Chapter 1023
The sky over H City suddenly darkened in the late afternoon, with storm clouds smothering the entire city. After
flashes of lightning and thunder, a downpour started.
Paige hurriedly drove to the villa she had bought for Peyton. That afternoon, she had called many people who were
frequently in contact with Peyton. However, in the past half–month, Peyton had not been in touch with anyone
“Slow down, no rush!” Rosalynn, after getting out of the car, saw Paige almost trip on the front steps. She quickly
ran over to help.
“Tm okay, I’m okay.” Paige wasn’t sure if she was speaking to Rosalynn or just reassuring herself. She ran to the

if Peyton wasn’t home, there should be housekeepers, right? But there was no answer. Increasingly panicked, she
used her fingerprint to unlock the door and entered the pitch–dark villa
Paige switched on the light “Mom?” She walked into the house and called out, but there was no response. Then, she
hastily checked every room in the villa, but Peyton was nowhere to be found.
In the walk–in closet, Peyton’s clothes, favorite handbags, and suitcases were all still there. She clearly hadn’t gone
far. Paige took a deep breath, pulled out her phone, and dialed Grant’s number. But, Grant’s phone kept ringing
without any answer.
Angrily, Paige hung up, then dialed a strange number. After a few rings, the person on the other end picked up.
Before Paige could speak, the person on the line anxiously started, “Paige?”
“Logan, has my mom contacted you recently?” Paige asked coldly, “Her friends haven’t been able to reach her for
half a month, Grant isn’t answering my calls, can you confirm if my mom is with him?”
Logan was taken aback. “He’s with me right now, your aunt isn’t here.”
“Give him the phone!!” Paige demanded angrily.
“He told me your mom wanted a divorce and she went back to you, didn’t she come to see you?” Logan asked
solemnly.
Paige’s mind went blank, her legs went weak, and she almost fell.
“Careful.” Rosalynn caught her, took the phone from her hand, “Logan, tell Grant we’re reporting this to the police.”
“Ms. Jared, what’s wrong with Paige?” Logan asked anxiously.
“That’s not your concern, just pass the message to Grant. Rosalynn hung up, then helped Paige sit down.

Rosalynn gently patted her hand: “First, let’s call the police.”
“Okay!” Paige nodded chokingly, then called the police.
Not long after reporting to the police, Baillie rushed to the police station.
“Baillie…” Paige’s eyes welled up with tears when she saw Baillie
“I know everything. Baillie squatted down, grabbing her hand, “Don’t be scared, maybe she’s just upset and hiding
somewhere.”
Paige knew this was impossible.
Peyton had no ability to live on her own, and she was timid…
But it seemed to be her only hope.
