Then Linda Defended Madison

That was the moment everything turned uglier.

Linda said:

“Madison didn’t create this situation alone.”

Claire replied:

“I know. Your son did.”

Linda continued:

“And there’s another child involved now.”

Claire stared at her.

“What exactly are you saying?”

Linda hesitated.

“Both babies are my grandchildren.”

Claire went completely still.

Jenna whispered:

“Oh, absolutely not.”

Linda raised her hands.

“I’m stating a fact.”

Claire replied:

“At my baby shower?”

Madison Suddenly Realized Something Too

She looked at Linda.

“You told me Claire already knew.”

Now it was Linda’s turn to freeze.

Claire looked between them.

“What?”

Madison said:

“When Evan stopped answering me, I contacted Linda.”

Evan turned toward his mother.

“Mom?”

Madison continued:

“She said Claire knew there had been problems and everyone was trying to keep things calm until after the baby came.”

Claire looked at Linda.

“You lied to her too?”

Linda immediately said:

“That’s not how I said it.”

Madison pulled out her phone.

“I have the texts.”
