Isaac had been calling and sending Juliet messages for the past two days, but she had not replied.
Could Juliet have told Avery and Elliot?
If she had not, even if Elliot had known about the scars on Juliet's wrist, he would not have brought them up.
"You don't need to know how I guessed it," Elliot said. "Why is Natalie looking for someone with scars on their wrists? Do you really not know anything about it?"
"Mr. Foster, I am not close with Natalie. I really do not know what she is trying to achieve." Isaac immediately distanced himself from Natalie. "Go and question Natalie. I’m sure she will tell you. If she really was not afraid of death as you say, she would not have hidden herself away, not daring to leave the house at all."
"Isaac, from tomorrow onward, you don't have to come to work," Elliot said. "Until I find Natalie and get to the bottom of this, you will stay at home. If you try to run, well… you'll see what happens."
Isaac was astounded that he had been fired. He sat in the chair stiffly without saying a word. His eyes were dazed as if he had just been struck.
Elliot got up and decided he would go look for Natalie.
Natalie wanted to find the person with scars on their wrist. That person had to be Juliet!
Natalie would not have looked for Juliet without a reason, so Juliet must have had secrets that no one else knew about.
Elliot felt that this incident might have something to do with her. When Juliet had handed her resume to his company, she had been aiming for him.
It was a pity that he could not contact Juliet at all right now. If he could, he would have been able to uncover all her secrets simply by asking her directly.
Elliot exited the restaurant and got into the car.
