Chapter 37 Volatile Retribution

• Denice looked at her grandfather in astonishment. “His mother? How would she have known my mom?”
• He sat down at a chair that was away from his desk. He gestured for Denice to sit on the couch across from him. “His mother and Ayanna were the best of friends; inseparable even. I know how much she trusted Garrett’s mother. Before your mother disappeared, she told Garrett’s mother of your true origin; how you weren’t Dylan’s daughter. Dylan has known that you weren’t his daughter, but he doted on you in the beginning. Ayanna always spoke about how he took you in as his own, but then, something changed.” His gaze darkened at that thought and as he paused, he saw Denice’s gaze; it was very distant and cold.
• She couldn’t understand why, but it bothered her that Garrett’s mom knew and didn’t do anything. “How did you come to find out about Dylan’s ‘infidelity?’” Her gaze changed slightly.
