Elijah nodded slightly and said, "I understand Mr. Simpson's meaning." Elijah fell into a brief silence, then recalled and mentioned several locations around Hance City, some farther away and others closer. Elijah said, "These are all major addresses because they were all people of the old Simpson. After the old Simpson left, their connection was cut off, so I don't know the specific contact information."
"Alright, I understand," Ayan continued, "Do you know about the Armstrong family? Do you know the relationship between the Armstrong family couple?"
Elijah hesitated for a moment, his eyes showing a faint hesitation. Before he could speak, Ayan asked again, "I want to know why they sent Camille to Flento City to be cared for by a grandmother who has no blood relation. Whose idea was this?"
Upon hearing the name Camille, Elijah understood that everything was related to her.
His earlier speculations seemed plausible, considering Ayan's relationship with Camille, even if it was a political alliance. Elijah thought this as he looked at Ayan, who did so much for Camille; it was probably a case of affection growing over time.
Elijah thought so, and his expression became more natural than before. This change did not escape Ayan's notice.
However, Ayan did not directly point out Elijah's anomaly. He looked at him with a faint gaze and said, "I just want to know about Camille. As for other things, I won't inquire, and I won't trouble you. Your relationship with the Armstrong family doesn't matter to me at all. So, you only need to answer my questions."
Ayan's words made Elijah lose his reservations. Elijah said, "I don't know much about the Armstrong family. As for why Camille was sent to Flento City to be cared for by a non-blood-related grandmother, it was because Mrs. Armstrong found it troublesome. But she didn't want to upset the old Simpson, so they came up with this solution. I remember the old Simpson was a hundred percent against it at the time, but Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong insisted, and in the end, there was no other choice."
"Is that all?" Ayan asked somewhat incredulously.
Elijah nodded and said, "Indeed, that's all I know. So, I'm not very sure about the truth of the matter. If you want to know, instead of asking me, it's more practical to ask Mr. Armstrong directly."
Ayan glanced at Elijah indifferently, not paying attention to his last sentence. However, Ayan had obtained enough information from Elijah. Elijah knew all that needed to be known. Ayan gave Elijah a brief look and said, "After verifying what you said, I will have my assistant come to take you out of here. However, once you leave this place, you can only stay in Hance City."
Elijah nodded to show his understanding and watched as Ayan left.
Once out of prison, Ayan immediately ordered an investigation into what Elijah had just said. Although there were no specific contact details and addresses, after a large-scale search, they found elderly people who had worked for the Armstrong family and had been with the old Armstrong for many years.
Ayan's people conveyed their intentions clearly, but the other party was very cautious. It was evident that the old Armstrong had given specific instructions while he was still around, making it challenging to get any information.
This also meant that Ayan's speculation was correct; there was indeed something the Armstrong family was keeping from Camille and the Simpson family.
As for whether the old Armstrong has talked to the old Simpson, it's still unknown because the old Simpson is currently in the hospital. Ayan can't push too hard, so for now, he can only gather information from people around those old folks.
Ayan has been busy with this matter these past two days.
