Finally, Benny hopped out of his cab at a club.
Flossie frowned.
She didn’t exit until he entered.
Eager to follow, she was halted by a stern guard at the door of the establishment.
“I’m sorry, ma’am.
I must see your membership card, please,” he demanded.
Disheartened, she considered pleading, but the guard’s icy stare squashed that idea.
Crestfallen, she turned away.
Then suddenly, she remembered Benny’s wallet.
Recalling that Edmund had acquired a membership for Benny, she rummaged through the wallet.
There it was.
Handing the membership card over, she asked, “Can I please enter now?”
The guard’s attitude flipped entirely and he grew very respectful.
“Absolutely, please, head right this way.

Seeing him enter a VIP room, she halted in front of the door, straining to eavesdrop.
The door wasn’t soundproof.

This was Edmund.
So, Benny hade to see Edmund, but why the golf lie?
Edmund’s icy voice rang out.
“He’s got someone snooping around.

Fear crept in.
Had Benny tangled in something shady, keeping her in the dark?
Edmund’s warning echoed once more.
“I’m not concerned for your safety but our n cannot be jeopardized.
Remember, Flossie’s my only daughter!”
Upon hearing Edmund’s words, Flossie stood frozen, her mind a whirlwind of disbelief and confusion.
At that moment, the world around her seemed to blur, drowning out any other sound or sensation.
All she could grasp was the revtion that Edmund had just uttered-that she was his daughter.
She had a sudden realization.
It all made sense now.
Edmund had been helping her since they first met for a reason.
