When we first saw the photo that Grayson found, I couldn't understand why Stella was also in that orphanage. Now it makes sense."

"That photo you had him investigate was taken during that time. I connected the dots through that photo and realized that the fake Stella had a story," Atlas said confidently, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. "You found that photo too?" I looked at Atlas inquiringly.
