"They say his parents had him when he was eight or nine, or perhaps in his teens." Finn Hale took a deep breath, "The specific reasons are unknown, it might have been illness or an accident, but they passed away early."
"But I only heard about it, after all, I'm not close to the Payne Family, and this is a rather private matter for them."
"I heard that after that, his mother's health declined significantly, and she also had an accident, and her mental state wasn't very good."
William Hale's eyes dimmed slightly.
"Her mental state wasn't good?"
If their daughter had passed away early, it would be understandable.
Basically, the Payne Family is too low-profile, rarely socializes with others, and William Hale is not interested in jewelry or the likes, so he knows very little about the Payne Family's affairs.
"Since it's a private matter, where did you hear about it?"
He had never heard that the Payne Family had a daughter.
