Scott felt anxious. From their recent encounters, it was clear that Elysia was no ordinary individual. If she did not obtain the answers she sought today, it was likely she would take extreme measures, and at that point, it would be too late for regrets.

After carefully weighing his options in his mind, he spoke as if making a monumental decision, “I have not met that individual. During the transaction years ago, we only communicated via phone.

“He wanted Bella’s child, yet he had no interest in a living infant, only a deceased one. So, to ensure a smooth process, I took Bella to Jorlandia several days before her due date and admitted her to the hospital arranged by him.

“After the child was born, I suffocated her with my own hands and left her in the location specified by him. After that, I took off. He was very cautious; even our phone conversations were altered. So, I really know nothing about his identity.”

Elysia clasped her hands together, undeterred by the truth of Scott’s words. If even the Evans family could not uncover any clues, then his mind was surely sharper than most.

It seemed she had misjudged earlier; it was not Scott who had replaced the infant, but rather the individual he had mentioned. However, she was quite curious about how he managed to perform such an act without drawing attention.

Yuna had tasks to attend to once again.

Elysia’s gaze swept over Scott, who was clutching his forehead in guilt. Her tone was frigid as she said, “Someone like you might not feel indebted to others.”

With that, she turned and walked away.

Scott stared at her disappearing figure, lost in thought. Elysia was correct; he had never felt indebted to anyone. To him, those who served his interests were merely doing their jobs.

From a different perspective, it was he who helped them realize their value; they ought to be grateful.

Exiting the prison, Elysia slid into the backseat of the car, a mischievous smirk playing on her lips as she quipped, “Yuna, you got tasks.”

“Elysia, what do you need me to do?” Yuna replied, focused and ready for action.

“Investigate the people involved in Mrs. Evans’s delivery from years ago. Remember, no detail is too small. Pay special attention to those who registered at the hospital months before, or within a year of her delivery, or those who left immediately after.”

“Yes, Elysia,” Yuna confirmed, determination in her voice.
