"I remember my sister and Mr. Blackwood were childhood sweethearts.

Gennifer's eyes flashed with a surge of elation that she quickly suppressed, her subsequent movements becoming even more contrived. "How could you not? Mr. Cunningham, I thought you and my sister were…"

Sylas shot her a cold glare, and Gennifer immediately fell silent. But she didn't seem defeated; instead, she appeared to be gathering herself for another push. "Since you don't want to tell my sister, Mr. Cunningham, I'd be happy to help. Actually, Mr. Blackwood and I grew up together too." She offered a bashful smile and took a bold step forward.

This time, Sylas didn't back away.

The smile on Gennifer's lips widened…
