Hollywood Domination Chapter 194: Don’t panic and be very scared
"...Yes, the dress was completely scratched, and the police think it may not be the first time he broke in." Cesare said calmly on the phone, "We are at the police station now, and Jennifer may not be there tonight." Suitable for continuing to attend public occasions..."
Not long after, he hung up the phone, walked up to Jenny and sat down, and asked in a negotiating tone, "What do you think about getting a room at the Hilton? The hotel's security should be more reassuring... Jenny?"
Jenny was quick-witted, and forced herself to wake up, "yeah—ok, I don't care—what about Mary? Is she okay? And Claudia——Lilian—"
In fact, she didn't know what she was talking about, until Cesare suddenly twisted her arm hard, and she slowly regained her senses, "——You mean Hilton? No problem, indeed Now only the hotel can make people feel at ease—did the police say anything? How did he break the anti-theft code to get in?"
Like the big house that Jenny lives in now, it is really difficult to prevent theft. Although iron gates and low railings have been installed in the front yard, and there is a row of bushes as a partition, it is very difficult for caring people. It is not an obstacle, so the key point of anti-theft is not to prevent intrusion, but to use security cameras and anti-theft systems, that is, after opening the door with the key, you must enter the password, otherwise it will automatically contact the security company, or even call the police automatically. Limit the stay time of intruders. Of course, with the cooperation of cameras on this section of the road, even if the intruder slips away, there is a high chance of being arrested in a short time. But unfortunately, the police did not find any clues from the camera in Jenny's own house. According to the memories of those enthusiastic paparazzi, after Jenny went out, they judged that she was going for a beauty treatment, and the vehicle would drive directly into the beauty salon, so there was no Instead of following the car, they drank a cup of coffee nearby, and then came back and waited after calculating the time. At least during the time they squatted, no one had entered or exited the front yard, so it was hard to say by the back door.
"The police believe that your whereabouts are relatively fixed, and the stalker can easily control the regularity of your entry and exit," Cesare said. "A very convenient way is to disguise yourself as a paparazzi, so that you can easily follow and chat at the front door. And if he gets the password, he can even visit every day during this period. You have to come to the company for half a day every day, and Mary will be your driver. In the afternoon, the cleaners are not there, and there are few paparazzi. He can pretend to be a cleaner Open the door and go in, and find out the details of your life—"
Jennie started to feel a little scared again, but Cesare didn't stop talking, but instead held Jenny's shoulders, forcing her to look at him.
"He's just a man, Jefferson." He looked her straight in the eyes and said flatly, "If you're afraid of him, you lose, understand?—it's just a very Simple problem, all we have to do is solve it.”
His whole 'don't make a fuss' attitude was indeed quite encouraging, and Jenny's heartbeat calmed down a bit, and she forced a smile, "Really? But it didn't seem so calm when you drove over."
A brief smile appeared on Cesare's lips, and he let go of one hand - but the other still held her arm, as if to give her some support, "The police believe that this is not the first time he Enter, and maybe even leave some monitoring equipment in your room, because he knows that you usually go back to the cloakroom after you go home, so he chooses to create a scene in the cloakroom to scare you. Of course, he may have noticed The new gown on the mannequin - the one that Valentino sent you to wear at the gala, he put your face on it anyway, it's just the right size, it shouldn't be a coincidence. They're in the house now to check for surveillance equipment, and your computer have no traces of intrusion."
"Then—" Jenny said, she immediately thought of all the things that happened in that house that should not be known to outsiders, "then—"
"It's okay." Cesare said, his attitude was still very calm, "You haven't done anything illegal, or even wrong - there is nothing that cannot be exposed, and there is nothing that cannot Bear it, understand? Remember, the point is not to panic, panic and you will lose."
"Okay." Jenny repeated, "Don't panic, I will lose if you panic."
Maybe what Cesare said aroused her desire to win. Jenny was really not so afraid, and her usual rationality gradually returned: Indeed, this was an unexpected event, but Cesare was right, Whatever material the stalker had acquired illegally, he couldn't destroy her. She's too strong to be destroyed by these little things, where panic is the most useless and flattering reaction for a stalker, making them feel worthwhile for their actions.
"So what should we do now?" She took a deep breath, "Aside from staying in a hotel, what can we do to help the police find the suspect as soon as possible?"
"Officer Smith will sort out your fan letters with us." Cesare said, motioning for a petite female policewoman to approach them, "See if we can find any clues—we are now You can start."
"Very good." Jenny nodded, allowing herself to fully focus on the matter in front of her, she thought to herself, 'Just do one thing at a time, don't think about it, just do one thing at a time. ’

"Your performance is very admirable," Anne Smith said to her casually, and she picked out another letter and threw it aside, "This one is too-but this one is very cute, maybe it's not ours. Suspect."
"Let me see." Jenny stretched her neck, Smith picked up the envelope, and pulled out the photos inside to show Jenny, Jenny stuck out her tongue, "ugh, it's hard to imagine what the people who sent the letter were thinking .”
I have to say that Cesare's arrangement is not bad. At least after reading through more than ten hours of fan letters, Jenny's mood has eased a lot. The frequency of stalker cases in Beverly Hills is also because she found that she has a lot of stalker fans-although it is strange to say this, but she does have a feeling of 'there are too many lice and it doesn't itch', Since there is definitely more than one person like this, and she and those female stars are still alive and well, then the whole thing of being stalked doesn't seem so scary.
"It's definitely not the scariest kind," Smith assured. "Really, it could almost be classified as cute."
She and Jenny looked at each other and smiled, and continued, "Of course I can't reveal their names, but you are the star who recovered the fastest, and you are the most cooperative in the investigation. We know that many stars have been harassed but have not reported it. , and some refused us to inspect his home—at least not immediately after the incident.”
She winked at Jenny, as if to hint at the deep reasons behind these decisions, "I have a sister who likes you very much and keeps saying that you are her idol, and you are well-deserved, Jennifer, I decided to start today Since then, you have gained another fan."
"Wow," Jenny said with a smile, "thank you, Annie, hey, another one—this one seems to be from the same person as the ones I found earlier."
Among her mountains of fan letters, about 1 out of every 20 is an abnormal fan letter. Some send **** photos to seek a fit—both men and women, and some regard her as their own relative. Some people and relatives showed love, and some believed that her parents wrote to ask for money. Of course, the more serious ones were some letters that issued death threats. However, there is some black humor in that although these letters are aimed at her, Jenny's team has never opened them before, because the fan contact address she announced to the public is written as caa, and some bank statements and driving tickets are related All the letters are sent to Jin, and he handles them on his behalf. Therefore, most of the mailboxes in Jenny’s own house are advertising letters, and they are usually emptied regularly. Mary never reads the contents. The fan mail was thrown aside, so after Cesare drove over to caa's mail, they saw some death threats in duplicate (one at home, one at caa), and the same sent several times In the end, she even asked Jenny if she had read the threatening letter.
Jenny knows that this is actually quite scary, but looking at the timeline completely condensed, it is easy for people to see the sadness and emptiness behind these stalker threats, and once she feels their weakness, the previous The sense of fear that her life was threatened was immediately weakened a lot, and instead she was able to smile at Fengyun with a strange ease. ——On the other hand, Mary, who has not been able to recover after being stimulated, couldn't sleep at all even with Nicholas' company last night, and went directly to psychological counseling today. Jenny slept well last night. She took two sleeping pills, and Cesare lived in another room of the presidential suite, so she slept until dawn, and she didn't seem to have any nightmares at all.
"Really?" Anne Smith took the letter and searched in another basket, "Yes—the content is right."
Her tone cheered up a little, and she took out her phone to look at the photo above, "The handwriting is indeed somewhat similar - if you encounter such a letter, just tell me."
"Tell me a few more scary stalker stories." After finding the clues, all this suddenly became more real, and Jenny asked, "Is it common to behave like yesterday?"
"There have been a few more horrific cases than this one," said Smith, giving Jenny a sharp look, before dropping her head to look at the letter again. "You know what he spilled on the floor yesterday was actually paint—I know you Smells blood, but it could be the smell of paint, Jennifer, it's easy to scare yourself when you're scared. And in many of the cases I've worked on, the gift box was delivered directly to the door, and the contents were It's the carcasses of animals, some of which are still fresh."
"Ugh," Jenny said, "Stop talking—I'm starting to regret asking you to say that."
Smith smiled, "Don't be afraid, your agent is right. In this kind of case, panic is almost the reward for the stalker."
Jennie nodded reluctantly, but was immediately comforted by a letter from Smith handed to her, "Ah, the kiss photo of me and Johnny - the photoshop is really good, and so many hearts are drawn."
"These little girls." Smith said, and she smiled at each other, and the atmosphere became more relaxed. Both of them calmed down and read the letter silently. It may not be appropriate, but...Jennifer, you and your agent—"
Jenny glanced at her and understood what she meant, she shook her head, "We are very good friends, but he is not my boyfriend."
Smith grinned and did not hide his joy, "This is good news for me. He is a smart and considerate man. Of course, he is also very good-looking."
"You are also a gentle and capable girl." Jenny dropped a letter and said sincerely that Smith is actually quite beautiful, and she is good at observing words and emotions. Jenny can feel that she has been soothing her emotions today, To be honest, if Smith hadn't been talking about similar cases with her, it would have been difficult for her to calm down so quickly. "But I must say, Cesare, considerate?"
She laughed sincerely, and Smith looked at her in surprise, "Is he inconsiderate? But I thought—"
She stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "According to the procedure, you shouldn't get involved in the investigation of the case, but he thinks it will help you calm down—"
Jenny did have some doubts about why she was able to sort letters with Smith in the police office area, but she didn't expect that this was also the result of Cesare's operation. She said in surprise, "But does the procedure allow this—"
Her words were interrupted by a burst of noisy human voices—there was also an incessant clicking sound, as if a whirlwind had blown in all the paparazzi who had been waiting outside the police station. Jenny and Smith looked at each other in surprise, and Smith stood up and said, "Don't tell me those paparazzi broke in—"
Extreme surprise appeared on her face, and her raised hand was almost frozen in mid-air. Jenny also raised her head, and looked back at the glass window with some anxiety—
With a hood and stubble on his chin, the almost unrecognizable Christopher Hanks whirls into the police station, oblivious to the excitement of the paparazzi swarming in with him to film him After looking around for a while, he strode towards the meeting room temporarily requisitioned by Jenny and Smith, opened the door and barged in.
"Thank God you're fine!" He said excitedly, he stepped forward and pulled the surprised Jenny into his arms, and gave her a hug without hesitation, "Jenny—you scared me to death!"
In this tight, warm embrace, Jenny first felt a little discomfort of being strangled and suffocated, as well as a bad forecast for the news pages in the next few days, but then, instinct replaced her. everything.
——From yesterday to now, this is the first hug she got, very unreasonable, even crazy—he shouldn’t be so reckless anyway, there are more and better ways ——
However, thinking of the picture she saw yesterday, and the helplessness and loneliness in her heart when she rushed out of the door——
Jenny closed her eyes, instead of pushing Chris away, she chose to deepen the hug.
"I'm very scared, too," she said, "Yes, I'm also very scared..."
