The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1042

"Dad, what the heck?" Ellory clutched his chest and said, "My heart hurts so bad; it feels like I've been kicked in the chest. Take me to the hospital, please!"

"Do it yourself; I'm off to Logan’s home." Grant shot back and left Ellory in the dust, driving off on his own.

Ellory watched as his dad's car disappeared into the distance and glanced back at their mansion, feeling a surge of resentment. He hailed a cab and went to the hospital himself.

Inside the mansion, Paige stood in the living room. The mansion was standalone but not particularly large. She used to snub the place, thinking the living room was too small for a standalone mansion. But now, with teary eyes, she looked around and suddenly felt the place was incredibly empty.

The last time she was here, she was in a rush and didn't really take a good look at the house. Peyton was someone who valued quality of life, but now everything in the house was a complete mess. It was clear that Peyton was not living well before she died.

"Want some water?" Bailie asked softly.

"Mm." Paige nodded. "The water's over there..."

Bailie nodded and headed to the kitchen. When he left, Paige turned to Rosalyn and asked, "Jaime told me, are there other victims?"

Rosalyn nodded. "Just confirmed before coming here, there's one more victim than yesterday."

She then briefly told Paige about Abigail being violated, forced to break up with her boyfriend, and being killed.

After hearing all of this, Paige was shocked and angry. "How could he be so cruel? Even beasts wouldn't do such a thing!"

"The worst part is that he's been careful. There's no evidence left in these cases." Rosalyn said it with disgust.

Paige seemed to think of something: "Wait, Logan once told me that not long after he was born, his grandparents had an accident and died on the spot."

After she finished speaking, she and Rosalyn shared a look. It seemed like they had reached an understanding.

"If they were still alive, it would indeed be detrimental for Grant to control the family." Rosalyn voiced her opinion.
