King of Hollywood

Chapter 503: Chapter 224: Returning to Cannes

After Vincent Price or Martin Modimmer had left, Adrian picked up the documents he hadn’t closely examined before and gently whistled. It must be said, Anthony Pellicano being known as the “Eye of Hollywood” in his former life, having many celebrity clients, and stirring up such major storms, indeed demonstrated his skills. Had Adrian not been watching him from the start, it might have only taken a few more days for the investigations to point towards him. Similarly, if Martin hadn’t cunningly taken up the role, this man would have likely retreated much earlier.

Adrian wasn’t actually worried that Pellicano would come to extort or blackmail him; although the old man was a bastard, he was also a cunning fox and well aware of who the real power players were. He wouldn’t rashly offend such figures. Apart from that, considering the abundant homeless and alcoholic truck drivers in this country, those power players could cause him unspeakable misery using merely the law, even if this particular power player was still quite young.

However, Adrian didn’t like to relinquish control to others, which is why he had Martin, whom he had persuaded to join, take charge as a test.

Of course, he wouldn’t underestimate Pellicano. It’s said that even when a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses all its strength. Adrian’s prosperous career and status were indeed aided by a foresight and assistance from Claude, but they were also inseparable from his rational character. Pellicano’s methods may be sordid, but if one were to really get entangled with him, there would inevitably be some trouble. Hence, it was necessary for Adrian to show his own strength first and then show some goodwill.

The results were very much to his liking; Pellicano had obediently backed down, and Martin’s abilities had also earned his approval, allowing the intelligence collection tasks to be confidently assigned to him. However, Adrian wasn’t about to trust Martin fully just yet. He was after all just responsible for overseeing, and with Regret watching over everything for him, there was no need to worry; time would prove everything.

“How will you thank me, Nicole?” At this moment, Adrian sighed and then pressed the communication button on the desk, “Come in, Charli.”

Soon, Charli appeared at the door, her neat office lady attire made her as stunningly attractive as ever.

“Handle this, pick out the useful parts and give them to Reiner, the head of the publicity department, informally, of course.” Adrian handed over the documents he was holding.

Charli took them and glanced at them, then lifted her head and gave Adrian a scrutinizing look with a grin that was both sarcastic and mocking, “It seems another woman is about to fall completely into your hands.”
