Hey, it's Stephanie, back with a bonus episode.

We talked in episode three about the many emails Clayton received from Laura Owens during the summer of 2023.

and let me know where you scheduled and I'll pay. Throughout this entire LO file, I don't see one

email of you refusing to take a paternity test. I know you really wanted to take the paternity test

based on what I was

seeing in the emails. So I found something in the emails that might explain why Laura said you were
