Chapter 1870
Ellinor’s eyes shed with hope. It seemed as if thedy had remembered something, causing Ellinor’s
eyes to focus sharply. “What? What have you remembered?”
“I remember now. That girl named Megan used to always shamelessly throw herself at my husband.
Being the gentleman that he is, he never paid her any mind. But she was always hanging around our
sous chef named John. She was always asking him to do this and that for her. Not long after I fired her,
our sous chef quit suddenly. I think there might be a connection.”
Ellinor saw a glimmer of hope and clutched the owner’s hand tightly. “Do you perhaps have a picture of
this employee that I could see?”
Thedy owner thought for a moment. “Yes, I do. Last month, he was still working here. For our shop’s
third anniversary, we took a group photo. Honey, you must have posted that photo on your Facebook,
right? Quickly show it to thisdy.”
Upon hearing his wife’smand, the diner owner quickly pulled out his phone, opened his Facebook
app, and found the photo.
“Here it is. The employee on the far right of the photo.”
Upon seeing the photo, Ellinor’s heart tightened. She recognized the face. He was the middle-aged
balloon seller who had been frequently seen around her children recently. It was indeed him.

Ellinor requested the owner’s help again. “Could you please try to contact him? It would be great if we
could arrange a meeting.”
Seeing Ellinor’s urgency, thedy owner was more than willing to help. “Of course! I’ll try to reach him.
When he left in a rush, he didn’t even collect hisst month’s wages yet.”
Ellinor nodded. “You can call him now and tell him that you want to settle his wages. Don’t mention
anything about us yet.”
Understanding Ellinor’s intentions, thedy owner took out her phone and dialed the former employee’s
number.
After a quiet conversation, she hung up and turned to Ellinor. “I’ve spoken to him. He says he’s out of
the city and can’te back just yet. He’lle here tomorrow afternoon to collect his wages.”
Ellinor quickly asked, “Did he mention where he is?”
Thedy owner shook her head. “The signal seemed pretty bad on his end. He hung up before he
could tell me.”
Ellinor frowned. “Okay. Thank you for your help. Could you please give me his number?”
Thedy owner showed Ellinor the number stored in her phone.
Ellinor had a fantastic memory, especially for numbers, so she quickly memorized it. “Thank you! I will
arrange for someone toe andpensate you for the damages to your diner tomorrow. We have
to leave now; I’m sorry.”
Without waiting for a response, she turned to Theo. “Let’s go!”
Theo knew what she was nning to do and immediately followed her to the car without saying a word.
Balfour and Byran exchanged a nce before following them to the car.
In the car, Ellinor, who was seated in the passenger seat, was already using herptop to track down
the location of the former employee from the diner.
Theo just started the car and drove at a steady speed, waiting for her to give the word to speed up.
A minuteter.
“He’s on Barren Mountain in the suburbs!” Ellinor frantically said.
No ordinary person would be in such a deste ce at this time. They must have hidden Baber there.
