Chapter 12 - 12: The liar and her lies.
It was for this exact reason that Ruthie wanted to send Phoebe as far away as possible. She knew that although the red haired woman had changed her last name, it was just a matter of time before a Saxon discovered who she was. Her only prayer was that Phoebe insisted that she wasn't the woman David was obsessed with.
"Child please am still waiting to get an answer from you and it better be convincing. How long have you known about this Phoebe?" Grandma Saxon was not backing down.
The old woman's frown only got deeper with each passing minute. She was beginning to realize that Ruth Mayfair had been lying to her about something important for a while now.

Ruth hurriedly walked to the old woman and intertwined her arm into the old woman's.
"Grandma I told you that woman doesn't exist." She triumphantly stated and she rushed the elderly woman out of the cafe.
