Rita looked down, lost in thought. The surprise was still fresh but she was starting to trust Sierras words.
Past uncertainties were now making sense. No wonder, after Horace met Tyrone the other day, Horace wanted her back in Violetholt, ready to break ties with Sierra. It wasnt about avoiding drama with the Blakelys, or fear. It was because Tyrone was his own son.
And it explained why Horace pushed her to accept Sabrina into the Fowler family. It wasnt just about Sabrinas qualities. Sabrina was Tyrones ex-wife. Maybe Tyrone didnt know his true lineage, or perhaps he did but didnt want to return to the Fowlers. So, Horace hoped Sabrina could bring them closer.
Sierra watched Rita, knowing she was piecing it together.
Auntie, are you going to ditch me because of this? Sierras eyes held a mix of loneliness and hope.

With Nicols poor health and big age gap, he couldnt stand up to Blayze, especially without family backup.
Sabrina was Nicols half sister. If Rita had different plans for the Fowlers, she could accept Sabrina, smoothing things over with Tyrone, and team up with him against Blayze for more benefits for herself and Nicol.
But Sierra hated Sabrina, wrongly blaming everything on her. So, Sierra laid it out there.
Rita gently held Sierras hand, reassuring her, No way. I wouldnt do that.
Even if Rita wanted to, Sabrinas distant demeanor wouldnt allow it.
Auntie, youre the best.
But anyway, how does this connect to your parents passing? Rita redirected the talk.
I just found out about that. Guess who Tyrones biological mom is?
Given that Tyrones biological father was Horace, he wasnt actually the child of Elijah but had grown up with the Blakely family, so..
Its Tyrones so-called aunt, Kira.
A moment of realization struck Rita and now her voice was filled with certainty.
Before, there were no dealings between the Fowlers and the Blakelys.
Rita only knew Tyrones aunt, Kira, who lived abroad for ages, and initially, Jennie stayed with Kira.
Kira had hooked up with Horace, tied to Blayzes moms death.
Sierra quickly sketched out the feud between Kira and Horace, getting more fired up. Since Analia died, the Fowlers and Blakelys cut ties. Kira got shipped overseas, and Tyrone got registered under his uncles name. Both families kept it hush-hush. If I hadnt overheard Horace and Blayze, Id never know. And it all links back to my parents crash.
Connected to Kira?
Yep. Kiras a tough cookie and didnt want to leave. She hoped Horace would bring her back. But then, he met you. Not taking it well, she tried to off you with a hit, making it look like a car accident but things went haywire.
Tears welled up in Sierras eyes as she continued, Auntie, you know how well my parents treated you. It was Kira after you, yet they took the hit for you. You have to get justice for them. They cant have died for nothing!
Ritas hands slowly balled into fists. I get it. Let me mull it over. If Kira had the guts to harm her, unwittingly taking out her own brother and his wife, she wouldnt let it slide!
