Darcie closed her eyes and did not move. She simply asked, “Where are we going?”

Alijah replied, “Anywhere. Wenham’s biological daughter has been recognized, so it’s only a matter of time before they investigate what happened back then. We need to leave the country and find a place to start over. The money we have now is enough for Jaylene to live comfortably for the rest of her life. We don’t need to live on the edge anymore.”

Darcie withdrew her hand, “After all these years, you’re still so naive. You have money, but what about status and connections? Are we going through all this trouble just for a small amount of money? The money will eventually run out. When that happens, what will Jaylene have to rely on?”
