Kimberly was in a daze as she stared at Juliette. When Kimberly heard Juliette, her body seemed to be 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're Mrs. 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 she approached you. She got some information from you and forged some evidence. Mr. Hanover was anxious 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... Did you guys make a mistake? After all, I've known Sylvia for so long. If you guys made a blunder, then you 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 your identity. 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 she was not the biological daughter of the Shell family? Therefore... Therefore, her mother always favored 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 the conditions but... He seemed to sense that something was off. It's very peculiar but it's said that you can feel it if you're related by blood. Mr. Hanover had a nagging feeling about Sylvia and she didn't feel 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, "Miss Shell, please follow me. You will understand when you see it."
Kimberly tailed Juliette slowly. They went upstairs with the elevator. Along the way, everything felt like a dream as Kimberly glanced at the majestic interior around her. Finally, Juliette stopped in front of 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. Juliette would 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 arranged neatly.
However... The dry smell in the air hinted that the room had been unoccupied for a long time.
