Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 143

"I'll let you know once I find out." Stefan replied.

Patrick responded, "Make sure you dig deep; if there's solid evidence, don't let anyone off the hook, no matter who's behind it. Do what needs to be done. Anyone who dares to harm the Anderson family is seriously pushing their luck."

He hadn't figured out the details about Lucinda's background yet, so he didn't explain it to Patrick.

They knew from the start that Lucinda wasn't a blood relative of the Moore family. As for whose child she really was, the two elders thought it was best for Stefan to investigate. It would also win him some brownie points with Lucinda.

"Let's go." Patrick said as he rose from his seat. "Let's chow down before your grandma gets suspicious." He added, while heading for the dining room.

The atmosphere was pretty chill between the two elders and the young couple. Savannah even ate a bit more with the kids around.

"You'll know once you see him." The butler replied with a smile.
