Chapter 127 Chapter 127 Neither of us would hold grudges, which made sorting through issues much easier.

Lisa's arrival was odd, and she didn't even try to hide her agenda. We both sensed something was off.

"When was the last tyou got in touch with Talbot? It's been years without any contact. He visited you at the hospital, and your cousin Lisa suddenly cto my office. What are they up to? I feel it's not just about the bridge project." Aside from matters of the heart, Clyde was sharp as a tack.

I didn't hold back from him. Except for the diary my mom left behind, I told him everything.

"You've met Galen a few times. He's pickedup from school before, a real bean counter. I can't imagine him betraying my dad. But something was fishy about what happened back then, and even the police couldn't find him. It's all too strange."

I couldn't take it anymore. "Clyde, Merritt already told me. You've been investigating my dad's death and even protected my mom..."
