A Love Trap

Chapter 865 Camelia Was Found

"Okay," they both answered in one voice.

When Ashley walked out with the two kids, she was about to take them to their bedroom.

All of a sudden, she felt a strong force behind her and was pulled aside.

Ashley's first reaction was to resist. She frowned as she smelt a strong smell of alcohol.

But, she knew this man.

"What the hell is going on?"

she asked, looking at Jeremy in confusion.

Didn't Jeremy call Andrew to meet with him? Then what was he doing here?

However, Jeremy was followed closely by Andrew and he saw how Ashley was pulled aside by Jeremy.

His gaze fell right on Jeremy's hands, which were placed on Ashley's body.

He immediately had the urge to cut off his hands.

Yet, he curtailed himself. In the next moment, he stepped forward to put his arm around Ashley's waist, avoiding her and Jeremy's gaze.

Although he knew that they might be brother and sister, still he would never allow any physical contact between them.

Andrew too sensed a faint smell of wine. Surprised that she was caught in his arms, Ashley looked at him with puzzlement. "Didn't you go out? Why did are you here suddenly?" she asked.

Before Andrew could say anything, Jeremy, who was beside her, took out his pendant and showed it to Ashley.

"You have the same pendent, don't you?"

He sounded quite anxious, as if he wanted to find something instantly.

The moment Ashley saw the pendant in Jeremy's hand, she stared at it without blinking.

If Jeremy hadn't taken out the pendant, Ashley would have thought it was hers.

She had worn it for more than twenty years and was familiar with it.

Soon, she pushed Andrew away and walked up to Jeremy.

Ashley stretched out her hand and took the pendant from Jeremy's hand. She then placed it in her palm and rubbed it gently.

Then she looked up at Jeremy and said, "Yes, I have one, in fact the same one. Is that yours?"

"You really have one? Is it yours?" Jeremy asked, looking at Ashley in surprise. He couldn't help but put his hands on her shoulders.

"Yes, it has been with me since I was a child."

"Then where is it? Can I have a look?" Jeremy asked eagerly.

"Okay."

Ashley gazed at Jeremy's excited face, and vaguely guessed something.

Even so, she felt calm inside.

She had always been dying to find her family.

But recently, her yearning had subsided a lot.

She now had her own family, a husband and her beloved children and was quite content.

She would certainly be happier if she could find her family. But if she couldn't, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, Ashley already had enough love from Cynthia and Zen, her adopted parents.

So, even though Ashley still wanted to find her family, she was not as excited as before.

Andrew stood aside and watched Jeremy put his hands on Ashley's shoulders.

The sight made his eyes darken. He walked up to them and pried Jeremy's hands off Ashley's shoulders without being noticed.

He put his arm around Ashley's waist once again and said, "I know where it is. Let's go."

Andrew held Ashley and they were about to go get the pendant. Suddenly, thinking of the two children, she whispered to him, "Wait."

She turned to the kids and said, "You both go back to your room and take a shower. Go to bed after that. You have classes tomorrow. Sleep well, alright? I love you."

"Okay, Mommy, we love you too,"

the kids replied in unison.

"Good kids,"

Ashley said, kissing them.

Then she looked at Andrew and Jeremy and said, "It's in the bedroom. Come with me."

Andrew walked right behind Ashley blocking her from Jeremy.

Jeremy followed closely behind.

There was a faint smile in his eyes.

Ashley walked into the bedroom, took out her pendant from the bedside table and gave it to Jeremy.

Andrew glanced at Jeremy with an unfriendly eye.

Jeremy took the pendant and examined it closely. Then, he checked the bottom of the pendant.

There was a small letter engraved at the bottom.

It was "C", which stood for Camelia.

His own pendant also had a letter engraved on it.

The letter on his pendant was "J", which stood for Jeremy.

When Jeremy saw the engraved letter, he held the pendant tightly in his hand.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Ashley with excitement.

"Is this what you have been wearing?" he asked.

Ashley nodded and said, "Yes, I've been wearing since I can remember. I took it off just a few days ago."

"Camelia, you are Camelia!" Jeremy looked at Ashley excitedly. The happiness in his eyes was obvious. He took a step forward to hold her hand.

But it was too late. Before Jeremy could hold Ashley's hand, Andrew swiftly pulled her towards him.

And Jeremy missed.

But still, Jeremy was happy. Though he didn't get to hold his sister, it was quite satisfying for him to learn the truth.

Ashley was confused. She had already heard something from Andrew.

She also knew that Jeremy had been looking for his sister.

But hadn't he already found his sister?

Wasn't it Angelina?

It was only a few days ago when Ashley saw them walking on the street and even holding hands intimately.

Confused, she looked at Andrew.

Andrew gazed back and shook his head.

"That Angelina, she is not his sister. She pretended and deceived them, though."

"So she was an impostor?" Ashley was surprised.

'How could she fake it?' she thought.

"Yes."

Andrew put Ashley behind him and stared at Jeremy. "How can you decide just by this?" he asked.

Andrew believed Jeremy.

But could this pendant be the only proof that Ashley was Jeremy's biological sister?

They just experienced the same misjudgment with Angelina.

Hence, Jeremy had to be extra careful regarding this matter.

Jeremy looked at Ashley and hesitated. "Can you give me a strand of your hair? I want to take it to the hospital for DNA testing and further confirmation."

"Of course."

Ashley agreed at once. She took a few strands of hair off her head and handed them to Jeremy.

"Thank you."

Jeremy looked straight at Ashley, as if he wanted to engrave her face into his mind.
