Chapter 1496:
After a weighted silence, Zack's resistance crumbled. “I had those three cars investigated,” he confessed,
choosing his words carefully. “The information points to one person behind it all: Dewey—Corrine’s father.”
The bombshell left Moses visibly stunned.
“Her own father?” he finally breathed, disbelief etched across his features.

Moses watched them leave with raised eyebrows. “What's going on? Did those two have a fight?”
