Ellie hung up and looked over at the group.

Ryan still wore a calm expression, clearly understanding what had happened without needing any explanation.

Meanwhile, Erin smiled brightly and teased, "Did the person quit ages ago?"

Ellie nodded, looking frustrated. "Yeah, the manager said she left about six months ago because of some family emergency. I… haven't been back to the spa much since I got together with Darien, so I didn't know. But I did ask for her details. Ryan, can you help me look into it?"

Ryan gazed at his innocent little sister and sighed softly.

Then he glanced over at Keira and Erin.

Keira had a steely look in her eyes as if she already understood everything, and considering her sharp methods, she wasn't someone to mess with.

As for Erin, she was even trickier. She had this innocent and sweet vibe, but everything she did screamed mischief. Her expression made it clear that she knew exactly what was going on from the start.

Ellie, on the other hand, was truly clueless.

Ryan fiddled with the prayer beads around his wrist and said calmly, "Don't bother. That info's definitely fake. You won't get anything from it."

Ellie blinked in surprise. "How's that possible? It's an ID card, she—"

Ryan nodded.
