Skylar Hayes didn't say anything, and Marcus Jarvis continued, "I know you were a little upset just now when I said I'd help Jean no matter what. But she's my cousin, my family, after all. It's a bit awkward when your good friend marries your ex-husband..."
"It's not just awkward!" Skylar Hayes suddenly cut him off. "I never told you this before, but Jean Jarvis... she got together with Cedric Grant over twenty years ago. And their daughter is only a few months younger than Clara.
Back then, she was my best friend. She knew full well that Cedric Grant was my husband, yet she still chose to be with him and have his child.
And they played me for a fool, deceiving me for more than twenty years. I only found out the truth last year. So, how do you think I feel when I see them?
I didn't know your connection to Jean Jarvis before, but now that I do, I can't possibly interact with you as openly as I used to, without any reservations."
