The Innocent Wife of Scheming President novel Chapter 498

Alan lifted up his head and looked at Mrs. Steele for a long while.

Mrs. Steele bristled by his gaze, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Alan hurriedly got up to let her sit, pressing down on his mother-in-law, “Mother, can I take that as Olive has also the exact jade pendant in her hands like the one in this photo?”

The answer to the question in his heart was ready to come out now.

“Yes. Olive isn’t my and her father’s biological child. This is no longer a secret in our family. Didn’t you know it already?” Mrs. Steele suddenly was taken aback and grasped on something. “Then do you mean that the jade pendant in this photo isn’t Olive’s?”

Alan shook his head and answered, “No.”

“Oh my,” Mrs. Steele was surprised and hurriedly picked up the photo to take a closer look. This was obviously the same thing. She kept her eyes on the photo and held on Alan’s arm tightly. “Tell me now whose pendant in this picture? Now!”

Alan could even feel the trembling in her fingers. He held her hand and tried to calm her down. “Mother, don’t get too emotional. Calm down. Let’s talk slowly. We tall slowly.”

Mrs. Steele had a prior case of a stroke. He couldn’t let her emotions fluctuate too much.

Actually, he wasn’t calm too, but he had to be calm. He thought of his girl who had concealed it for a few months. He really wanted to catch her and hit her butt.

But Mrs. Steele couldn’t calm down. She lost herself for a moment and was panicking, “Wait. I’ll call her dad first.”

When Mr. Steele received a call from his wife, he happened to be in the elevator. Before he could speak, he heard a rushing voice on the other end of the phone. “Come home quick. Now.”

He thought something happened back at home. He ran as soon as he got out of the elevator and he almost hit onto the house. “Honey, what’s wrong?”

Mrs. Steele didn’t expect her husband to come home as soon as the call had ended, but she didn’t care anymore and waved at him anxiously. “Come here and take a look.”

Mr. Steele had the same reaction with Mrs. Steele when he first saw the photo, “Isn’t this Olive’s jade pendant? What’s wrong? I had thought our house is burning.”

He even almost fell down when he got out of the elevator.

Alan breathed out a sigh of relief. His girl even hid a little secret from her husband. He even wondered how she could be so sure that woman named Susan was a fake. It turned out it was her.

“Father, the jade pendant in the photo isn’t Olive’s.”

Mr. Steele was shocked. “Not Olive’s?”

Alan nodded, “Before today, although I knew that Olive wasn’t your biological child, I never heard her mention that she also has this jade pendant. She also hides it very well and I never finds out…”

“Then whose jade pendant is in the picture?” asked Mr. Steele.

Alan said, “Olive actually already knew the owner of this jade pendant a long time ago.”

“Olive has known for a long time? Then whose is it? Alan, don’t talk halfway.”

“The chairman of the Angel Holiday Hotel, Mr. Norton Geven, who is also Olive’s current boss. A few months ago, Mr. Geve was seriously ill and asked me to look for his biological daughter, but I didn’t expect that she has been by my side all this time.”

Did this mean: It took a lot of his effort to find something urgent, but he found it by accident?

He didn’t deny that he deliberately let her parents see the photo.

She didn’t say it, but it didn’t mean he couldn’t detect it. He just didn’t want to force her to say what she didn’t want to say.

Maybe, she still needed time to accept this matter.

However, he probably understood why she insisted on staying at the hotel, managing the hotel for Norton Geve, went to the hospital to give him food whenever she was free, made him happy and walked with him.

She actually felt conflicted inside too. Whether to acknowledge or not? She was in a dilemma.

Mrs. Steele stared at the photo and sighed blankly, “Since she has known everything, why hasn’t she told us anything?”

From the day Olive was adopted, the couple was ready to find the child’s biological parents. If they really wanted to their child behind, they wouldn’t leave a jade pendant as a keepsake. It was just too cruel.

Alan stood in Olive’s perspective and said, “Maybe, she still doesn’t know how to tell you guys. This time, if it isn’t for someone impersonating as Mr. Geve’s daughter, I might not notice her strangeness.”

Mrs. Steele said, “This silly girl. What’s so hard? If she wants to acknowledge them, we won’t stop her as long as she can still call us mom and dad.”
