Morgan Sterling's mother, Jacqueline Vaughn, had originally been a mistress who schemed her way up. His father, Thomas Sterling, already had a fiancée, but he couldn't control his urges, and Jacqueline schemed to get pregnant.
At first, the Sterling Family had no intention of letting her marry in. But when the fiancée's family found out, they took a hard stance and insisted on calling off the engagement.
After much negotiation between all parties, the matter was handled with a fair degree of discretion. Few people knew the truth, aside from the older generation and a handful of insiders. So, Morgan Sterling couldn't have missed the teasing in Asher Keating's voice earlier—he knew that Asher was aware of the scandal.
Morgan Sterling was silent on the other end for a moment before chuckling. "Well then, congratulations to you both. It's always great when lovers get their happy ending."
"Thanks."
