The phone line fell into dead silence, as expected.
“Just spit it out already! What the hell did you find out?” Logan bit back his anger.
Rosalyn chuckled again. “Oh, so you know all the stuff I thought you didn’t? Like Abigail being violated by Grant and then forced to marry him because she was pregnant. And how she suffered until the day she died?”
“Shut up!”
“Logan, I’ll cut to the chase. You’re one of the reasons why Abigail died. If you still have a shred of conscience, you should find out the real cause of her death. You’re not stupid. Are you telling me you never questioned the fishy circumstances surrounding your mom’s death?”
“What the hell do you want from me?!” Logan snapped.
“What do I want? You should be asking yourself what you ought to do, Logan!” Rosalynn’s voice took on a chilly tone. “Your own mother died a horrible death, and you just turned a blind eye…”
“I was only eight! What the hell was I supposed to do? You tell me, what could I have done?!” Logan shouted.
“Are you still eight now?” Rosalynn’s words hit him like a punch in the gut.
Logan gripped the phone tightly, frozen in place.
“I can’t believe Paige ever fell for you. You’re a phony, a total shirker!” Rosalyn said, then hung up.
Paige was speechless.
“So, you mean he knew all along…”
“Not necessarily, but he must have had his suspicions.” Rosalyn picked up a shopping bag and put some stuff in it. “Let’s go. I want to get this sorted as soon as possible to avoid any more drama.”
“Okay.”
They both went downstairs.
Bailie was on the phone.
Hearing their footsteps, he finished his call and walked over.
“Got everything?”
“Yeah!” Paige nodded, linking her arm with his. “Bailie, go do what you need to do. I’m okay now.”
