Chapter 625
She picked up her phone, whispered a couple of words, and hung up
Trisha, carrying the last dish to the table, called over her shoulder.
“Hey, your highness, grub’s up-”
Celeste chuckled and shuffled over in her slippers.
Delicious
“Trisha, that plan of yours was wicked. You scared the pants off Shawn”
Trisha’s eyes lit up. “Oh, do tell, do tell?”
Celest spilled the beans about what had been going down with the Campbell family that day.
After Mr. Khad spilled the beans about creating a nft, she and Trisha put their heads together.
Trisha, quick on the uptake, suggested they target the youngest son of the family.
Kids were easier to sweet–talk, and when a kid got involved in such shenanigans, it cranked up the fear factor to eleven, like a horror movie where a painting foretells death.
Who wouldn’t be scared shitless?
Especially since Shawn was a scaredy–cat.
So they hatched a plan, staked out Helen’s whereabouts, and tailed her in disguise.
At the mall, while Helen and Angel were busy shopping, Jacques was sitting alone, glued to his phone.
Tnsha lured the kid out and Celeste, disguised as an old woman, persuaded him to play a game with her.
She had a knack for simple magic tricks, which were a hit with kids.
Jacques was hooked in no time.
Then she pulled out Caitlyn’s photo, told him to draw a specific picture. If he didn’t, she’d make his parents and sister disappear, just like magic. And if he spilled the beans to anyone, they’d disappear too.
Jacques went white as a sheet when he heard that.
She actually wanted to plant a bug on Jacques.
But that was a bit too conspicuous. Summer clothes were thin, nowhere to hide it, so they had to rely on the Campbell family’s nanny for intel
The nanny was hired by Caitlyn. She’d been replaced once, but Shawn got used to her and hired her back.
When the nanny’s father was hospitalized, Caitlyn helped find a hospital, pulled some strings, and even lent her money. Celeste was banking on her sense of gratitude
Thankfully, she hit the jackpot
Trisha said indignantly, “Really, I can’t see it with my own eyes. It’s a pity. These two adulterers must have been scared to death, night?”
“Scared or not, they definitely got a taste of their own medicine”
“We should have the kid draw another one.”
Celeste shook her head, “Can’t pull the same trick twice. This time it was an accident, they didn’t realize it. Once they figure it out, they’ll realize someone’s messing with them and tighten security on Jacques. We won’t get another chance.”
“So what do we do?”
Celeste smiled, “Let’s eat first, you’ll see.”
“Alright then.”
Just as they sat down, there was a knock at the door.
Trisha wiped her hands, “I’ll get it.”
She ran over, “thump thump thump“, opened the door, and was about to shut it without a second thought.
Nicolas wedged his foot in the door, grinning from ear to ear, “Neighbor, is this how you treat me when we’ve just met?”
Trisha held a grudge against him for previous deceit and snapped, “Who’s your neighbor? Scram.”
“You’re in 901, I’m in 902, aren’t we neighbors?”
He even shook the bag of candy in his hand, “This is a housewarming gift give it a taste.”
“Trisha, who is this?”
“No–mm-”
Trisha hadn’t finished speaking when Nicolas covered her mouth, “Celeste, it’s me”
He hooked his arm around Trisha’s shoulder and pulled her into the house with him
