Jayden responded, “Yeah, Hank spilled the beans to Clair.”

Marcus said, “Hank’s a sly fox, and he could be full of crap. You guys better double–check to make sure he didn’t

pull the wool over your eyes.”

Jayden answered, “Roger that.”

After a brief pause, Marcus asked again, “When did the real Clair get to see Hawthorne after she was locked up?”

Jayden answered, “In June of that year, when Cornelia was just a wee six months old

Marcus did some quick math. “So the real Clair hooked up with Hawthorne before the divorce, then Hank whisked

her away from Rosenberg to Riverton. That same December, the fake Clair tied the knot with Granger, and by

March the next year, Natalia was born.”

Jayden said, “That’s the long and short of it.”

Marcus continued, “Three months after fake Clair married Granger, the real Clair popped out Natalia, then this kid

was carted off to the Reese family by the fake Clair. To keep people from sniffing around about the kid’s real roots,

the Reese family Judged Natalia’s birthday to September Something this big, you think Granger’s in the dark?”

Jayden suddenly got it, “President Hartley, are you implying that the real Clair’s death has something to do with

Granger?”

Marcus had his suspicions, but no hard proof, “Hank and the fake Clair are both Rosenberg natives, they had no

clout in Riverton back in the day, making somebody disappear isn’t exactly a cakewalk.”

Jayden said, “I’ll start digging into Granger then”

Marcus said, “Granger definitely knows about the two Clairs, and about Natalia’s real parentage. He’s all about the

bottom line, why the hell did he agree to play daddy for Natalia?”

Jayden said, “The Reese family has been itching to hitch up with the Hartley family and they wanted to marry

Natalia off to you. Once Natalia becomes your wife, the Reese family can rake in the dough, that’s why he’s cool

with acknowledging her Other than that, I can’t think of any other motive.”

Marcus shook his head, “There’s probably more to this that we don’t know about, dig deeper.”

Jayden responded, “Will do.”

After hanging up, Marcus pocketed his phone and looked up at the night sky.

The city was full of towering buildings, and in the heart of it, all he could see looking up was building after building.

Stars were a rare sight.

At this moment, he felt like he was lost in a fog. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t see what was ahead..

He lit up a cigarette and took a few hard drags, Brennen’s cold words from a few days ago echoed in his ears,

“Marcus, if you have to choose between the Hartley Group and Cornelia, what’s it gonna be?”

He had responded, “Cornelia’s my wife, and the Hartley Group became globally famous under my management, I

can’t do without either, I want both.”

Brennen said, “You want it all? Can you handle it? Marcus, don’t bite off more than you can chew, or you might not

even know what hit you”

Marcus sneered, “You think you can touch me with your little tricks?”

Brennen replied, “I managed to off Granny Rebecca without you noticing a thing, do you think I couldn’t do the

same to Cornelia? Of course, you could call my bluft. use her life to test me and see if I’m capable.”
