“What? What are you talking about?”
Brayden’s face was a canvas of shock. He rose abruptly, staring at Lydia in astonishment.
“Did Miss Moore tell the truth?”

Lydia let out a wry chuckle and added, “At this rate, she might as well forget about inheriting anything. Her child will only inherit our family’s debts!”
Hannah was taken aback by the cascade of revelations.
“Does your mother know about this?”
Lydia sighed, “How could she not? She was even aware that my father planned to take me back to get married. It’s all for her son’s sake.
