"So yes, something happened. And yes, Jerry is hiding something about his mother's death. I've made peace with the fact that I may never know. But you… if he ever opens up to you if he ever tells you, please listen carefully. Because whatever it is… it changed him."
Abigail listened silently, her expression tense. She could feel the weight of the truth Rebecca was trying to share with her, not all of it spoken, but heavily implied.
Rebecca continued, "Yoli wasn't just any woman. She was a force. A real icon in the business world. Respected by men and women alike. Her investments, her strategies… even her kindness. People looked up to her. She built something powerful, something solid. She wasn't just a mother. She was a pillar. And when she passed, it shook a lot of things."
Rebecca exhaled sharply and then said, "That's all I can tell you about Jerry's mother. But now… let's talk about his father."
