Chapter 588 An Old Photograph


    "Yes, she is Madam Lilian. Kate stared at the TV and murmured. Her heart was filled with a kind of


    emotion that she had never felt before. It was heart-wrenching and distressful. Such a feeling made her


    feel fearful."


    "I really didn''t expect her to be acquainted with such a famous person. It seems that our Miss Belle is


    really loved by all. Bailey chuckled. In her mind, Madam Lilian must havee to visit her for Belle''s


    sake. Therefore, she was very proud of Belle, which was normal since she''d regarded Belle as her own


    daughter for all these years."


    Kate was lost in thought.


    "Madam, it''s strange, but I feel that Madam Lilian looks familiar, almost as if I have seen her


    somewhere before. Bailey frowned slightly and asked while trying to recall."


    Kate gave a burst of disapprovingughter. "What''s so strange about that? She often appears on TV."


    "Bailey was still confused. ""Madam, my eyesight is not good, and I seldom watch this type of news on


    TV. I usually just casually watch TV dramas. So, I can confirm that I have never seen her on TV."""


    "Hearing this, Kate giggled. ""That''s true. Madam Lilian is famous internationally and rarely appears on


    the local news channels."" Then, Kate turned to Bailey, who was thinking hard, and she exined,


    ""Some people just look familiar. What''s odd about that? I think you''d better not worry too much. It''s not


    as if you could have seen her before, or actually know her."""


    "Hearing this, Bailey also felt embarrassed, and chortled. ""Madam, you''re right. Madam Lilian is so


    famous. How could I, an ordinary person, know her? It''s absolutely impossible."""


    "Speaking of this, something urred to her. She continued, ""Madam, Miss Belle called today. She


    informed us that Madam Sophia is dying, and she is ready to take you to Harvey Manor."""


    "Speaking of Sophia, Kate felt inexplicably heavy in her heart."


    "Yes, Madam Sophia is indeed a rare, good person. Moreover, she''s also a respected figure among us


    women. I should have visited her earlier. Kate nodded and sighed. She did not feel good about it."


    "In the Harvey family, only Sophia had been secretly protecting Belle. Otherwise, with the decline of the


    Morris family''s family status, Belle could hardly have had a bright future in the Harvey family. Kate knew


    and also remembered Sophia''s help."


    "Miss Belle mentioned that she woulde to pick us up tomorrow morning. So, I''ll pack up now. I


    guess we''ll have to stay for a few days. Bailey stood up as she said this and began to pack up."


    "As for Kate, she just sat there and continued watching TV."

    "After a while, Bailey came out with a peculiar look on her face."


    "Madam, I found a photo here, which really reminded me of something. Just as Bailey had gone to


    pack up, she''d inadvertently found a photo that she kept, which she''d almost forgotten about. It was a


    photo of Lilian in her younger years when she was still in the entertainment industry. As photographs


    were notmon back then, Bailey only had this photo and stored it in an old album. She had


    forgotten that she had it."


    "Hearing this, Kate turned her eyes to her face and asked doubtfully, ""Bailey, what photo?"""


    "Bailey approached, held the photo with both hands, and handed it over."


    Kate received it and looked at it. It was a beautiful young woman with a kind-looking face.


    Who is this? Kate questioned in surprise.


    "Bailey''s expression was a little strange. She nced at Kate and answered cautiously, ""Madam, she


    is your mother."""


    "Mother? Kate''s face changed, and she took the photo and studied it carefully."


    Was the beautiful woman in the photo really her birth mother?


    Kate had not seen her mother''s face since she was a child. Seeing this photo in an instant made it hard


    for her to believe that it was true.


    "Yes, Madam, this is your mother''s photo. I can assure you. Bailey nodded solemnly."


    "Then, why didn''t you show it to me earlier? Kate showed a hint of me."


    "Bailey sighed. All those years ago, vian also had photos of Lilian. Nheless, there were several


    times when vian would cry bitterly as he hugged Lilian''s photo when he came home drunk, which


    had damaged most of the photos. There was once after he had a really drunken night, when vian


    had lost his mind and burned all the photos of Lilian. He died soon after."


    "This photo had been kept with her since she apanied Lilian as a child. There had been one time


    when vian discovered it after getting drunk and had almost destroyed it, but Bailey had managed to


    recover it after he''d passed out. However, since then, she had not dared to take it out again, and


    eventually had truly forgotten about it."


    "Madam, I was still young at that time. I don''t even remember that I had it, Bailey exined in a bashful


    tone."


    Kate stared at the photo and was lost in thought. She was really indifferent to the concept of having a


    mother.


    "Bailey, what kind of rtion do you have to my Mom? Kate asked again. She had known about the


    rtion since she was a kid, but any further details had never been clear to her. This was why she''d


    asked."


    "Kate had asked such questions several times when she was free, but Bailey just couldn''t answer


    them."


    "Madam, I was brought up by your mother. I don''t remember the past as I was very young, and I really


    couldn''t remember anything. I even forgot your mother''s appearance. I only had a vague memory when


    I saw this photo today, but I knew that the photo was your mother. Bailey''s face was a little painful, and


    she answered sourly."


    "Kate stopped talking and touched the woman in the photo, in a daze."


    "Madam, there is something I don''t know if I should say. Bailey nced at the photo in her hand and


    asked carefully."


    Go ahead. What do you want to say? Kate urged in a downcast tone.


    "Madam, don''t you think that the photo seems simr to that of Madam Lilian, who came to visit that


    day? Bailey''s voice was a little low, and her expression was a little mysterious."


    "At this point, Kate was actually stunned. She lowered her head, took the photo, and looked at it again."


    "Moreover, I recalled that your mother is also called Lilian. So, Madam Lilian has the same name as


    your mother. Bailey continued."


    Lilian... Is my mother also called Lilian? Kate raised her head and asked in shock.


    "Yes, I still remember her name. Bailey nodded firmly."


    "Kate''s expression changed a little, but after a while, she shook her head resolutely and said, ""Bailey,


    don''t joke around. My mother is already dead. Even if she is called Lilian, she can''t be the current


    Madan Lilian. There are many people with the same name as her in the world. This idea is too


    unrealistic."""


    "After that, she lowered her head to look at the photo in her hand."


    "The woman in the photo was morous, beautiful, and appeared to be in her twenties. Furthermore,


    Madam Lilian was already in her seventies, and no matter how Kate looked at it, it still seemed


    impossible. Although the simrities were uncanny, it could not eliminate Kate''s doubts. Besides, how


    could Madam Lilian, who had such a noble status, be her mother? It was too ridiculous."


    "Bailey, please give this picture to me, and don''t overthink anymore. My mother has already died. How


    could she be the world-renowned Madam Lilian? Don''t say such things again in the future, or people


    will think that we want to climb the socialdder. Kate frowned. She had never been a person who


    wanted to climb up the socialdder. Could it be that just because Madam Lilian was famous, they''d


    thought that Madam Lilian could be her mother? It was too funny. How shameful would it be if such a


    thought were to spread out? It was not in Kate''s character to do such a thing."


    "Not to mention that even if Madam Lilian was her mother, Kate didn''t want to acknowledge her


    because she had ignored her for so many years. As to the word ''Mom'', Kate had already lost any


    feelings that she could have had. "


    "Bailey noticed Kate''s expression and knew that her thoughts were a little far-fetched. When she was


    very young, Lilian had suddenly disappeared from her life, and she had never seen her again. She had


    only heard vian say that she was already dead. That was all."


    "Bailey went back to pack their things, awaiting Belle to pick them up the next day to go to Harvey


    Manor."


    In A City''s government hospital.


    "The night was dark, and the hot air was oppressive. In the summer night, the air was warm with a hint


    of unease."


    "Calvin put on his bulletproof vest and drove the Hummer. His face was sullen, and his eyes were


    focused."


    That night was destined to be an unusual night.


    "Mr. Harvey, Yaris is on the way from C City to A city. Our men tried to approach him, but it seems that


    there are still people following Yaris to protect him. We can''t do anything for the time being. We think


    that they are Zoe''s men, who were sent to protect Yaris. The subordinate ced in C City called


    over."


    "Calvin''s expression changed. He immediately ordered, ""Hurry up and retreat. Don''t act rashly, and


    don''t alert the enemy. Let hime to A City and fall into our trap."""


    "Yes, Mr. Harvey, the person on the other side replied and quickly withdrew from C City."


    Calvin looked at his phone. It was only ten o''clock. It seemed that Yaris woulde to visit his mother


    in the Tristany hours of the morning.


    "After thinking for a while, he called Charles of the Public Security Department."


    "When Charles received the call, he immediately rushed to the government hospital with several skilled


    snipers and lurked around."


    "Calvin had his own ns. If Yaris came back alone, he could capture him alive, interrogate him, and


    then hand him over to the police. However, from the tone of his subordinates, Yaris must have gone to


    meet Zoe first. Hence, she would also have arranged for people to protect him secretly. In that case,


    there was a possibility for the situation to escte into a gunfight. He had no choice but to inform the


    police in advance."


    "Zoe was a smart woman. With all the time she had on her hands, she had groomed a group of


    assassins. The man who had attempted to kill Belle on the square previously must have been sent by


    her."


    "These were conclusions from the detectives whom he had hired in secret. Calvin really had not


    expected Zoe to be such a psychopath. Why would she choose to do such evil acts and even involve


    herself in assassinations? Calvin was even more angered at the fact that he had not been able to catch


    the murderer, even though he knew that Zoe sent him. He could not punish her, which made Calvin


    very unhappy."


    "He also realized how terrifying Zoe was. Thus, he made up his mind to get rid of scum like Zoe


    and Yadriel."


    That was why Calvin had notified the police to be present that day.


    "As soon as he switched the phone to silent mode, Calvin saw that the words ''My Dear Wife'' were


    shing on the screen."


    He picked up the call.
