Watch Me Win, Alpha

Chapter 231

When we got to the third floor, Adam led us to a white bedroom door that had chipped paint.

He gave us an apprehensive look, then swung open the door. Sitting in a rocking chair was an old woman with gray hair.

I let out a quiet gasp. Was Alexander’s information wrong? Was this Kelly’s grandma?

“This is my sister,” Adam said, gesturing to the woman. “Sarah Walker. She’s Russell’s mother.”

My shoulders slumped in relief. My mind had been conjuring up images of Kelly keeping her grandma’s dead body in that foul–smelling room in her apartment. Cold fear had flowed through me before I could really look at the woman in the rocking chair. But now that I did, Sarah Walker seemed to be perfectly nice. She smiled tentatively at the three of us and grabbed a cane that leaned against the wall and struggled to stand. I wanted to help her, but I didn’t want to embarrass her.

When I remembered, my stomach swooped with surprise. Russell’s mother had supposedly died in a gas explosion. As I stared at the woman who was definitely still alive, it felt like I was seeing a ghost.
