Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1041

Marcus asked, "Did Hank spill all this tea?"

Jayden responded, "Yeah, Hank spilled the beans to Clair."

Marcus said, "Hank's a sly fox, and he could be full of crap. You guys better double-check to make sure he didn't pull the wool over your eyes."

Jayden answered, "Roger that."

After a brief pause, Marcus asked again, "When did the real Clair get to see Hawthorne after she was locked up?"

Jayden answered, "In June of that year, when Cornelia was just a wee six months old."

Marcus did some quick math, "So the real Clair hooked up with Hawthorne before the divorce, then Hank whisked her away from Rosenberg to Riverton. That same December, the fake Clair tied the knot with Granger, and by March the next year, Natalia was born."

Jayden said, "That's the long and short of it."

Marcus continued, "Three months after fake Clair married Granger, the real Clair popped out Natalia, then this kid was carted off to the Reese family by the fake Clair. To keep people from sniffing around about the kid's real roots, the Reese family fudged Natalia's birthday to September. Something this big, you think Granger's in the dark?"

Jayden suddenly got it, "President Hartley, are you implying that the real Clair's death has something to do with Granger?"

Marcus had his suspicions, but no hard proof, "Hank and the fake Clair are both Rosenberg natives, they had no clout in Riverton back in the day, making somebody disappear isn't exactly a cakewalk."

Jayden said, "I'll start digging into Granger then."
