Clara's eyes widened with surprise, and he desperately wished he could bite his own tongue off.

With a puzzled look, Clara stared at him. "But isn't that you and Heidi? To be precise, shouldn't it be the lost child of the Campbell family? How could it possibly be me?"

Seeing her skepticism, lan quickly diverted her attention by pinching her nose and said with a laugh, "My silly wife, you've caught me in my own fib. Are you in cahoots with him?"

Clara didn't dwell on it, looking up at lan. "What do we do now? Should we tell Teo and Katherine?"

Brodie was the first to voice his opposition. "I don't want them to know until we've got the whole story. It could stir up unnecessary trouble. I refuse to let people think my mom was the other woman in someone else's marriage."

It was a notion he never believed, and he was determined to uncover the truth to clear his mother's name.

lan nodded in agreement. "The person who wanted to harm you back then might not have been Sierra. It's likely someone behind the scenes. If they learn you're still alive, you could be in danger."
