Looking at the bank card which had been taken back, Mrs. Shell gritted her teeth and felt extremely angry in her heart.
Just like that, 5 million dollars had flown away. She had to think of a way to get it back.
As the saying went, in for a penny, in for a pound. Mrs. Shell then said in a cold voice, "No matter what, Kimberly is the daughter of the Shell family now. You've been absent for so many years, and you've not taken any responsibility. Yet, you've chere out of the blue to claim that Kimberly belongs to the Hanover family? Huh, you should get out of my house now! Get out!" Search The (F)indwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shell's embarrassment had turned into fury. Juliette's eyes then flashed a trace of smile as she said, "Mrs. Shell, do you know that failure to report a cris also considered a crin the eyes of the law? For example, when you knew that the child was missing and was in the hands of traffickers, yet you did not report it, then you and the trafficker have committed the scrime." Mrs. Shell had no knowledge about the law. She was just a housewife and didn't pay much attention to these sort of matters usually. After hearing Juliette's words, she was really flustered. "You... what do you mean by this?" "What I meant is, the Hanover family can sue you for what you've done to Kimberly. Of course, with the Hanover family's status, they can definitely hire a good lawyer. If that happens..." Juliette chuckled. "Are you threatening me?" Juliette smiled faintly, "I wouldn't dare. After all, you are the benefactor of our Hanover family." "Then, what are you trying to do?" "We hope that you will return what is ours. Kimberly belongs to our Hanover family. Therefore, you must return the peace pendant. After all, the peace pendant belongs to Kimberly and not Erica. Have I made myself clear?" Juliette felt like she didn't have much patience left. Therefore, she made things clear without beating around the bush.

Even if I had selfish motives, I've still done the duties of a mother, right? Not only did you not thank me, but you even threatenedlike this. My life is so miserable!" Mrs. Shell began to be rude and cried loudly.
Quill couldn't help frowning at her noisy voice. His breath beccolder, and his sharp eyes fell on Mrs. Shell like lightning bolts.
Mrs. Shell clearly felt it, thus she stopped for a while. She subconsciously forgot to cry when she looked into Quill's eyes.
Just at this moment, Erica returned from buying sdrinks. When she opened the door, she saw her mother sitting on the cold floor, crying. She panicked and ran over, "Mom, what happened? What have you done to my mother?" Quill stood up, and his tall and handsfigure made him look extraordinarily mighty. The way Erica looked at him becmore obsessed.
"Mrs. Shell, we'll give you 3 days to think about it. Once you've decided, just dropa call. We'll take our leave then." After Juliette finished her words, she then followed Quill and left with a group of people.
Erica stood rooted to the spot, and it took her a long tto snap back to her senses. "Alas, I just bought sdesserts. Why don't you stay a little longer?" "Stupid girl!" Mrs. Shell was so angry that she pinched Erica, "Have you lost your mind? Are you going to ignore your own mother just because you've seen a man?" "Ouch, Mom... it hurts! Let go of me!" Erica was being pinched thus she cried out in pain.
"It's painful, isn't it? What were you trying to do just now? I warn you, don't mess with that man!" "Why?" Erica pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, "I'm already a grown up and I have the right to decide on my own. I'll be with whoever I like. Don't try to hinder ii me.
Mrs. Shell stood up from the ground, patted her clothes, and said with a serious face, "He is not a kind person, and... the matter this tis not the same.' Erica had no clue what had happened. She could only snort and she then asked, "What on earth happened? Mom, how did you get to know such an outstanding man? Why didn't you mention him before? Why did he cto you?" Mrs. Shell took a look at Erica and thought for a while. She then decided to tell her the truth.
Erica could not calm down after hearing the truth. She only cback to her senses after a long time. "Mom, do you mean that... my sister... Kimberly is the daughter of the Hanover family?" Mrs. Shell nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, she is not my biological daughter. She was adopted from the welfare house. Unexpectedly... she is also the daughter of the Hanover family." At this point, Mrs. Shell was so furious that she gnashed her teeth in fury. "That d*mned woman offered5 million dollars, but she took it back. She is so hypocritical. She said that I am the benefactor of the Hanover family. Then, why wouldn't she offer to give10 million dollars instead? D*mn it!" However, Erica wasn't paying attention to her mother's words. She only knew the fact that Kimberly was actually the daughter of the Hanover family. What about Sylvia? She had paid attention to the Hanover family's affairs in the past. Therefore, she knew about it.
"What the hell? Is Sylvia a fake then? Is it true that Kimberly is the real daughter?" She wondered. Thinking of this, Erica clenched her fists tightly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPreviously, she thought that Maddox of the Yardley family was disabled thus she was reluctant to marry him. That was why her parents had asked Kimberly to replace her instead. She even felt overjoyed for a long period of time. She even thought that she was fortunate to have a sister to replace her so that she could continue to live a carefree life.
However, she didn't expect that Kimberly would live a good life in the Yardley family. She even had the life of a Young Madam, hadn't she? She wasn't as miserable as she thought, and... now Kimberly was the daughter of the Hanover family as well? The sister whom she had grown up with, had turned into someone with a high status. How could Erica tolerate this? After all, she had always hoped that one day she could marry into a rich family and becan upper class member herself.
But, how could this be? Erica was so angry that she bit her lower lip, and the smell of blood filled her mouth soon after.
"Erica? Erica!" Erica cto her senses and looked at her mother, who called her, "Mom?"
"We have reconsidered this matter. I owe a lot of debts. This time, if we manage to extract more money from ve the Hanover family, well be able to live a better life in the future. Do you understand?" Mrs. Shell said softly to her favorite daughter.
"Will we live a better life just because we received a few millions dollars worth of compensation?" Erica M m lowered heneyes, and her eyes were full of gloom. "Why do I feel that it is not enough? Moreover, Kimberly... How is she the precious daughter of the Hanover family?" "Erica?"
"No! She doesn't deserve it! First, she is the Young Madam of the Yardley family, and now she is the daughter of the Hanover family? What about me? What am I? Mom, please say that I am the Young Lady the Hanover family is looking for, not Kimberly. They have mistaken her for me. You have remembered wrongly, right? I am the child you adopted from the welfare house." Mrs. Shell looked at Erica in disbelief, thinking that she had misheard it.
"Erica, you... you are my daughter. Why are you..." "No, I'm not! I don't want to be your daughter!!" Erica screamed and pushed Mrs. Shell away, "Why? We grew up together yet Kimberly has gotten so much more. Why can't I be the one who gets it all?"
