"But compared to Rena's ardent passion, Wayne has always been much colder. He never once accepted her advances, not even after she wasted her youth waiting for him into her forties. He never showed any sign of yielding."
"However, Rena has spent all these years painstakingly currying favor with Mrs. Austin Sr., so the old matriarch has a very good impression of her and has always wanted Wayne to marry her."
Anastasia asked, "This Mr. Wayne isn't married either? How old is he?"
Thinking of Barnett's age, she couldn't help but wonder if Rena was interested in a younger man.
But Logan said, "Wayne is the same age as Rena, forty-three this year. He's also unmarried, but he has two children."
"Two children?" Anastasia was surprised.
Logan nodded. "Fraternal twins, a son named Hans Austin and a daughter named Joanna Austin. They're about to turn twenty-one. Wayne brought them home as newborns from outside the family. No one knows who their mother is, but the Austin family did a paternity test, and they are indeed Wayne's biological children."
The situation was quite complicated.
Anastasia shook her head, suppressing the urge to gossip further. "Keep investigating the Jones family," she said. "Focus on Rena and Colby. I need to know if they were responsible for my mother's death!"
Now that she had a lead, maybe she could try to sound out Nora?
Acting on the thought, Anastasia immediately made time to meet with Nora.
Unfortunately, Nora had none of the information she wanted. She didn't even know the Jones family was behind it.
With no immediate progress, Anastasia didn't rush. She had waited for so many years; a little longer wouldn't matter.
She waited patiently for news about the Jones family.
