Chapter 220: Fame and Fortune

"Bernard, this seems to be Daniel Radcliffe's house."

On Hampton Avenue, Detective Charlotte sat in a black Lotus car, peering through the window at several townhouses.

"Yes, reporters have photographed Daniel here before."

Reporter Gary leaned against the car window, holding a telephoto lens camera, constantly looking at the upstairs windows.

Suddenly, he saw a glimpse of Robert with golden hair on the balcony, which should be Daniel's house, where Link and Emma Watson were also.

"What do we do now? I just found out that not only Link and Emma are here, but several actors from the Harry Potter crew are also here. They're having a party. Can this alone prove that they're dating?"

Charlotte asked.

Gary sighed and shook his head.

Celebrities in the circle love to have parties and get a group of people together to have fun.

And entertainment reporters hate this kind of party the most. If two celebrities are dating and get photographed, it will become a scandal.

If a group of people are dating at a party, as long as there is no actual evidence, it will not have much impact.

Now they knew that Link and Emma Watson might be dating under the guise of a party, but they couldn't find evidence. It was like knowing there was a pile of money upstairs but not being able to get it. He was very unwilling.

"Jack, how do you usually take photos when you help people catch cheaters?"

Gary asked, adjusting his glasses.

"It's different. Most of the people we catch cheating are ordinary people, not very vigilant, without bodyguards, and their residences or hotels are relatively ordinary, with average security measures. We can usually get it done by following them for a few days. Celebrities are often followed by paparazzi, so it's difficult to catch their evidence."

Gary also knew this, and he looked at the surrounding apartment floors.

"Jack, you go to the building over there and see if there's any way to see Daniel's house with binoculars. I'll go downstairs and see if I can find a way to sneak in."

"Okay!"

Charlotte put on a backpack containing binoculars and a camera, and walked to a relatively old apartment building next to the King's Theatre, which was built before World War II and had a distinctive Gothic roof.

There happened to be a vacant room for rent in the apartment. Charlotte pretended to want to see the house, paid a 100-pound deposit, got the key from the apartment manager, and went to the top floor of the apartment building.

He was secretly delighted, thinking that his method was very clever and might have unexpected gains.

However, when he reached the top floor, he found that there were already three people who looked like paparazzi, holding long telescopes and constantly looking at the opposite side.

Charlotte sighed in frustration. The paparazzi industry was too competitive, and to make money, he needed to run faster.

He called Gary and told him about the situation here.

Gary said he understood and told him to stay there.

While making the call, Gary also had a setback. The apartment building door had a code lock, and he needed to verify his identity before entering. The elevator served two households per floor, so he couldn't sneak in.

Just as he was struggling, he suddenly saw a pizza delivery guy coming over. His eyes lit up, and he thought of a good idea.

"Link, you've been too popular lately. Look downstairs, it's full of paparazzi."

Robert walked into the living room and said.

"Wow, at least a hundred."

Chapter 220: Fame and Fortune

"Link, you're so popular lately. Look downstairs, it's full of paparazzi."

Blond Malfoy looked out the window and said in an exaggerated tone.

Link shrugged, indicating there was nothing he could do.

Fame and fortune often go hand in hand.

After a person becomes famous, many things will be involved, and every move will affect the interests of many people.

Just like now, if the photos of him and Emma chatting together were taken by paparazzi and posted online, he might get a bad reputation, and Link Music and Dynasty Promotion would need to spend more money on public relations, which might even affect his record sales.

But the paparazzi would make a lot of money from it, and the media behind the paparazzi could also take the opportunity to sell more news products.

Link's competitors, such as the East Coast rap groups, might be grinning with glee.

"I told you to keep the party quiet. Robert, you were too high-profile."

Emma stared at Robert.

Robert lay on the sofa, shook his head and said, "It's definitely not my problem. After Link arrived in London yesterday, there were a lot of news about you two rekindling your old relationship. I believe many paparazzi want to take pictures of you dating, so when you left home, there must have been a lot of paparazzi following your car."

"There were some paparazzi following me when I left."

Link nodded.

Emma snorted softly, put her hand behind her back, and quietly reached out to him, gently pinching his waist.

"Hey, Emma and Link, it's said online that you two dated last year, is it true?" Bonnie, the actress, asked with a smile. She played Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasley's sister, in Harry Potter.

"Bonnie, do you even need to ask? Look at them now, they're almost glued together. It's obvious that their relationship is not pure." Robert winked and smirked.

Emma's face turned cold, and she picked up a fruit knife from the table.

Robert was startled, fell backward onto the carpet, and then got up and hugged Daniel as a shield.

Emma glanced at him and said while peeling an apple, "Yes, Link and I dated. When we were dating last year, Taylor wasn't in the picture yet. Later, when I finished filming and had to return to England, considering various inconveniences, we temporarily broke up."

Link nodded, Emma was right.

When he was dating Emma last year, he was still an ordinary friend with Taylor. After the news of his relationship with Emma was exposed by the media, Taylor suddenly called him and wanted to be his girlfriend.

In a way, Emma was the matchmaker for him and Taylor.

"Emma, you dumped Link? You were willing to dump such a great boyfriend like Link?" Another actress asked in surprise.

"We broke up peacefully." Emma said, wrinkling her nose.

"Yes!"

Link shrugged, "I'm a boxer, and my home is in Miami. Emma is an actress, and her home is in London. If we want to be together for a long time, we will face many problems that we can't solve at the moment, so we broke up."

"What a pity, it would be great if you were still together."

"Yes, you two look very good together."

People at the party were talking.

"Hey, Emma, let me ask you a personal question."

Bonnie, the actress, leaned close to Emma's ear and whispered, "The news said that Link is very good in that aspect, is it true?"

But her voice was a little loud, and everyone around heard it.

Robert, Malfoy, and several other boys immediately objected, saying that this topic was boring and asking them to stop discussing it.

The girls laughed at them for being too insecure to talk about adult topics.

Hearing their jokes, Link didn't interrupt. Suddenly, his phone vibrated a few times in his pocket. He got up and went to the window to answer the call.

The caller was Wallace.

He said that several paparazzi disguised themselves as delivery guys and sneaked into the apartment, perhaps trying to take secret photos.

In addition, there were paparazzi on the roofs of several apartment buildings across the street, spying with telescopes.

Wallace told him to be careful.

Link looked out the window and saw many figures on the roof of the building diagonally opposite.

He couldn't help but sigh, the paparazzi in the UK were indeed crazy.
