A Miracle Fault novel Chapter 30

Suddenly, tears surged up in her eyes.

She strode forward and said to him frankly, "Sorry grandpa, I am not Anayah Campbell. My name is Emmeline Campbell, the second daughter of Nicholas Campbell. Because Anayah didn't want to marry Stefan, so I was then sent to the island. Sorry grandpa, I didn't mean to do that."

Hearing that, Edison put down the file and turned around to look at her.

"Are you telling the truth?" actually, he just made the file a temptation for her to test her sincerity. If she married Stefan just for the sake of money, Edison would definitely kill her.

However, she didn't take the shares. Instead, she confessed in front of him that she was just a substitute.

Then Edison nodded, 'What a clever girl!'

After telling the truth, Emmeline finally let out a breath of relief. She had kept the lie in her mind for more than a month. She was really afraid to be exposed.

When she saw the mocking smile of both Ciara and Frank, she was aware that the day was coming. So she decided to confess in front of Edison as she believed that Edison would be a just elder. Even if he knew the truth, he wouldn't kill her. Or probably he would just drive her out away from Stefan.

"Grandpa, I am telling the truth! I didn't dare to lie to you! But perhaps Stefan hasn't known that I am actually Emmeline Campbell."

She was afraid if Stefan would strangle her if he knew that.

Edison stared at her. Actually, he wanted to tell her that she was much better than Anayah to be Stefan's wife. However, she was just an illegitimate daughter of Nicholas. And such a humble identity would only embarrass his grandson.

He suddenly thumped on the desk hard, "Shut up! Do you think it was just a game? How dare you fake yourself as Anayah!"

The cup on the desk sounded as it fell on the ground. Emmeline clenched her fists out of nervousness. She closed her eyes, "I am so sorry, grandpa." She didn't expect that Edison would be so mad. When she was about to collapse because of his madness, someone knocked the door.

She immediately turned around to open the door. Then she saw Stefan, who was sitting on the wheelchair with an anxious face.

Stefan looked at her and then went into the study, "Grandpa, what happened? Did she do something wrong to irritate you? She is just a girl. Please forgive her!"

Seeing that his grandson was so caring about her, Edison felt pain in his heart even more. He believed that Stefan didn't know the truth yet. What if he knew that she was not Anayah? Would he be really sad? Edison could tell that Stefan had fallen in love with this girl.

'No! I will never let him to be fooled!'

Looking at Stefan, Edison waved his hand, "Alright. You may leave now."

Stefan smiled while looking at Edison, who was still angry, "Grandpa, please don't be mad. You are about to reach your eightieth birthday. Just be peaceful and enjoy your life. Don't get yourself burnt because of rage."

After saying that, Stefan held Emmeline's hand and left. Then they went to the bedroom on the third floor.

After closing the door, Stefan turned around to look at her, who still remained blank out of fear, "What did grandpa say to you?"

Emmeline looked at his cold eyes. She shook her head, "Grandpa asked me to sign a paper of shares transfer. But I didn't."

"That's it?"

Stefan stared at her with his cold eyes as if he was about to see through her mind, "You have one minute to tell me the truth." He then went over to her side and pinched her jaw.

"Don't hide anything. I am still waiting." His deep and hoarse voice sounded. It seemed that he was trying to suppress his anger.
