Female Novel
Chapter 334
Kimberly was in a daze as she stared at Juliette. When Kimberly heard Juliette, her body seemed tobe unable to accept the truth. She was in denial and her mind went blank.
After a while, Kimberly's face turned pale.
"What... What are you talking about?"
"I know it's difficult for anyone to accept this. However, I'm telling you the truth. Miss Shell... You'reMrs. Hanover's biological daughter. The Hanover family has been looking for you."
"Then... What about Sylvia? You guys were..."
"Well, this is the other problem. Sylvia probably knew your real identity by chance so sheapproached you. She got some information from you and forged some evidence. Mr. Hanover wasanxious to find his sister. After so many years, his subordinates knew that he was anxious.Therefore, everyone was so anxious that they made a mistake."
Kimberly's lips turned pale.
Back then... Vera whispered something to her.
"Maybe Sylvia had some ulterior motives when she became your good friend in college?"
Initially, Kimberly wanted to cherish her friendship but... Was everything not as it seemed?
No... That was impossible. Kimberly shook her head weakly and spoke in a choked voice, "No... Didyou guys make a mistake? After all, I've known Sylvia for so long. If you guys made a blunder, thenyou should have known about it from the start."
"Unfortunately, we didn't know about it. However, I can assure you that there's no problem with youridentity. Mrs. Shell confessed everything."
Bang!
Something seemed to have smashed Kimberly's heart.
Her mother confessed everything? What did her mother confess? Did her mother admit that shewas not the biological daughter of the Shell family? Therefore... Therefore, her mother alwaysfavored Erica over her. Was that the reason behind it?
"Well, after Mr. Hanover found Sylvia, he was quite indifferent to Sylvia. Although she fulfilled all theconditions but... He seemed to sense that something was off. It's very peculiar but it's said that youcan feel it if you're related by blood. Mr. Hanover had a nagging feeling about Sylvia and she didn'tfeel like his sister. However, she met all the conditions, thus Mr. Hanover did not look into it until...He met you in the restaurant previously."
"Speaking about that, let me show you something, Miss Shell." Juliette got up and added, "MissShell, please follow me. You will understand when you see it."
Kimberly tailed Juliette slowly. They went upstairs with the elevator. Along the way, everything feltlike a dream as Kimberly glanced at the majestic interior around her. Finally, Juliette stopped in frontof a room.
She took out a key from her bag and unlocked the room.
The room had always been locked. That day, Quill handed the key to Juliette just in case. Juliettewould be able to enter the room if she needed to.
She never expected it to come in handy. Juliette went in and Kimberly followed her.
The room was cleaned routinely, hence it was spotless. It was bright and everything was arrangedneatly.
However... The dry smell in the air hinted that the room had been unoccupied for a long time.
It was an unfamiliar scent...
As Kimberly walked in, she went blank when she spotted a huge photo on the wall.
There was a woman in a long blue dress in the photo. Her waist- length dark hair hung over hershoulder. The train of the blue dress accentuated her slender figure. The ocean reflected themoonlight behind her. The surface of the ocean turned silver due to the moonlight. The faint lightoutlined her facial features and made her look flawless.
The woman had a faint smile and her eyes were cold.
It was similar to the ocean behind her. Although she was beautiful, she felt cold and emotionless.
Inexplicably, Kimberly felt like she was staring at her own reflection in the mirror. Those eyes...looked like hers...
"Mrs. Hanover used to live here," Juliette suddenly stated.
Kimberly was taken aback and she bit her lower lip.novelbin
"Did you feel like you're staring at yourself when you look at the photo?" Juliette suddenly laughedsoftly, "To be honest, when I first met you at the airport, you were wearing a blue dress too. Mrs.Hanover used to love blue so her wardrobe mostly consisted of blue clothes. She liked the sea aswell. Back then, I've never seen Mrs. Hanover's photo, so... I don't know why Mr. Hanover acted likethat when he saw you, Miss Shell. Later... After I knew the truth and saw Mrs. Hanover's photos, I
realized that you resembled Mrs. Hanover. Especially your eyes and your temperament... This is thebest evidence."
Kimberly did not answer. Back then, she never met Quill because she never had the chance to.
Even if Kimberly suggested that she wanted to thank Quill and treat him to dinner, Sylvia would bevery flustered and tell her that Quill was busy.
Later, it was a coincidence that she had the chance to meet Quill and discussed work.
Evidently... Sylvia saw Mrs. Hanover's photos, hence Sylvia knew the truth.
Was that why Sylvia did not want her to meet Quill?
Back then, Kimberly could not figure out a lot of things. Yet, after knowing the truth, she finally foundher answers.
It was frightening. To her dismay, Sylvia had been doing all of this behind her back. However,Kimberly was so silly and was being kept in the dark the entire time.
"Miss Shell, I know it's hard for you to accept this, but it's true that the Hanover family has beenlooking for you. Mr. Hanover was supposed to tell you about it. Later..."
"Can I go back?" Kimberly suddenly asked.
Juliette was taken aback.
"Never mind, could you leave me alone?"
There was too much going on. Kimberly's head was in a mess and she could not calm down. Shecould not figure out what was going on. Why did it turn out like this...
She needed to be on her own and sort out everything.
Naturally, Juliette knew Kimberly's dilemma. Juliette nodded and replied, "Of course, you can stayhere. I'll go downstairs now. Mr. Hanover will come back soon and I'll bring him to you later."
"Thank you." Kimberly thanked Juliette and the latter turned to leave.
