Rosalynn ushered Ivy into the kitchen as well.
"Granny, Ivy insisted on helping you," Rosalynn said with a warm smile.
Granny Owens initially wanted to refuse, but she had some questions for Rosalynn, so she let them stay.
"I didn't dare ask Baillie." Granny Owens asked while preparing the vegetables, "Was this incident... an accident?"
"Probably not," Rosalynn honestly replied.
"Are you all suspecting Grant?" Granny Owens asked again.
Rosalynn nodded once more.
Granny Owens heaved a deep sigh, "There's something I've been meaning to tell, but I didn't expect Peyton to encounter the same thing that child did!"
"What's that?"
"I only found out later," Granny Owens said gravely, "Grant used to be one of our students too, just not in my department. There was a big incident at the school that year. A female student died in the wild lake behind the school. Her suicide note was found at the scene, saying that she lost the courage to live after breaking up with her boyfriend, so she jumped into the lake. As you know, there were no surveillance cameras back then, so this incident was deemed as suicide."
"Was Grant the boyfriend of this female student?" Rosalynn frowned.
Granny Owens nodded, "By the time I found out about this, Peyton had already been married to Grant for a few years. A teacher who had taught Grant saw a photo of Paige and him and was shocked. She immediately told me about the incident and his ex-wife's suicide."
"How was the family situation of the female student who committed suicide?" Rosalynn asked instinctively.
Granny Owens shook her head, "Not good, but I heard that she borrowed a lot of money before her death. Grant denied that the money was for him, but many students knew that the money was given to Grant. In the end, most of this money was repaid by the girl's family. At that time, Grant was already dating his later wife."
"He must be a habitual offender."
Rosalynn said gravely.
"I think so too. I originally wanted to tell Peyton about this... but when I just warned her to be careful with Grant, she got upset. She thought I couldn't let go of her marriage with my son and wanted to sabotage her relationship with Grant deliberately. After that, our contact diminished."
"Granny, you absolutely can't feel guilty because you didn't warn her in time." Rosalynn could tell what she meant, "Seeing her like that, even if she really knew that Grant had killed two women, she would not leave him. She might even come up with a bunch of excuses, saying that the two women were at fault, defending Grant."
Rosalynn truly believed that Peyton was capable of such absurdity.
