Chapter 333
After recalling it... Why did Kimberly agree to get in the car with Juliette?
Earlier, Kimberly was with Vera. Even if Kimberly wanted to leave, she should go to Vera's houseand not... The Hanover family's home.novelbin
"Mr. Hanover went to the office to deal with some work. He'll be back in an hour or so. Miss Shell,you can have a good rest until he comes back."
"No, I need to go." Kimberly stood up. Sylvia was not at home and they were no longer best friends.Kimberly felt awkward if she stayed.
After that, Kimberly bowed to Juliette and continued, "Thank you for your help, Secretary Sharpio.Please tell Mr. Hanover that I appreciate it. My friend is still waiting for me, so I have to go."
Juliette put on a faint smile.
"Are you sure you want to leave? Mr. Hanover probably has something to tell you."
Kimberly was taken aback. "Tell me what?"
"Well, it's quite... important." Juliette was unsure if she should spill the beans. Would it be too fast?Why did Quil have to tend to some emergency in the office? He planned to tell Kimberly the truthwhen she was in a better mood.
"Important..." Kimberly lowered her head and paused for a moment. Something dawned on her andshe looked up again. She added, "I know what you're going to say."
"Huh?" Juliette was a little surprised. "You know what we're going to tell you?"
Kimberly looked indifferent. "I used to be friends with Sylvia but... Things haven't been working outfor us. In the future..."
"Huh?" Juliette was extremely shocked. "What happened? Did you find out something?"
Kimberly suddenly raised her head and stared at Juliette in disbelief.
Did they know? Therefore, Quill found Kimberly to discuss it with her? Without a doubt, Kimberlywas sure that Quill would side with Sylvia.
Even if Sylvia was at fault, they were a family. Quill... probably wanted to ask Kimberly to leave,right?
Kimberly bit her lips forcefully and answered, "I appreciate what Mr. Hanover did today. However, Idon't think we have anything to talk about. I won't give in."
Juliette was a little confused. She thought that Kimberly had discovered her own identity. Yet, afterhearing what Kimberly had to say... Kimberly seemed to be talking about something else.
Putting aside Kimberly's true identity, did Kimberly and Sylvia have a bigger conflict? Was that whythey were no longer friends?
"Hm... Well, Miss Shell, I'm sorry if I'm being rude but what happened between you and Sylvia?"
Kimberly went blank. She stared at Juliette incredulously and asked, "You don't know?" "Miss Shell,why would I know about it..."
"You just said that Mr. Hanover has something to tell me, right? I thought..."
"Miss Shell, I see that there has been a misunderstanding. Mr. Hanover is going to discusssomething else with you. It's probably something different from what you have in mind. However... It
does have something to do with you and Sylvia."
Kimberly was confused. It was about her and Sylvia? Yet, it was not the problem she had in mind?What was it?
Kimberly was not expecting that but she... did not want to know.
No matter what, she would never be able to get along with Sylvia in the future.
Kimberly concluded, "Forget it. No matter what it is, I'm not interested. Thank you for today, but Ihave to leave."
Kimberly turned around to leave. Juliette was anxious when Kimberly had no intention of staying. Itwas difficult to get Kimberly to come along. Would she meet them next time?
Juliette could not help but asked hurriedly, "Miss Shell, you've been with the Shell family for so longnow. Yet, have you ever doubted your own identity?"
Kimberly stopped dead in her tracks.
She turned over her shoulder to stare at Juliette. "What do you mean by that?"
Juliette's remarks caught Kimberly's attention. Therefore, it was a good chance to explain it toKimberly. Juliette explained frankly, "Throughout the years, you did not live a good life in the Shellfamily. Your mother always favored Erica while you played the part of a good elder sister. Yourmother even made you take your sister's place when she refused to get married. After goingthrough all those unfair treatments, have you never questioned your real identity?"
Kimberly was at a loss for words.
Back then, she did suspect that she was not a biological daughter.
After what her mother did, she tried asking her mother about it. Back then, her mother's facedarkened and she scolded Kimberly.
Yet, Kimberly only thought about it but she did not look into it.
After all, her parents raised her. Although she went through a lot, but most of the time, she felt thewarmth of a family. Moreover, she was the elder sister.... Therefore, she had to take care of heryounger sister.
Naturally, she imagined that if she was the youngest in the family, then her mother would treat herlike how she treated Erica too.
Kimberly felt a lot better at the thought of that.
Therefore, she never looked into it.
Yet, after Juliette brought it up, Kimberly suddenly realized... Were things not the way they seemed?
"Miss Shell, has it never occurred to you? Perhaps... You're not their biological daughter?"
Kimberly was rooted to the spot. She stumbled backwards and leaned against the table behind her.Juliette went up to tug Kimberly's arm. "Let's sit, Miss Shell. We have a lot to talk about."
Kimberly walked to the sofa like a puppet. After sitting down, Kimberly suddenly recalled the strangeremarks Quill told her not long ago. At the restaurant, Quill sent Sarah and George away to speakwith Kimberly.
Quill said that he was looking for someone but he could not find her.
He even showed her the picture of the baby and the peace pendant.
Furthermore, he seemed hesitant when he spoke and Kimberly always felt that... She seemed tohave understood a little.
"Miss Shell, are you okay? It's very important and initially... I wanted to wait for Mr. Hanover to tellyou in person. After all... Miss Shell, you're his family. It's better for him to tell you about it."
Family...
Kimberly widened her eyes.
She was related to Quill?
"However, Miss Shell, you insisted on leaving, so I had no choice but to inform you about it. It wouldmake things easier for Mr. Hanover too. Miss Shell, I'll be frank. You're not the daughter of the Shellfamily. Over twenty years ago, Mrs. Hanover gave birth to you."
