Chapter 314 

Hayden’s eyes narrowed, and I instinctively gripped him tighter. “Is it true?” 

“Why would you think that?‘ he countered. 

I was about to mention Lindey when, out of nowhere, Yuna’s voice called from a distance, “Keira, your phone’s been ringing nonstop!” 

She was hurrying over, despite her heart condition. She wasn’t supposed to be running. 

“Okay, I got it!” I quickly jumped off Hayden’s lap and rushed over to her. 

It was Lindey calling–multiple times. Something had to be up. 

“Lindey?” I answered immediately. 

“Rea, why haven’t you been picking up? I thought something happened!” Her voice was laced with panic. 

“No, I just didn’t have my phone on me.” 

She let out a relieved breath. “You scared me. I was imagining the worst.” 

‘Til keep it with me next time,” I promised before asking, “What’s going on?” 

“I’m furious!” Lindey’s voice came out sharp and full of anger. 

I couldn’t help but smile. “Who got you mad this time? Matthew?” 

“If it were him, I’d knock some sense into him! No, It’s Jace.” 

I sighed. Lena was right–no matter how over things were between Jace and me, as long as I stayed connected to the Johnston family, his name would keep finding its way back into 

my life. 

“What did he do now?” I asked, playing along. 

“He’s cut us off because of Tanya Twain! Now, he’s just… gone,” Lindey fumed, her voice shaking with 

frustration. 

But Falready knew from Wayne that it was Matthew who cut ties with Jace. 

I knew why things had escalated to this point, so I didn’t push for details. “Lindey, he’s probably just mad. Give him time.” 

“It’s not like that,” she snapped. “He’s told Wayne everything. He’s not coming back. He’s done with the Johnston family.” 

My brow furrowed. “What did he say?” 

“He told Wayne to take care of us because he can’t anymore. He even handed over the company to him, And get this–he wants Wayne to look after you too. Can you believe that?” 

“He’s acting like this is goodbye forever, like he’s walking out on all of us,” she spat, clearly hurt. 

I wasn’t sure how to respond. This was their family business, and I didn’t want to get sucked into the 

drama. But something Hayden had said earlier made me think there was more to the story. “Lindey, maybe there’s something else going on,” I suggested carefully.

She didn’t seem to pick up on my hint. “What could be going on? He Just wants to marry that widow who’s carrying someone else’s baby!” 

That left me speechless. 

“Jace thinks he can manipulate us with this stunt, but I won’t fall for it. If he wants to leave, fine. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t have a son anymore,” Lindey declared, her voice hard with anger.
