Chapter 57: A Birthday Present
"Hello, Mr. Kokuva, Ms. Kokuva, I'm Carolina's agent, Carson. Carson smiled and shook hands with the tall Eastern European man.
"Hello. Carolina's dad smiled and shook his hand.
"Mom, how did you come to America? It's so ......" Although she calmed down a little, Carolina was still dancing with excitement.
"Oh, dear. Carolina's mother smiled and straightened the ends of her hair, "Didn't you have someone bring us from the Czech Republic to celebrate your birthday?"
"Me?" Carolina pointed at herself in surprise, then looked at her agent.
"Not me. Carson spread his hands and shook his head.
"What's going on ......?" Carolina was even more strange at this time, although she is known as the rising star of the modeling industry, and her parents in her hometown in the Czech Republic are also a local middle-class family, but it is still too expensive for them to afford international air tickets to and from North America, which is why she did not think about inviting her parents to her 18th birthday in the first place.
"The American who came to our house to contact us said that you asked your friend Leon to pick us up. Carolina's dad said suddenly.
"Leon?" Carson looked at Carolina strangely, "Do you have any friends named Leon?" ”
Carolina seemed to think of something, "Could it be him!?" Carolina covered her mouth in disbelief, and her big eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
The thought of Sid and the misunderstanding she had at the end of the day made Carolina's heart tremble.
"Do you know who it is? Carolina. Carson asked curiously.
"No, no. Carolina immediately shook her head, and then she said preoccupiedly, "Well, I'll go to the bathroom." So saying, she ran away and seemed to have to leave.

"So, have you found out?" Sid asked lightly.
"Yes, Mr. Leon. The private investigator nodded, handing over a large brown paper envelope.
Sid took it and looked at it, and the other party said, "According to our follow-up investigation, Andrew McCormack was not the first person to recommend Carolina, or rather, he just wanted to find a model, and someone else specifically recommended Carolina to him." ”
"Oh——, who's that?" Sid asked, flipping through the photos he had taken of Andrew McCormack.
"It's an executive at DNA. The private investigator replied.
"DNA?, the modeling agency?" Sid frowned, he flipped through the DNA executive on the candid photo, he obviously didn't know the other party, "I don't know those people, they came to pit me, do idle eggs hurt?"
"Hehe, Mr. Leon, if it were a normal private investigator, you would only be able to find it here, but fortunately you hired me. The private investigator smiled and pulled out a second bag of papers from his bag.
"OK, now you're starting to surprise me. Sid smiled faintly, usually only he plays with people, and rarely someone can give him a "surprise".
Then Sid opened the file bag and pulled out the photo, which showed an "old acquaintance", "Oh coo, Leslie Wexney! ”
Sid smiled hideously, and the photo showed the former Victoria's Secret boss Leslie Wexney in the "disguise" of sunglasses, and he immediately looked at the private investigator and asked, "What's going on?"
"We followed the DNA executive for a few days and found out that he and Wexner had met privately at a small coffee shop, and we heard their conversation over a collector. The private investigator recounted what had happened, and then he pushed over a small cassette player.
Then he pressed it, and a voice played inside, one was a middle-aged man Sid hadn't heard of, presumably the same DNA executive, and the other was a familiar old man's voice.
"How's things going?" asked Wexnay's hoarse voice, clearly not having a good time lately.
"Not so good. The middle-aged DNA executive said, "Sid Leon let the model into the room, but he didn't do anything!"
"How do you know he didn't do anything?" asked Wexnay, a little excited.
"I put a bug in that model's bag, do you know what they're doing all night? Playing Monopoly!?" the DNA executive was visibly speechless, "I'm really starting to wonder if Sid Leon's guy is Gay!"
Hearing this, the private detective opposite Sid also showed a ridiculous expression, but he didn't dare to laugh because Sid himself was in front of him.
Even Sid pursed his lips speechlessly, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw the private detective's gaze, "Hey, I have several girlfriends." ”
"Yes, yes, I believe. The private investigator covered his mouth and nodded, he didn't want to offend a big client like Sid.
Behind the tape, there are pointless whining and complaining, meaningless.
"So, that's all?" Sid asked, turning off the tape.
"So far, Mr. Leon. The private investigator nodded, "Shoving 17-year-old Carolina to you seems to be a conspiracy between Wexner and the DNA executive, and while they didn't succeed, we think you should step up your security measures to prevent this unnecessary thing from happening here." ”
"What do you think? Sid turned to look at Rem, the captain of the bodyguards, who had been standing to the side, silent.
"I think so. Rem nodded briefly, "And......" Rem paused, "There are some things that can be left untouched, or not touched." ”
"Hehe, Rem, I'm not stupid enough to give anyone a handle. Sid laughed, "Don't worry, I won't touch any of them." ”
"Then I don't have much to say. Rem shrugged.
"So, Mr. Leon. The private investigator began, "What about Wexner and that DNA executive?"
"Well," Sid thought as he touched his chin, "it's not good to just leave it alone, it's always a hidden danger, huh...... Well, get back the tape that recorded me and Carolina that night, and don't leave anything behind. ”
"Okay. The private investigator nodded.
"Well, since that idiot is so nosy, he should be taught a lesson, but that's up to me. In addition, Wei Xunai, this old guy, I originally wanted to save some face for him, so that he can retire a little more, since he is so combative, then be prepared to bear the consequences. ”
