Elliot saw Jane crying, and he pitied her.
"If you're not lying, you don't have to be afraid. I won't do anything to the innocent."
Jane said, "I'm not lying…"
Elliot turned around and walked toward the door. He opened the door. Jane's parents were standing by the door with anxious expressions.
"Walter, it's your turn." Elliot looked at Walter coldly.
According to Mrs. Sutton's and Jane's statements, they did not know where Ivy was.
Since he could not locate Ivy, he had to find Juliet's killer.
Walter sighed. "Let's go to the living area and talk! I have nothing to hide from my wife and daughter."
"You two go and talk! I'll stay with Jane for a while." Jane's face, streaked with tears, broke Mrs. Sutton's heart. She entered Jane's room.
Elliot and Walter headed to the sofa and sat down in the living room. The servant served them tea and left.
"Mr. Foster, you have spent nearly the entire day here, and I'm guessing that you won't leave till you get something out of me," Walter said. "I can guarantee you that we're being wrongly accused. My daughter just told me of Juliet purchasing your daughter. This is news to me, and if I had found out about this earlier, I would have forced her to return your daughter to you! Not because I care about the reward, but I don't want to offend you."
Elliot listened to Walter speak.
