    Paige hurriedly drove to the vi she had bought for Peyton. That afternoon, she had called many


    people who were frequently in contact with Peyton. However, in the past half–month, Peyton had not


    been in touch with anyone


    “Slow down, no rush!” Rosalynn, after getting out of the car, saw Paige almost trip on the front steps.


    She quickly ran over to help.


    “Tm okay, I’m okay.” Paige wasn’t sure if she was speaking to Rosalynn or just reassuring herself. She


    ran to the front door, didn’t unlock it directly, but rang the doorbell for a while. However, no one came to


    open the door. Even if Peyton wasn’t home, there should be housekeepers, right? But there was no


    answer. Increasingly panicked, she used her fingerprint to unlock the door and entered the pitch–dark


    vi


    Paige switched on the light “Mom?” She walked into the house and called out, but there was no


    response. Then, she hastily checked every room in the vi, but Peyton was nowhere to be found.


    In the walk–in closet, Peyton’s clothes, favorite handbags, and suitcases were all still there. She clearly


    hadn’t gone far. Paige took a deep breath, pulled out her phone, and dialed Grant’s number. But,


    Grant’s phone kept ringing without any answer.


    Angrily, Paige hung up, then dialed a strange number. After a few rings, the person on the other end


    picked up. Before Paige could speak, the person on the line anxiously started, “Paige?”


    “Logan, has my mom contacted you recently?” Paige asked coldly, “Her friends haven’t been able to


    reach her for half a month, Grant isn’t answering my calls, can you confirm if my mom is with him?”


    Logan was taken aback. “He’s with me right now, your aunt isn’t here.”


    “Give him the phone!!” Paige demanded angrily.


    “He told me your mom wanted a divorce and she went back to you, didn’t shee to see you?”


    Logan asked solemnly.


    Paige’s mind went nk, her legs went weak, and she almost fell.


    “Careful.” Rosalynn caught her, took the phone from her hand, “Logan, tell Grant we’re reporting this to


    the police.”


    “Ms. Jared, what’s wrong with Paige?” Logan asked anxiously.


    “That’s not your concern, just pass the message to Grant. Rosalynn hung up, then helped Paige sit


    down.


    “Is my mom in trouble?” Paige grabbed Rosalynn’s hand, her eyes filled with fear.


    Rosalynn gently patted her hand: “First, let’s call the police.”


    “Okay!” Paige nodded chokingly, then called the police.


    Not long after reporting to the police, Baillie rushed to the police station.


    “Baillie…” Paige’s eyes welled up with tears when she saw Baillie


    “I know everything. Baillie squatted down, grabbing her hand, “Don’t be scared, maybe she’s just upset


    and hiding somewhere.”


    Paige knew this was impossible.


    Peyton had no ability to live on her own, and she was timid…


    But it seemed to be her only hope.
