Other than the two of them, there was nobody else in the villa. Hence, she did not even need to ask in order to know the answer. She awkwardly stirred the porridge in her bowl and stuttered, “This porridge... is not bad.”

John raised his head to look at her and said in a gentle tone of voice, “In that case, please eat more. After you are done, | will send you to the magazine agency.”

Last night, she had vomited everything out, and because of that, she was feeling a little hungry. She ate a bowl of porridge with salted vegetables as well as drank half a cup of milk.

John saw that her appetite seemed good today and curled his lips upwards in satisfaction. After breakfast, she rejected John’s offer to send her to the magazine agency and decided to hail a cab herself. When she entered the office, she immediately saw Sam coming over. He mysteriously asked, “Where did you go yesterday?”

“| went home.” She took out her phone, only to realize that her phone was out of battery. Luckily, she always brought a power bank along with her.

Sam replied with an “Oh” and asked her about last night’s progress. She shrugged her shoulders and expressed that she did not manage to get any information out of him.

If it was not for John who came to rescue her, she would have landed in Julian’s hands and lost her innocence.

However, little did she know, it was Gabriel who had told someone to notify John. She even thought that it was John who had happened to see Julian and her together and, thus, brought her back to the villa.

Since they could not get any information from Julian, Serenity and Sam were at their wits’ end. She refilled her cup from the pantry, and Sam excitedly showed her the latest news report.

The latest headlines showed that Zephyr Group decided to construct a resort in Camdell, but it resulted in environmental pollution, which caused the nearby citizens to lodge many complaints. This had attracted the attention of the mayor, and Zander Hall decided to personally investigate it.

As such, Serenity and Sam immediately took their cameras and used the company car to drive to Camdell.

They drove for a good half an hour from the city center to Camdell and did not dare to slow down as they did not want to miss this golden opportunity.

The resort had already completed a third of its construction and was located in a peaceful area. Mountains and rivers surrounded it, making it a suitable place for a vacation.

As it was still under construction, random people were not allowed to enter. Both of them were thus blocked at the gate by the security officers.

As Serenity had no other choice, she called Gabriel behind Sam's back. At the same time, Gabriel was also at the resort and was accompanying Zander Hall to check on the nearby environment.

Initially, the construction of the resort was handled by another higher-up. However, now that such a thing had happened, as the boss of his company, Gabriel naturally could not wash his hands off this matter.

He answered the phone first before passing his phone to Caleb. Hence, when Serenity spoke, the phone was in Caleb’s hands.

Caleb took a look at Gabriel, who was walking with Zander Hall, and went to a remote area to answer the call. “Ms. Serenity?”

Serenity heard an unfamiliar voice and asked, “You are?”

“lam President Jones's assistant, Caleb. President Jones is very busy right now. If there’s anything, | can pass on the message for you.”

Upon hearing his words, Serenity also did not want to beat around the bush anymore. “Is he busy with the Camdell Resort’s incident? Is he at the resort right now?”

Caleb replied with a “Yes” and she continued asking, “Is Mayor Hall there too?” Caleb felt very confused as he did not know why she was asking about that, but he still honestly replied, “Yes.” “Since President Jones is busy, it’s fine if it’s you. | am outside the resort right now.”

Not long after she hung up the call, she saw a man dressed in his business attire walk out of the resort. The man walked toward her. “Ms. Serenity, | am Caleb.”

Sam was taking pictures of the nearby infrastructure and, upon seeing Serenity and an unfamiliar man talking, he immediately walked over.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

He had just walked over when he heard Serenity say, “We are here to find Mayor Hall. Please let us in..”
