Chapter 410
Walter did not waste any time diving into the report David had sent over.
‘Sunny Glow Beauty Salon‘
The name was catchy and easy to remember.
It looked like just another beauty salon, small and freshly opened.
Minnie was a sucker for beauty treatments, always fussing over her complexion, so her patronage was not odd on its own.
However, what did not add up was why Minnie, a woman who had traveled the world and pampered her skin, would choose that no–name spot for her facials. She could pluck any salon from the streets of Avalon City and it would outshine that place in fame, size, and service.
The moment Walter flipped to the first page, his instincts told him something was not right.

“We have a lead on Lydia, the one you’ve been searching for. Want the details now?”
The man on the other end was almost too chill about it, laughing as he spoke, which ticked Evangeline off.
“Snow Wolf, out the jokes. This is serious business to me.”
They were not exactly friends, but they were not strangers either. They had met during some intense drama, and though she had never actually seen him face to face, they stayed in touch through calls.
‘Snow Wolf‘ was a nickname, of course, and he was like a shadowy ace up Evangeline’s sleeve–her go–to guy for tracking and snooping.
