Chapter 1030
Baillie worried that seeing the old house again would only make her more upset
When Paige got home, she just mumbled a few greetings, then retreated to her room
Rosalynn glanced at Baillie
Baillie gave a small shake of her head and then followed Paige upstairs
“Man, who would’ve thought Peyton would kick the bucket like this?” Hilaria shook her head, full of regret
She wasn’t exactly a fan of Peyton, mainly because of how Peyton treated Paige.
But still, it didn’t warrant this fate
“Do you think Paige might be overthinking Grant’s whereabouts that day…nothing out of the ordinary, really. He
was just at the villa he bought for his mistress, didn’t leave the place at all. Jaime said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe reservoir where Peyton’s body was discovered was located in a remote and secluded area. The surveillance
equipment in the vicinity had long ceased to function due to its age. Several roads led to the reservoir, none of
which were under surveillance.
Rosalynn tumed to Jaime, seeking his perspective. “You had a couple of encounters with Peyton. Do you think she
would have taken her own life?”
Jaime pondered for a moment, then honestly shook his head.
“Plus, that day she not only reached out to Paige, she also contacted a divorce lawyer. If she didn’t want a divorce,
why would she seek a divorce lawyer? She should’ve sought a relationship counselor!” Rosalynn continued.
As Paige saw Grant at the police station, a shiver ran down her spine. His tears, sorrow, and anxiety felt incredibly
fake to her. There were moments when she even caught glimpses of a suppressed smile on his face.
“Hit really was him, he’s incredibly audacious,” Wayne commented coldly. “I had someone investigate. His ex–wife’s
death was also highly suspicious. Her family still believes that Grant was responsible for her demise.”
“Really? Hilaria furrowed her eyebrows. Then why didn’t they report it to the police?”
“They did,” Wayne replied. “But by the time they did, the body had already been cremated, leaving no evidence.
Furthermore, the ex–wife’s immediate family had already passed away, and Grant swiftly resolved the inheritance
matters.”
“In other words, Grant was a nobody. However, after his wife’s death and the demise of her family, he inherited her
father’s wealth and company, which propelled his own business, Rosalynn summarized concisely.
“Peyton had a daughter, and she should have been more cautious before marrying and gotten to know him better,”
Hilaria expressed, still shocked by the revelations.
Rosalynn shook her head. “Let’s not judge the deceased. The most crucial thing now is to find the real culprit and
ensure they don’t escape justice.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpstairs in Paige’s room, she was curled up under the blanket. Baillie gently held her and said, “Sweetie, you
haven’t eaten in a while. Do you want something to eat?”
Paige shook her head, her voice hollow, “I can’t eat, Baillie. You don’t have to stay with me, I won’t do anything
stupid.”
Baillie wanted to say something.
But Paige spoke again, “Really, just leave me alone for a bit.”
Baillie clamped her mouth shut, then kissed her on the cheek, I’ll be downstairs.”
“Mmhm.”
Baillie stood up, glanced back at her from the doorway, his eyes filled with deep pity and intense anger.
Just as he was about to head downstairs, his phone went off.
He quickly took it out
It was a message from Granny Owens
After reading it, Baillie immediately dialed her number.
