Chapter 402

The content of the will was simple, but it shocked everyone who was present.

The reason for that was because, besides the fact that Joseph Garrett would continue to be in charge of Garrett Corporation in the future, Old Master Garrett handed over 15% of the shares of Garrett Corporation, as well as many real estate and private properties under his name to Nell!

Everyone was stunned. They could not believe what they were hearing.

Nell was also dumbstruck as she did not understand Old Master Garrett’s intentions.

So she stood up and declined, “Grandpa Garrett, I’m not a member of the Garrett family, and I have nothing to do with the Garretts. I haven’t done anything for you either, so it’s not appropriate for you to do this. I can’t accept these shares and property.”

However, before she could finish, Old Master Garrett raised his hand to interrupt her.

“Nelly, don’t be so quick to reject it.”

He looked at her gently and asked, “Do you remember what year, month, and day you were born?”

Nell was stunned and even more confused but she still answered honestly, “Of course I remember. I was born on the 3rd of November, in 1995.”

“No, that’s wrong. You weren’t born on 3rd November. You were born on the 26th of September.”

Nell was shocked.

“H-How could that be?”

For some reason, a bad feeling suddenly rose in her heart. The smile on her face also became strained.

“Grandpa Garrett, don’t joke around. I clearly remember that my birthday is on the 3rd of November. I’ve celebrated this date for more than twenty years, how can I remember it wrongly?”

“You didn’t remember it wrongly, because the person who told you this birthday doesn’t know the date of your actual birthday. She picked you up on this day and made it your birthday, so it’s not her fault, but Nelly, your real birthday is actually September 26th.”

Nell’s face changed.

“Picked me up? Grandpa Garrett, why don’t I understand what you’re talking about?”

Old Master Garrett gave a look at a maid standing to the side, who immediately presented a report.

“At first, I wanted to bring this secret with me to the coffin, but something happened and it made me change my mind. I don’t have much time left, and I cannot hesitate and afford to beat around the bush anymore. Take a look at this. I can vouch for the authenticity of the report. If you don’t believe me, you can go and repeat the test for yourself. It absolutely isn’t fake.”

As he spoke, he handed over the DNA identification report.

Nell looked at it but did not take it.

After a long time, Gideon, who stood beside her, took it for her and opened it.

Nell watched him and soon, her eyes were met with Gideon’s affirmative ones.

“H-How could this be?’

Her face changed dramatically. She took the report and carefully read the data written on it before her eyes finally fell on the percentage at the bottom of the report.

“Nelly, you’re actually Juli’s child. We’ve been searching high and low and could never find her, but we didn’t know that you were already right by our side.

“It’s our fault that we didn’t find out in time, and we were even cheated by Celine Jennings for so long. Now that the truth has been revealed, I hope you can accept my apology and give me a chance to make it up to you. Can I?”

Nell’s heart was completely shaken. She simply could not believe the numbers she saw on the report.

How could she be a member of the Garretts?

How could she have been picked up?

She clearly remembered growing up in the Morrison family villa. Her mother, Cathy Morrison, was so kind to her. Everyone said that they looked alike and praised her that she would be as beautiful as her mother when she grew up.

She could even remember that when she was little, her mother hugged her and told her stories about what had happened when she was born.

She had been distressed for a long time, lamenting that her mother had worked too hard to give birth to her, and vowed to repay her when she grew up.

Yet now, someone with a DNA identification report was telling her that she was not Cathy Morrison’s child, but Juliette Garrett’s?

All Nell could feel was disbelief. Gideon reached out to hold her cold hands and whispered, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

The firm and strong temperature on the back of her hands gave her some strength.

She looked up at Old Master Garrett and asked in a heavy voice, “When did you find this out?”

A trace of guilt flashed in Old Master Garrett’s eyes.

“Not long ago! We first realized when Stephanie saw the butterfly birthmark on your back. Your mother had a similar one, and it’s not something that can be faked.”

Nell could not help but laugh.

“So, you’ve known about my identity since then?”

Old Master Garrett nodded uncomfortably.

“Then why didn’t you say so then? Why did you have to wait until now?”

Old Master Garrett stalled.

At this moment, Joseph hurriedly explained, “It was because we weren’t completely sure before, and we also had to take into account that Lizzy was hurt because of Eldest Brother and Celine Jennings. We were worried that you would have problems with us because of this, so we didn’t dare to say it.

“Now that so much time has passed and any anger would have mostly subsided, it’s necessary to acknowledge each other soon or later since we’re a family. That’s why we decided to say it now after a discussion.”

Old Master Garrett nodded and looked at Nell expectantly.

“Nelly, can you forgive my previous mistakes and acknowledge me as your grandfather?”

Nell looked at him calmly.

The news came so suddenly that she was unable to digest it now.

Hence, there was no way she could give him an answer.

Old Master Garrett could see her hesitation, but although he was disappointed, he still forced a smile. “Don’t worry, there’s no rush. You can think over it slowly and tell Grandpa after you’ve thought it through.

“As for these things, a lot of them originally belonged to your mother, and you can think of the rest as a little compensation from me as a grandfather to you. Don’t be in a hurry to reject it. Think it over before you say anything.”

After he finished speaking, he started to gasp for breath.

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly took his inhaler to his mouth. Old Master Garrett took two hard breaths before his breathing eased.

Nell was silent for a moment before she asked, “If what you said is true, and my birth mother is really Aunt Juliette, then what about my father?”

Old Master Garrett’s expression stiffened at the mention of this.

The light under his eyes dimmed significantly.

“I don’t know.”

His voice was low. “The matter was a little complicated back then. I’m not sure of the specifics, but if you’re interested, I’ll take you to your mother’s room when you come back. Maybe you’ll be able to find out some clues.”

His answer was clearly perfunctory.

Nell could tell but she did not bother to expose him.

Old Master Garrett was a person who always picked words to his advantage. It was the same when he spoke to Celine Jennings, and now to her as well.
