Edith nodded, her gaze fixed on the screen in front of her. “My friend bumped into Bella at a party a while back, got lucky, and snagged her on Instagram. She mentioned that Bella posted something last year, something about a blessing from above?”

“What kind of post?”

Gregory furrowed his brows, sending a picture over, “Ask your friend if the girl in this picture is the one with Bella.”

This had something to do with him or Jane, somehow.

Two years ago, she was impersonating someone in the Myers family, and now she’s Bella’s daughter?

Something was off.

Maybe it was time to have a chat with Bella.

Soon enough, Edith’s friend, fresh off her latest stage gig, replied, confirming the girl in the photo was indeed the one from Bella’s Instagram.
