Silas snapped his head up, stunned at the revelation. "Colton did that?" he exclaimed, his eyes filled with confusion and anger.
"Yes," Ewan confirmed. "David had no idea you existed. If it hadn't been for Colton, he would have never found out about you. How that conniving snake unearthed the truth, I don't know. I did everything in my power to keep it buried, but he weaseled it out regardless."
Frustration twisted Ewan's features. He blamed himself for it. If only he had been more vigilant, he thought the truth would never have come to Colton or anyone else.
"He did all this just to force a marriage between me and Lara?" Silas echoed, incredulity coloring his tone. "Why was he so desperate? The Sullivans have been helping them in every way. Why resort to such underhanded tactics?"
Victoria suddenly remembered Colton's disturbing confession. A wave of disgust washed over her, tightening her gut.
