Baillie worried that seeing the old house again would only make her more upset.
When Paige got home, she just mumbled a few greetings, then retreated to her room.
Rosalynn glanced at Baillie.
Baillie gave a small shake of her head and then followed Paige upstairs.
"Man, who would've thought Peyton would kick the bucket like this?" Hilaria shook her head, full of regret.
She wasn't exactly a fan of Peyton, mainly because of how Peyton treated Paige.
But still, it didn't warrant this fate.
"Do you think Paige might be overthinking Grant's whereabouts that day...nothing out of the ordinary, really. He was just at the villa he bought for his mistress, didn't leave the place at all." Jaime said.
The reservoir where Peyton's body was discovered was located in a remote and secluded area. The surveillance equipment in the vicinity had long ceased to function due to its age. Several roads led to the reservoir, none of which were under surveillance.
Rosalynn turned to Jaime, seeking his perspective. "You had a couple of encounters with Peyton. Do you think she would have taken her own life?"
Jaime pondered for a moment, then honestly shook his head.
"Plus, that day she not only reached out to Paige, she also contacted a divorce lawyer. If she didn't want a divorce, why would she seek a divorce lawyer? She should've sought a relationship counselor!" Rosalynn continued.
As Paige saw Grant at the police station, a shiver ran down her spine. His tears, sorrow, and anxiety felt incredibly fake to her. There were moments when she even caught glimpses of a suppressed smile on his face.
"If it really was him, he's incredibly audacious," Wayne commented coldly. "I had someone investigate. His ex-wife's death was also highly suspicious. Her family still believes that Grant was responsible for her demise."
"Really?" Hilaria furrowed her eyebrows. "Then why didn't they report it to the police?"
