Chapter 254

Rhoda was all worked up. "I heard that ever since Irma got hurt a few days ago, Thorne, Charlene, and the whole Ross family have been pretty tight. Someone even spotted Thorne having dinner with that old lady from the Rosses yesterday. They're not trying to rekindle an old flame, are they?"

"They never had a flame to rekindle," Vesta replied calmly, clearly not a fan of Rhoda's choice of words.
