Chapter 123

• "Simmy knew about the relationship between my father and your mother, Azora. But she never told your father about it. She kept it hidden from you and Alibata Briones. But when your mother decided to end their relationship with my father, Simmy didn't agree."
• Andrie's words made Azora blink, recalling the day her father revealed he knew about her mother's affair. Did Simmy tell her father?
• Andrie sighed and looked away. "I saw how he smashed things when he found out your father had kept your mother for months, just like what he did to you." He glanced briefly at her before quickly looking away again. "He was in the States attending a business conference, which is why Dad couldn't rescue your mother. Simmy stood between our fathers. Simmy also provided information to Dad, and sometimes they communicated through Simmy."
