Chapter 281 Suspicion

"Yes, you're right. We should give her some time to get used to the news. By the way, who is this Angelina? I thought we were talking about Camelia. Who is Angelina?" Belinda inquired.

"Angelina is Camelia. She is called Angelina now. She was adopted by a family. I'll bring her home when the time is right," Jeremy explained.

Although Belinda was eager to see her daughter, she knew he was right. After all, Camelia had just figured out her identity and she needed time to accept the truth, so Belinda reminded herself not to be too pushy. Otherwise, it might spoil things.

"Okay, I'll leave it up to you.

And Jeremy, take care of yourself and don't work too hard. Besides, you're welcome to come home any time. We all miss you,"

she said tenderly.

He replied softly, "I know, Mom. I'll come home when I'm done with my current business."

He hung up and put his phone away.

He had always known that his mother cared about him, even though, deep down she blamed him for losing his sister. However, she couldn't overcome the sadness, and this had created a distance between them.

Angelina finally composed herself after what Jeremy had said.

'Am I really his biological sister?' she asked herself.

She never thought of the possibility.

In her childhood, she had imagined that she belonged to a family that owned a big group of companies or that she came from a famous family and would be found by them some day. However, now that it was actually happening, she was completely at a loss. She didn't know what to do or how to feel about the whole thing.

After Jeremy had disappeared to take the phone call, she realized that he had left the report on the table.

Picking it up, she read it again and again. She knew that the report wouldn't lie, but she still was bewildered.

She noticed the spoon used by Jeremy and had an idea. Without hesitation, she put the spoon in her purse, and then put a new one in its place.

She returned to her seat with her heart beating faster.

"Angelina,"

Jeremy called gently when she settled down.

Startled by his appearance, Angelina put her

all; he treated her like a stranger.

Susie tried her best to join them by keeping the conversation going with Angelina using as many topics as she could think of. As for Jeremy, it was difficult for him to get a word in, putting him in a helpless position.

Angelina noticed his helplessness, so she interrupted Susie and said, "I'm sorry, I still have some other business to take care of. I have to leave now."

Jeremy grabbed this opportunity and suggested, "I'll drive you home."

Angelina rejected his offer. "Thank you, but it's not too far from here. I can take a cab."

Jeremy wouldn't take no for an answer. He said, "Please let me drive you home. Otherwise, I'll be worried about you."

Although his tone was gentle, Angelina could tell that he was determined.

"Okay, then."

Angelina turned to say goodbye to Susie. "Miss Lu, I have to go. Nice talking to you. See you later."

Susie replied, "Me too. See you later."

After saying their goodbyes, Angelina and Jeremy left together.

Susie was jealous when she saw them leave together. 'Jeremy has never driven me home, ' she thought, feeling a little disappointed.

However, she knew that the reason he treated Angelina like that was because she was his sister. Nothing would change that, no matter how jealous she got.

The only reason for Susie to be nice to Angelina was to make Jeremy notice her. As for the others, she didn't care.
