“They went through all that trouble; there’s no way they’re giving anything back. What do you think this is, a joke?”

“True.” Tessa agreed.

That old scumbag Dale was probably about to lose his mind.

“I’m just curious,” Stella said. “If Dale’s not your dad, then who is? I’ve seen pictures of him–your eyes look exactly like his.”

There was a resemblance, but now that Diana had said Tessa wasn’t his daughter, they were inclined to believe her.

Hearing the hint of gossip in Stella’s voice, Tessa pouted.

‘Whoever it is,” Stella said dryly, “as long as it’s not that old scumbag, it’s fine by me.”

After all these years, they’d seen plenty of awful men–but a man who knew he had a child and still refused to acknowledge them? That was a new low.

‘Exactly,” Tessa muttered.

‘Hey, enough about me,” she added quickly. “You’d better watch out for the Tom family! And does this have anything to do with Mr. Derrick?”

‘What would it have to do with him? Derrick cut ties with the Tom family a long time ago.”

It clearly had nothing to do with Derrick.
