Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Kimberly lowered her head and stared at her toes in a daze.

"Kimberly, the Shell family has always been very nice to you. Even if you're not my biological daughter, I gave you a lot since you were a child, right? The Hanover family came to us and you're now the daughter of the Hanover family. You won't get rid of us, right? Of course, it doesn't matter if you do. I brought you up and spent a fortune on you, so you'll have to pay me."

Kimberly looked up in astonishment.

She was still hesitating but Mrs. Shell just told her the truth bluntly.

Kimberly's eyes quivered. "So... I'm not your biological daughter?"

Mrs. Shell found Kimberly's reaction strange. Why was Kimberly so miserable? Mr. Shell was conflicted as he stared at Kimberly. He sighed, "Kimberly, you... You're not our biological daughter. Back then... we adopted you from an orphanage."

As expected, Mr. Shell's tone was gentle and warm. Kimberly glanced at him and realized that her father seemed to age a lot. There was a hint of love and pain in his eyes but his reply stung her heart. She lowered her eyes and gave a hollow laugh. "I didn't expect it to be true. I always thought that I was your daughter. I even hoped that Secretary Sharpio was lying to me but... it's all true." "Are you okay?" Mrs. Shell gave Kimberly a strange look and continued, "Isn't it great that you're not our daughter? It's the Hanover family we're talking about. I asked around and they're on par with the Yardley family. What's wrong with becoming a part of the Hanover family? Kimberly, wake up. From now on, you're the daughter of the Hanover family. We're your adopted parents and don't forget about your sister."

Mrs. Shell came over and held Kimberly's shoulder. She added, "Are you listening? Erica loves you and she knows that you love her very much too. If she needs anything in the future... You must help her, okay? Is the Hanover family looking to adopt a daughter? Perhaps, you should just bring Erica with you, right?"

Kimberly did not know what to say.

"I'll ask you one last time. I'm... not your biological daughter? You're lying to me for the money and glory, right? After so many years, I can't believe that..."
