Tiana turned around noticing that he was no longer beside him. Although she had been trying to hide the fact that she was nervous, her clothes drenched in sweat had already betrayed her.
It was really unfair to Jeremy. However, Tiana had no choice other than to make him the scapegoat. Austin had already come crashing and demanded an explanation. The thing with Jeremy was the only leverage she had.
Back then, there was already a marriage in the works between Jeremy and her. All of the neighbors had already assumed that she was Jeremy's fiance and the child belonged to him too. Even if Austin began investigating the matter, he wouldn't find anything otherwise.
Austin immediately instructed Joseph to verify everything Tiana said. And the result he got was indeed in line with Tiana's statement. She was going to get married to Jeremy, and the only thing that stopped them was Jeremy's heroic death.
