"Yes. If my guess is correct, after switching the child back then, Lisa brought her back to her old home and asked her mother to raise the child.
"She also wanted the child to be fed poison every day so that it would look like the child had died because of ill health."
Yale said, "No wonder Molly said that she never had enough to eat, but she would always be given a bottle of milk. By the looks of it, the poison was in the milk."
He gripped his fists tightly. "There was a flood back then. Her grandmother tricked her and told her to go back to the house and get some important documents.

A woman passing by spoke up, "Are you looking for Madam Todd? She left a long time ago."
"Ma'am, are you familiar with the Todd family?" Olivia didn't have any cash on her. She took off her pearl earrings and stuffed them into the woman's hands.

She immediately stuffed the earrings into her pocket. "Of course. We were neighbors for decades. I know tons of things about her family."
"Ma'am, has Madam Todd ever taken care of a little girl?"
"Oh, yes, that girl. She was a pitiful little girl. I heard that her mother worked as a maid for a rich lady in the city, and that's amazing.
"Every time she came back to the village, she wore expensive stuff. She looked like she had become a rich lady herself. She also looked down on the rest of us, whom she grew up with."
Olivia asked, "Were they nice to the little girl?"
"No way. Lisa's father passed away when she was young. Her mother brought her along when she got married to Mr. Wright.
"Mr. Wright was an old codger, and he would do those sorts of things to Lisa since she was young. Later on, Lisa went to the city to look for work.
"After she made a name for herself, she never cared about her parents.
