Chapter 979 Keaton is Missing

Breanna was the perfect cat's paw to Mrs. Williams. She had been planning to use Breanna, but hadn't shown her cards until now. Breanna had no idea why Mrs. Williams valued her so much and thought she had caught Mrs. Williams' eye, feeling pleased with herself.

Meanwhile, Jenna was facing a big problem. She received a call from the school counselor saying that Keaton had gone missing and hadn't shown up at school for several days.

"Keaton's missing? How is that possible?" Jenna couldn't believe what she was hearing and felt like she might collapse any moment.

"We thought he just skipped class at first, but no one has seen him around campus lately - not his roommates nor his professors. According to school rules, if Keaton doesn't show up again, then we'll have to order him to quit school." said the counselor with some disdain in his eyes as he considered students like Keaton hopeless cases.

Apart from the beginning of the semester when Keaton attended classes regularly, he skipped classes almost every day afterward, nobody knew why he bothered coming to school in the first place. Jenna's face turned pale. She felt angry and wanted to beat him up for causing trouble, but right now it was more important to figure out how to handle things with the school.

"Can you give him another chance? There must be a reason why my brother hasn't come back yet," pleaded Jenna anxiously while biting her lip.

Although Keaton could be mischievous sometimes, overall, he wasn't capable of doing anything too outrageous or disappearing without contacting anyone for such an extended period of time.

"I understand your concern about your brother's safety or well-being; however, rules are rules here at this institution," replied the counselor sympathetically after glancing at Jenna who looked worried sickly. He wouldn't have called her unless there were no other options available to solve this issue.

"I understand. I will do my best to replace out what happened and bring Keaton back as soon as possible," Jenna said, feeling powerless for the first time. She didn't even know where Keaton had gone. "Well then, please bring him back as soon as you can," the counselor nodded after hearing Jenna's words.

As soon as she left the counselor's office, Jenna felt overwhelmed. She had no idea where Keaton could be. The only people she could think of were his friends.

Jenna found Keaton's friends based on her memory but their nonchalant response made her uneasy. "He said he was going to make big money and went to Calelow Mountain," one of them shrugged, seemingly unconcerned about the situation.

"Calelow Mountain?" Jenna furrowed her brows upon hearing this location. If she remembered correctly from a news report, there were many pyramid schemes in that area.

Why would Keaton go there?

"He said there was a chance to make big money and wanted me to come along too but I'm not interested in that kind of thing," his friend continued before looking at Jenna and saying, "If you want to replace him there, better hurry."

Jenna started feeling anxious upon hearing this news; she never expected such information. If Keaton was really at Calelow Mountain, it was highly likely he got involved in a pyramid scheme. Should she go check it out?

Jenna didn't tell anyone from the Williams family about this incident because it wouldn't benefit her if Mrs. Williams or Rhys knew about it; they would only use it against her later on.

Mrs. Williams' dissatisfaction and disgust had become increasingly apparent lately.

Thinking about this, Jenna tightly clenched her fists and quickly came up with a plan.

She couldn't tell anyone in the Williams family about this, and she needed to handle it quickly.

She couldn't guarantee what the Williams family would do if they found out.

Jenna casually told Rhys that she wanted to go to Calelow Mountain for a trip. Since they had already cleared up their previous misunderstanding, Rhys didn't suspect anything and let Jenna go on her own. Before arriving at Calelow Mountain, Jenna had thoroughly investigated all of the locations where pyramid schemes were reported in the area. She remembered them all and as soon as she arrived at Calelow Mountain, she stayed at a small hotel under the guise of tourism.

The hotel was close to where Jenna wanted to investigate, so as soon as she put down her things, she went straight to the landlady for information.

"Ma'am, this is my first time here. Are there any places I should be aware of?"

Jenna looked cute and innocent which made it easy for her to get information from the landlady without raising suspicion.

"Calelow Mountain is just for leisure activities like farm stays. There's nothing much you need to be aware of except for TY Resort on top of the mountain. Don't go there." The landlady said mysteriously with an unclear tone. As soon as Jenna heard this, everything clicked into place - TY Resort was one of several pyramid scheme locations that Jenna suspected before, but wasn't sure about until now with confirmation from what was said by the landlady.

"Ah I see! Thank you so much for letting me know! Could you recommend any other places I can visit?" Jenna smiled sweetly while handing over a hundred-dollar bill making herself look like any other tourist.

The landlady didn't have any suspicions towards Jenna whatsoever.

"There are plenty of places you can visit! If you don't mind hiking, then maybe try climbing up Calelow Mountain!"
