Bone-deep hatred? Not at all far-fetched, many times Aria Grant has wanted to skin George Flack alive.
"You said my sister asked you to protect me? When was this?" Aria Grant pressed, wanting to know more details.
George Flack lowered his head at that moment, seeming a little reluctant to recall, but finally said: "Just before your sister had her accident, she found me and asked me to protect you and hoped you would not get involved in the family matters. I realized then that she was trying to protect you, but I didn't expect the accident to happen so quickly, and she left without any warning."
Aria Grant had a hard time accepting this. Yes, she had known all along that George Flack was the last person to see her sister, and she had been investigating it all this time just to find out what they had said during that last encounter. But Aria Grant could not accept what George Flack was saying now. Did her sister meet him just to entrust me to his care?
