Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 1052 Her Pain Is His Pain

Raymond scowled and flicked away his cigarette. "Didn't Kyle say Selena was Delia's kid from an affair?"

Paul shuffled through the papers in front of him, uncovering an even nastier secret.

"Maybe," Paul said. "Delia used to be a hooker in Ridgefield. Security was crap back then. Kyle was a lowlife who did time for raping his neighbor's daughter. When he got out, he married Delia, who had quit hooking. Kyle's got a crippled brother. He caught Delia messing around with his brother, and when the baby came, he thought it might be his brother's kid. So, he sold her. The hospital records are under his brother's name."

This truth was even more humiliating. Her mom had an affair with her husband's brother, a poor, morally bankrupt cripple, which led to her birth.

Paul went on, "Raymond, I've had Kyle and Delia questioned. This is what we found out. I've always had people in Ridgefield. This is a messy situation. Now, almost all of Delia and Kyle's dirt has been dug up. Ever since that Ridgefield building incident, many families have sent people there, worried something might happen without them knowing."

So, that poor backwater place, Ridgefield, had always had people from various families.
