Chapter 140: Cole Taking Charge.

Ivy's stomach dropped at the madness in Cole's eyes. Her head spun with confusion and it took everything to stop her from hitting the ground with shock

"Guys... can we just try to take it slow" Patrick said standing up from the chair. The look on his face told Ivy he either was trying to sweet talk his way out of the situation as always or that he had no idea how grave it was.

"Hey, guys, Geoffrey said, his voice shaking. "I'm right here, please what's going on?"

"How did she find out?" Cole asked, facing his father. "Tell us everything."

Patrick sighed and sank into his chair. "She found out when I was talking to Anna's sister about taking in Geo."
