Kelsey wanders closer. "But Simon opened your eyes to something none of us would've seen?"
"The first indicator was when Botan was at my house. But at that time, I didn't know who he was. With everything that was going down with Haru and this 'debt' my father owes. He served us this lie about coercion."
Kelsey comes close and releases an explosive sigh as she plops down beside me. "It's unbelievable that your father's childhood friend is a Yakuza boss. I mean—I just—don't know what to believe."
I drop back down on my back so I can look up at her. "Me neither. Which is why I want to find out the truth about it all—his relationship with Haru, the alliance and the Vacherons' involvement. I'm guessing there is a history there that was conveniently left out."
