Switched gears right away, “Even though he’s my childhood friend, I’m a man of principle. I can’t help him do shady
stuff. But…”
He paused, “If I help keep an eye on him, do I get a reward?”
Celeste blinked, “Are you trying to negotiate terms with me?”
“Who am I to set conditions?” Liam caught on quickly, “Of course, I’ll do as you say. I was just wondering.”
Celeste couldn’t help but laugh, “As long as you keep me informed, I’ll reward you appropriately, in cash.” Liam grinned, “I’ll do my part.”
In the next room, Nicolas sneezed a few times in a row.
He rubbed his nose, suspecting Celeste of hexing him.
After chatting with Celeste, the first thing Liam did was send the link Celeste sent to Gavin Rowley.
“Crack this website for me!”
Gavin was puzzled.
Asking someone like him to hack into such a small website. Wasn’t it a bit of an overkill?
After being interrogated, Kaylee was temporarily detained.
Leonard’s lawyer wouldn’t be able to come until tomorrow morning, which meant that Kaylee would have to stay here until the trial.
She was temporarily held in a police station in a cell with five other people, mostly women, who were arrested. Their clothes were revealing, and they often used foul language, making Kaylee uncomfortable.
So as soon as she came in, she started making a fuss about leaving.
The police came to quell the situation, but after that, they ignored her.
Kaylee was still persistent; even if Liam didn’t help her, there was still her mother, her uncle, and her grandmother. They wouldn’t let her stay in such a place.
She went back and forth non–stop, bragging about her wealthy, powerful family, then threatening the police who arrested her.
It was already late at night; everyone was sleepy. One woman told her, “Kid, stop shouting. If your family really wanted to pick you up, you wouldn’t be here. They just don’t want to deal with you. Quiet down; you didn’t commit a serious crime; you can leave in a few days.”
“Shut up!” Kaylee clenched her fists, “You whore, you think I’m like you?”
The woman’s face changed, “Watch your mouth!”
Filled with rage, Kaylee had no outlet, so she started to curse at her.
“Am I wrong? Look at your dress; who doesn’t know what you do? What are you? Are you qualified to lecture me? Aren’t you afraid that your child will be discriminated against because of your lifestyle?!”
This provoked the woman to retaliate. She grabbed Kaylee’s hair and slapped her hard.
Kaylee didn’t expect the woman to hit her and was immediately dazed.
She looked at her incredulously, “You…you dare hit me? What are you to hit me? Do you know who I am?”
Before she could finish, the woman slapped her again, grabbed her collar, and said viciously, “I don’t care who you are. You can’t speak properly and your words are filthy. Did you grow up eating garbage? If I hit you, the worst that will happen is I’ll stay here a few more days, which is nothing new for me. What about you?” She wiped her hand on Kaylee’s little dress, “You’re a rich girl who’s locked up with a whore. How will you face people in the future?“
