller Collins' experience taught him that once an image and public opinion crisis occurs, businesses will definitely abandon him.

Hawke thought for a moment and asked Steve: "I need to clarify the specific goal first."

Steve said, "Daisy and I's career and reputation will not be greatly affected, and it's best to maintain the current status." "I can guarantee this." Hawke said calmly and slowly, "If you are willing to cooperate, I can make your reputation even better and become an iconic figure in the American sports circle."

Steve couldn't believe it: "You can really do that?"

Hawke seemed particularly confident and reliable: "I'm sure you have verified that The Scorpion King has made over 100 million yuan in North American box office and created a commercial miracle. I have contributed to this."

Agents have communication channels with each other. Biles just took the time to call Johnson's wife and agent Dany Garcia.

He nodded again at Steve.

Caroline said at the right moment: "Hoke has performed miracles more than once."

"Okay, what do you need me to do?" Steve asked.

"Your husband and wife, as well as those who know you, including Mr. Byers and Ms. Jones, all obey my orders." Hawke said directly without any hesitation: "As for the commission, $60."

Byers wanted to retort.

Hawke reminded Steve: "If this gets out of control, you will lose $150 million from People, and you will have to pay the corresponding liquidated damages, as well as other endorsement losses..."

Steve interrupted Hawke directly: "Okay, $60, I'll give you $20 in advance, and the rest will be given to you when the magazine photo shoot is over."

Hawke added: “Any expenses we incur during this period will be borne by you.”

Steve didn't care about the small amount of money: "Okay."

Hawke said, "Sign it."

The two parties drafted a contract, and Hawke signed a formal contract with Steve and Daisy.

During this time, Edward put his hands in his pockets and turned off the recorder.

Hawke roughly outlined his idea.

Everyone quickly agreed.

"Okay, let's not disturb Daisy and the child's rest, let's go outside." Hawke came to the outer room, waited for others to come over, and said, "Mr. Byers, please coordinate with the hospital to use the vacant ward on the left as our temporary office and reception room."

Steve looked at Biles, and Biles did it immediately.

Hawke asked Caroline, "Can your coke girl be trusted?"

Amanda thought about her first meeting with Hawke and how she almost splashed Coke on Hawke's camera and notebook. She didn't expect that they would have to work together today.

Caroline responded: "Trustworthy."

Hawke nodded at Amanda and pointed to the door. "You guard the ward. Apart from the few of us, even if doctors and nurses come, they have to take off their masks to see if they are the real people."

Caroline knew about Hawke's other business and reminded him, "Do as Hawke says."

Amanda went out and stood guard at the door of the ward.

Hawke looked at Steve and said, "Ask your black teammate Wilson to come over. He is the key factor."

Steve gritted his teeth: "I can't help killing people when I see him..."

Hawke is very good at persuading people: "Didn't you sleep with his wife? Find a chance in the future and make her pregnant."

Steve's anger disappeared instantly. He felt that Hawke was a very reliable person and definitely made no mistake. He said, "I'm beginning to have confidence in you."

Hawke said, "Bring the man here first, I'll have a good talk with him, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Steve calmly went to make the call.

By this time Byers came back, the door to the next room was already open.

Hawke went next door.

Caroline hurried over and whispered, "And me."

"Ten percent." Hawke was often stimulated by her, and he did not forget to stimulate her: "Miss Baa, scream a few times first."

Caroline had no moral integrity. She closed the door and shouted, "Mee! Mee—"

Hawke, the bastard, frowned: "Why would a good person bleat like a sheep?"

"You!" Caroline felt like she was about to be broken.

Hawke returned to the point: "I will temporarily hold back the media announcement and the People magazine notice. You can think of the reason. In addition,
You contact the agent of black Wilson and ask him to favor us and help persuade Wilson to cooperate with our plan. "

He specifically reminded: "It is a taboo in the team to get your teammate's wife pregnant."

"I know what to do." Caroline went to make the phone call.

Hawke looked at Edward and said, "Mobilize all your friends who like baseball to search for incidents of discrimination against black people that have occurred in and outside the Major League Baseball stadiums in recent years. Take all the pictures, news, and videos."
