"Did that Porter woman really donate a kidney to your mother?" Remington asked, looking at Jerome.
When Remington first read Eartha's file and saw that she had donated a kidney to Elsa, he had found it highly unusual.
While the Porter family wasn't quite on the Madden family's level in Tranquil Meadows, they were still a prominent, wealthy household.
Mr. Porter had built his empire alongside Nelson, and Nelson had always taken good care of the Porters.
Eartha was a wealthy heiress in her own right. For a woman of her status to willingly donate an organ to someone she wasn't blood-related to was unheard of.
Either it was a case of unimaginably profound sisterhood, or Eartha was playing an exceptionally long, calculating game.
Looking at the aftermath—Elsa passing away prematurely, Eartha taking over Elsa's company, and seamlessly slipping into the roles of wife and mother to Elsa's family—it was clear Eartha's payout had been massive.
But Nelson was not a man who could be easily fooled.
Lizetta stared intensely at Jerome; this was a question she had been dying to ask as well.
"Yes, she absolutely donated a kidney to Elsa."
Jerome's answer was firm.
"Is it possible she faked it? Could she have found a matching kidney on the black market, bribed the surgeons, and just put on a show?"
Lizetta couldn't shake the theory.
She found it impossible to believe that a woman who would ultimately sleep with her best friend's husband would sacrifice an organ to save her.
