Chapter 78: Desirable Man
Sephina stood fuming, her anger now directed at Albert. "Who is that man she married? How dare he insult us? And you, you support him?"
Albert remained quiet, choosing not to engage. "I need to sleep," he muttered, his mind already set on sneaking out later to visit Natalie instead of wasting energy arguing with his stubborn wife. He needed to save his strength.
"Always the same excuse when you want to avoid my questions," Sephina spat, frustrated by his silence.
Sephina turned to Jay. "What’s the name of her husband?"
Jay shrugged. "Mother, I don’t even remember. I didn’t bother looking at her marriage certificate."
"Aiden Handrix," Clara finally spoke up, breaking her silence. "I remember that name. It was on her marriage certificate, and I’ve seen his picture on it as well."
"Aiden Handrix?" Sephina repeated, her teeth gritted in anger. "Jay, I want you to find out everything about him. Where he comes from, what he does—everything."
"Did you see the clothes he was wearing, Mother?" Clara added. "They looked ordinary. What if he’s just faking that confidence to scare us? Poor people often know how to act well in front of the wealthy. If he were really someone important, we’d have heard of Aiden Handrix before."
Sephina stayed silent for a moment, her thoughts swirling. "We’ll know soon enough once we investigate."
But her senses were telling her that it was not an act the way Justin carried himself, that air of nobility—it was indeed inherent, making her wonder, what kind of a man her grand-daughter had even married.
