Ch. 396..400: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 396-400

Chapter 396: So Much Like Her Old Friend

"Bitch, don't pretend to be dead!"

Wendy's face completely darkened when she saw how Emily fell down to the ground.

She just pulled her. How could it make her faint?

"Bitch, get up!" Wendy stretched out her foot and kicked Emily's leg.noveldrama

Emily still did not react.

Wendy didn't believe it. She raised her spiky high heel and stamped on Emily's leg hard.

This time, Emily finally reacted and snorted.

"Bitch, you're pretending! Get up, or I'll kill you!"

Wendy kicked her again. Emily finally opened her eyes slightly.

Her legs hurt with a searing pain.

However, her heart ached even more! The pain made her stomach churn.

She suddenly turned sideways and retched.

Wendy hated this woman's pretense.

Seeing her retching, she sneered, "Mr. Hunter and grandfather are not here. Who do you show pity to?"

Emily had really fainted just now. But now, she was completely awake.

"Bitch ..."

"If you do this one more time, I will shout."

Emily glared at her and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She struggled and got up. Her leg hurt. It seemed hurt.

Wendy wanted to continue with the kicking. But it wouldn't do her any good if this bitch cried out.

She didn't know whom Emily was speaking to on the phone. She seemed to be desperate.

Wendy was curious. Did this have anything to do with her?

However, Emily didn't want to pay attention to her anymore. Right now, she didn't feel like it at all.

It turned out that everything she had thought was just her own extravagant hopes. What exactly was she hanging on to?

No, Patriarch Gale was not her grandfather. Wendy was the granddaughter of the Gale family.

She, a completely unrelated person, actually wanted to steal everything from others ...

Emily turned around and left. Wendy wanted to catch up.

However, Emily's despondent appearance made her feel very bored.

Hunter was still in the hall. It was rare for him to treat her so gently today. Now, she wished she could return to him immediately.

Wendy took out her phone and dialed a number without being noticed.

"Emily has come to City L. Now, she is living in the Gale's. Think of a way. I'm afraid we can't hide this."

"Or, why don't we ... kill her?"

Emily walked by the lake and sat under the shade of a tree.

She looked at the surface of the lake and felt a little upset.

Her mind was a blank. She didn't know what she was thinking. She just looked at the calm lake and was dumbfounded.

After sitting alone for an unknown stretch of time, Emily heaved a sigh of relief and stood up again.

Since she was wrong, there was no need to prove anything else.

Wendy was the granddaughter of Patriarch Gale. Although Emily did not have a good impression of that bad woman, at least Wendy did not lie to Patriarch Gale.

As long as Patriarch Gale wasn't tricked, that was enough. She didn't have to worry too much.

Just as she turned around and was about to return to the main room, her stomach suddenly felt unwell.

Emily covered her lips and endured for a long time. But she finally couldn't endure it. She supported the tree trunk and retched.

Emily vomited.

How uncomfortable! The most terrifying thing was why was this feeling of retching So ... familiar?

"What's wrong with you?"

A woman walked over from behind and came to Emily's side, patting her back. Emily finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the woman, "Thank ... you."

But the woman stared at her face in surprise.

"You..." How could this be? She seemed to see someone she had known for many years!

Lottie gently shook her head. Then she looked at Emily again and suddenly remembered that she was only an eighteen or nineteen year old girl.

At this age, she was naturally not her old friend.

Moreover, her old friend had already been dead.

"You... know me?" Emily gently pressed down on her chest and finally felt better.

Lottie shook her head. As the general manager of the Gale Group, she had long

since learned to hide her thoughts.

The shock just now had been gone.

She said indifferently, "What's wrong with you? Are you pregnant with vomiting like this?"

Pregnant!

This word frightened Emily and her face turned pale.

"Impossible!" She hurriedly shook her head. Her reaction was indescribably strange.

Lottie narrowed her eyes and looked at Emily. She was sure that there was not such a maid in their Gale family.

She would definitely not forget it if this face had ever appeared in the Gale family before.

"Who are you? Why are you in our house? Are you here as a guest?"

"I came with Mr. Hunter." Emily still hasn't recovered from the shock and fear brought by the word "pregnant".

"Mr. Hunter? You mean, Mr. Hunter from Bentson City?"

Lottie had heard that Hunter was coming. But she didn't expect that he would arrive today.

"Where is he? I am just about to visit him."

She looked at Emily again and was a little puzzled, "You ... are Mr. Hunter's girlfriend?"

"No!" Emily denied it more quickly, as if she was afraid that Lottie would misunderstand her.

Perhaps realizing that her reaction was a little too much, Emily smiled faintly at her, easing the awkwardness.

"I just dropped in with him to see my sister."

"Your sister?"

"Wendy."

When Lottie and Emily walked into the hall together, Hunter was still chatting with Patriarch Gale and Joseph.

Wendy sat beside Hunter.

Although there was still some distance between them, it was not hard to tell there was something special between Wendy and Hunter from how she behaved.

"Mr. Hunter has indeed come."

Lottie glanced at Wendy, and then turned to look at Emily beside her.

Afterwards, she smiled conventionally and walked towards Hunter.

"I have heard from Joseph that Mr. Hunter would come. I didn't expect that you would come today. We don't have time to prepare properly to welcome you. Please don't take offense."

"Madam Gale is too serious." Hunter stood up and shook hands with Lottie, who was walking in front of him.

The man Lottie married was not a Gale himself, he only married into the Gale family. So, the older ones usually called her Ms. Gale, and the younger ones called her Madam Gale.

Lottie smiled and said warmly, "Mr. Hunter, please sit down."

They sat down, and Lottie sat beside Joseph.

Seeing that Emily had also returned, Patriarch Gale hurriedly greeted, "Emily,

come and sit down beside me."

Wendy glared at Emily fiercely. However, she could not say anything now in

public.

She could only completely hide her hatred in her heart.

Emily was still so clever and sat down beside Patriarch Gale without saying

anything.

Lottie looked at Wendy and Hunter thoughtfully.

"Wendy, you and Mr. Hunter ... know each other?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐

Chapter 397: I Don’t MindBefore Wendy could answer Lottie's question, a person came from outside the hall.

Sasha's eyes lit up when she saw Hunter.

She had long known that Mr. Hunter of the Jackson family in Bentson City was an outstanding man. But she hadn't expected that he would be so outstanding.noveldrama

If she wasn't that old, and if she were twenty years younger, she would definitely go after and date him.

She had never seen such a handsome man before!

A single photo of him could even make the woman's cheeks turn red and heartbeat quicken. Now, seeing him, she couldn't look away at all.

"Mr. Hunter, your reputation precedes you. I'm well acquainted with your work!"

Sasha walked over and stretched out her hand.

The Gale Group of City L and the Jackson Group of Bentson City had always had business dealings.

Sasha was working on a project with Hunter.

Hunter shook her hand slightly before everyone sat down again.

"Dad, do we hear any good news about Wendy and Mr. Hunter?"

Sasha came here after she received the news.

She heard that after Hunter came here, he immediately went to see Wendy.

Now, they sat together and seemed to be on intimate terms.

In addition, she had asked someone to inquire about Wendy before.

She had already known that Wendy and Mr. Hunter were a couple.

Wendy's Weibo was filled with photos taken at Mr. Hunter's WongRiver Pavilion. She looked at Patriarch Gale, but her gaze accidentally fell on the girl beside him.

"She!"

Sasha suddenly stood up and said, "She ..."

"What?" Patriarch Gale looked at Sasha and frowned, "Why are you making such a fuss?"

His two daughters were capable backbones of the Gale Group. They were famous for their composure.

Although Sasha was slightly more impetuous than Lottie in general, she should not be so impetuous.

"Sasha, this is Wendy's sister, Emily." Lottie glanced at her indifferently.

Sasha was calmed down by this warning.

The look of that girl!

Her feelings for Emily were even more intense than Lottie!

Back then, when her younger brother Harley was in love, she had even helped

him hide it from Patriarch Gale several times.

She would never forget how that girl looked!

However, how could this be?

Emily was a little depressed today. She smiled at Sasha to greet her. Then, she picked up her cup and drank the tea.

She didn't seem to be interested in their topic at all.

Sasha calmed down and glanced at Emily again before turning to look at Hunter and Wendy.

She smiled to cover up her ill manners just now, "Wendy, aren't you going to introduce him to us?"

Wendy's face was a little hot. She definitely knew what Sasha meant.

Everyone naturally knew Mr. Hunter. What Sasha meant was to introduce their relationship.

Wendy sneaked a glance at Hunter, who did not intend to say anything.

She quietly moved closer beside Hunter. They instantly became closer than before.

He didn't resist it at all!

Wendy was excited and surprised.

"I... Hunter is my good friend, very good."

Looking at them today, Patriarch Gale detected something unusual between them.

Originally, he didn't dare to think about this thing. But today, Mr. Hunter gave him hope.

Patriarch Gale smiled, "You have been taking good care of Wendy, and I haven't properly thanked you."

Hunter smiled faintly. That perfect smile just cast a spell on all women present. He said, "It's what I should do."

What he meant by that? It was obvious!

Wendy was Hunter's responsibility!

Wendy was excited, but she couldn't say anything. However, she was very afraid

of missing something if she didn't say anything.

She could only try her best to wink at Patriarch Gale, hoping that he could help her.

Of course Patriarch Gale knew what she meant, but he still couldn't see through Hunter.

Hunter had clearly said before that he had no feelings for his granddaughter at all. But now, why was his attitude completely different?

"Well ..." Patriarch Gale thought for a while before saying tentatively, "Mr. Hunter, are you with our Wendy? Why don't even I know?"

Everyone became silent.

Emily's hands tightened, and she subconsciously looked at Hunter.

Patriarch Gale was bringing this onto the table.

This time, yes or no, there wasn't anything in between.

There wasn't anything roundabout in Hunter. He wouldn't beat around the bush.

Wendy was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

She wanted Grandpa to help her. But she did not expect that Grandpa would be so straightforward.

If Hunter refused her in front of so many people, how could she live in this family in the future?

Grandpa was really... inconsiderate of her!

In fact, Patriarch Gale just didn't want to be sloppy. The last thing he wanted was

that his granddaughter had unrealistic hopes.

Apart from Hunter, everyone present was his family.

It didn't matter if she lost face in front of her family.

What matters was to figure it out.

Everyone's gaze fell on Hunter.

However, Hunter didn't seem to know what everyone was looking forward to.

After picking up the cup and tasting a mouthful of tea, he put it down and looked down at Wendy.

"You've been here for more than a month. Did you cause any trouble for everyone?"

Wendy felt excited!

With such a spoiled tone, it was clear that Hunter had already treated her as his woman!

She had never felt this before! Being treated as his woman by Hunter!

Suddenly, she felt excited. Her eyes became hot and tears almost rolled down her cheeks.

Wendy shook her head and almost fell into his arms.

If it weren't for so many pairs of eyes watching her, she would definitely fall into

his arms!

"I... No." Wendy lowered her head and bit her lips, her breathing became uneven.

The hall remained silent for two seconds.

Two seconds later, Patriarch Gale was overjoyed and finally reacted.

"Wendy is so clever. How will she cause trouble for others?"

Patriarch Gale was too happy!

Unknowingly, he held Emily's hand and looked at Hunter, "I wonder how much

trouble Wendy had caused Mr. Hunter when she stayed by your side."

Hunter smiled lightly. That smile was graceful and noble!

"It's a little troublesome. But I don't mind it."

Emily stayed in the guest room on the second floor.

She did not know where Hunter lived, nor did she want to know.

Tonight, it belonged to Hunter and Wendy.

Whether she was by Hunter's side or in the Gale family, she was extremely

unwanted.

Standing on the balcony and looking at the night scene outside, Emily didn't know

if she wanted to laugh or cry.

Laughing at her own stupidity.

Crying for herself being so pathetic.

They had already publicly announced their love affair. But she was still a plaything

beside Hunter.

Hunter was with Wendy. But privately, he still brought her along.

No one knew that she still owed Hunter more than a month.

In more than a month, she still was his bed partner to relieve his desire when he

needed her.

What kind of man is this Mr. Hunter?

Bastard?

He was with Wendy. But he was still sleeping with other women. So what else could he be if he was not a bastard?

Tonight, there was wind. The wind blew on her body. It was so cold that her body

froze.

Emily did not know how long she had stood on the balcony. When she suddenly regained her senses, she slowly returned to her room with her cold body.

Just as she was about to rest on the bed, a knock came from outside.

Chapter 398: If She Really Was Lying to the Jacksons

"Ms. Gale?"

Seeing the person entering, Emily was shocked.

At this time, why did Sasha come looking for her?

Sasha was staring at Emily.

Although she had seen Emily during the day, she was surprised every time she looked at Emily.

"Do you know a woman called Talia?" Sasha asked.

Emily was shocked for a moment and moved aside. "Ms. Gale, come in and have a seat."

It was really not polite to block someone at the door.

Sasha did not miss the surprise in Emily's eyes.

Sasha walked into the room and sat down on a chair. She turned around to look

at Emily, who had casually closed the door.

Sasha smiled and said, "How is it? Do you know Talia?"

"I wonder why you asked about her?" Emily was always on guard when someone talked about her mother.

"You two are very similar."

Sasha noticed Emily's precaution. She said indifferently, "I used to know her every well. Every time she went on a secret date with my brother, I helped her cover it up."

"With your brother ... Harley?"

How could this happen? Emily's mother was in love with Harley?

Then why did Kate become Harley's wife?

Emily was confused. Some questions seemed to have been figured out, but some of them were clearly impossible to crack.

She was not Patriarch Gale's granddaughter at all! The test report could prove it!

"You don't know that?" Sasha was thinking something. In the end, she became gloomy slightly.

"Is Wendy really Talia's daughter? But I feel that Kate was very nice to Wendy." Sasha stared at Emily with a sharp gaze, as if Emily was not allowed to lie. "You mean Wendy is Talia's daughter?" Emily opened her eyes wide.

What did that mean?

Emily thought that Kate and Harley had dated privately so that she gave birth to Wendy, Harley's daughter. Wasn't that true?

At first, Emily suspected that she was Patriarch Gale's granddaughter.

So, in fact, she had the same thoughts as Sasha at first. Was it possible that Wendy, Kate, and Charles had teamed up to steal the identity that originally belonged to Emily?

However, this doubt was completely shattered today.

The test report showed that Emily and Patriarch Gale were not related by blood.

After that, she could only accept the fact that Wendy was Patriarch Gale's granddaughter.

Emily doubted that why Charles was so good to Kate after the betrayal.

But after thinking about it, Emily understood. Charles was willing to do anything as long as he could gain benefits.

Although Kate had betrayed him, Kate and Wendy could bring him benefits. Of course, he could continue to please them.noveldrama

Thus, Emily didn't think further.

But what exactly did Sasha mean? Why did she say that Wendy was Talia's daughter?

Emily suppressed the shock in her heart and looked at Sasha's eyes.

"Actually, I don't know much about the matters of the previous generation. I just want to have some fun."

"Little girl, are you on guard against me?" Sasha smiled.

Emily seemed to be at most eighteen or nineteen years old.

However, it was impossible for such a young girl to be so mature.

"Ms. Gale, I don't understand what you mean." Emily blinked.

Emily was cautious. Before the matter became clear, she didn't dare to be hasty.

Disaster emanated from careless talk. It was very important for wealthy families.

"Talia used to be with Harley, but my father objected. As a result, they eloped. After that, they gave birth to a daughter."

"But Harley was in a car accident, and Talia and her daughter have been missing."

"My father didn't know the existence of Wendy. Six months ago, when he rearranged Harley's belongings, he discovered that Harley had a daughter."

"We searched for a long time. We finally found that Talia and Charles, Kate lived together."

Emily's hand, which was hidden in her sleeve, clenched tightly.

She didn't expect that!

They actually found Wendy by searching for Talia.

It turned out that all of this had nothing to do with Kate.

It was Talia who was dated with Harley!

However, Emily was not Patriarch Gale's granddaughter!

Could it be that Emily's father wasn't Harley? Patriarch Gale was wrong?

As for the test, since Wendy was powerful, she naturally had the ability to change its conclusion.

It turned out that they had made a fuss about Talia's relationship with Harley.

Sasha suddenly got up from her chair and walked towards Emily.

Emily was alerted and took two steps back to stay away from Sasha.

"Ms. Gale, can I help you?" She asked expressionlessly.

"You are Kate's child? Why did we find out that you are Talia's child?"

Earlier, Patriarch had heard this news, so he decided to bring back a child called Emily when he went to the Bentson City.

However, who would have thought that Wendy was brought back?

However, Joseph had said that they had personally done the test. No one in the

Gales would doubt Joseph's words for the time being.

Before seeing Emily, Sasha had not doubted it.

But she suspected that something was wrong.

Emily knew what she was going to do. She smiled and shook her head. "I'm not Patriarch Gale's granddaughter. I've done the test.”

"What?" Sasha frowned and stared at her in confusion.

"If I were, do you think I wouldn't want to come back to the Gales?"

Emily smiled indifferently. If she was one of the Gales, she would have already exposed Wendy's lie.

However, she knew that Wendy was definitely not Patriarch Gale's granddaughter.

However, she didn't decide how to deal with this matter, so she could not act rashly for the time being.

What if there were Wendy's accomplices in the Gales?

What if someone from the Gales changed the conclusion of Wendy and Patriarch Gale's test?

Hunter was even dating with Wendy.

Emily's mind was in a mess.

The only thing she was sure of was that she didn't want Patriarch Gale to be hurt

and cheated.

If he knew that his granddaughter was fake, would he be able to withstand it?

But if Emily didn't expose the lie, what should she do if Wendy was so greedy that

she wanted to take away all the shares in the Gale Group?

Emily really didn't dare to imagine what Patriarch Gale would do.

She looked at Sasha and clenched her fists tightly.

"Actually, you don't have to ask me more questions. I've already done a test with

Patriarch Gale. I'm not his granddaughter, but ..."

She stopped a while and then expressionlessly said, "Why don't you ask Wendy? Is it difficult to know if she is Patriarch Gale's granddaughter?"

Chapter 399: I’m Talia’s Daughter

Ask Wendy?

Sasha hadn't thought about it, but Patriarch Gale and Joseph had both said that they had personally done the test.

There were mistakes, which showed that there was a mole in the Gales.

Could it be that there was a mole in the Gales?

"I don't doubt anything. I just came to greet Wendy's family."

Sasha smiled at Emily and said, "Since Wendy and Dad have done the test, then the conclusion is definitely true."

Emily wanted to use Sasha to bring Wendy's lie to broad daylight. It seemed that they weren't on good terms.

"Wendy and I are family. There shouldn't be any doubts between us, right?"

Emily smiled and did not respond to Sasha.

Emily doubted whether Wendy and Sasha were family.

It didn't matter whether Emily should have doubts or not. What mattered was whether she had ever doubted it herself.

"It's getting late. Ms. Gale, I'm a little tired. Why don't you go back and take a rest?"

Although Ms. Gale looked warmer than her sister, she was so greedy.

Emily did not want to associate with such a person.

Since Emily was not related to Patriarch Gale, there was no need for her to interact with the Gales.

If other than Patriarch Gale, Joseph was the only one who could be trusted b Emily.

"Alright then. You should rest early. I'll go back first."

Sasha smiled at her again before turning around and walking out the door.

As she walked out of the corridor, she saw a person leaning against the corridor leading to the balcony on the second floor.

On such a large second floor, there were only the two of them. Suddenly, Sasha felt a little terrified.

"Sasha, it's so late. What are you talking about with Emily?"

Wendy took the initiative to walk towards Sasha.

Wendy was gently smiling, and she was even more polite than before.

Seeing that there was no one around, Sasha also smiled and greeted her.

"Your sister is here. Of course, I have to ask her if she needs anything so that I can arrange it for her."

The smile on Sasha's face was almost the same as Wendy's.

It was warm, gentle, without the slightest bit of aggressiveness!

"However, your sister doesn't seem to have a good temper and she is very impatient. I have no choice but to come back first."

She approached Wendy who suddenly took a step back and smiled at her.

"She is not related to me by blood. Moreover, she has always been disobedient. She has been a bad student since childhood. I and my adoptive parents have basically given up on her."

Sasha was still walking towards her. Wendy was a little nervous, but she was still smiling.

"Auntie, what do you want to say? Why don't we go to my room and talk about it?”

"It's late..."

"Auntie, I heard that Joseph's performance in the company is very good, much better than Francis'."

Wendy stared at Sasha who nted O continue approaching, and the smile on her face finally disappeared completely.

She said with a cold tone, "Grandpa said that if he handed the Gale Group over to me in the future, Joseph will be my top partner. His shares would only be lesser than mine."

"What?" Sasha was shocked. She finally stopped smiling.

"Dad really said that?"

"Yes, Grandpa said it yesterday, but he told me not to tell you."

Wendy stared at Sasha's face that changed immediately and her thin lips curled up.

"However, I think that although Joseph is very powerful, he is too powerful. In the future, I wonder if he will respect me."

"What do you mean by that?" Sasha finally realized that she didn't know about the girl in front of her!

"I don't have any other intentions. I just feel that if I can, I would rather choose Francis as my partner."

Wendy turned around and walked towards her room.

"Sasha, come to my room and have a cup of tea. After I returned, it seemed that we haven't had a good chat."

Sasha had mixed feelings. If Sasha followed Wendy in, she might need to participate in something.

However, if she didn't go in, what good would it do for her?

Just as she was about to take a step forward, she suddenly saw a person.

Sasha paused and turned to look at the long corridor in the distance. "Wait a moment."

"Huh?" Wendy stopped and turned to look at her.

Following her gaze, Wendy also saw the person at the other end of the corridor. "Emily?"

When Emily knocked on the door, Joseph had just come out of the bathroom. He only wore a bathrobe, and his short hair was wet.

The water droplets fell from the ends of his hair. He looked wild.

Like the Jacksons, there were many handsome men and beautiful women in the Gales.

When Emily saw Joseph, she couldn't help but be shocked.noveldrama

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the servants?"

Joseph was also a little surprised that Emily visited him at this point.

Hunter was still talking with his grandfather and his mother.

After Joseph came back to take a videoconference, he took a shower and was about to go to sleep.

It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening.

Emily shook her head and said seriously, "Mr. Gale ..."

"Grandpa told you to call me Joseph just like Wendy." Joseph pulled the door

open and let her in.

Afterwards, he didn't close the door tightly.

He was a very polite man.

The door was not closed tightly in order to protect her reputation.

Emily's nose was a little sour.

Emily knew that she shouldn't have hope, but she had.

She really hoped that Joseph would be her eldest cousin. She really wanted Patriarch Gale to be her grandfather.

That way, she would have a grandfather and a brother who both loved her.

Unfortunately, her hope wouldn't be achieved.

"Joseph." She still obediently called him Joseph.

Joseph smiled and pulled out a chair to let her sit down.

He poured her a glass of warm water and sat opposite her.

"What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood. You didn't eat much at

dinner. Are you feeling unwell?"

Emily did not expect that he would notice these small things.

"Grandpa asked me to get a snack for you. He is afraid you haven't eaten

enough. I forgot about it because of the meeting just now."

He picked up his phone and casually dialed a number.

Before Emily could stop him, he had already instructed, "Send some snacks to my room."

"Joseph, I'm not hungry." Emily immediately said.

Joseph disagreed. “You just ate some vegetables and rice. You didn't eat meat at all. Aren't you hungry?"

"I..."

Emily thought for a moment and decided not to talk about that.

The better Joseph and Patriarch Gale treated her, the more she felt that she had

to explain to them clearly.

"Joseph." Emily tightened her grip on the cup in her hand and looked at Joseph. She took a deep breath and said, "I ... am Talia's daughter."000000

Chapter 400: How Do You Know the Mole Wasn’t Me?

"You?" Joseph was obviously shocked.

Emily was Talia's daughter? Whose daughter was Wendy?

"Didn't you find out clearly from the beginning that Talia's daughter is me?"

It was impossible for them to go to the Bentson City without inquiring about such an important matter.

"Yes." Joseph, who experienced a lot, quickly calmed himself down.

Emily was calm, without the slightest bit of nervousness. She did not seem to be lying at all.

"From the beginning, we found out that Talia's daughter is indeed you. When Grandfather and I went to the Bentson City, we were sure that you are my sister."

“But? Is it because Kate told you that Talia's daughter was Wendy after she found out your identities and intentions?"

Emily could basically guess the whole process.

To Kate, Wendy was the most important person.

Of course, Kate had to leave all the good things to her daughter.

Moreover, Wendy had already pretended to be the granddaughter of Matriarch Jackson.

It wasn't strange to continue pretending to be the granddaughter of Patriarch Gale.

Joseph thought for a moment before nodding. "Yes. Kate told us that Wendy was Talia's daughter."

Wendy and Emily were about the same age, so from their appearances, it was impossible to tell who was older and who was younger.

In short, in terms of age, the two of them were possible to be Talia's daughter.

Since Kate said Wendy was Talia's daughter, they naturally had to find Wendy first.

“But, Emily, I don't want to doubt you. I just want to tell you that we ..."

Joseph paused for a moment, as if he was in a dilemma.

Emily knew that he didn't want to hurt her self-esteem. Joseph was really good to her.

She smiled and said, "You want to say that Patriarch Gale and Wendy did a DNA test which shows that they are related by blood, right?"

He was embarrassed to speak that, so she said it.

Joseph let out a sigh of relief before nodding. "So, Emily, is it possible that you made a mistake?"

"No." Emily replied straightforwardly with a determined expression.

"Furthermore, I didn't come here to pretend to be Patriarch Gale's granddaughter."

"Emily, that's not what I meant." A person who saw Patriarch Gale's accident on the road and immediately came to rescue him was definitely not a bad person.

Moreover, Joseph believed in his insight.

Emily was a kind girl.

Emily was grateful for his trust in her. This feeling of being trusted was nice and

warm.

You didn't need to try your best to explain and prove.

If Joseph said he trusted you, he really trusted you.

This was enough for her.

"I'm not Patriarch Gale's granddaughter either. I personally took his hair to do a test."

Seeing his shocked expression, she earnestly apologized, "I'm sorry. I just have doubts."

"It doesn't matter. If you have any doubts, prove it. You're not wrong."

"In short, I am not Patriarch Gale's granddaughter, but I am really Talia's daughter. I ... have done the test."

She and Matriarch Jackson had made a test, even though the report had been destroyed.

However, she had done it before. The test could not be fake.

Joseph did not say anything. Since she came to find him, she definitely had something else to say.

He only needed to wait for her to continue.

Emily took a deep breath before continuing, "The one who dated with Harley is Talia. Talia's daughter is me, but I am not Patriarch Gale's granddaughter."

After saying that, she felt that she was humiliating her mother.

But in order to prevent Patriarch Gale and Joseph from being deceived by Wendy, even if she humiliated her mother, she had to say the truth.noveldrama

"Although I don't want to admit it, ... perhaps, my mother dated other men other than Harley."

"Wait a moment." Joseph waved his hand.

He rubbed the corner of his eyebrows. Emily knew that he found it hard to accept.

This was not a matter of who lied to whom. If Talia's daughter wasn't one of the Gales, Patriarch Gale didn't have any biological granddaughter.

If Patriarch Gale knew about this, he would... black out.

Emily did not say anything. She could only wait for him to accept it and calm down.

In the end, Patriarch Gale was the one who suffered the most.

Patriarch Gale was in his seventies, although he still looked very strong.

However, he really couldn't withstand such a blow.

The servant knocked lightly on the door and said, “Mr. Joseph, here are the snacks."

Joseph wiped his face and said, "Come in."

The maid pushed open the door and placed the snacks on the coffee table.

In front of Emily, there were a lot of snacks and sweet soup.

In front of Joseph, there was only a cup of hot tea.

After the maid left, Emily picked up a piece of cake and tasted it.

Actually, there was something wrong.

In this kind of atmosphere, people could relax by eating some pastries.

She was also nervous and worried. To put it bluntly, they really didn't know if Patriarch Gale could handle the truth.

Joseph also picked up the cup and tasted the tea.

Afterwards, he put down the cup and unconsciously swept his fingers across the rim of the cup.

"I understand what you mean. You want to say that you are not Patriarch Gale's granddaughter, and neither is Wendy?"

"I'm not sure. After all, you've done DNA tests with her, but ..."

Emily looked at Joseph sincerely and seriously.

"If someone knew that you would make a test, they could make preparations beforehand and change the conclusion on the report. Is that possible?"

Joseph did not respond. He was just thinking.

If someone wanted to change the result of the test to "no", then they just needed to spend some money.

However, if someone wanted to change the result of the test to "yes", they had to find a person who was really related to Patriarch Gale by blood.

Unless they changed Patriarch Gale's blood samples.

"Joseph." Although Emily wasn't used to call him like that, she was a little reluctant to change it.

"The simplest way to tell the truth is to do another test without letting anyone know

it."

"You mean you want me to take a test in private?"

"I don't trust anyone else. I don't know if there are Wendy's accomplices here." Patriarch Gale was deceived. The conclusion of the test was changed. Wendy pretended to be Patriarch Gale's granddaughter.

Wendy alone would definitely not be able to do such a big thing.

Of course, it was possible that the person outside were too powerful. He could help Wendy solve all these problems.

No matter what, it was true that Wendy had accomplices.

"Then you," Joseph looked at Emily and narrowed his deep eyes. "How can you be sure that the person who joined forces with Wendy in the Gales is not me?"☐☐☐
