Rising From Betrayal Reborn As The Family Outcast (Alicia Delaney) novel Chapter 246

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.

Jason paused, then asked, “So, have you figured out who Nicole’s real dad is?”

Hearing that, Alicia shot back with a grin, “Wait, you’ve got a guess too, don’t you?”

Jason nodded. “Yeah.

“I’m gonna be digging into that guy pretty hard these days.”

They didn’t even need to say it out loud-both of them knew they were thinking of the same person.

Alicia could feel she and Jason were really starting to sync up. “Yeah, I’ll tap into my own network and see what I can dig up too.

“Now let’s just kick back and watch the drama unfold-trust me, it’s only going to get crazier from here.”

The whole mess between the Hammond and Moore families isn’t going to drag out much longer. The Moore couple love their son way too much to let this go on.

This is all just the warm-up.

As soon as they track down Mavis’s ex-husband, that’s when the real drama kicks off.
