Chapter 1079

He pondered coldly, "I've had my suspicions for a while now.

A couple of days ago, I was on the phone with Whitney, trying to gauge her reactions.

Both she and Keegan are convinced her mother died in that car crash years ago. She even mentioned that Keegan saw his sister in the car.

Parker's eyes widened as he took a sharp breath, his gaze darting around in disbelief.

It was just too crazy!

A mother who was thought to be long gone, still alive?
