Logan pulled out a photo from the pile of documents, "This is her and Jaylan's kid! Two years younger than your little Probert, currently attending Blossom Valley Elementary School. Marissa's already a full-fledged housewife!"
"Blossom Valley Elementary School?" I gasped.
"Yes, the same school as Probert!" Logan affirmed, nodding. "Her kid is a grade below Probert!"
A bitter taste filled my mouth, my heart pounding as if it wanted to shatter from the pain.
"Absolutely outrageous!" Catherine couldn't hold back her curse, "That bitch."
"She's always been Jaylan's behind-the-scenes strategist, his trusted aide." Logan slumped on the couch, "She's the one among Jaylan's many women that satisfies him the most!"
"Of course, Marissa is a key contributor to Jaylan's success!" Logan continued, "Marissa's ruthless, and she's the greatest beneficiary. Once you're gone, she'll definitely take your place."
Logan was blunt, not mincing his words. I clenched the photo tighter, crumpling it, the picture distorting.
I looked up at Logan, saying meaningfully, "Then hand this information over to Zora, let her learn! The enemy of my enemy is my weapon!"
Logan got the message, whistling in understanding.
After a while, he turned to me, "Oh, right! Marissa is also pretty close with Jerome."
I was taken aback, quickly asked, "How close?"
