A Miracle Fault

Chapter 30 Let Me Deal With Her!

Suddenly, tears surged up in her eyes.

She strode forward and said to him frankly, "Sorry grandpa, I am not Anayah Campbell. My name is Emmeline Campbell, the second daughter of Nicholas Campbell. Because Anayah didn't want to marry Stefan, so I was then sent to the island. Sorry grandpa, I didn't mean to do that."

Hearing that, Edison put down the file and turned around to look at her.

"Are you telling the truth?" actually, he just made the file a temptation for her to test her sincerity. If she married Stefan just for the sake of money, Edison would definitely kill her.

However, she didn't take the shares. Instead, she confessed in front of him that she was just a substitute.

Then Edison nodded, 'What a clever girl!'

After telling the truth, Emmeline finally let out a breath of relief. She had kept the lie in her mind for more than a month. She was really afraid to be exposed.

When she saw the mocking smile of both Ciara and Frank, she was aware that the day was coming. So she decided to confess in front of Edison as she believed that Edison would be a just elder. Even if he knew the truth, he wouldn't kill her. Or probably he would just drive her out away from Stefan.

"Grandpa, I am telling the truth! I didn't dare to lie to you! But perhaps Stefan hasn't known that I am actually Emmeline Campbell."

She was afraid if Stefan would strangle her if he knew that.

Edison stared at her. Actually, he wanted to tell her that she was much better than Anayah to be Stefan's wife. However, she was just an illegitimate daughter of Nicholas. And such a humble identityContent © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

would only embarrass his grandson.

He suddenly thumped on the desk hard, "Shut up! Do you think it was just a game? How dare you fake yourself as Anayah!"

The cup on the desk sounded as it fell on the ground. Emmeline clenched her fists out of nervousness. She closed her eyes, "I am so sorry, grandpa." She didn't expect that Edison would be so mad. When she was about to collapse because of his madness, someone knocked the door.

She immediately turned around to open the door. Then she saw Stefan, who was sitting on the wheelchair with an anxious face.

Stefan looked at her and then went into the study, "Grandpa, what happened? Did she do something wrong to irritate you? She is just a girl. Please forgive her!"

Seeing that his grandson was so caring about her, Edison felt pain in his heart even more. He believed that Stefan didn't know the truth yet. What if he knew that she was not Anayah? Would he be really sad? Edison could tell that Stefan had fallen in love with this girl.

'No! I will never let him to be fooled!'

Looking at Stefan, Edison waved his hand, "Alright. You may leave now."

Stefan smiled while looking at Edison, who was still angry, "Grandpa, please don't be mad. You are about to reach your eightieth birthday. Just be peaceful and enjoy your life. Don't get yourself burnt because of rage."

After saying that, Stefan held Emmeline's hand and left. Then they went to the bedroom on the third floor.

After closing the door, Stefan turned around to look at her, who still remained blank out of fear, "What did grandpa say to you?"

Emmeline looked at his cold eyes. She shook her head, "Grandpa asked me to sign a paper of shares transfer. But I didn't."

"That's it?"

Stefan stared at her with his cold eyes as if he was about to see through her mind, "You have one minute to tell me the truth." He then went over to her side and pinched her jaw.

"Don't hide anything. I am still waiting." His deep and hoarse voice sounded. It seemed that he was trying to suppress his anger.

"And…I told grandpa that I am not Anayah…" Tears shed down her cheek as soon as she finished.

She had been hiding cautiously. But now she didn't want to insist.

She finally felt relieved at this moment. And now she had to depend on fate.

She closed her eyes, waiting for being sentenced to death. However, Stefan let go of her jaw. He then hugged her gently.

She opened her eyes and happened to look into his. She felt like dreaming when she sat on his legs again as usual.

Then he whispered, "Don't be panic. You are my wife. No matter who you are, you are still my wife."

Emmeline stared at him blankly. She sobbed, "Have you noticed that I was not Anayah? And you still chose to keep it a secret?"

"Yes." He replied casually. Then he looked outside the window.

He approached to the bedside while hugging her. He turned on the lamp on the night table. Emmeline was wondering if she was dreaming when seeing his soft and tender expression. He didn't get mad or strangle her as she once assumed.

He put her on the bed and stared at her, "No matter what happened, just remember that you are my wife! Can you do that?"

'Can I?' she couldn't help but asking herself. She was not his wife and his legitimate wife should be Anayah. However, she could only nod while seeing his dark eyes.

"Just take a shower and go to sleep. And stay by my side. After the birthday of grandpa, we will go back to the island." Stefan sat up straight and went towards the door.

He opened the door and left. Emmeline sat up on the bed.

'He has known the truth before! But he didn't strangle me!'

However, she was aware that Edison would definitely retaliate against her family!

She couldn't get her father into trouble!

She was about to get up and begged Edison for mercy. However, what Stefan just said echoed in her mind, 'No matter what happened, just remember that you are my wife!'

She slumped onto the bed.

Edison, who was in his bedroom on the second floor, was staring at Stefan, the grandson whom he loved the most. He couldn't believe that Stefan was actually fooled! At the thought of that, he was rendered even madder.

"Get that girl out of the Soul Island! And let me deal with the Campbell Family! If they failed to give me a decent explanation, I would eliminate them all!" Edison kept walking around the bedroom, burning with rage.

"Grandpa, I can't drive her out. She is my wife. Where do you want her to go? No matter who she is, she is now Mrs. Stefan! Since I married her, I know myself how I feel about her in my heart. Grandpa, sorry." Stefan looked at him.

"But she is an illegitimate daughter of Nicholas! No one even knows who is her mother! Perhaps she is just a daughter of Nicholas and a woman with humble status. How could such an abject girl be my granddaughter-in-law!" Edison huffed with anger while pointing at the door.

Stefan grabbed the armrest hard and kept begging, "No, grandpa! Let me deal with it on my own! Please!"

Edison stared at him, feeling frustrated, "You have just married her for more than a month but now you love her so much? Stefan, though she is a good girl, she shouldn't be your wife! The Campbell Family really irritated me!"

"Of course you need to retaliate against her family! But please let me deal with her! I know myself well if she should be my wife. Grandpa, do you want to deprive me of my right to choose my own wife?" Stefan stared at him peacefully.

"You…" Edison seemed to notice that Stefan was no longer timid as before. He had changed a lot. Perhaps he turned to be much stronger though Edison failed to notice.
