Chapter 1171 - 1179: How is that possible

James Carter sat there for a long time, unable to come to his senses. He simply couldn’t understand why his sister, Jillian Carter, who was supposed to be studying abroad, could be in King Town.

Moreover, looking at the resume, she had no experience of studying internationally at all.

After reading the resume, James Carter’s first reaction was to take out his mobile phone and call Jillian Carter.

Only...

The phone number was ready, but after thinking it over, James Carter ultimately let out a deep sigh and instead called his father, who was nearby in King Town.

Father Carter was at that moment visiting the grassroots. Receiving a call from James this time, Father Carter was startled.

James was his eldest son and had always been independent. Usually, James wouldn’t call him unless there was a matter of importance.

Thinking this, Father Carter excused himself to the people by his side and moved to a secluded corner to answer the phone, greeting with, "What’s the matter?"

"Dad, Jillian is in King Town." James Carter didn’t beat around the bush, directly informing Father Carter of Jillian’s presence in King Town.

In the family, Jillian and the father were the closest because Jillian was a girl, and Father Carter doted on her more than anyone else in the house. So many times, Father Carter had more influence over Jillian than anyone else at home.

Therefore, instead of calling Jillian himself, James chose to call his father.

"How is that possible?" Father Carter didn’t believe it for a bit, "That little lass just called me last night, she hasn’t been able to come back yet. She mentioned she planned to return, but her graduation thesis had some issues, so she’s delayed now. How could Jillian possibly come back to King Town early without telling us?"

"Dad, it’s not that Jillian came back to the country early without telling us; she never went abroad at all. She’s been in King Town for several years now. Counting back the time, when Mom asked her to study abroad, she must have only been abroad for two days before she came straight back and settled down in King Town. She’s now working as a news reporter at a newspaper office in King Town. A friend of mine saw her there, told me about it, and I didn’t believe it. So I asked my friend to investigate, and sure enough, he found the resume she submitted when she applied for the job."

Who would believe such a thing at first?

A person who was supposed to be studying abroad had been living alone in King Town for so many years, deceiving everyone?

She had deceived her parents, her brother, for three whole years.

If Jane Sampson hadn’t fortuitously encountered Jillian Carter in King Town today, James didn’t know how Jillian would eventually continue the deception.

After graduating, would she have to find someone to make a fake diploma?

Father Carter furrowed his brow, his first reaction was, "Why would she lie to us? Since she’s domestically, why wouldn’t she come home? If she truly didn’t want to study abroad, she could have just told us; we surely couldn’t have forced her to go, could we?"

"Dad, I don’t know either," James Carter sighed helplessly, "Ever since the incident in the past, she hasn’t been as close to me as when we were kids. Claiming to be studying abroad, most of the time, it was me taking the initiative to call and check on her; she rarely ever called me, her brother."

"No wonder before I returned to the country, when I said I wanted to visit her school to see her, she wouldn’t allow me to go. At that time, I thought she was still feeling guilty about the past and didn’t dare to meet me, so I didn’t dare to visit her school and just returned to the country by myself." James Carter continued, "Now it seems, she was never at the school at all."
