Chapter 361 Reel Her In After staring at Kelly for a long time, Chloe gave up. She could not see even the slightest trace of Celeste in her. Chloe's eyes were filled with suspicion. "Are you sure you are her daughter?" Kelly's face stiffened. She knew that the woman Chloe was referring to was Celeste. But she had not expected Chloe to be so direct. Kelly didn't look like Celeste because she wasn't her daughter. However, Kelly quickly suppressed her sudden guilt and replied, "I have never seen my mother, but my grandfather did a paternity test. I was equally surprised by the result." This implied that she had the Young family's blood in her and was therefore the true heiress to the family's fortune.
Not wanting Chloe to be suspicious, Kelly quickly changed the subject. "If you recognize my mother, you have a good guess of what Rose looks like. Everybody says that Rose has eyes like my mother's." Kelly was not afraid to mention this.
Were there any of Oliver's adopted granddaughters who didn't have eyes that resembled Celeste's? Chloe frowned and thought deeply. Was it because of those eyes that Oliver mistook Rose for Celeste? Chloe suddenly felt irritable. She had asked Gabriel to cto Aquastead to meet Rose. But after he arrived, not only had he not heeded her words, but he had also failed to do the things she had asked him to. It seemed that she had to do everything by herself.
"Where's Rose?" Chloe recalled that the only person she had seen after coming to the villa today was Kelly.
"Rose... " Kelly's face changed, and her face started to sour. "I haven't seen Rose since Grandpa passed away. Grandpa loved her so much. Even if she was busy with something important, she should at least make tto see Grandpa. But alas, she-" Kelly was about to label Rose an ungrateful person in front of Chloe when a voice rang out, interrupting her. "Mom." Gabriel suddenly appeared.
Kelly looked over. When she saw Gabriel, her expression immediately changed. This did not go unnoticed by Chloe. Chloe glanced at the two of them thoughtfully.
Gabriel neither intended to say much nor did he have the tto care about how Kelly reacted to his sudden arrival. His alienation would not arouse suspicion under the pretext of Oliver's "death". He also just could not be bothered to deal with Kelly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGabriel was exhausted. Just as he was about to go back to his room, he was stopped by Chloe.
"Gabriel, cwith me," Chloe said sharply and turned back to her room.
Gabriel was reluctant, but he did not dare to disobey her. When they entered the room, there was a moment of silence as they stood in front of each other.
Just as Gabriel began to grow impatient, Chloe finally spoke. "I approve of whatever that is going on between you and Kelly." Gabriel was stunned. What did she mean? Gabriel was puzzled. "Mom, what exactly are you allowing?" "Of course, I am allowing you to be together. You are not related by blood. It is good for both of you to be together." A trace of excitement flickered in Chloe's eyes as she spoke.
"I figured it out. I hate Celeste. If Celeste hadn't cback then, I would have been the only lady of the Young family. She ruined everything. However...
"I would rather use her than hate her. If her daughter marries you, I will have a way to defeat Miles. Then, we can drive that adopted child out of the Young family!" Although the Young family was practically untouchable, its strength would be greatly reduced if there was an internal rift. Celeste wanted complete control over the Young family.
After grasping Chloe's intentions, Gabriel's face turned sour. He warned again, "I said you could cto Aquastead, but I also told you not to do anything. Otherwise..." "Gabriel, what are you talking about?" Chloe felt that Gabriel had changed a lot after coming to Aquastead. He had changed so much that even she, his mother, did not recognize him. "Anyway the matter between you and Kelly is settled. You must win her over for me." Chloe ordered.
Gabriel had too many secrets that he could not tell Chloe. So, he could only agree. Chloe was satisfied with this and he left the room.
In the memorial hall, Miles and the butler were Oliver's funeral arrangements. Gabriel caught only a snippet of the conversation.
"We'll have it tomorrow." However, Kelly, who had been eavesdropping from the shadows, caught wind of more. They had already finalized the plans for tomorrow's cremation. As Kelly listened, her heart couldn't help but race. She pondered when she should bring up Oliver's will.
After much thought, she felt that if it was someone else who mentioned the will, it would be more advantageous for her when it eventually becpublic.
But the question was, who would do it? Who should bring it up? After a brief moment of thought, Kelly settled on someone.
That night, Kelly knocked on Gabriel's door. Upon seeing Kelly, Gabriel had an instinctive urge to push her away. Yet, he was also curious about the schemes brewing in her mind.
As soon as Kelly stepped in, she threw herself into Gabriel's arms. Her motive was evident, and Gabriel couldn't help but feel a sense of repulsion.
Oliver had just passed away, and yet here she was, thinking about such things even though she was his granddaughter. Gabriel wanted to shove her aside.
But for the greater good, he held back and soothingly asked her, "Kelly, what brings you to me? Rest assured, since you're Grandpa's only blood relative, I'll assist you with whatever you need." She hadn't even begun her seductive tactics, and he was already yielding.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKelly fully trusted him. She assumed it was either her charm or the fact that Gabriel was aware of who held the upper hand in this situation.
Cutting to the chase, Kelly said,
"Grandpa has passed away. I'm devastated and helpless. I'm not even ΟΜ sure if there's a place forin the Young family's future." Tears streamed down her face as she spoke, but Gabriel remained silent. Kelly continued, "Grandpa acknowledgedand helpedfind my true fam I've always been grateful and never desired anything from the Young family.
"But I'm not oblivious to the Young family's woes, even if I'm not the m brightest. After Grandpa's death, Five there'll be a fight for his inheritance. I just hope there will be a positive outcome-one that aligns with his wishes. "But these things are beyond my control," Kelly added, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Gabriel vaguely understood her implication. Kelly was thinking about the Young family's estate. That wasn't surprising at all. But she had brought up Oliver's wishes...
"Don't worry, Grandpa prepared a will long ago. Everything is in the hands of the lawyer," Gabriel reassured her. "A will?" Kelly suddenly looked surprised.
Gabriel observed her with amusement. Wasn't that what she wanted to discuss? Why was she pretending to be surprised? "Yes, a will." Gabriel nodded. "You're right to be concerned. After Grandpa's passing, big brother, Chloe, my mom, and even Rose..." He paused briefly at the mention of Rose.
It was just a momentary pause, and
any peculiarity was quickly concealed. They are all eyeing on the m family's inheritanceX don't want to see Chaos ensuing. But we can call the lawyer. He's in the capital, and I can have him rush over tonight." "Really?" Kelly couldn't hide her delight. Having the lawyer present would make everything even better.
