To say that Mei Jiang was shocked would be an understatement. Her hands balled into fists, shaking slightly.
"You're joking with me, right?" She asked, eyes flickering between Irene and Ezekiel.
"No," He said, stepping closer to her and glancing at Genevieve who had a death stare in place. "These two women here, Irene and Genevieve, they're your best friend's granddaughters."
"That's not possible," She said, "Rose died - "
"She didn't," Irene said finally, breaking her silence. "She went into hiding after my grandfather died. She didn't want anyone to know she survived."
"Our father died soon after," Genevieve continued after getting a nod from Irene. "Someone set a fire to our house that same day but grandmother managed to get us out without anyone knowing. She raised us on her own since then."
