[Chapter 81: Hot Headlines]
In the Westwood area, inside a newly decorated mansion.
Dwayne Johnson sat on the big sofa in his bedroom, intently watching TV. Dany Garcia emerged from the makeup room, joining him to watch a gossip show.
After a while, Johnson couldn't help but exclaim, "Steve Nutt is amazing." According to the one-drop rule, he was Black too. "If it were me, I definitely couldn't do that. The Dodgers' cohesion must be incredibly strong after this."
Dany laughed, "What you're seeing may not be the truth."
Johnson had been watching since the show's start, catching the moment when Megan Taylor connected with the Dodgers' Black players. He argued, "You didn't see earlier. The information wasn't released by the Dodgers nor promoted by the Nutt couple. It was caught by paparazzi."
"Just because a journalist got a scoop doesn't mean it's true," Dany reminded sternly. "Did you forget? We were also photographed last month."
Johnson was startled, tapping his forehead. "You mean..."
Dany picked up the thread. "During the day, Steve Nutt's manager called to confirm whether Hawke had worked with us. I spoke highly of Hawke since he was no ordinary person. Yet, it was less than a day before Steve Nutt dropped this bombshell."
