Chapter 335


    Juliette went out, leaving Kimberly on her own in the room.


    Juliette was considerate and she closed the door behind her. She was not worried that Kimberly


    would destroy the things in the room. It was Kimberly''s first time there but Juliette trusted her.


    The things in the room seemed expensive but Juliette...


    ''Could it be... that I was really the long-lost daughter of the Hanover family?''


    How could it be true? Even though Kimberly was not doted on by her parents like Erica was, she


    always thought that the Shell family was her family. Even when her mother was mean to her, she


    had her doubts, but she would soon dismiss the idea.


    Kimberly was even ashamed of herself for thinking like that. No matter what, her mother raised her.


    Back then, Kimberly could understand why her mother asked her to take Erica''s ce and marry


    Maddox. Mrs. Shell did not want her two daughters to be destroyed. Mrs. Shell probably thought


    that Kimberly was divorced but Erica was still in her prime. Instead of letting Erica marry a


    handicapped man, it was better to let a divorced woman like Kimberly do it, hence... it was for the


    best.


    How could Kimberly not understand that? Although she was disheartened, she still married Maddox.


    However, the following events made her despair.


    Even if Kimberly sacrificed everything for Erica, her parents did not care about her. They even


    thought that they could gain some benefits from her. They never cared about her wellbeing.


    Suddenly, someone told Kimberly that she was not the biological daughter of the Shell family.


    Furthermore, Juliette also mentioned that Mrs. Shell had confessed to it.


    However, Kimberly was in denial. She could not ept it.


    She wanted to go back and ask her mother about it. She would only believe it after she heard it


    from her mother personally.


    Moreover, there were too many things going on. She just broke up with Maddox and she found out


    about her real identity. Everything was weighing down on her and she did not even have the time to


    breathe.


    Kimberly gave a dryugh. Who would give her some time to catch her breath?


    She got up and looked around. Finally, her eyes fell on the woman in the picture.


    The woman was her biological mother? Even if she resembled the woman, they were just photos. In


    addition, she had never even met the woman, therefore... Kimberly did not feel anything about the


    woman.


    If she could, Kimberly still hoped that she would be the daughter of the Shell family.


    She hoped that the Hanover family had made a mistake. She was not the long-lost daughter of the


    Hanover family.


    With that in mind, Kimberly got up and turned to leave.


    No, she had to go home.


    Even if things were impossible between her and Maddox, Kimberly could not stay depressed. She


    had to cheer up and be strong.


    She walked out of the room. To her surprise, Juliette was waiting for her beside the door. Juliette


    spotted Kimberly and she walked over smilingly. She asked, "Miss Shell, have you made up your


    mind?"


    "I have to go back home," Kimberly pleaded.


    Juliette was taken aback. After a while, she nodded and replied, "I''ll ask the driver to drive you


    there."


    Kimberly was a little surprised. She thought that Juliette would persuade her to stay. Unexpectedly,


    Juliette let her leave. Kimberly stared at Juliette gratefully and said, "Thank you but I can go back on


    my own."


    "No, you''re not in good shape and I can''t let you leave on your own. Where are you going? I''ll ask


    the driver to send you there. If you refuse, then I can''t let you leave. I just told Mr. Hanover, and he


    said that you could do anything you want."


    It was Quill... Kimberly nodded and replied, "Well, I''m sorry to trouble you."


    Juliette smiled and responded, "It''s my pleasure. Should I apany you, Miss Shell?"


    "No, I just want to go home and ask my parents about it. You don''t have to follow me." "Alright, Miss


    Shell."


    After Kimberly left, Juliette immediately made a phone call to Quill. "Mr. Hanover, Miss Shell just


    left."


    Quill hummed in response. His voice was low and indifferent.


    Juliette hesitated for a moment and she asked, "Should I..."


    "There''s no need for that. You just told her the truth, so it''s normal for her to want to validate it."


    "Then... Should I bring her back?"


    "It''s up to her." After a brief pause, Quill added, "Don''t force her."


    "I understand, Mr. Hanover. What about Miss Sylvia? She is still hospitalized. Moreover..."


    "She is injured. Keep it from her for the time being. Tell her after she''s discharged from the hospital."


    "Yes, Sir."


    After hanging up the call, Juliette was a little moved. Although Quill seemed cold and indifferent, he


    was a thoughtful man. Sylvia deceived him but he was able to stay calm. Sylvia was injured,


    therefore he kept everything from her because he was afraid that something might happen to her.


    Hence, he would save himself a lot of trouble. He was veryposed.


    In the dead of night, a limousine pulled over at the intersection. After Kimberly thanked the driver,


    she opened the door and got out of the car. The driver poked his head out from the window and


    said, "Miss, I''ll wait for you here."


    Kimberly paused and met the driver''s eyes hesitantly. "Sir, thank you but... I don''t think it''s


    necessary. You should head back."


    She turned to walk away. After a while, Kimberly turned over her shoulder and realized that the car


    was still around. She sighed but she did not look back and went into the Shell family house.


    The door was unlocked and the room was lit. As soon as Kimberly entered, she noticed that Mr. and


    Mrs. Shell were sitting on the sofa. They stood up in unison when they heard the door and said,


    "Erica, you''re..."


    However, they stopped dead in their tracks when they noticed that it was Kimberly.


    Mrs. Shell thought that Erica came back. To her surprise, it was Kimberly. She nced at Kimberly


    and retorted, "You?"


    Kimberly stiffened as she closed the door. After a moment, she smiled and asked, "Why not? Can''t I


    come home?"


    Mrs. Shell narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "What do you mean by that?"


    Earlier, people from the Hanover family came and Kimberly suddenly came back. After thinking


    about it, Kimberly probably knew what was going on.

    At the thought of that, Mrs. Shell snorted, "You''re free to go anywhere you like. I never said anything


    but you still want toe back? Are you sure you want to leave your rich life behind?"


    Kimberly''s eyes flickered. "So, you confessed?"


    "What confession? What are you trying to say? Why are you here?" Mrs. Shell shouted.
