The Collins family could not believe the news they had just heard. It was not just the shock of the news itself. They had ways to double-check the facts.
The truth was hard to accept.
The biggest shocker? Whitney had found out that Lucy was actually Matthew's wife. Now, the Collins family had a tough choice to make. Should they tell that pushy man who had called them out of the blue last time?
If Matthew found out what was really going on, the Collins family might be in big trouble.
Oliver, Whitney's dad, was still trying to figure out what to do when Whitney came up to him with a pout. "Daddy, just tell this to that man from before."
Oliver frowned and shook his head. "You don't get it, Whitney. I'd tell him if I could."
"But if you don't tell him, then Charleston will blame us, right?"
Whitney looked at him with wide, innocent eyes. "Besides, Matthew might never find out it was us who told Charleston about his wife, right?"
Oliver thought about it. Whitney had a point. He was just a small fish caught between two big players. If they started a fight, he would not be the one to get hurt.
Maybe it was better to tell that person from Charleston first and get out of this mess as soon as possible.
Then, there was his daughter...
Oliver sneaked a peek at Whitney. She and Matthew got along pretty well, so maybe Matthew would not be too harsh on him. Maybe he would even let Oliver off the hook?
