But Serena Stanton didn't expect Elijah Grant to place Rachel Sinclair next door to her; was it to have her assist in taking care of Rachel Sinclair?

On the weekend, Serena Stanton followed the clues provided by Adrian Shaw and had Noah Sinclair drive to Cyrville.
They found a small shop named Old Joyce's Restaurant according to the address. The storefront wasn't large, but it was clean and tidy.
It was lunchtime, the hustle and bustle of voices filled the air, vibrant with energy.
Serena Stanton did not rush to reveal her identity. She and Noah Sinclair ordered several dishes like ordinary guests, quietly observing.
The owner, Christopher Joyce, was a slightly chubby middle-aged man with a kind face. He busily moved around the restaurant, bearing a friendly smile, seemingly well-integrated into the local life of Cyrville.
Unable to approach until two in the afternoon, when the guests had mostly left, and the restaurant quieted down, Serena Stanton stepped forward.
