"She must be sweet" said Grandma Gadon

"Oh! She is"

"Grandma Gadon " someone called from behind, and they both turn to see two women, one is a lady in her mid twenties while the other his probably in her early or mid forties. Seeing them Lola eyes widen a little in surprise but her expression quickly hardened as she Stare at them with hatred. Grandma Gadon had a brow furrowed as she Stare at them trying to remember who they are.

Seeing the expression of Grandma Gadon, Mrs Railey Toby could tell she doesn't remember who her and her daughter Penellope are.

"I'm Railey Toby, Mrs Gadon, the wife of Tade Toby the patriarch of the Toby family, and this is my daughter Penellope " she introduced herself and her daughter.

But instead of Grandma Gandon to recognise her, her frown only deepened in confusion.

"Isn't Helen the name of Tade Toby's wife?" Grandma Gandon asked in confusion, unknowingly to her mentioning the name Helen evoke some buried emotions from Lola who was standing by her side.

"Oh! Grandma Gadon. You are right my husband first wife was Helen, but she was a cheater and even got pregnant for her concubine claiming it's my husband's child, so my husband divorced her and married me, shortly after she died " Railey explained to Grandma Gandon with a evil smirk while taking a sneak glance at Lola who is foaming in anger.

"Really? Why didn't I hear anything about that." Asked Grandma Gandon, now interested in the topic.

"That because she is a liar" Lola cut In, surprising Grandma Gadon.

"You know about it too?" Grandma Gandon asked in surprise.

"Of course she does, she is the bastard child Helen had and pretend it was my husband's" said Penellope standing beside her mother.

Grandma Gandon got more confused as her eyes dart around the three women who are starting daggers at each other.

"Can someone explained what's going on?" Demanded Grandma Gadon.

"My apologies Grandma Gadon, but this girl" Railey start pointing at Lola "is a liar and manipulative like her mother, so we've come to warn you so as to not fall into one of her trap"

"Are you telling me I'm too dump to notice when someone as an ill intentions towards me?" Grandma Gadon asked accusingly

Surprised by Grandma Gadon accusation, Railey tried to explain. "I didn't mean it that way Grandma Gadon, my daughter and I are just looking out for you"

"Thank you, but I have enough people to look out for me" Grandma Gadon said shunning them. "Now you can leave " she added.

Bothe the mother and daughter were surprised by the turn of events, they left dragging their legs in embarrassment.

"What they said are not true Grandma Gadon. It's true I'm not Tade Toby's daughter, but my mother was already pregnant with me when she married him, which she told him and he promised to be the father of her child. But things changed when Railey came Into his life, she and her daughter are the devil" Lola explained in one breath, afraid Grandma Gadon might believe them.

Grandma Gadon smiled sweetly at her then cup Lola's cheeks with her hand.

"You don't have to explain anything to me Lola, I can already tell the kind of person they are with the few exchange of word" Said Grandma Gadon making Lola smiled in relief.

Jimi who was standing by the corner listening and watching the whole events, brought out his phone and sent a text to Gad explaining the incident.
