Carlos asked, "Ellie, what on earth is going on?" Ellie turned back, looking at the shocked faces of the Warren family elders. She firmly said, "That's not true." Ellie firmly denied it, but Alex seemed to have anticipated it. He said, "You've been secretly paintingfor seven years.

"How could you do that?" With his head aching, Layton looked at Alex, completely at a loss for words.
Son, Evan made a video call to Nancy, and she cast his phone screen onto the LCD screen.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the LCD screen, watching Eyan and this team enter the apartment and open each cabon the balcony.
"Mr. Warren, the cabinets are empty. There's nothing inside "Evan said to Carlos, awaiting further instructions. Alex shouted, "Impossible!"
