Marcia's heart soared, thinking it was a property deed or an expensive gift. She hurried over, opened the envelope, and pulled out the papers. She froze. "What is this?"
Maya, noticing Marcia's pale face, felt a wave of relief. She knew Rex wouldn't be nice to this idiot.
But a second later, Maya froze too.
"Don't remember these call logs?" Rex smirked coldly. "Surely you remember the name Thomas Tate?"
The name meant nothing to Marcia, but a cold sweat broke out on Maya's back. Jacqueline was poisoned yesterday, and Rex already knew this much?
Was it Rex or Rowan? Either way, their speed was terrifying.
"Who is Thomas?" Marcia asked, genuinely confused.
To Rex, she was just playing dumb. "You're asking me? Didn't you talk to him for half an hour? What did you discuss?"
Marcia's mind raced. She knew this was serious, but she hadn't made any long phone calls recently. The date on the log was a few nights ago. What was she doing then?
"Did you discuss how to hand off the poison?" Rex's eyes were sharp and dripping with sarcasm. "Or how he should poison her and flee the country?"
If this wasn't tied to finding his real sister, Rex wouldn't have lasted a minute. Laurel and Suzanne were too cautious, plotting intricate traps. He preferred locking people up and starving them until they talked.
