Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

Chapter 202

Matthew and Lindey had always been so good to me-so good that even thinking about doubting them made me feel guilty.

The more uncertain things got, the more desperate I was to know. Not just for my dad, but to clear Matthew's name-if he was innocent.

Lena didn't say much, just gave me a small nod. "Whatever happens, I've got your back."

Her words hit me harder than I expected, like she already knew what I might uncover.
