Chapter 214: Surprise Visit
After the phone call with Jamal, Tom went to the kitchen to get himself a cup of coffee before calling Harry.
He knew that even though it was still quite early in the morning, Harry would most likely be awake, and even if he wasn’t awake, he wouldn’t hesitate to pick up the call if he saw it was from him.
Harry received the call on the third ring, his voice was clear. "Good morning, darling. Did you dream of me?"
Tom chuckled, wondering when Harry was ever going to stop saying stuff like that. "I take it you’re not in bed beside Jade. We need to talk. Barry called."
The humor disappeared from Harry’s voice when he heard Tom’s voice and picked up the hint of worry in it. "Is there a problem?"
"I’ll send you the recording. But the summary of it is that Ryan didn’t just target Kimberly because of greed. He did it as some sort of revenge. His girlfriend died after a hit and run accident. Kimberly was the culprit but she didn’t pay for the crime because of her parents’ wealth and influence. Karen Combs happened to be the late girl’s friend and she seems to have witnessed the accident but was paid to give the wrong testimony. The late girl was pregnant for Ryan at the time of the accident and had his child before she died, but Ryan didn’t know about it because his parents caused some sort of misunderstanding between them that took years to be cleared. Long story short, Karen gave Ryan’s baby away, and then claimed she was pregnant for him but gave him Genevieve. Ryan knew Genevieve wasn’t his. And the child Karen gave away just happens to be Hunter’s son, Callan. Jamal’s best friend. Ryan is now trying to find Callan," Tom said, and Harry was silent for a long second, too stunned by the whole story to speak.
Harry rubbed his eyes. "You mean Callan Quinn, is Ryan’s biological child? I think I’m going to have a headache."
"You think? I already have one. Also, Jamal just informed me that Callan is trying to find Karen and wants me to tell him where she is." Tom explained what Jamal had told him.
"Did you tell him where she is?" Harry asked, and Tom realized he had not told Harry the rest of it.
Tom picked up his cup of coffee. "Ryan shot her. She’s in a critical state but receiving treatment. And no, I haven’t told him."
