Chapter 367 Guilty Rejoicing


    Hearing this, Paige was grim and moaned for a while, and then she said, "All right, you win. But you

    have to promise that if you marry Allen, you will not pick on my Lillian."


    Thinking of those things Lillian did to Joey, and that Joey soon would be Lillian''s step-mother, Paige


    worried that Joey would retaliate against Lillian. She could only protect Lillian now, not in the future.


    Feeling the spoil of Paige to her granddaughter, Joey chuckled and said, "I won''t make promises easily


    now. So, if you want me to guarantee something, sorry, I can''t do that, because nobody knows what will


    happen in the future. All I want to say is, I''m not Ynda, who can make a plot against a child."


    Though Joey didn''t answer her question directly, she could feel that Joey was not hostile to Lillian. But


    when Joey mentioned Ynda, Paige looked extremely grim.


    Paige hated Ynda so much. At that time, it was her who approved Ynda to join the Charles family,


    but what Ynda did really disappointed her. The most detestable thing was, when they divorced,


    Ynda was still trying to hurt her son and granddaughter again and again, which made her never


    forgive Ynda. Compared with Joey, Ynda was more hateful now.


    Now, the meeting was no longer necessary to continue. Paige nced at Joey unwillingly and left the


    room.


    Paige was left, but Joey didn''t hurry to go. She took a sip of the coffee at ease and then said to the


    empty room, "Come out now!"


    Then, the closed door of the bathroom was opened slowly, and it was Martha who came out of the


    bathroom.


    At the very beginning, Joey wasn''t the only person in the box. Before she called Paige, Joey had called


    Martha and showed her all the files. Then, she asked Martha to hide in the bathroom and witness the


    truth.


    When she finally knew everything, she looked distracted. She walked to Joey and sat on the seat


    where Paige just sat. After a while, she said, "I didn''t expect that. It turns out that the truth is so


    dramatic. Why didn''t you ask her who was the man?"


    "I know the man is important to both you and Allen. But more haste, less speed. I can''t push your mom


    too hard. Besides, even if you know who he is, would you recognize him as your father? You would


    only make yourself more painful," Joey said sympathetically.


    Joey knew whom Martha just referred to. He was the biological father of Martha and Allen.


    Everything came from the test of DNA Joey collected in the Charlies'' three days ago, and the result


    showed that Zelda''s imagination came true. George was neither Allen''s biological father, nor Martha''s.


    Knowing this, Joey was in joy, since she didn''t need to worry or hesitate so much.


    They were unrted so that they could be together aboveboard, and Sammy also had a brighter future.


    But soon Joey started to worry about Allen. If he knew the truth, how would he feel?


    It was not as simple as being painful.


    After consideration, she decided to invite Martha and Paige and tried to simplify the thing and minimize


    the damage.


    Hearing Joey''s words, Martha smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah, it made no difference. I would rather not


    know that."


    In all these years, she had never been considering that whether George was her real father. She had


    never doubted, just like she could never believe that her mother would behave something so shameful


    in today''s meeting.


    And George, he was not a good husband, but he was a good father indeed. Though he didn''t have


    much time to apany her and Allen, he loved them as much as Lawrence did. He had never


    forgotten to give them birthday gifts, and every time he picked those gifts by himself early. She had


    been very rebellious these years, and even Paige began to prefer Allen, but George''s love for her was


    never changed.


    However, apart from shock and grief, she also felt a guilty sense of rejoicing, because she and


    Lawrence were unrted and could be together openly. But the rejoicing made her feel evil and foul.


    She was in a mess now.


    Joey held Martha''s cold, trembling hand, and said softly, "I know how you feel. I could have not told


    you, but I didn''t have the heart to do it. Because I know you love Lawrence, and he also has some


    feelings about you. I can''t tolerate something like lovers can''t be together for some reason. Now you


    know the truth, and you and Lawrence don''t need to suffer anymore, but I have a request for you.


    Please don''t publicize this because Allen doesn''t know the truth now. Nobody knows what will happen if


    it is publicized. But what I know for sure is, that George won''t let you, Allen, and Paige get away from


    his revenge. So, please endure this with Lawrence for a while. When the timees, we will publicize


    this, all right?"
