If Carla was lying, she was very, very good at it.
According to Harper, Jolene had sent her to live with Lucian when she was four. Was it possible that Jolene had done that to keep her out of Carla's reach?
"Soon after that, I met Bray and we eventually had our sons. My focus had to be on them."
"In short, you're saying that if Jolene and Lucian hadn't tried to come between you and Harper, you would have been a mother to her?"
"Yes, of course."
"Hmm. She's been in Vegas without Lucian since she was eighteen. Yet you've made no effort at all to see her. That strikes me as odd for someone who claims to be so unhappy about not having their daughter in their life."
"I thought about going to see her, but I knew Jolene and Lucian had filled her head with a pack of lies. I worried that she'd slam the door in my face. I don't think I could take that."
Carla swallowed hard, the image of an emotional mess.
