Chapter 258


    Catherine''s POV


    I was a little surprised when I received ke''s call. I had something to ask him as well, so, I went


    straight to hispany.


    For some reason, I felt panicked as I went up in the elevator. I had no clue why, but I knew something


    was wrong.


    When I reached the door of ke''s office, two assistants greeted me politely, "Lycan Luna, are you


    here to see King ke?"


    Lycan Luna?


    The address reassured me a little.


    Everybody called me this when they saw me. I felt I was already ke''s wife.


    I couldn''t help but feel happy about it. I found that happiness came just in time, and I could rx and


    enjoy this perfect life of mine.


    I knocked on the door. ke answered, so I pushed the door open and walked toward him. He was


    sitting by his desk.


    But when I was halfway there, I paused, and my eyes widened.


    Because I saw two things on ke''s desk.


    One of them was the ne that I lost. The other one was from the royal treasury. The two nes


    were ced together.


    "ke, what is this about?" I was shocked and quickly walked over. I picked up my ne and


    looked at him, who was sitting in front of me.


    ke''s face stiffened and he looked solemn. He didn''t answer me.


    My voice trembled as I said, "Why do you have my lost ne? Wasn''t it stolen? Did you take it?"


    ke''s gaze fell gently on my face. Then he said coldly, "Yes. I took your ne. And I bought the


    other piece from the royal treasury."


    My heart trembled. I asked, "Why did you do this? Why did you take my ne? And you lied to me


    that it was stolen by a maid! What were you up to?"


    It was bad to be deceived, but it was even worse to be deceived by someone you loved.


    I was angry, confused, and miserable.


    ke gave a self-deprecating smile. "Do you want to know why? Take a look. These two nes are


    a pair. The other piece was donated to the royal treasury by Halsey''s father. Do you know why he


    donated it? Because the Fox family would be sad at the sight of it. The ne belonged to a little


    boy, who did not live long. The Fox family donated it because they didn''t want to see it. It would remind


    them of the boy. You know what? The little boy also had a twin sister. The ne in your hand


    belonged to the daughter of the Fox family, and you are Halsey''s lost daughter."


    I kept shaking my head because none of his words made sense to me.


    The Fox family? I had never heard of them or my twin brother before.


    All I knew was that ke said these with a hint of cynicism and anger.


    But what did any of these have to do with me? I knew nothing about it.


    "So, you lied to me again, right?" I tried to smile, but tears came down from the corners of my eyes. I


    choked and said, "You told me that my parents had passed away. Howe I am the daughter of the


    Fox family all of a sudden?"


    Suddenly, ke was like a stranger to me. So strange that he scared me.


    His expression was cold as if I was his enemy.


    But how could I be his enemy?


    A look of embarrassment and sorrow crossed ke''s handsome face.


    Tears slid down my cheeks. I wiped them off with the back of my hand, trying to look strong. I was mad


    and I med him, "ke, I never thought that you were a liar. How could you curse my parents? Tell


    me. What else did you lie to me about? Was your love for me a lie as well? You only wanted the kids,


    so you pretended to love me. You even said that you wanted to marry me. How ridiculous! I actually


    believed you. You liar!"


    A deep pain was hidden behind ke''s eyes.


    His tone was still cold as he said, "What if I say yes? I pretended to be in love with you, but my real


    intention was to bond with the kids. I gave you a career and made you neglect the kids. Now they rely


    on me and my grandparents. And you..."


    ke suddenly stopped talking.


    "Why? Why did you do this to me? ke, this is too much." I wanted to rush over and p him hard.


    I was so angry that I felt I was going crazy.


    "What if I lied to you? Do you have any idea what your father did to me? Do you know who Halsey is?


    He is the bastard who married my mother. He is my nightmare. Catherine, I knew who you were when I


    looked into the background of these nes. You are Halsey''s daughter, the daughter of my enemy.


    Now you know why I lied to you."


    ke suddenly told me the truth, which was so cruel.


    I waspletely stunned. I watched him standing up in front of me. He couldn''t restrain his emotions.


    His fierce, hateful look froze me.


    "What are you talking about? I am the daughter of your enemy? ke, is this some sick joke? How can


    I be..."


    "I am not joking. Actually, not long ago, I had your DNA checked with Halsey''s. You are indeed his


    daughter. When I hate someone, I won''t make any mistakes, regardless of the rtionship." ke


    laughed sarcastically.


    My entire body trembled. My vision was getting blurry, and I couldn''t stand firmly.


    I tried to be calm. I had to hold on. I could not just pass out like that.


    "Are you sure?" I asked, unwilling to give up.


    ke nodded. "Yes. I have confirmed it."


    "Why bother? Anyway, you do not love me. You''ve been ying with my feelings all this time. You must


    have hated me when you knew I had that ne. Why do you need to confirm it? Will you still love


    me if I am not Halsey''s daughter?"

    I calmed down. I had a habit of calming down before doing anything. I knew for a fact that fretfulness


    was of no avail.
