Chapter 337: Pity Selling and Image Building
[Chapter 337: Pity Selling and Image Building]
Stepping out of the luxurious Silver Lake mansion, Hawke got into the car driven by Edward as they headed to Burbank. This weekend, Nightcrawler, directed by Eric Emerson and starring Tom Cruise, had its private screening hosted by Paramount Pictures at a cinema in Burbank. As the undisclosed prototype of the film, Hawke received the invitation.
"Boss, I got into the missing persons support group," Edward said while driving.
This group originated from Hawke's suggestion, utilizing Twitter's technology and algorithms to create multiple accounts with different ages, genders, addresses, and IPs. Hawke could easily imagine that Harley had fallen into a scam trap, with the only real person in the group being her, while the others were all facilitators, pushing her to take risks.
At that moment, Edward added, "Harley pulled in two people into the group over the weekend, both of whom are family members of the missing."
"Real family members?" Hawke asked.
"Yes," Edward replied. "She's quite capable. Besides contacting the family of victims, she's also reached out to people at the Ackman Medical Center in Orange County. She thinks she can handle that connection."
"I knew she was the right person," Hawke said.
"Campos also mentioned something. Harley replied to the email, wanting to meet the news source," Edward disclosed.
