Meanwhile, after getting a tip from Autumn Sawyer, Kevin Kent’s daughter, Serena Kent, rushed to find Kylie Walsh.
Serena Kent had met Kylie Walsh at a card game.
Although the Walsh Family had been going through a rough patch lately, suffering frequent business setbacks, the old saying goes: a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Even in their decline, the Walsh Family was leagues above a nouveau riche family like the Kents. Serena Kent was eager to curry favor with Kylie Walsh and had always been incredibly sycophantic toward her.
Kylie Walsh, on the other hand, had recently had a falling out with her family, and with Zara Walsh now in prison, she had no one to talk to. Since Serena Kent had taken the initiative to get close and was so intent on pleasing her, Kylie didn’t turn her away. Before long, the two had become friends.
Serena Kent tearfully told Kylie Walsh what had happened tonight, hoping she could help.
Serena Kent said urgently, "Kylie, please, you have to help me. Save my father!"
Kylie Walsh looked shocked. She stared at Serena Kent and asked for confirmation again, "...Is what you’re saying true? That Lucy White... she really worked as a prostitute at the Crestview Hotel?!"
Serena Kent nodded repeatedly, her tone certain. "It’s the absolute truth! Her working name at the Crestview Hotel was ’Louise.’ She was one of their top girls; a lot of men have slept with her! If you just investigate the men who’ve been with her, they can all come forward and testify!"
Kylie Walsh was stunned. She muttered, "How could... How could this be..."
She had always assumed Lucy White was just like Joanne White—a gold digger from an ordinary background, trying to use her young, beautiful body to land a rich man. But she never would have imagined that Lucy White was an actual prostitute!
This was too ridiculous!
The Simmons Family was actually letting a prostitute stay in their home?!
If word of this got out, wouldn’t they become a laughingstock!
With tears in her eyes, Serena Kent grabbed Kylie Walsh’s hand and said, "My father saw that Lucy White and thought she was back to her old trade, plying her business here at the Nimbus Hotel. That’s why he went to talk to her! He really didn’t do it on purpose!"
"Kylie, my father would never harass a decent woman. He’s very respectful of women, he’s a good man! This is all just a misunderstanding! ...The hotel security has already taken my father away. Please, I’m begging you, you have to help me!"
Serena Kent had heard that to prevent guests from causing trouble and disturbing the peace during the blizzard, the hotel had prepared several empty rooms on the fifth floor—"cells" authorized by the police for temporarily detaining troublemakers.
The layout was similar to a prison, designed to hold troublemakers until things outside returned to normal, at which point they would be handed over to the police.
The conditions inside were terrible. The heating was the only thing that worked properly. Other than that, the three meals a day consisted of nothing but sand vine cakes, with only an occasional bowl of thin porridge!
Serena Kent was terrified that her father would be locked up in a place like that!
At that thought, Serena Kent looked at Kylie Walsh with pleading eyes and sobbed, "Kylie, please, save my father. It’s all that prostitute’s fault..."
Kylie Walsh gave the tear-streaked Serena Kent a thoughtful look. After a moment of contemplation, she nodded and replied, "Don’t worry. If this Lucy White is a prostitute... then I will definitely expose her true colors and plead your father’s case!"
It wasn’t that Kylie Walsh actually cared about Kevin Kent; she just found it disgusting that Lucy White was staying by Zane Simmons’s side!
Joanne White had already been kicked out, so what right did this Lucy White have to remain with the Simmons Family?
Her own niece, Zara Walsh, was suffering in prison right now. By what right could Lucy White stay with the Simmons Family?
At this thought, a deep sense of resentment flashed in Kylie Walsh’s eyes.
She decided to go find her cousin, Paige Walsh, at once and expose Lucy White’s true colors!
Kylie Walsh was certain that if Paige Walsh knew a prostitute was hanging around her son, she would definitely kick Lucy White out!
