In those summer conversations, Jason found himself opening up about Susan, voicing his discomfort with her presence in their lives. He confided in Thomas how he couldn’t bear the thought of Susan replacing his mother. Those talks often ended with Jason feeling a mix of anger and helplessness, emotions he couldn’t fully express at home.
One night, under a starlit sky, Thomas shared a story about Susan that Jason couldn’t shake off. Thomas revealed he had done some digging and found out Susan had a history of being involved with wealthy men. This revelation struck a chord with Jason, particularly considering his father’s substantial inheritance. The idea that Susan might be after his dad’s money didn’t seem far-fetched anymore.
