My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1357

There were six outlets in Bayside City selling Dragon Eye phones. The outlet at Third Avenue was one of them, and business was booming when Linus and Sophia arrived on-site. They traced the coordinates and matched it to a girl looking at mobile phones under the enthusiastic guidance of a salesperson.

The latest Dragon Eye mobile phone was launched globally only a few days ago. It was also simultaneously launched in Cethos. As a result, the new product was being sold in the store, and that girl was looking at the new product.

Linus and Sophia stood outside the outlet and observed the girl through the window. When the girl turned around, that familiar face that looked like a monkey’s butt came into view. It was Tawny Bishop! It wasn’t strange for Christine’s phone to be in Tawny’s hands. After all, Christine could have replaced her old phone with a newer model and handed her old phone over to Tawny.

However, Sophia was keenly aware of the difference in Tawny’s appearance. Tawny had the same monkey’s butt makeup as usual—what with her extremely exaggerated blush and eyeshadow—but the quality of her makeup products was obviously much better than before. Moreover, she was carrying seven or eight shopping bags in her hand. Looking at the logos printed on the shopping bags, they looked to be branded luxury products. Although they were not considered top-of-the-line luxury products, they amounted to several hundreds of millions worth of clothes, bags, and shoes.

Furthermore, the handbag she was carrying was the latest product by JNS Group. It was a genuine product with a market value of over 60,000. The ring she was wearing on her finger was also worth several tens of thousands. Just then, she seemed to have chosen the new mobile phone she wanted. Reaching into her bag, she took out two other phones to pay for her purchase. Among the two phones she took out, one probably belonged to Christine. The other phone was the latest Serpent mobile phone model, which was worth over 10,000.

The Bishop Family just lost their son recently. Despite causing a ruckus, they have yet to receive a single penny as compensation. Moreover, so many things occurred back in their hometown. Where did Tawny receive so much money for her to spend so lavishly? When Sophia saw that Tawny had picked out one of the latest Dragon Eye models and was preparing to pay for it, she hurriedly made a phone call.

Inside the shop, Tawny pretentiously took out a lipstick worth several thousand and touched up her makeup while scanning the QR code to pay for her new phone. All of a sudden, the cashier congenially said, “Miss, we are having a special event to trade in older Dragon Eye models. If you have an older Dragon Eye model with you, you can convert it into an instant cash rebate.”

Tawny glanced at the Dragon Eye phone in her hand. It was the model that was launched during New Year’s and was no longer in fashion. Therefore, she traded it in for a rebate of 1,800. After backing up the existing data, she took her new phone and left in satisfaction.

Soon, Linus obtained that phone and recovered the data in it through technical means. Using the history log within the phone, he logged into Christine’s Messenger account and found something fishy going on. On the day of the incident, one hour before the incident occurred, Tawny made a call to Christine. It lasted no longer than a minute. Afterward, Tawny sent a location to Christine via Messenger—it was the Champs-Elysee Hotel!

Tawny was the one who called Christine out to the hotel! Sophia felt her heart pounding violently in her chest. As I suspected, Tawny is involved in this!

However, there was no other clue aside from that. Recalling Tawny’s unusual spending power, she immediately made another phone call to investigate the purchase records of Tawny’s credit cards recently. Then, she discovered that Tawny had been spending a lot of money in Bayside City over the past two days. How did she get so much money suddenly? Moreover, she only started spending wildly after what happened to Christine. Something is definitely up!

Following that, she found somebody to check the credited transactions into the accounts under Tawny’s name recently. As expected, she found an unidentified transfer of 200,000 from an account of unknown origins. A check on the account number revealed that it was an overseas account. The transfer was done very secretively, flowing through dozens of accounts before ending up in Tawny’s account. Now that I’ve found the root, I’ll have to try my best to dig deeper.

When Linus saw Sophia putting in so much effort, he decided to personally help in her investigation. In less than half a day, he discovered the original source of that money—it came from the assistant of Bethany Nicole, a rising celebrity! Sophia felt a headache coming on upon learning that Bethany was behind this.
