The old woman saw Irene crying. She could not bear to watch."Then, eat up first. After your meal, I'll take you around the neighborhood to walk. Irene. It is a thousand times better here. You will surely like living in the city," the old woman said. "Rose is lucky, too! She has been adopted by Avery Tate. She won't have to worry in the future.""Grandma, didn't you say that Aunt Avery is a bad person? Since she is a bad person, why do you say that Rose will have a good life?""A bad person might not treat everyone badly. She might treat Rose well.""Then how do you know that she will treat Rose well? What if she bullies Rose? Unless she isn't as bad as you say," Irene said logically.Ever since leaving the chapel, she had been thinking about Avery and Rose.The Avery Tate she had met was such a gentle person. She did not look like a bad person. A person's eyes, tone, and impression that they had left on another person would not lie.Of course, Irene was still young. She could n

When Elliot saw Avery's stunned expression, he strode over to her and asked, "Was that Rose's grandma?""Hmm… She asked about Rose. I asked her to meet me, but she rejected me." Avery was a little disappointed. "She said that she is taking Irene far away. I'm guessing that Rose and Irene won't be able to see each other anymore.""You didn't ask her where she will be going?""She didn't give me a chance to ask. She only asked us not to look for her." Avery looked at the phone number on her screen. "This number is from the neighboring city. It's not far. I wonder if she's taking Irene to a farther place.""Don't you think that it feels like they are avoiding something?" Elliot mused. "When you took Rose away, she immediately took Irene and left. She left in such a hurry. She and Irene have been living up on the hill this whole time. I doubt they have family down the hill. If they have a family, why would she take such a small child to live up on the hill?""Elliot, we don't know any

"This is your mother," Madam said. "Doesn't she look pretty?"Irene looked at the photo in a daze."Is this really my mother? She's gorgeous!""Yes, she is indeed gorgeous. Not only was she gorgeous, but she also had a sweet voice. She was so attractive, she had men in her grips."Madam sounded a little jealous when she said that. "What's enviable is that she comes from a rich family."Irene asked, "Is she dead?" She remembered that the old woman had told her that all her family was dead."Yes, she is dead. Only you survived in your entire family." Madam tucked her phone away. "Irene, the person who killed your entire family would surely want to kill you, too. So, if you were to run about everywhere, the only outcome would be your death."Grandma said that it's Aunt Avery…" Irene did not believe that Avery could be such a terrifying person."Not necessarily. I'm still investigating it. But, I think that it's most likely her," Madam said. "There are many things I say to you rig

After Elliot put his phone down, he found that he had completely lost his need to sleep.He placed his phone by the nightstand and made to alight from the bed to go wash up.He slowly rose. He had just worn his slippers when Avery turned around and opened her eyes."Darling, what are you doing? What time is it now?" Avery asked groggily in a hoarse voice."It's still early. Only a little after five. Go back to sleep. I'm going to the toilet.""Darling, don't tell me you didn't sleep at all last night. I dreamed that you kept flip-flopping around." Avery rubbed her eyes. Seeing how dim it was, she said, "Turn on the lights. I don't feel like sleeping anymore."Elliot obeyed and turned on the room lights.If things were as usual, he would surely have let Avery continue sleeping. However, at that moment, he was a little excited. He believed that Avery would feel the same way."Avery, the people that I sent have already found where the grandma stays."Avery's eyes instantly opened

"Do you need to give an answer to your boss? It's not that I'm not willing to cooperate with you, but Irene is having a fever. If you guys were to stay here, she'd be afraid… Isn't there a DNA test that can check the relationship between a parent and a child? Why don't you take a few strands of her hair and let your boss do a test with it?" the old woman suggested."Hairs are very troublesome! It seems like it needs to be the kind that has the root for it to work. If we don't pluck it right, then wouldn't it be a waste of effort? It's safer to just draw some blood!" said the bodyguard.Once the old woman heard that he wanted to draw some blood, her expression immediately darkened. "Irene is sick, so she's weaker. Also, she's very afraid of pain. She fears getting injections the most. If you were to draw her blood, she certainly would cry."Before she had even finished her sentence, the little girl on the bed burst into tears. "I don't want to get an injection… Grandma, I don't want
