Aren't You the One Who...?

IT SEEMED THAT EVERYBODY BELIEVED HE KILLED HIS SISTER. BUT SOME BELIEVED HE WAS ININOCEN'

Among those who believed in Matt's innocence was Lieutenant Ryder. True, he gave Matt a rough time while he was investigating the case, but in the end he had come to believe in Matt. And because Matt was an orphan, the Ryders invited him to come live with them. They all loved Matt, but the world outside was full of people who jeered at him. "Aren't you the one, the one who...?"

What he was not prepared for was the friendship of the Schuyler family. He was terrified they would turn away from him if they knew who he really was. But the Schuylers had more surprises for him than he did for them.
