“Amelia had an affair with Johnny,” I answered.
“I’ll kill him,” Max growled.
“Only after Johnny showed Amelia proof that Dexter was cheating on her too.”
And with that I watched the fight leave Max’s body to be replaced with confusion. He had no snappy comeback.
“You sure?” he asked.
“Amelia confronted Dexter, and she says they worked through it. She thought it was a one-time deal, but Johnny sent her a file with questionable pictures.”
“What the hell are these two doing getting married?” Max’s face turned to stone as the words left his lips.
That was the question, wasn’t it? “It’s not our business. I understand wanting to protect the people you love. I think the call to the media was her attempt to try to hold onto Dexter.”
“You think she sent them the death threats?”
I shook my head. “No, I think the stalker did, and I believe whoever it is has been in Carter’s house.”
“You think it’s Johnny?” he asked.
“I don’t know, but I’m going to find out.” I called the office and got Johnny’s address. “If you don’t think you can keep your cool, I need you to get out now and let me handle it.”
“You think I’d hurt him?”
“To protect your sister and Petunia, I know you would.”
“How could you possibly know that?” he asked.
“Because if it were my family, I’d do the same.”
