"I think it's neither," Josie said seriously. "If they were truly backing you, you wouldn't have ended up bankrupt.” Morgan nodded. "Go on."

"Morgan, how come I never knew you had a sister?" Josie asked, half leaning against the railing.

Morgan's expression stiffened. "Who told you?"

"Jasper."

"She's been dead for many years now. There's no need to bring it up."

It seemed like a genuine heartache, yet Josie felt that something was amiss. However, she didn't feel it was appropriate to pry further.

"You're so worried about him, but it's only because of the child between you two, and your ties with the Olsen family.
