Suspicious Text

After Lisa left her sisters in the hospital, Tiffany and Bernice sat in silence, both filled with thoughts of their own, until Bernice sighed.

"Why did you bring Jack here? How can you stand seeing us together after what we did to you?" Bernice asked in confusion.

"Jack might have his flaws, Benny, but he isn't a bad person. I know he is nothing like Ron, but I can't blame him. I'm sure Ron would have been just like Jack had he been forced to marry someone he knew nothing about…."

"I never said he was a bad person, Tiff. And now that you mentioned it, this makes me wonder why he was forced to marry you. I mean, what did his father stand to gain from the marriage?" Bernice asked, and Tiffany's eyes narrowed.

"I don't know. I never thought about it or asked mother. Do you think mother blackmailed Jack's father into making Jack marry me?" Tiffany asked with a worried frown, and Bernice shook her head.
