Chapter 246

Thankfully, all her hard work finally paid off.

Alicia knew Sherry never missed a detail. “Any luck finding out where Mavis’s ex-husband ended up?”

Sherry shook her head, looking apologetic. “No luck. All I know is, after your dad Leo stepped in and pushed for the divorce, the guy just disappeared without a trace and never looked back.

“He’s cut off everyone-friends, family, you name it. Not a word from him all these years.”

Sherry had hit a dead end, no matter what she tried.

Alicia smiled and patted Sherry on the shoulder. “Don’t worry about not finding him. What you found means a lot to me.

“Seriously, thank you so much!”

Sherry’s lead was like flipping on a light in a dark room-suddenly, Alicia knew exactly where

to go next.

Sherry grinned. “Come on, you don’t have to be so polite with me. I’m your assistant-this is what I’m here for.”

Alicia dropped the formalities. Sherry was nothing like Haley; she was someone Alicia could actually trust.

They talked over Alicia’s upcoming schedule, grabbed a bite together, and then went their

separate ways.

Once she got home, Alicia shot Jason a text: [You home?]

Jason replied almost instantly: [Yeah, you back?]

Alicia: [Yeah, I need to talk to you about something. I’ll come by.]

Jason: [Sure!]

‘She comes to me first whenever something’s up. Jason couldn’t help but feel a rush of happiness at the thought.

He hurried to open the door and waited for her to show up.

As soon as Alicia walked in, she gave Jason the rundown on what Sherry had found.

Jason hadn’t expected Nicole’s family history to be this messy.

“My people got a lead on Mavis’s ex-husband. We should be able to find him soon,” Jason

said.

“Once we bring him in, we can blow up the whole secret diary thing-and reveal Nicole’s not even his kid.”

Alicia nodded with a sly grin. “Exactly. We’ll drop the paternity test bomb and let everyone play detective about who her real dad is.”
