After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498 You Are The Daughter Of Alicia Campbell

I was stunned momentarily after hearing what Janette said. A trace of panic rose within my heart. I recalled how Alicia treated me nicely the first time we met. My heart skipped a beat as I heard what her daughter said.

I immediately suppressed my anxiousness and recollected myself. As I cast an indifferent look at Janette again, I noticed her gaze was filled with rage.

“Ms. Campbell, I hope you don’t say such a thing ever again! Please get this clear. I have my parents, and I am not your mom’s illegitimate child!”

I have grown up with my parents since I was a kid. They are my biological parents. How could I be Alicia’s illegitimate child? Janette must have been mistaken.

“You can’t just deny such things with words! And I came here today to tell you something. I would never approve of an illegitimate sister like you!”

She seemed to be ignoring my explanation completely. After shouting harsh words toward me, she did not give me a chance to respond as she left abruptly.

She closed the door rudely with a loud bang. I froze on the spot, devoid of expression. My mind kept thinking of what she had just said.

She said I am Alicia’s illegitimate child. How could that be possible? This must be some mistake!

However, if what she said is not valid, why did Alicia treat me so nicely from the beginning? Not only did she cook for me, but she also asked me a lot of questions about my childhood. What exactly is going on?

I was left utterly dumbfounded. Even though I had my parents, I could not help but start to suspect if what she said was right.

I did not know why but my body kept trembling incessantly. I had no idea why I was so afraid.

I had no mood to work anymore, so I took out my phone anxiously and dialed Michael’s number.

My mind went blank. I had never expected such a thing would happen to me.

I wished I could ignore what Janette said. Yet, her words kept echoing in my mind.

“Are you done with work? Why are you calling me now?”

The call went through, and Michael’s gentle voice appeared. However, I was not in the mood to exchange pleasantries with him.

“Michael, a girl came to my office to see me just now.”

I grabbed the phone tightly and spat out those words with a mixed feeling.

“Many people go to your office to see you every day. What’s so special about this girl?”

Michael still sounded casual as he spoke. He did not notice something was off with my tone.

“Her name was Janette, and she was Mrs. Campbell’s daughter. She told me just now that I was Mrs. Campbell’s illegitimate child.”

My expression turned utterly ugly as I said that. To me, an illegitimate child sounded highly insulting.

I thought Michael would respond by saying that Janette was talking nonsense. Yet, there was a long silence from his end. I waited for him to speak, but he did not.

I felt a little uneasy with his sudden silence. I grabbed my phone and asked him, “Michael, why aren’t you saying anything? Did you hear what I have just said?”

“What would you do if what she said is true?”
