Jose had come up with an idea on the way home earlier.

“I have an idea, Dad! Mr. Campbell has a thing for pretty women, right? How about we get Christie to come back? She's pretty and talented, so she might just be able to win Mr. Campbell's heart! Imagine the benefits it would bring our family if they get married!” he suggested.

Laszlo's eyes lit up with hope the moment he heard that. “You know what? That could work!”

As it was getting late at night, the guests attending the banquet had all left the hotel.

Lacie's car, however, was still parked outside the hotel entrance.

Determined to make the little stake-out work, she even took a nap in the car so she wouldn't have to leave that spot.

Lacie turned around to look at Kornel, who was sitting in the back seat, and asked, “Well? Is that journalist of yours still inside?”

“I haven't seen her leave the hotel. I'll try giving her a call,” Kornel replied as he dialed Autumn's number.


“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently switched off...”

The cold voice of the automated message was all that Kornel heard.

“Lacie, her phone is switched off!” Kornel said with a frown.

Realizing something was amiss, Lacie ordered, “Go see what's going on in there!”

Kornel's feminine mannerisms, combined with his cross-dressing as a staff at the hotel, allowed him to enter the hotel freely.

He came out of the hotel in less than ten minutes and said with a frown, “The journalist has gone missing, Lacie! What should we do?”

“Find out where she lives! We'll go check and see if she's home!” Lacie replied through clenched teeth.

I put in a lot of effort to make this plan work! We most likely won't have another shot if Marilyn catches on!

Kornel decided to call up a private detective for help. About thirty minutes later, the private detective sent him a text message containing Autumn's home address.

Without wasting another second, Lacie floored the accelerator and drove straight to the condominium Autumn was staying in.

Instead of going to Autumn's condominium unit, the two decided to wait outside the front gate instead.

After putting on Marilyn's clothes and disguising herself, Autumn had left Grandeur Hotel and gone straight home.

Her emotions were a mess as she watched the video she had secretly recorded from inside the closet.
