Everyone in the room fell silent. They had assumed this was just a sordid drama about a cheating scumbag—two-timing his wife, having a child with his mistress, and betraying the woman he married. They never imagined there were so many twists and turns to the story.
For a moment, none of them could figure out who was right and who was wrong. No wonder Mr. Lewis had called the matter disgraceful. If it were them, they would probably be even more reluctant to bring it up.

"I remember you telling me that you and your younger brother grew up together. If you weren't born to the same mother, why did you live together?"
By the time Ms. Cain met her husband, her mother-in-law had been dead for a long time, so they had never lived under the same roof.
