Jayden nodded. “He lost his dad when he was just a kid. He had to fight tooth and nail to survive, to protect
himself and his mom. That's why he’s the only one in our generation who ever swore loyalty to our grandpa.”
“That explains a lot,” Elyse said softly.
Jayden continued, “No one ever celebrated my birthday when I lived with my grandpa. But Brook somehow found

“What happened next?” Elyse asked.

this.”
“Don’t worry about her,” Jayden said dismissively. “Her family has completely brainwashed her. She's beyond
help now, and the one person who truly loved her is gone—she’s on her own.”
Elyse blinked, confusion flickering across her face. “But aren't her parents the ones who love her most?”
