Stay Around You Now And Forever

Chapter 400: How Do You Know the Mole Wasn’t Me?

“You?” Joseph was obviously shocked.

Emily was Talia’s daughter? Whose daughter was Wendy?

“Didn’t you find out clearly from the beginning that Talia’s daughter is me?”

It was impossible for them to go to the Bentson City without inquiring about such an important matter.

“Yes.” Joseph, who experienced a lot, quickly calmed himself down.

Emily was calm, without the slightest bit of nervousness. She did not seem to be lying at all.

“From the beginning, we found out that Talia’s daughter is indeed you. When Grandfather and I went to the Bentson City, we were sure that you are my sister.”

“But? Is it because Kate told you that Talia’s daughter was Wendy after she found out your identities and intentions?”

Emily could basically guess the whole process.

To Kate, Wendy was the most important person.

Of course, Kate had to leave all the good things to her daughter.

Moreover, Wendy had already pretended to be the granddaughter of Matriarch Jackson.

It wasn’t strange to continue pretending to be the granddaughter of Patriarch Gale.

Joseph thought for a moment before nodding. “Yes. Kate told us that Wendy was Talia’s daughter.”

Wendy and Emily were about the same age, so from their appearances, it was impossible to tell who was older and who was younger.

In short, in terms of age, the two of them were possible to be Talia’s daughter.

Since Kate said Wendy was Talia’s daughter, they naturally had to find Wendy first.

“But, Emily, I don’t want to doubt you. I just want to tell you that we …”

Joseph paused for a moment, as if he was in a dilemma.

Emily knew that he didn’t want to hurt her self-esteem. Joseph was really good to her.

She smiled and said, “You want to say that Patriarch Gale and Wendy did a DNA test which shows that they are related by blood, right?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

He was embarrassed to speak that, so she said it.

Joseph let out a sigh of relief before nodding. “So, Emily, is it possible that you made a mistake?”

“No.” Emily replied straightforwardly with a determined expression.

“Furthermore, I didn’t come here to pretend to be Patriarch Gale’s granddaughter.”

“Emily, that’s not what I meant.” A person who saw Patriarch Gale’s accident on the road and immediately came to rescue him was definitely not a bad person.

Moreover, Joseph believed in his insight.

Emily was a kind girl.

Emily was grateful for his trust in her. This feeling of being trusted was nice and warm.

You didn’t need to try your best to explain and prove.

If Joseph said he trusted you, he really trusted you.

This was enough for her.

“I’m not Patriarch Gale’s granddaughter either. I personally took his hair to do a test.”

Seeing his shocked expression, she earnestly apologized, “I’m sorry. I just have doubts.”

“It doesn’t matter. If you have any doubts, prove it. You’re not wrong.”

“In short, I am not Patriarch Gale’s granddaughter, but I am really Talia’s daughter. I … have done the test.”

She and Matriarch Jackson had made a test, even though the report had been destroyed.

However, she had done it before. The test could not be fake.

Joseph did not say anything. Since she came to find him, she definitely had something else to say.

He only needed to wait for her to continue.

Emily took a deep breath before continuing, “The one who dated with Harley is Talia. Talia’s daughter is me, but I am not Patriarch Gale’s granddaughter.”

After saying that, she felt that she was humiliating her mother.

But in order to prevent Patriarch Gale and Joseph from being deceived by Wendy, even if she humiliated her mother, she had to say the truth.

“Although I don’t want to admit it, … perhaps, my mother dated other men other than Harley.”

“Wait a moment.” Joseph waved his hand.

He rubbed the corner of his eyebrows. Emily knew that he found it hard to accept.

This was not a matter of who lied to whom. If Talia’s daughter wasn’t one of the Gales, Patriarch Gale didn’t have any biological granddaughter.

If Patriarch Gale knew about this, he would … black out.

Emily did not say anything. She could only wait for him to accept it and calm down.

In the end, Patriarch Gale was the one who suffered the most.

Patriarch Gale was in his seventies, although he still looked very strong.

However, he really couldn’t withstand such a blow.

The servant knocked lightly on the door and said, “Mr. Joseph, here are the snacks.”

Joseph wiped his face and said, “Come in.”

The maid pushed open the door and placed the snacks on the coffee table.

In front of Emily, there were a lot of snacks and sweet soup.

In front of Joseph, there was only a cup of hot tea.

After the maid left, Emily picked up a piece of cake and tasted it.

Actually, there was something wrong.

In this kind of atmosphere, people could relax by eating some pastries.

She was also nervous and worried. To put it bluntly, they really didn’t know if Patriarch Gale could handle the truth.

Joseph also picked up the cup and tasted the tea.

Afterwards, he put down the cup and unconsciously swept his fingers across the rim of the cup.

“I understand what you mean. You want to say that you are not Patriarch Gale’s granddaughter, and neither is Wendy?”

“I’m not sure. After all, you’ve done DNA tests with her, but …”

Emily looked at Joseph sincerely and seriously.

“If someone knew that you would make a test, they could make preparations beforehand and change the conclusion on the report. Is that possible?”

Joseph did not respond. He was just thinking.

If someone wanted to change the result of the test to “no”, then they just needed to spend some money.

However, if someone wanted to change the result of the test to “yes”, they had to find a person who was really related to Patriarch Gale by blood.

Unless they changed Patriarch Gale’s blood samples.

“Joseph.” Although Emily wasn’t used to call him like that, she was a little reluctant to change it.

“The simplest way to tell the truth is to do another test without letting anyone know it.”

“You mean you want me to take a test in private?”

“I don’t trust anyone else. I don’t know if there are Wendy’s accomplices here.”

Patriarch Gale was deceived. The conclusion of the test was changed. Wendy pretended to be Patriarch Gale’s granddaughter.

Wendy alone would definitely not be able to do such a big thing.

Of course, it was possible that the person outside were too powerful. He could help Wendy solve all these problems.

No matter what, it was true that Wendy had accomplices.

“Then you,” Joseph looked at Emily and narrowed his deep eyes. “How can you be sure that the person who joined forces with Wendy in the Gales is not me?”
