Chapter 123: Helping hand (2)
Trevor knew Xavier’s words to be lies. He was well aware something had to be done to claim the home but his mother sleeping with someone wasn’t the way to do it. If his father were to ever hear this then his mother would have hell to pay.
"Mother," Trevor said, needing her to deny it. It was absurd to think she would go that far when she was still with his father.
"Certainly you wouldn’t believe him when he is after our home," Ruby said, hoping Trevor trusted her.
"Our home?" Paige questioned, amused by Ruby’s claim of the home. Ruby seemed to forget she had a home with her husband so this was Trevor’s home. "I think I am the only one confused here. When Trevor courted me, he mentioned having a home. This home."
Paige continued, "It had an awful history to it because of what the last owners did but I turned it around to my liking. Now, you are telling me that I must hand it over to someone? Clear this up quickly for me, Trevor."
Paige was not ready to leave her home. It had taken plenty of her time to change this house to make it worth something. It was she who painted a pretty portrait to have her friends and family not worried about what the former Harrisons did here. No one could just come to snatch it away.
Trevor needed to think of how embarrassing it would be for her to leave and have to explain it to the people around her.
"I don’t know what Lord Blackthorn thinks he knows but this home belongs to Trevor. I have seen the papers myself and I will not stand for you accusing me of seducing a man to claim this home," Ruby argued.
Xavier stepped further into the home to inspect it. "Then, I suggest you sit. My kindness to let you leave peacefully is running out. You should start gathering your things."
