"Mr. Boye is my grandmother? But how could it be? If my grandmother is Mr. Boye, how could Grandfather not know?" Jay was beyond astonished.
Angeline mulled it over and said, "I think your grandfather has no knowledge of your grandmother’s true identity."
Jay was both nonplussed and flabbergasted. "Tell me everything you know, Angeline."
