Chapter 519: Chapter 520: You're Still My Real Mother

“It’s not that serious. You’re still an elder. It’s disrespect to skin you. He wouldn’t dare.”

“But I feel that there’s really nothing he wouldn’t dare do in this world, only things he doesn’t want to do.”

This wasn’t him being exaggerating. In most of his life, Alan Hoyle was the most courageous person he had ever met. For a hundred years, he thought it would be difficult for someone of Jiangcheng and Luo City to surpass him or challenge him.

Of course Olive knew how outstanding her man was. It was just that she seemed to hear another person’s voice on the phone. It sounded vaguely like Susan. She wondered whether she was listening or she had been by the old man’s side.

“If you keep praising, someone won’t be able to get through the door later when he hears it. Uncle Norton, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”

Norton wouldn’t drag on again, “Okay. I’ll ask Susan to show the project tomorrow so you guys can discuss whether the project is workable or not. If it is, you guys can proceed it.”

“Okay!” After hanging up the phone, Olive rotated her phone in her hand and was deep in thought. She made such a big move as soon as she started. Overseas investment? Why did she feel that there was something behind it?

Chloe waved her hand in front of her eyes a few times. Her state of dazed caught Mrs. Hoyle’s eyes.

She saw through her inner struggle.

“Earth to Olive?!”

Olive patted away Chloe’s hand.

Olive asked, “What did the old man say to you? You’re distracted.”

Olive put her phone on the table. “Susan just started work today and she already made a plan for overseas investment for the old man. The old man was satisfied after seeing it, but I think it’s not that simple.”

“Overseas investment?” Chloe frown, repeating the words. “Why does it sound like a pretense to transfer the hotel’s assets? That fake knockoff good is turning impatient.”

What Chloe said was exactly what Olive was worried about. It took a lot of time to set up such trap. She didn’t want to harm life, but it was either for money or framing. In short, her purpose wouldn’t be that simple.

“Hasn’t the DNA test report come out? Just give it to the old man and instantly expose her.” Chloe was a straightforward person. Scheme that beating around the bush didn’t suit her.

Olive shook her head, “We can’t alert her at the moment. Susan can’t be playing such big game by herself. She must have an accomplice. And Susan may just be a pawn and the mastermind is behind her. No matter what, what we should do is to find her accomplice or the mastermind behind her. We catch all of them in one strike.”

“It’s inevitable to make enemies while doing business. But who holds grudges against the old man?”

“If I know, I can be a god already.”

“Poor old man and Auntie Lory. When the truth is revealed, they can’t be happy and were deceived.

How disappointed and sad they would be?” Chloe sighed and couldn’t help but sympathized. “I’m really worried whether the old man can bear such blow.”

Olive was quiet.

After the short meeting, Chloe pulled her cheeks again and slightly distressed, “Say, where is the Geve’s real daughter?”

Far away at the sky, but not before their eyes. Mrs. Steele, who had been quiet for a while, stopped her work at this moment and suddenly said, “Olive, acknowledge them if you want to. You don’t have to worry about me and your dad. We’re not against it.”

Olive was stunned and couldn’t respond for a while, “Mom, what did you say?”

Mrs. Steele replied, “There are some things that you don’t have to keep it in your heart. I know that you’re hiding the secret because you’re afraid that we’ll be said. Actually, it’s really unnecessary. Your dad and I have no objection. If you acknowledge them, you have two more people who love you.”

No matter how slow she was, Olive had heard the meaning of her mom’s words. She was a bit surprised, “Mom, you knew.”

Mrs. Steele nodded.

But Chloe was confused, then she faintly seemed to have caught a little bit of information, but she wasn’t sure. “What riddle are you two playing? I don’t understand.”

Mrs. Steele emotionally said, “Didn’t you ask where the Geve’s daughter is? She’s Olive!”

“Wh—What?” Chloe couldn’t digest the news for a while and she casted a look of disbelief at Olive.

“Hey, is mom serious? Today isn’t April Fool’s Day.”

Since this matter was no longer a secret and it had been revealed now, Olive felt relaxed. It had been weighing her when she didn’t talk about it.

“Oh my God!” Chloe covered her mouth, but couldn’t cover the shocked look on her face. “Am I hallucinating? How can you become the old man’s biological daughter?”

Although she had always known that Olive was raised by her godparents, she still felt the coincidence of the crazy news was uncanny.

Olive was used to her shouting, but she still couldn’t help but retorted, “You’re not old and you aren’t deaf.”

Chloe suddenly sobered up. “No wonder you were convinced that Susan has other plan before you met her when you were in Jiangcheng. You actually have known your identity since long ago, right?”

“You can say so,” Olive didn’t deny.

“Olive Steele, I’m so going to kill you. You dare to not even squeak about such big matter. Am I still your best friend?” Chloe tackled her viciously, pushing her down on the sofa with both hands on her neck.

Olive was so overwhelmed that she couldn’t escape, so she turned to her mom for help. “Mom, help.”

Mrs. Steele continued her knitting and smiled sweetly to her second daughter, “Chloe, use more strength. I won’t be upset. She didn’t tell us the truth and deliberately hid it. She should be punished well.”

Olive squeezed out from her stuck throat, “Are you my real mom?”

“I’m not. You’ve known this since you were young,” Mrs. Steele reminded her the fact.

“But I’ve treated you as my real mother. Mom, you can’t abandon me just because I’ve found my biological parents!” Olive tried hard to turn her head towards her mom, pitifully looking at her.”

Mrs. Steele’s heart turned soft at once at her cry from calling her a real mother. She sighed, “Enough, enough. For the sake of my grandson in your belly. I’ll let you go.”

“I’m easy on you now for the sake of my godson in your belly,” Chloe followed suit Mrs. Steele’s words, then she let go. Actually, even if she could use more strength, she still had to worry about the baby in her stomach when playing around.

Olive, who was finally free, took a mouthful of breath. Then she leeched on Mrs. Steele with one arm around her shoulders. “My real mother, how did you find out about this matter?”

It wasn’t a public matter about the Geve searching for their daughter. How could her mom know that she was the daughter who the Geve was searching? It was a mystery to her. Or…?
