Chapter 493 It's Better to Go Home
"Chloe, don't you think that there is something wrong with Susan? "
Chloe was not able to react to the sudden words of Olive, "Huh? What did you say?"
"I mean... Has Susan been behaving normally for the past few days?"
Chloe gave her a suspicious sideways glance, "What are you implying?"
Olive clasped her hands behind her head, resting on the seat, and told Chloe directly, "I found that Susan is unusual."
The words had been said so transparently that even a fool could understand. Chloe could not help but get stunned for a while, and then she put on the brakes and pulled up by the roadside, "you mean that Susan is a fake?"
Olive nodded, "Highly possible."
Chloe said incredulously, "How is that possible? She has a token and has volunteered to take a DNA paternity test for fear of mistaken identity."
Olive laughed gently, "Don't forget that the DNA test results of Annie and her father were made into the result of no blood relationship, so even two people that have no blood relationship can be made into the result that they are family. In this world, if people have greed, they have the opportunity to be threatened and used."
In this world, money makes the mare go. As long as one has money, he could make the real become fake and make the fake become real. It was Susan's behavior that she took the initiative to do the paternity test that exposed her.
"That's true." Chloe, who had restarted the car, said thoughtfully, recalled several scenes where she had seen Susan, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about her. But since she was a fake, she certainly would pretend. How could she let other people easily see her flaws? After a while, Chloe asked, "How can you be so sure that something is wrong with her? "
"Intuition."
"Then if Susan is really fake, your intuition will be amazing. How about using your intuition to predict which lottery ticket number you'll win today?" Chloe said with a smile.
Olive rolled her eyes at her, "No way. "
"Oh, don't be so stingy! I'll give you half of the jackpot."
Olive looked at her with contempt, "If I could predict the lottery winning number, I would have already performed such supernatural powers, and do I have to live a poor life these years? Seriously, drive your car."
"Hey, it looks like my dream of getting rich has been cut short." Chloe sighed deliberately.
Olive pat her head slightly and said, "Come on! Remember not to tell anyone about Susan's things, especially that old couple of the Geve family. We should just let them be happy for a few more days. I have asked Alan to investigate, and I believe that soon the result will come out. "
"If he finds out that Susan is really an impostor, you are causing that old couple to feel let down." She was really afraid that it would be a great blow to the old couple who had thought that their family was finally reunited.
"It depends on which direction things are going, and it doesn't necessarily end in grief." Olive showed a mysterious smile and slowly closed his eyes to rest.
"Why do I feel that you always have your tone in your cheek today? Could it be that Alan's men have found some new clues?" Otherwise, how could this woman be so sure that Susan was a fake? Chloe looked at her expression carefully, trying to see something, but could not see anything.
Olive then said calmly, "I'm not pretending to be mysterious. I just want to see if that woman is doing it on her own, or if there's someone behind it. I also hope to know if she's after the Geve family fortune, or if she has other purposes."
"Olive, you are so attached to the Geve family, and you are not that old couple's real daughter. Could it be that they are really your biological parents?" Chloe was actually just saying that casually and was not trying to sound out anything.
Olive slightly narrowed her eyes. Seeing that Chloe was still showing a teasing smile, she could not help but smile as well and asked a question back, "Do you think we look alike?"
Chloe glanced at her, "I think you and Mrs. Geve are becoming more and more alike, and no one would believe it if you say that you weren't her daughter."
"Is that so?" Olive touched her own face, and she looked in the mirror in the front of the car.
"There is a saying that after a long time living in the same house and eating meals at the same table, even if the two people who have nothing to do with each other, they will look more and more alike because of the same eating habits and habits of life. This is not necessarily based on science, but I see that you and Mrs. Geve are good examples."
Olive laughed, "When you put it that way, I find that we really look alike."
As soon as they entered the house, Olive held her mother's hand and looked at her left and right, making her confused.
"You're so strange."
"I'm sure she misses you too much." Olive's father said by their sides.
"Yeah, I miss you guys so much." Olive gave them a big hug each.
Olive's father and mother both smiled when they saw their daughter returned safely.
"Just now on the road, Chloe said that I look more and more like Mom, and I also think so. Dad, look at us, do you think so? " Olive put her hand on her mother's shoulder and put her face to her mother's face.
Her father looked at them closely, nodded, and smiled, "Yes, the eyebrows, nose, and face all look alike!"
But at this point, Mrs. Steele suddenly realized something and got shocked, "By the way, where are Annie and Alan?"
Mr. Steele also reacted. Their daughter had come in for so long and where were their granddaughter and son-in-law? Could it be that they stayed in Jiangcheng? "Yes, where are they?"
As soon as he had finished speaking, he heard the familiar voice, "Grandparents, I'm back."
The small body, like a light butterfly, came in quickly and ran to them.
Mrs. Steele hugged her granddaughter, "Oh, my baby, you are finally back! Do you know how much we miss you? "
"I missed you guys too." Annie kissed Mrs. Steele on her face, "Grandma, put me down. I'm so big, and it must be heavy for you to carry."
"It's not heavy at all. Just let me hold you for a while longer." Mrs. Steele retreated to the sofa and sat down with Annie in her arms, resting her head against her forehead and playing the simplest physical game of communication as a child, which made them so happy and burst into laughter from time to time.
Olive opened her suitcase and took out some beautifully wrapped boxes, "These are the gifts Annie picked out for you, and if you don't like them, you can talk to this little girl."
"Whatever Annie picked for us, we will like it." Mrs. Steele laughed.
"Well, I have to see what my dear girl has given to me. which one is for me?" Chloe smiled as she picked them up one by one and looked at them. There were boxes in different sizes, one red, one blue, and one purple. Then she deliberately put them to her ear and shook them, not knowing what was inside.
"Guess?" Annie pretended to be mysterious. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Chloe pointed to the purple one but smiled.
"How do you know?"
"The red color suits your grandmother, the blue color matches your grandfather, the purple one is good, which is my favorite, so I guess it's this one for me."
"So you are not stupid, Chloe."
"Hey, you really treat yourself as an adult, don't you? " Chloe reached out to pretend to pat Annie, and Annie hurriedly went into her mother's arms, seeking a place of refuge and showing a funny face secretly to Chloe.
Chloe also pulled a face and carefully unwrapped the package. After she opened the box, she saw a new set of cosmetics from an international brand, which had just been launched at home and would only be available in Luo city next month.
All women in this world love beauty, including Chloe, so she felt very happy when she saw such a gift.
When she was still in the Lynn family, she had used this stuff, and the effect was very good and suitable for her skin, but now, if she wanted to buy it with her own money, she might not afford it, because this brand, for ordinary girls, could be classified as a luxury class. If she wanted to buy a set, she might have to use her current monthly salary.
She said to herself that a good woman not only could afford to use luxury goods but also could be willing to wear inexpensive and simple clothes. Compared to living in a rich family like a bird in a cage, she preferred to live as a simple citizen. She could accept the fact that she had no money to buy luxuries because she didn't really care. She now had good friends, dreams, and hope for the future, which are enough to enrich her once pale life.
However, since someone gave her such a set for free, she still loved to accept it.
"Olive, thanks." She didn't say too much and took it.
"Chloe, why don't you thank me?" Annie pouted.
Chloe reached out and poked her nose, "Honey, I know you so well. Although you say that it was you who bought these gifts for us, I know it's your parents who paid for them. "
"Then I went with them and picked these gifts together, so I also made a contribution."
"Yes, yes, yes, thank you so much! Your grandpa and grandma have cooked so many delicious dishes, so I will give you a chicken leg to thank you then, wishing that your short legs could grow longer soon. "
Annie pouted, "I'm not the one with short legs."
Chloe teased her, "If you're not, who else will be? You have the shortest legs in this room."
"That's because I'm the youngest. When I grow up, my legs will be longer and better looking than yours."
Others were all made to laugh happily, and it was obvious that there was happiness in everyone's eyes. It always felt good to be home, where there were no defenses or calculations, and where one could relax and dissipate all the fatigue.
Just now on the plane, they had not eaten anything, so when they mentioned food, they really felt a little hungry.
Home cooking was always so delicious, and even if it was just the usual dishes, they all seemed to have a special flavor.
As soon as Annie got to the table, she started eating her food quickly, not as gently and elegantly as in the Hoyle's house. In this home, she did not have to pretend to be a little lady, nor did she have to be looked at all the time by adults that made her so uncomfortable.
Seeing her eating food so quickly, Chloe was afraid that she would choke, and just said, "Hey, girl, you can just eat food slowly. No one here will stop you from eating meals. You don't need to act as if you hadn't had enough food for several days. Could it be that the bad witch in Jiangcheng abused you? "
Of course, Chloe said such words on purpose. She deliberately said these words to someone, and she did not care whether he would feel unhappy to hear it or not.
Mrs. Steele touched her arm with her hand, "Chloe, what are you talking about? "
