Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson)

Chapter 399: I’m Talia’s Daughter

Ask Wendy?

Sasha hadn’t thought about it, but Patriarch Gale and Joseph had both said that they had personally done the test.

There were mistakes, which showed that there was a mole in the Gales.

Could it be that there was a mole in the Gales?

“I don’t doubt anything. I just came to greet Wendy’s family.”

Sasha smiled at Emily and said, “Since Wendy and Dad have done the test, then the conclusion is definitely true.”

Emily wanted to use Sasha to bring Wendy’s lie to broad daylight. It seemed that they weren't on good terms.

“Wendy and I are family. There shouldn’t be any doubts between us, right?”

Emily smiled and did not respond to Sasha.

Emily doubted whether Wendy and Sasha were family.

It didn’t matter whether Emily should have doubts or not. What mattered was whether she had ever doubted it herself.

“It’s getting late. Ms. Gale, I’m a little tired. Why don’t you go back and take a rest?”

Although Ms. Gale looked warmer than her sister, she was so greedy.

Emily did not want to associate with such a person.

Since Emily was not related to Patriarch Gale, there was no need for her to interact with the Gales.

If other than Patriarch Gale, Joseph was the only one who could be trusted b Emily.

“Alright then. You should rest early. I’ll go back first.”

Sasha smiled at her again before turning around and walking out the door.

As she walked out of the corridor, she saw a person leaning against the corridor leading to the balcony on the second floor.

On such a large second floor, there were only the two of them. Suddenly, Sasha felt a little terrified.

“Sasha, it’s so late. What are you talking about with Emily?”

Wendy took the initiative to walk towards Sasha.

Wendy was gently smiling, and she was even more polite than before.

Seeing that there was no one around, Sasha also smiled and greeted her.

“Your sister is here. Of course, I have to ask her if she needs anything so that I can arrange it for her.”

The smile on Sasha’s face was almost the same as Wendy’s.

It was warm, gentle, without the slightest bit of aggressiveness!

“However, your sister doesn’t seem to have a good temper and she is very impatient. I have no choice but to come back first.”

She approached Wendy who suddenly took a step back and smiled at her.

“She is not related to me by blood. Moreover, she has always been disobedient. She has been a bad student since childhood. I and my adoptive parents have basically given up on her.”

Sasha was still walking towards her. Wendy was a little nervous, but she was still smiling.

“Auntie, what do you want to say? Why don’t we go to my room and talk about it?”

“It’s late …”

“Auntie, I heard that Joseph’s performance in the company is very good, much better than Francis’.”

Wendy stared at Sasha who wanted to continue approaching, and the smile on her face finally disappeared completely.

She said with a cold tone, “Grandpa said that if he handed the Gale Group over to me in the future, Joseph will be my top partner. His shares would only be lesser than mine.”

“What?” Sasha was shocked. She finally stopped smiling.

“Dad really said that?”

“Yes, Grandpa said it yesterday, but he told me not to tell you.”

Wendy stared at Sasha’s face that changed immediately and her thin lips curled up.

“However, I think that although Joseph is very powerful, he is too powerful. In the future, I wonder if he will respect me.”

“What do you mean by that?” Sasha finally realized that she didn’t know about the girl in front of her!

“I don’t have any other intentions. I just feel that if I can, I would rather choose Francis as my partner.”

Wendy turned around and walked towards her room.

“Sasha, come to my room and have a cup of tea. After I returned, it seemed that we haven’t had a good chat.”

Sasha had mixed feelings. If Sasha followed Wendy in, she might need to participate in something.

However, if she didn’t go in, what good would it do for her?

Just as she was about to take a step forward, she suddenly saw a person.

Sasha paused and turned to look at the long corridor in the distance. “Wait a moment.”

“Huh?” Wendy stopped and turned to look at her.

Following her gaze, Wendy also saw the person at the other end of the corridor.

“Emily?”

…

When Emily knocked on the door, Joseph had just come out of the bathroom. He only wore a bathrobe, and his short hair was wet.

The water droplets fell from the ends of his hair. He looked wild.

Like the Jacksons, there were many handsome men and beautiful women in the Gales.

When Emily saw Joseph, she couldn’t help but be shocked.

“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the servants?”

Joseph was also a little surprised that Emily visited him at this point.

Hunter was still talking with his grandfather and his mother.

After Joseph came back to take a videoconference, he took a shower and was about to go to sleep.

It was almost eleven o’clock in the evening.

Emily shook her head and said seriously, “Mr. Gale …”

“Grandpa told you to call me Joseph just like Wendy.” Joseph pulled the door open and let her in.

Afterwards, he didn’t close the door tightly.

He was a very polite man.

The door was not closed tightly in order to protect her reputation.

Emily’s nose was a little sour.

Emily knew that she shouldn’t have hope, but she had.

She really hoped that Joseph would be her eldest cousin. She really wanted Patriarch Gale to be her grandfather.

That way, she would have a grandfather and a brother who both loved her.

Unfortunately, her hope wouldn’t be achieved.

“Joseph.” She still obediently called him Joseph.

Joseph smiled and pulled out a chair to let her sit down.

He poured her a glass of warm water and sat opposite her.

“What’s wrong? You don’t seem to be in a good mood. You didn’t eat much at dinner. Are you feeling unwell?”

Emily did not expect that he would notice these small things.

“Grandpa asked me to get a snack for you. He is afraid you haven’t eaten enough. I forgot about it because of the meeting just now.”

He picked up his phone and casually dialed a number.

Before Emily could stop him, he had already instructed, “Send some snacks to my room.”

“Joseph, I’m not hungry.” Emily immediately said.

Joseph disagreed. “You just ate some vegetables and rice. You didn’t eat meat at all. Aren’t you hungry?”

“I...”

Emily thought for a moment and decided not to talk about that.

The better Joseph and Patriarch Gale treated her, the more she felt that she had to explain to them clearly.

“Joseph.” Emily tightened her grip on the cup in her hand and looked at Joseph.

She took a deep breath and said, “I … am Talia’s daughter.”
