บท 129: Chapter 129: Golden Globe Awards
Despite the slim chances, Hardy decided to give Victor a final opportunity. Han Yezhen's insistence on exploring the possibility of finding the French art treasures led Hardy to instruct Henry to take Victor to a security company known for its intelligence capabilities.
Victor was taken to HD Security, realizing that these were not just common thugs but professionals from a reputable security firm. With his knowledge of the HD Security boss being Hardy, Victor understood that his situation was dire but still hoped for a chance to redeem himself.
Henry, the security head, warned Victor, "You can try to escape, but if you do, the consequences for you and your family will be severe."
Victor, fully aware of the danger, promised to cooperate. He handed over a small black-and-white photo of Debrand Hill, a middle-aged man, and detailed everything he knew about Hill, though the information was sparse.
Victor suggested that searching Hill's hometown in France might yield valuable clues. Henry agreed to this plan, and the next day, a French-speaking team from the intelligence unit, along with Victor, departed for France.

January 16, 1947, marked the Golden Globes at the Hollywood Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. The event drew countless stars, and Hardy, accompanied by Ava, arrived to much fanfare. Ava, stunning in a long, slim evening gown, drew admiring glances from reporters and celebrities alike.
As Hardy and Ava mingled with Hollywood's elite, including major studio heads and directors, the event unfolded with much excitement. Despite Ava's outstanding performance in "Red Dead Redemption," she was not nominated for Best Actress. However, Hardy's film won several awards, including Best Screenplay, which Hardy proudly accepted. His speech about the intersection of world cultures and film development was well-received, generating significant applause.
Ava won Best Original Song, delighting the audience with a live performance that captivated many, though the male stars knew better than to pursue her, given her association with Hardy.
The evening continued with a cocktail party, where industry professionals networked and celebrated. Ava, always by Hardy's side, enjoyed the recognition and admiration that came with her role.
Back home, after a night of celebration, Hardy awoke to find Ava preparing breakfast. He read the morning newspapers, which lauded HD Pictures' achievements at the Golden Globes, including the Best Picture award for "Red Dead Redemption."
As Hardy savored the success, the phone rang. Ava answered and informed Hardy that Henry was calling. Hardy took the call, and Henry's news was promising: "Boss, we've found Debrand Hill and located the hidden treasures."
Hardy was taken aback but pleased. The discovery could be a significant boon for HD Pictures and its associates, marking a successful resolution to the ordeal involving Victor.
