The Wolf of Los Angeles

"This woman is a lunatic!"

From Tom Cruise's perspective, Nicole Kidman's behavior is simply unreasonable.

Just like Nicole Kidman thinks Tom Cruise has wasted her ten years of youth, so at the moment of divorce, there will be such an exciting release.

For ex-husband and ex-wife, it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong, and only has a position.

Tom Cruise said: "Nicole Kidman spent money to find an inconspicuous small public relations company, and targeted me by deliberately making fakes and spreading rumors."

Now that Tom Cruise is paying money with ease and can provide resources in the entertainment industry, Hawke naturally stands in Tom Cruise's position.

This is also the most basic professional ethics.

Hawke asked directly, "What are you going to do?"

"It's not convenient for me to take action. She's a woman after all." Tom Cruise has concerns: "For ex-husbands, no matter who is wrong, the public and public opinion will think it's the ex-husband's fault."

He sneered: "The feminist movement has been developing for so many years, and this is also a stereotype targeting men."

Hawke has not spoken yet, but has considered this matter in a comprehensive way. Pat Kingsley shut up, and Nicole Kidman is still dancing...

The former probably did not tell the latter the real reason for shutting up.

It is impossible to tell the latter.

Hawke asked, "What's going on with Pat Kingsley?"

"She hasn't been to St. Bean for a long time," Tom Cruise said simply: "I think she voluntarily cut off contact with St. Bean."

Hawke had a conspiracy and said, "I remember Nicole Kidman declared Catholicism after he divorced you."

Tom Cruise nodded: "Yeah, she said it in public more than once."

Hawke confirmed this, and the rest was to let Tom Cruise do it: "There should be someone here who can influence Nicole Kidman, right? Think of a way to make Nicole Kidman Deman went to St. Bean's Cathedral to attend Mass, and then donated to St. Bean's Church School, and in short, she was involved with St. Bean's side."

The last time at Fox’s party, Nicole Kidman said he was a disgusting man.

Then let this disgusting man push her.

Tom Cruise is a smart guy: "I get it, wait for my news."

Before Hawk left, he specifically asked Eric for the box office of "The Journey to the Dark Night".

The movie was released in North America for nearly two months and has a box office of nearly $50 million.

The producers and publishers can recover their investments through just the box office.

On the way back to the company, Hawke called Campos and asked about St. Bean's Church and the Church Welfare School.

Some time ago, after the recording of Pat Kingsley, he developed a media sea tactic for this Catholic church and minors.

The investigation was left to Campos.

Campos planned to start from the involved immigrant children.

The disappearing illegal immigrants and the disappearing immigrant children are not surprising here.

But few people check it.

The main input is not proportional to output, and there is also danger.

There have been people secretly investigating this matter at the Flower Butterfly Company.

Just like many rumors about Catholic priests and boys, these things are not secret, and as long as you are determined to investigate, it is not difficult to find them.

...

Ovila Street, Los Angeles.

Juan was walking on the street with Betty on his back.

This is the most concentrated area of ​​Mexican descent in California, and a large number of Mexican immigrants live in.

Two Mexicans walk here, inconspicuously.

Bypassing the old building of the post office, Betty glanced at the door number and said, "I have to go in."

"It's not easy to find a relative of a child in a welfare school," Juan said.

"They are very careful." Betty took advantage of her female advantage and acted as a kind-hearted person among the illegal immigrants from Latin America for a long time before she found out some news.

St. Bean Church Welfare School, not all children are accepted, and is mainly aimed at people who have lost their immediate family members.

Such a person is not very threatening.

The two came to an old house and Betty stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, an obese middle-aged woman came to open the door. When she saw that it was two strangers, she was full of vigilance: "Who are you looking for?"

"You are Mrs. Frieda?" Betty took out a fake business card and handed it over: "We are volunteers of the Los Angeles Palm Springs Children's Rescue Association, specializing in providing financial assistance to multiple children's families. Lange, who you worked in before, was working in before. Lai Restaurant, a former colleague told us about your situation…”

Hearing the words of financial aid, Frida immediately changed from being vigilant to being kind, took the business card and looked at it, letting her go out: "Please come in."

Betty took the lead in entering the house. Juan acts as an honest little brother.

The house was a little messy, and there was a mixed-race baby sleeping on the nearby stroller.

Betty glanced at the photo placed on the low table, with five kids on it: "The kids are cute."

"Yes, it's very cute." Frida's face was filled with a happy smile when she mentioned her children: "Although it's very tiring to take care of them, it's very warm when they are around."

Her happiness is short-lived, and reality is very troubled: "My ex-husband and three ex-boyfriends are all irresponsible bastards. They all ran away with children, so it's more difficult for me to live."

Betty took out a form seriously: "You fill in the information about the children. Have they gone to school? The information about the school you are currently studying is also filled in, and each child will receive a subsidy."

This sentence seemed to remind Frida: "Can every child get a grant?"

Betty was using this method to arouse Frida's interest: "Yes, the foundation needs to be reviewed, but the situation is real, and the subsidies will be dropped soon."

Frida asked, "I...I have a nephew, can I count it?"

Betty asked back, "Did he live with you? Where to go to school."

"My sister and brother-in-law died of illness." Frida said in detail: "I have always been raising him, but you have also seen the situation here. There are a lot of children, and I can't do it, so I sent him to the Catholic welfare school. , but I visit him every week... No, I pick him up every week."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Betty wrote and painted on the form: "If what you said is true, this situation will count, but only if I have to see people with my own eyes."

Frida thought for a while, "It's not a weekend, I can't pick him up."

For a family like her, an additional financial allowance is a huge temptation and cannot be refused: "Yes, you can visit him, and if you have time, we can visit Marcelo at San Bean Welfare School."

Juan came over and said, "This lady's situation is the kind that needs help the most."

Frida nodded repeatedly.

Betty asked, “When can we pass?”

Frida looked at the time: "The children are about to get out of school. When they are out of school, I will arrange them and take you there immediately."

Betty nodded, "Ms., you're lucky, we have time to wait."

Half an hour later, Frida picked up the children and asked to take care of the neighbors, taking Betty and Juan straight to the St. Bean Church Welfare School.

This is not the first time Frida has come here. She has entered the school with a familiar background and met her nephew Marcelo through a familiar teacher.

She gave the teacher some benefits, and took him out of the school gate under the pretext of taking Marcelo for supper, and met Betty and Juan waiting outside.

Betty accompanied them into a restaurant and invited them to dinner.

Both sides have established initial trust.

Betty and Juan were not in a hurry, but won more trust from both of them step by step.

In the next two days, Frida passed the foundation's review and received a subsidy.

By the weekend, Betty accompanied Frida to welfare school again.

In situations like Marcelo, his relationship with Frida has been recorded in school and he can take him back for a day on weekends.

Taking advantage of this day, Betty deliberately explored and asked about some of the situation from Marcelo.

"Those classmates who have no relatives have no holidays on weekends and have to go to the church to help." Marcelo said something about the school: "Every time they come back, they are very unhappy."

Betty pointed below: "Is this here?"

Marcelo nodded, "Yes, it's here. I saw it once, and the priest had to feed him painkillers."

Betty asked, “Does Sergio have no relatives?”

"Yes, he is an orphan and no one visits him," Marcelo said. "He can't leave school without the priest's consent."

Betty patted his forehead: "You have to learn to protect yourself."

Marcelo was still naive: "They knew that I had an aunt who would visit me every week and never let me go to church..."

"Is there anyone else?" Betty asked again.

Marcelo thought for a while and said, "Ras said it once, but he didn't like it very much. I remember that he said that he met a male star who can only be seen on TV and movies. That male star Let him pee, and he drink..."

Betty's eyes twitched, there were so many perverts in Hollywood.

She asked, "Oh, who is he?"

Marcelo shook his head: "Las didn't say it, and I dare not ask."

Frida came out of the kitchen at this time and saw Betty and Marcelo who were having a good chat, and said with a smile: "Please help me take care of him."

Betty smiled, "It's okay, I like kids."

While Frida was busy, Betty asked again, saying that Marcelo was not a victim, most of them saw or heard about it, and their understanding was limited.

But it also really opened up a breakthrough.

In the afternoon, Betty asked about Marcelo's recording and was sent to Hawke by Campos. (End of this chapter)
