When They Beg, I Rise!

Orion hung up the call and immediately dialed Thaddeus, "Is Asher the one the Waverlies have picked for their son-in-law?"

"To be honest, I have no clue. The Waverlies are keeping it under wraps, saying they want to wait until their daughter and her fiancé have developed some feelings before making it public."

After explaining, Thaddeus added, "Where did you hear it was Asher? That seems a bit far-fetched." Orion recounted the press conference Lemira had called earlier that day.

This left Thaddeus in silence: "How did Matthew find out? I had no idea."

"I'm curious about that too. I'll ask him about it later."

"On the Waverlies' end, I'll see what my uncle knows."

Thaddeus hadn't expected such a coincidence.

Orion tried calling Matthew after hanging up, but got no response.

So, he texted Matthew, asking how he knew about Asher's engagement to the Waverlies' daughter. Matthew had just arrived at school with Lemira.

Worried about exposing his brother's identity, he hadn't dared to answer the call.
