Mrs. Sutton's nights after her daughter's death were filled with nightmares.
The only one in the Sutton family that Mrs. Sutton could think of sacrificing had been her daughter, but that did not mean that she was not sad.
Once they entered the room, Elliot said, "I don't have your daughter's belongings. I needed to talk to you alone because I want to know who killed your daughter. If you only forced her into marriage, I'm sure she would not have felt the need to die. I'm sure there must be some other reason."
"Mr. Foster, do you think I, as a housewife, would know anything? We're an extremely ordinary family by Ylorean standards. We had been doing fine as a family of five, and then, this happened. We were initially doing alright as a family of five, yet this happened. Mr. Foster, you can't imagine how much pain I am in."
"You're not the only family in pain. You just need to tell me who is behind it!"
"Are you going to give them hell once you know who it is? Do you think my family will escape unharmed if you do that? Mr. Foster, how can you be so naive?" Mrs. Sutton took a deep breath and continued, "I don't know anything. I truly don't know anything."
"According to the information I got, Juliet bought Ivy years ago. Do you think I'll allow your family to escape just because your daughter is dead? You're afraid of the Ylore forces retaliating, but aren't you afraid of my retaliation? You might not know me well enough, but you can ask around," Elliot said. "You either return my daughter to me, or you tell me the person who killed your daughter! Do you think you can get away with this? Dream on!"
Mrs. Sutton realized the gravity of the situation. Her face instantly paled.
"Mr. Foster, firstly, I didn't know that my daughter had bought your daughter. I only knew that she liked Paul, and after his death, she was heartbroken, so she decided to enroll in a college in Aryadelle. I secretly gave her some money for her education, hoping that she would overcome her grief. Apart from that, I know nothing," said Mrs. Sutton gravely.
"Okay, let's pretend that you really don't know a thing about this! But surely you know who your daughter's killer is," said Elliot, pressing her.
Mrs. Sutton shook her head. "Someone has met with my husband, but he did not tell me who. After the meeting, he told me that our family was in trouble and that we had to get Juliet back to marry her off. Juliet truly killed herself because she was forced into a marriage she wanted no part in. She had tried killing herself once before because of Paul. Mr. Foster, I have already told you what I know. My daughter is dead. Our family is already being punished…"
"Can you give me your daughter's phone? I want to continue looking for my daughter."
