When Love Breaks by Jack

The day Timothy passed, he mentioned that Bryant would figure out the truth

sooner or later. They couldn’t keep it from him forever. It was better Bryant

knew now than later to save him from being deceived by that mother and

daughter.

But what caught me off guard was Gary on the other end of the phone,

sounding genuinely puzzled. “Mrs. Ferguson, where did you hear about that?”

My vision nearly blacked out, anticipating Bryant’s icy stare!

“Grandpa told me,” I said.

I even began to doubt myself, wondering if I got it all wrong. But no, I hadn’t.

I tried to remind him, “Gary, don’t you remember? It was in Timothy’s study,

he even had…”

“You must be mistaken.” Gary cut me off so abruptly!

I was stunned, disbelief evident in my voice, “How could I possibly get this

wrong?”

“Jane!” Margaret, somewhat nervous, suddenly scoffed, “You wouldn’t be

trying to bribe Gary into vouching for you, would you? Sadly, he was

Timothy’s most trusted man and would never stoop to your level! Give it up!”
