Chapter 549


    Chapter 549


    Celeste thought of a n the detective might not be interested in a traffic ident case from years


    ago. Because the cases Mr. K investigates are either famous unsolved cases or cases involving rich


    businessmen having affairs.


    Yes, the cases he takes on are just the two extremes.


    The former for fame, thetter for money.


    Celeste was worried he might turn her down, so she mentioned in the email that she was a friend of


    Micha’s.


    When Micha introduced Mr. K to her, Celeste had a feeling that Micha knew him well. Thinking he


    might be a friend, she used this strategy.


    Turns out, it worked.


    Following the address given by Mr. K, she wandered around the old streets in the old part of the city


    and finally found a small


    restaurant.


    Upon entering the tiny ce packed with people, she couldn’t tell who might be the detective,


    Just as she was hesitating, someone tapped her shoulder, “Ms. Campbell?”


    Turning around, Celeste saw a young man in a ck hoodie and jeans standing behind her.


    He was taller than her, skinny, with a clean face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes – looked like a student.


    “…Are you Mr. K?” Celeste asked, puzzled.


    He chuckled, “Don’t I look like him?”


    Celeste hadn’t seen him before, so she couldn’t say he didn’t. She just said, “You look young.”


    Mr. K ordered a te of pasta and casually sat down, “I’m 37,”


    So he was significantly older than Liam Reed. Liam, with his hair slicked back, looked old enough to be


    someone’s uncle.


    Celeste sat down and started chatting with him.


    After they met, Mr. K ate while listening to Celeste.


    He was eating fast, like he hadn’t had a good meal in days.


    Celeste paused, “Maybe you should finish eating first before I continue?”


    “It’s fine, keep talking, I’m listening,” Mr. K replied in between bites.


    So Celeste continued.


    By the time she finished, Mr. K was almost done eating. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and asked,


    “Do you suspect your dad or his mistress staged the ident?”


    “I just think it’s too much of a coincidence,” Celeste replied in a low voice.


    She was nning to divorce, then had an ident. The biggest beneficiary of Caitlyn’s ident was


    Shawn. She couldn’t help but suspect him.


    If the ident wasn’t an ident, she would make Shawn pay, no matter what!


    After copying the information from Celeste’s hand, Mr. K told her, “If things are as you say, it does smell


    fishy that the culprit took off from J City after getting thepensation. I’ll try to reach out to the family


    first, and I’ll hit you up if anythinges up.” He paused, “Pay up front, and if I can’t dig up anything


    useful, I’ll give you a full refund. But if I do, the next time we see each other, you’ll owe me the second


    payment. Any questions?”


    “No questions.”


    Mr. K is quite the big shot in the industry, so Celeste naturally trusted him not to do her dirty. She even


    forked over an extra 20 grand, urging him to get the intel asap.


    She was about to go toe–to–toe with Shawn in a divorce property divisionwsuit, and it would be a


    game changer if she could find useful information before the case wrapped up. If it turns out he really


    did off his wife to get his mitts on her dough, Shawn would be in the mmer, and it wouldn’t end well


    for Helen and her mom and kid. No one would beughing then.
