Edith, her face now contorting into a mask of tears, replied in a voice that shook with emotion. "Why would you think I'd lie about something as serious as this?" she asked, her eyes welling up with tears. "Why should I deny my son the right to know who his father is?

Avery took a long, deep breath, her mind spinning as she considered Edith's responses. She could see the carefully planned display of emotion, the well-rehearsed lines, and yet there was still a small part of her that wondered if it could all be true.

"If this is true, then why did you choose to tell me and not Jeremy himself?" Avery asked, her tone still laced with skepticism. "And why did you wait twelve years before showing up again?"

Edith's expression hardened as she tried to maintain her com

    Edith's frustration mounted as her calls to Avery went unanswered. "She's ignoring me!" she exclaimed, her voice laden with irritation as she tapped the 'call' button for the umpteenth time.

Mr Cowan said."That better be the case, because we are yet to get enough money from her," Edith said as she dialed Avery's number again and fortunately Avery picked up."Isn't it a bit early for such disturbances?" Avery questioned, her tone echoing the annoyance that had been building within her since Edith's previous calls.Edith let out a barely audible sigh, then seamlessly shifted gears, adopting a tremulous and tearful voice.

I feel like we know them, but they haven't completely shown who they really are, but we can make a guess," Jeremy said. Deep down, he knew who was doing this, but since he had no proof, he couldn't point to that person."You have an idea who the person is, tell me so I can know who my enemies are," Avery spoke up. Her face was stressed. It was obvious that she had worked so hard these past weeks and needed a lot of rest."I can't really say, I feel like the Senator, the three wise men, the former estate manager and all the people who have had one problem or another with us are somehow involved in this," Jeremy claimed, but he wasn't sure yet.He was very concerned, especially now that they were attacking his wife's bu

Does this person work for you?" Jeremy asked with every ounce of curiosity and surprise in his voice.His father had always been a cautious man and nothing seemed to get past him, nothing at all, only if he allowed it to.Jeremy wasn't going to agree to something he didn't understand, not until he knew what to expect, he wasn't going to take the chance."He doesn't work for me, but we have a unique relationship and I'm sure he would be happy to help you," Mr Nathaniel said to his son with a tone of determination.
