Sephina stood fuming, her anger now directed at Albert. "Who is that man she married? How dare he insult us? And you, you support him?"
Albert remained quiet, choosing not to engage. "I need to sleep," he muttered, his mind already set on sneaking out later to visit Natalie instead of wasting energy arguing with his stubborn wife. He needed to save his strength.
"Always the same excuse when you want to avoid my questions," Sephina spat, frustrated by his silence.
Sephina turned to Jay. "What's the name of her husband?"
Jay shrugged. "Mother, I don't even remember. I didn't bother looking at her marriage certificate."
"Aiden Handrix," Clara finally spoke up, breaking her silence. "I remember that name. It was on her marriage certificate, and I've seen his picture on it as well."
"Aiden Handrix?" Sephina repeated, her teeth gritted in anger. "Jay, I want you to find out everything about him. Where he comes from, what he does—everything."
