"What? Do you know that woman?" Ellie asked.
Ashley stopped upon hearing the question. She looked at Ellie, confused.
"I'm not sure. But that woman looks familiar."
"Well, you'll know it when you see her up close."
Coincidentally, the apartment bought by the Li family
was right next to Ellie's, the one rented by Ellie and Ashley before.
And now that Jeremy was outside, it was impossible for them not to see him.
When they got closer, Ashley and Ellie greeted Jeremy politely.
Obviously, Jeremy was surprised to see them.
"Just the two of you?"
"Yes. Why? Who else do you expect to be with us?" Ellie replied.
Jeremy laughed.
"I just thought that your guys would be with you. I didn't expect that..."
Before he could finish his words, Ellie interrupted him, "Is she your girl..." However, her voice also trailed off.
She actually meant to ask if the woman beside Jeremy was his girlfriend.
However, when Ellie had a clear view of the woman holding Jeremy's arm, the rest of her words were stuck in her throat.
She recognized that the woman was Jeremy's sister.
But surprisingly, they were holding hands
like a couple.
They even looked so intimate.
Jeremy introduced the woman to Ellie and Ashley, "This is my sister, Angelina. I think you've already met her before."
He then let go of Angelina's hand.
Angelina froze when she saw Ashley.
She just stared at Ashley blankly.
But in her mind, she wished that Jeremy and Ashley didn't run into each other today.
When Ashley saw Angelina staring at her, she felt a bit strange. She touched her face and asked, "Is there any dirt on my face?"
Ellie turned and examined Ashley's face for a while. She then shook her head and said, "No, there isn't."
"Oh. Then why is Angelina staring at me like that?" Ashley asked.
Ellie followed Ashley's gaze and saw that Angelina was indeed, staring at Ashley without blinking.
"I don't know,"
Ellie answered.
"Angelina, what's wrong?"
Jeremy also noticed the unusual expression on Angelina's face.
Although he had just found out that she was not his long-lost biological sister, the truth had not been brought out in the open yet.
So Jeremy was still sensitive to Angelina's feelings.
He was upset because Angelina deliberately hid her real identity to him. It only meant that she purposely pretended to be the daughter of the Gu family.
Angelina had deceived all of them.
Jeremy's train of thought was disrupted by Angelina's voice, "Let's go."
Angelina took Jeremy's hand again and motioned him to leave.
It seemed like she was so eager to get out of there, away from Ashley and Ellie.
"What's the problem?" Jeremy asked. His brows creased in confusion.
Angelina weakly pulled Jeremy away.
The truth was, she was afraid to see Ashley. Every time she saw Ashley, she would always be reminded that everything she owned now was supposed to belong to Ashley.
Angelina was just a fake who stole Ashley's real identity.
