"This is your mother," Madam said. "Doesn't she look pretty?" Irene looked at the photo in a daze.
"Is this really my mother? She's gorgeous!" "Yes, she is indeed gorgeous. Not only was she gorgeous, but she also had a sweet voice. She was so attractive, she had men in her grips." Madam sounded a little jealous when she said that. "What's enviable is that she comes from a rich family." Irene asked, "Is she dead?" She remembered that the old woman had told her that all her family was dead.
"Yes, she is dead. Only you survived in your entire family." Madam tucked her phone away. "Irene, the person who killed your entire family would surely want to kill you, too. So, if you were to run about everywhere, the only outcwould be your death.

"Not necessarily. I'm still investigating it. But, I think that it's most likely her," Madam said. "There are many things I say to you right now that you might not know. Once you grow up, you'll naturally understand everything." "Oh... What is my mother called?" Irene asked "Her nis Ruby Gould." "Ruby Gould," Irene etched her mother's ndeep into her heart. Then, she asked, "What about my father? What is his name?" "Heh... Your father... Your father is an irresponsible man! Knowing his nwill not do you any good!" Madam's eyes were filled with hatred when she said that.
If Elliot could have been with Ruby, then all this tragedy would have been averted.
The Goulds would not have been annihilated. Paul would not have been affected by it, either! Irene looked at how agitated Madam was. She instantly lost her courage to continue asking questions.
"Madam, where are you taking me? When will Grandma cto see me? I want to be with Grandma," Irene softly pleaded.
"Let's see in a few days. Let's see if anyone will look for Grandma or et not." Madam had calmed down gradually. "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I only want to get to the bottom of who killed your entire family." n english"Madam, are you a relative of mine?" Irene thought that Madam might be a good person.
"No. I don't like your mother, but there is someone I care about in your family," Madam said.
She thought Irene was too young to understand, so she was not on guard with her.

Grandma takes care ofand treatswell. The Sisters up the hill also treatvery well." Irene did not have any memory of the Gould family being destroyed. Although her childhood was tumultuous, she only remembered good memories.
"Grandma has been caring for you every day. She has grown feelings for you. Also, you're not an annoying child." Madam looked at Irene contemplatively.
"You look like your father. You don't look at all like your mother." "That means my Daddy must be pretty." Irene only said that because her grandmother had always praised her looks.
"Haha! What use is being good-looking? A man who doesn't take responsibility hurts everyone!" Madam said.
Madam felt that the destruction of the Gould family was most likely Avery's doing, since Ruby had given birth to Elliot's daughter, Ivy. Avery had gotten jealous and had hired people to kill the Gould family. Avery never would have predicted that Ivy had escaped alive.
If her guess was right, Avery would surely not have let Ivy, who had had her nchanged to Irene, live.
