Chapter 254: Fake Caring

When Julia saw Joey appear behind her suddenly, she let out a startled scream and dropped her

clothes on the ground.

She then lowered her voice and asked with confusion, "Why are you back? Aren't you supposed to be

in the city?"

Joey did not answer her question, but asked with an aloof expression, "Where is Dad?" This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

For a moment, Julia was uneasy by Joey's indifferent expression. But she continued nonetheless,

"Your dad is taking a nap in the room."

In the countryside, everyone had a regular schedule. They went to bed at around seven or eight o'clock

in the evening, got up at five or six o'clock in the morning, and took a nap at noon for one or two hours.

"It's good that Dad isn't here. I have something to ask you."

Joey did not want her father involved. Apart from Philip and Fiona, who had helped her a lot, the only

person she cared about and loved the most was her good father.

After a short pause, Joey stared at Mrs. Linderman with her bright eyes and said seriously, "Am I your

daughter or not?"

Julia's expression stiffened at the question. She forced a fawning smiled and said, "Joey, what are you

talking about? Of course, you're my daughter. You've been away from home for four years and the first

thing you do when you come back is to ask such a strange question? It's already noon. Did you have

your lunch? Let me cook for you."

If Mrs. Linderman had been so caring and kind to her in the past, Joey would have immediately and

happily been touched by her. But now, Joey curled up her lips and formed an unmoved smile.

Because now she knew very well how hypocritical and unreal her care was. It was so bad that in the

past, she was unable to see through her. She had always wanted to seek the warmth of maternal love

from Mrs. Linderman.

"You don't need to change the topic. You don't have to answer my question, but I can get the answer.

Now that technology is so advanced, I can randomly take something from you and run a paternity test.

At that time, we'll see the truth."

"You..."

Julia had never expected that after four years of not seeing her, Joey had become so sharp. The way

she talked was so domineering and aggressive. For a moment, Julia was overwhelmed. But she

refused to give up and started to adopt a gentle method. "Joey, did you hear some rumors outside? I've

been taking care of you for more than 20 years. How could you not be my daughter? You were in my

belly for almost 10 months. When I gave birth to you, I suffered more than when I gave birth to your

younger sister. If you don't believe me, you can ask your dad!"

Anyway, she was certain that Joey's father would not want Joey to feel awkward about her identity. So

even if Joey asked him, he would say the same thing as Julia did.

Joey chuckled softly. How could she not notice Julia's trick? Her expression turned cold as she said,

"Alright, I'll wake Dad up and ask him. But I won't ask him about this. I'd like to ask... why Vivian

became the young miss of the Moore Family."

Joey was almost certain that her father did not know about Vivian becoming a Moore. Otherwise, he

would never allow them to mess around.

Sure enough, Joey's words pointed at Julia's worst fears.

Julia's face turned pale. She grabbed Joey and said with a nervous expression, "Joey, I was just about

to discuss it with you. You know what's going on in our family. All these years we haven't been able to

provide you a wealthy life. Now that your sister becomes the miss of a wealthy family by chance, would

you just turn a blind eye to that? I'll ask Vivian to transfer you some money later so that you can live a

better life and everyone will be happy. "

Joey shook her head and looked at Julia disappointedly. "What do you mean by 'by chance'? From

what I see, it's clearly your elaborate plot! Tell me, am I... Samantha's daughter?"

Julia was shocked at that. She didn't expect that Joey had thought of that. She stared at Joey with her

eyes wide opened and was speechless.

Seeing Julia's expression, Joey's heart skipped a beat as she trembled. "Looks like I guess correctly. I

knew it!"

Realizing that she had lost her composure, Julia shook her head and waved her hand eagerly. "No, no,

of course, you're not her daughter. How could you be? You're my child, you..."

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, Joey raised her head to stare at Julia's dodging eyes and said word by word, "Don't try to lie

to me again. You can never fool me again! Now, call Vivian immediately. I want to talk to her. Do it if

you don't want to make a big deal out of it."
