America achieves both fame and fortune

Chapter 560 The person can't get out.

As Georgina left the police station, she noticed four missed calls on her phone, all from Martin, which warmed her heart.

But the pain in her arms and face reminded her of the bastards who had been temporarily detained by the LAPD, and she couldn't help but spit a few times!

Women are strange creatures; when they look down on a man, all they see are his shortcomings.

Georgina said goodbye to her lawyer, got into her car, and quickly called Martin. As soon as he answered, she said, "I'm out of the police station. Everything's fine."

Martin put it nicely: "I was worried because I couldn't get through to you on the phone several times, so I asked McLean of the LAPD to keep an eye on your situation."

Georgina, thinking of the bureau chief coming to comfort her in person, said, "Thank you, Martin."

Martin said, "Go back and get a good night's sleep. Don't worry, everything will be alright."

Georgina touched her face: "I've made up my mind. I'm going to divorce him. I can't stand that disgusting bastard anymore!"

Martin, being a good person, said, "Don't rush into a decision. Wait until you've calmed down, okay?"

Georgina responded, then, noticing paparazzi nearby, said, "I'll talk to you later, I'm going back."

The LAPD can detain Harvey for a maximum of 24 hours, or even less. Georgina didn't plan to go home and went straight to the hotel.

She needs to be alone to think.

The lawyer just told Georgina about some things that have been reported in the media, and Georgina feels that Harvey, this high-quality stock, can't hold on any longer.

There's no need to continue this marriage, so how can she maximize her benefits?

Although the two had signed a prenuptial agreement, Georgina had other ideas, especially since she possessed evidence of domestic violence. She believed that making it public would garner widespread sympathy and potentially secure greater benefits.

That's not enough.

Georgina's mind raced with more ideas, one of which even surprised her.

This divorce will inevitably involve litigation, and given Harvey's current situation, it will certainly attract a lot of attention. Would it be more advantageous for her to appear in public and in court while pregnant?

Georgina became increasingly excited as she thought about it, finding it highly feasible.

As for the child's father, isn't Martin an excellent choice?

Georgina applied a cold compress to her face, went to bed early, and put all the arguments and pain from the day behind her, even laughing in her sleep.

Burbank, Davis Film Studios.

Martin's office on the third floor was brightly lit; Martin, Thomas, and Bruce were still at get off work.

The LCD TV mounted on the wall was turned on, and a news program was reporting on Harvey's case.

Warner Bros. unsurprisingly followed suit.

The allegations of sexual assault against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein are currently gaining traction online, as evidenced by publicly available videos…

Accompanied by a voice-over, a large, portly figure appeared in the news footage: "This man is undoubtedly Harvey Weinstein. We have contacted Harvey himself and his office, but Harvey has never given a direct response."

Bruce glanced at the text message he had just received on his phone and said, "CNN reported it too."

Thomas immediately switched to CNN, an Atlanta-based news channel that was also reporting on Harvey's case.

At 10 p.m., when the news was broadcast, all five major television networks reported on the news.

The news has spread like wildfire online, consistently ranking first on Google's trending searches!

Seeing that it was getting late, Martin said, "Let's call it a day. Go back and get some rest. Keep in touch if anything comes up, and we'll continue tomorrow."

Thomas said, "Many people will not sleep well tonight."

Bruce chimed in, "We can get a good night's sleep."

The three went downstairs and left in two separate cars.

As soon as the car started, Martin asked, "What's the situation with Jody?"

Bruce said, "TMZ's owner, Harvey Levine, left Los Angeles this afternoon for a road trip, and the editor-in-chief went on vacation to the Caribbean. Jody will be temporarily in charge of the website's day-to-day operations."

Martin understood what these words meant: "If things go well, they can come back anytime; if things go wrong, Jody will be the one to take the blame."

Bruce said, "This is in line with our expectations; Jody now has considerable autonomy."

Martin had been scrolling through online news on his phone. After a while, he said, "If all goes well, Harvey should be able to leave the police station tomorrow morning. Have Jody get the victims to go to the Beverly Hills Police Department tonight to report the assaults. The location was the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills."

Bruce nodded: "That way, the LAPD will have a legitimate reason and excuse to detain him for a while longer tomorrow. With the leader and core member of the gang out there not in charge, we'll have more room to maneuver."

Martin made a few phone calls, and after finishing, he said, "From Kelly's side, it seems like Sillari is doing fine."

Bruce asked, "What about New York? No word from Bob Weinstein?"

"Not for now." Martin remembered very clearly that this brother of Harvey's was "extremely close" to Harvey.

…………

Inside the police station's detention cell.

Harvey paced back and forth in the empty room, his eyes filled with anxiety. He could tell, of course, that someone was trying to get him.

To what extent have online news stories developed?

Trapped here, he knew nothing.

And his wife Georgina!

Harvey suspected she had ulterior motives.

Georgina caught him talking to Nicole Kidman about work at the hotel. Things had been peaceful for two days, but she suddenly started arguing with him today. Was she trying to deliberately provoke him?

Even without Lombardo, they might have used other methods to provoke him into taking action.

This woman!

The door was opened from the outside, and Harvey's lawyer, accompanied by two police officers, entered the detention cell.

After the police left, Harvey asked, "Did you have a cell phone?"

The lawyer shook his head: "I don't know why, but they're being very strict with the rules this time. You're not allowed to contact anyone during your detention. You should talk to me instead."

"Someone's trying to get me." Harvey was absolutely certain: "What's the situation with the media and public opinion?"

The lawyer, who had some knowledge of the situation, said, "This is very bad. Five major television networks have reported your story. You should prepare yourself for the worst."

Harvey lowered his voice: "Call Bob and tell him to contact Washington right away. Someone will bail me out!" He lowered his voice even further: "Tell him there's a bank safe deposit box key in my office drawer. He needs to take it and hide it well."

"I'll call Bob as soon as I get out." The lawyer wrote it all down.

Harvey mentioned a few more things, and after the lawyer memorized them, he asked, "When can I leave?"

The lawyer said, "I'm going through the bail process, but it won't be until tomorrow morning at the earliest."

Harvey urged, "Hurry up."

The lawyer asked a few more questions. After leaving the detention room and routinely pressuring the police, he took back his phone and went out of the police station to make a call.

Bob's cell phone and landline were both unreachable, but thankfully someone answered the phone at home. The lawyer advised Bob's wife to find him and call him back.

A car was parked some distance away, and Jody, who was driving, turned off the headlights.

The car was plunged into darkness, and the faces of Anna Frank, Angela O'Ye, and Emma O'Connor were faintly visible.

Jody said, "Go call the police now. Don't worry, the police will definitely take your case."

Emma O'Connor asked, "Jordy, aren't you coming with us?"

"I won't show my face," Jody encouraged them. "I've found someone more suitable to go with you—the female lawyer you've already met."

She patted the three girls' arms one by one: "There's something I haven't told you yet. Attorney Camille once represented the victims in the Pete Nanny scandal and the Ben Affleck teaching scandal, helping them get justice. All the victims received compensation, and the perpetrators received the punishment they deserved."

All three had heard of the two cases, which gave them more confidence.

Jody opened the car door: "Go on, I'll be back to support you!"

The three got out of the car, and the door of a BMW in front opened. Camille, the lawyer, waved to them. Anna Frank, who was most in need of money, went first, followed by the other two.

Attorney Camille hugged them one by one, said a few words of comfort and support, and led them into the police station.

Jody had already taken out her DV camera and filmed their entire entry into the police station. She then went to the nearest Century City, entered a coffee shop, turned on her computer to use the internet, logged onto a website to upload the video, and then wrote a concise news article.

"Three victims of Harvey Weinstein's alleged coercion went to the police station tonight to formally file a complaint against the Hollywood movie god."

Jody moved the news to the front page, placing it alongside Harvey's previous news.

She believed that Harvey's story could definitely be made into a series.

If Harvey were to pass away, she could even produce a documentary on her own.

The night was deep, but Jody was wide awake, as if she could see the Pulitzer Prize beckoning her and a large sum of money about to flow into her account.

…………

In the police station's detention cell, Harvey hadn't slept all night, and when dawn broke, his eyes were bloodshot.

The lawyer came again; Bob had just called him back.

He first told Harvey the news: "I contacted Bob, and he said he spoke with Washington yesterday afternoon."

Yesterday afternoon, Bob did indeed speak with Washington by phone…

Harvey felt somewhat relieved and eagerly asked, "Is the bail process complete? When can I get out?"

The lawyer looked grim and said, "They rejected your bail application because you are involved in another case."

Harvey's eyes widened: "What?"

The lawyer quickly explained, "Early yesterday morning, Camille, a renowned women's rights lawyer, came to the police station with the three women who appeared in the video. Two of them provided concrete evidence. You have been detained for less than 24 hours yesterday, and the police are applying for an extension of your detention."

Harvey felt a sudden, inexplicable panic, a sense of dread washing over him: "This is a conspiracy! Someone is targeting me!"

Lawyers can't exactly break into prison, because a new case has been initiated, the LAPD has solid evidence, and there are no procedural issues.
