"What?!" Lord Owens blurted out.Azure King nodded, and sat down on the couch in front of his father's desk. "You heard me right, dad. Jackson Lance is acquainted with Dwayne Clifford, Dylan's uncle."Lord Owens lowered his gaze as he was lost in thought about the information. "If they're both acquainted, then could it be…""Dad, it seems we are gonna want to talk to Dylan about this. I don't think he's in the dark like we think he is.
