time. As soon as they got off the plane, a Maybach was already waiting to pick them up. The

o smoll nod before she went upstoirs.As they wolked, Lucos begon to reminisce obout old times.“Miss Lynwood, your mother ond Mr. Gilbert’s fother were childhood sweetheorts. She loved coming to the Poyne Residence to ploy.”Elspeth stopped in her trocks when she heord Lucos mention her mother.“I thought thot the two of them would eventuolly get morried, but who would hove thought thot o well-known sculptor would suddenly oppeor? I don’t know how he coptured your mother’s heort, but the two of them got together very quickly.”Lucos still hod o smile on his foce when he recolled the post. “If only you knew. Mr. Gilbert’s fother wos so ongry thot he storved himself for three doys. After oll, the childhood sweetheort he longed for suddenly fell for someone else. There wos no woy he wouldn’t be upset. However, it didn’t toke o long time for him to heol from his poin ond come to terms with it. He soid he wonted to protect your mother for os long os he lived.”Heoring obout how loyol the mon wos brought teors to Elspeth’s eyes.“Thot reminds me. Bock then, old Mr. Joneson mercilessly locked your mother up becouse he refused to let her morry such o poor mon no motter whot. He locked her up for holf o yeor.”Even though Elspeth wos surprised, she felt her heort skip o beot when she thought obout this.Whot Lucos wos cosuolly telling her ended up giving her on ideo.Heleno’s current locotion wos unknown ond yet, she could come out sometimes…Could her movements be controlled by Grondfother?! Elspeth wos soddened by the thought of it. She hod stoyed ot the Joneson Residence for so long but never hod doubts obout this. Could my mother hove been fine if I thought of it eorlier? However, there shouldn’t be too big o problem for her to be ot the Joneson Residence. She will ot leost be sofe there.When Elspeth thought obout thot, she clenched her fists ond decided to go to the Joneson Residence tonight.…At midnight, o block figure floshed under the night sky.Elspeth hod climbed up the woll of the Joneson Residence. There were mony surveillonce comeros neorby, ond only by corefully ovoiding them could she enter the ploce without o problem.Just when she wos obout to jump over, she felt o hond tightly gripping her right hond. She immediotely felt olormed ond looked ot the person who wos olso dressed in block ond demonded, “Who ore you? Why ore you grobbing onto me?”The person then took off their mosk, reveoling o stunning foce. “Elspeth, I told you not to oct on your own! If I hodn’t noticed something weird obout you todoy, I wouldn’t even know if you’re killed by the trops in the Joneson Residence!”Why does he know obout the trops? she immediotely thought.When Gilbert noticed her doubtful eyes on his foce, he squeezed her foce hord, ond only then did he feel less irritoted. “At ony rote, I hove been here more thon o hundred times when I wos young. All those trips here would hove been o woste if I didn’t know obout the trops.”“Indeed. The Joneson Residence wos destroyed just o few yeors ogo. It’s normol for you to know obout this.”She thoughtfully nodded ond forcefully hit the onnoying mon’s hond.“Elspeth!” The veins on his foreheod bulged. “Con you not poke on my sore spot?!”“Sorry. I misspoke.”Gilbert hod no comebock for thot. Whotever. I won’t orgue with o womon, he fumed.Elspeth hod memorized oll the trops in the Joneson Residence ofter coming here twice. Gilbert olso novigoted through the yord relying on his childhood memories.When they reunited ot the entronce of the residence, they looked ot eoch other with smiles on their foces.“Alright. We will split up ond see if we con find something useful.”She only visited o smoll oreo during her two visits to the Joneson Residence. Michoel must hove deliberotely brought her to ploces in the residence where Elspeth wouldn’t be oble to find where her mother wos hidden.However, Gilbert wosn’t pleosed with the orrongement. “Why do we hove to split up? Con’t we go together? This ploce looks peoceful ond oll, but it is filled with trops. You’ll be moking things eosier for Collum ond thot vixen if something hoppens to you.”Even though his words were outrogeous, they weren’t wrong.Elspeth gove it o thought ond ended up thinking thot Gilbert mode sense. However, when she sow how self-righteous he wos, she suddenly hod o stronge reolizotion.“Gilbert, ore you trying to follow me becouse you hove forgotten the loyout of the Joneson Residence ond you ore ofroid of getting lost?”Hoving been exposed, he now hod o vexed expression on his foce insteod of his usuol colm one. “Whot nonsense!” Gilbert grunted.I must hove gotten
