Initially thought to be just a regr assault case, the police encountered obstacles during their
investigation. First, the surveince footage was reced, and then they discovered that the car used
by the kidnappers was actually a scrapped car with fake license tes.
Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
When they found the car, it had already been scrapped, and no clues were found.
Skyler went to the police station a few times and almost got detained by the police, but in the end, the
olddy managed to settle the matter and even scolded Skyler.
Celeste didn’t expect the case to end up unresolved.
Old Mr. Campbell was discharged from the hospital a weekter, his health recovering quite well, and
he resumed his daily morning walks. Three dayster, when Celeste returned home, instead of seeing
Grandpa David telling her to wash her hands for dinner as usual, she saw a note on his usual chair.
The note read: “The pig at home is about to give birth to piglets, I’m going back to help deliver them. I’ll
roast you a suckling pig.”
And just like that, Old Mr. Campbell quietly left J City.
After making sure Old Mr. Campbell safely returned to his hometown, Celeste got busy with filming and
preparing for the olddy’s birthday banquet.
Soon she encountered her first problem.
The venue originally booked for the banquet was reserved by someone else.
Although there were many beautiful venues avable for rent in J City, the one by Ruby Lake was
obviously the most suitable in terms ofndscape and size. The olddy only held a birthday banquet
once every ten years, so it couldn’t be taken lightly.
Celeste contacted the person in charge of Ruby Lake, hoping to inquire about the other client’s phone
number to see if they could negotiate a
deal.
However, the person in charge refused, so Celeste had to find a way to contact the owner of the venue.
After searching for a long time, she found Mrs. Kelley.
It turned out that the venue was owned by Mrs. Kelley’s family. When Celeste proposed to coordinate
the rental time, Mrs. Kelley said with a difficult expression: “Ms. Campbell, it’s not that I don’t want to
help you, but the other party has already booked a wedding and set a date. How am I supposed to tell
them?”
Celeste said, “Mrs. Kelley, please talk to them for me. If they are willing to change the date, I can pay
three times their deposit.”
Mrs. Kelley smiled, her expressionced with a hint of contempt, as she addressed Skyler. “Ms.
Campbell, it seems your family is not ustomed to hosting extravagant banquets, so perhaps you fail.
Celeste pulled herself together, “I get what Mrs. Kelley is saying, but it’s the olddy’s birthday
celebration, and it only happens once every ten years. I’ve got to give it my all. Mrs. Kelley is a
businesswoman, and she surely doesn’t want to upset her clients. So, could you please give me the
contact info of the clients who booked the ce? I’ll figure out a way tomunicate with them. I’ll
cover any penalties or other fees, is that cool?”
“Ms. Campbell, you said I’m in business, and the basic principle of doing business is to protect the
privacy of clients. If I give you their info today, and tomorrow the clients spread the word, my reputation
built over the years would be affected. Who’d dare to do business with me then?”
Celeste went silent.
“Alright,” Mrs. Kelley stood up, “I have to receive other guestster. You can go check out other ces.
There are plenty of venues in J City. Look around a bit more, and you’ll find the right ce.”
After Celeste left, Mrs. Kelley picked up her phone and called Skyler.
“Skyler, don’t worry, I’ll take care of the things you asked me to.”
“Thank you so much. I’llpensate you for the venue loss.”
“No need for that. Just keep an eye on the issue I mentioned to you before. I’ve already notified the
other big venues. It won’t be that easy for Celeste to rent a ce.”
After hanging up, Skyler suddenly heard the sound of shattered ss behind her.
