Once she was inside, Rosalie picked up the phone and said, "Hello, do you know Elliot Foster? I'm his mother."
"Hello, Madame Rosalie. May I know why you've contacted me?" The person on the other end of the line said.
"You have a student named Hayden Tate at your kindergarten, right?"
"Yes."
"The thing is, I need a few strands of his hair, and I was wondering if you can get me some. I will pay you, so just name your price," said Rosalie.
Confused, the other person asked, "Why do you want his hair? It's not that I don't want to help, but you probably don't know much
about that child. You see, he does not allow anyone to touch him. The only person who can touch him is his sister."
Rosalie had not predicted that something this simple would turn out to be so difficult.
"Think of something! If you can't get your hands on his hair, blood will also do!" she said. "I’ll be honest with you, that boy's mother was married to my son for a while... and I suspect that there's more to that boy than meets the eye. So, please do me this favor? If you get this done, I will reward you well."
Just then, the nanny noticed a figure outside the door and immediately stepped outside.
"Ms. Sanford, do you need anything?" The nanny's expression darkened as she stared at Zoe, but she refrained from being rude.
Zoe was eavesdropping and panicked. "Oh ... I just thought of returning the gift from Rosalie, since it seems too expensive."
"Please wait in the living room,” the nanny said.
Zoe immediately headed back to the living room.
Shortly after, Rosalie had finished the phone call. The nanny did not mention that Zoe was eavesdropping in order to avoid complications.
Zoe chatted with Rosalie for a while longer, before telling her that she had made plans to have lunch with her father and left.
She was troubled when she stepped outside the mansion.
