I need you to listen to me please," the lady on the phone requested."You haven't told me who you are," Justin insisted she introduced herself, even when he knew who was speaking."Please I need to speak with you physically," she requested.Justin thought on what to do as she refused to introduce herself, thinking he doesn't know she was the one."You really need to see me huh?" Justin asked."Yes, I do," she responded."I'm sure it's about Joey, isn't it?" Justin asked, as he decided to play along giving her some hope.The lady on the phone went mute as she couldn't answer the question.

CHAPTER 77: UNCERTAIN TRUTH."You know, watching you grow up by yourself without the presence of a father in your life was a very hard decision on my part," Mr Russell said, as Justin was still seated in his house."You knew me from childhood?" Justin asked surprisedly."Why won't I know you when the secret of your birth lies in my palm," Mr Russell said, and chuckled softly looking at Justin."Who are you sir?" Justin asked, as he wanted to know more."You know, back in the day when your mom and I were the talk of the town, I could do anything to keep her happy," Mr Russell stated.Justin was already losing patience on hearing all that Mr Russell had said without making him understand."You really need to explain things properly to me," Justin angrily said, looking at Mr Russell."I will my son I will," Mr Russell said, subtly dropping a bomb in Justin's heart.Justin stood up angrily and started walking round the living room as he couldn't figure out whatever it was that was happeni
