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 anything about their situation. This is only your speculation right now. I don't think Irene's grandma is avoiding us. Why would she avoid us? We won't do anything to her."
"My main point is not about the grandma but that girl," Elliot explained. "Combined with the dream I had last night, I really suspect that—"
"Hahaha!" Avery was amused by how serious he looked. "If that's how you feel, then you should go see what Irene looks like!"
"I intend to do so, which is why I'm telling you this." Elliot wanted to see Avery's reaction.
"Elliot, you could just send someone to do this. In fact, just by looking at Irene's photo, we could see if this child is our daughter or not."
"Hmm… Send me the number that called you just now. I'll get someone to investigate it." Elliot's motivation was increasing now that he had Avery's support.
In the evening, the driver sent Layla and Robert back home.
Robert fell asleep in the car once more. When the bodyguard carried him out of the car, he was still asleep.
