Chapter 258
Catherine's POV
I was a little surprised when I received Blake's call. I had something to ask him as well, so, I went straight to his company.
For some reason, I felt panicked as I went up in the elevator. I had no clue why, but I knew something was wrong. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
When I reached the door of Blake's office, two assistants greeted me politely, "Lycan Luna, are you here to see King Blake?"
Lycan Luna?
The address reassured me a little.
Everybody called me this when they saw me. I felt I was already Blake's wife.
I couldn't help but feel happy about it. I found that happiness came just in time, and I could relax and enjoy this perfect life of mine.
I knocked on the door. Blake answered, so I pushed the door open and walked toward him. He was sitting by his desk.
But when I was halfway there, I paused, and my eyes widened.
Because I saw two things on Blake's desk.
One of them was the necklace that I lost. The other one was from the royal treasury. The two necklaces were placed together.
"Blake, what is this about?" I was shocked and quickly walked over. I picked up my necklace and looked at him, who was sitting in front of me.
Blake's face stiffened and he looked solemn. He didn't answer me.
My voice trembled as I said, "Why do you have my lost necklace? Wasn't it stolen? Did you take it?"
Blake's gaze fell gently on my face. Then he said coldly, "Yes. I took your necklace. And I bought the other piece from the royal treasury."
My heart trembled. I asked, "Why did you do this? Why did you take my necklace? And you lied to me that it was stolen by a maid! What were you up to?"
It was bad to be deceived, but it was even worse to be deceived by someone you loved.
I was angry, confused, and miserable.
Blake gave a self-deprecating smile. "Do you want to know why? Take a look. These two necklaces are a pair. The other piece was donated to the royal treasury by Halsey's father. Do you know why he donated it? Because the Fox family would be sad at the sight of it. The necklace belonged to a little boy, who did not live long. The Fox family donated it because they didn't want to see it. It would remind them of the boy. You know what? The little boy also had a twin sister. The necklace in your hand belonged to the daughter of the Fox family, and you are Halsey's lost daughter."
I kept shaking my head because none of his words made sense to me.
The Fox family? I had never heard of them or my twin brother before.
All I knew was that Blake said these with a hint of cynicism and anger.
But what did any of these have to do with me? I knew nothing about it.
"So, you lied to me again, right?" I tried to smile, but tears came down from the corners of my eyes. I choked and said, "You told me that my parents had passed away. How come I am the daughter of the Fox family all of a sudden?"
Suddenly, Blake was like a stranger to me. So strange that he scared me.
His expression was cold as if I was his enemy.
But how could I be his enemy?
A look of embarrassment and sorrow crossed Blake's handsome face.
Tears slid down my cheeks. I wiped them off with the back of my hand, trying to look strong. I was mad and I blamed him, "Blake, I never thought that you were a liar. How could you curse my parents? Tell me. What else did you lie to me about? Was your love for me a lie as well? You only wanted the kids, so you pretended to love me. You even said that you wanted to marry me. How ridiculous! I actually believed you. You liar!"
A deep pain was hidden behind Blake's eyes.
His tone was still cold as he said, "What if I say yes? I pretended to be in love with you, but my real intention was to bond with the kids. I gave you a career and made you neglect the kids. Now they rely on me and my grandparents. And you..."
Blake suddenly stopped talking.
"Why? Why did you do this to me? Blake, this is too much." I wanted to rush over and slap him hard.
I was so angry that I felt I was going crazy.
"What if I lied to you? Do you have any idea what your father did to me? Do you know who Halsey is? He is the bastard who married my mother. He is my nightmare. Catherine, I knew who you were when I looked into the background of these necklaces. You are Halsey's daughter, the daughter of my enemy. Now you know why I lied to you."
Blake suddenly told me the truth, which was so cruel.
I was completely stunned. I watched him standing up in front of me. He couldn't restrain his emotions. His fierce, hateful look froze me.
"What are you talking about? I am the daughter of your enemy? Blake, is this some sick joke? How can I be..."
"I am not joking. Actually, not long ago, I had your DNA checked with Halsey's. You are indeed his daughter. When I hate someone, I won't make any mistakes, regardless of the relationship." Blake laughed sarcastically.
My entire body trembled. My vision was getting blurry, and I couldn't stand firmly.
I tried to be calm. I had to hold on. I could not just pass out like that.
"Are you sure?" I asked, unwilling to give up.
Blake nodded. "Yes. I have confirmed it."
"Why bother? Anyway, you do not love me. You've been playing with my feelings all this time. You must have hated me when you knew I had that necklace. Why do you need to confirm it? Will you still love me if I am not Halsey's daughter?"
I calmed down. I had a habit of calming down before doing anything. I knew for a fact that fretfulness was of no avail.
