Chapter 918
“Genevieve did not lie,” Yuvan said in an attempt to voice out for her.
He passed a document to Phineus and said, “I've sent someone to the hospital to find out more information. Aunt
Juliana once suffered a head injury and also a minor asthma attack.”
“Granddad, Uncle Phineus, I know that you guys have experienced a lot of hardships trying to locate my mother,”
Genevieve said.
She circled Herbert's arms and leaned on his shoulders as she continued, “But after Old Mr. Quinn brought my
mother back home, he has treated her as one of his own and has taken good care of her.”
After parsing through the documents, Phineus went silent for a moment before he said to Genevieve, “I remember
the accident involving your parents. Cooper had single-handedly planned it all.”
“Someone had exploited him. Cooper was misled to think that my father had caused his family's death,” Genevieve
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtexplained. “The person who had exploited him is already dead. Uncle Phineus, I hope that you can overlook
Cooper's mistake in the matter.”
Phineus said nothing.
Genevieve tugged at Herbert's arm and said, “Cooper knows he is at fault too. He will compensate for his mistake
for the rest of his life. I was brought up by him too. In fact, I am indebted to him... Granddad, I love you very much.
If you miss me, just give me a call. I will immediately head over to Baykeep to accompany you.”
Herbert patted his granddaughter's hand and sighed. “All right. Stop tugging. I'm getting so dizzy.”
Then, he turned to Phineus and stated, “Let's move on from the past. I am truly happy to be reunited with Genev,
and I have nothing more to ask.”
Phineus knew that his father was asking him to quit pursuing the matter.
Herbert's health was deteriorating, especially after having survived multiple near-death incidents. As his son,
Phineus did not wish to upset him. Hence, Phineus agreed.
Herbert told Yuvan to invite everyone in the Zeigler family who were in Baykeep to join them for dinner that night.
The members of the Zeigler family were startled by the sudden notice, for they assumed that they were only
summoned because Herbert was on his deathbed, and that they were to gather to listen to his last words. Hence,
they immediately took leaves from work and rushed back home to visit Herbert.
In just a matter of hours, the living room of the Zeigler residence was packed to the brim with members of the
family.
Felix, who was swamped at work, set aside his work and rushed back home too. He was stumped at the sight of
Armand in the living room. Nevertheless, he approached the latter to shake his hand.
“Thank you for the call the other day,” Felix said.
He had been suspended from work then, and it was difficult for him to investigate anything. If it hadn't been for
Armand, Felix would have suffered a major blow to his reputation following the slander.
“We are family after all. You're most welcome, Uncle Felix,” Armand said with a smile.
Uncle Felix?
Felix was stunned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHerbert took Genevieve's hand and introduced everyone to her, and Genevieve addressed her cousins accordingly
as Herbert introduced them to her one by one.
Her cousins were shocked when they were told by Herbert that Genevieve was Juliana's daughter.
Someone asked pointedly, “Another one? Grandpa, Aunt Juliana died young and most probably did not live to marry
and have children of her own. So, don't just go around claiming everyone to be your granddaughter.”
Herbert shot daggers at the brazen grandchild and chided, “Brat, I dare you to utter such nonsense again!”
Meanwhile, Zayne took over the document that was handed to him by one of his cousins. He took a look at the DNA
report of Herbert and Genevieve, as well as the photo of Juliana when she was young.
One could easily deduce Genevieve's identity just by looking at the photo, as Genevieve was the spitting image of
Juliana.
Zayne lifted his head and transfixed his gaze at Genevieve who was seated by Herbert's side with a cold, hard look
in his eyes as he fisted the document in his hands.
He was reluctant to believe that Genevieve was his cousin.
After everyone was starting to come to terms with Genevieve's identity, Zayne suddenly said angrily, “Grandpa,
ever since Aunt Juliana went missing, you had been looking for her by posting advertisements and even
broadcasting the news on TV. However, Old Mr. Quinn had the cheek to claim Aunt Juliana as his own. Have you
forgotten that Grandma had only passed away because she was overcome by the sorrow of losing Aunt Juliana?”
