Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 596 âDad, please calm down.â Catherine patted her fatherâs back worriedly before shifting her glance at Damien all of a sudden. âUncle, youâre still as unfriendly as you were before. Iâm also your niece, but youâre so biased toward Melanie.â
Damien looked at her coldly. âLike I said. Iâll admit youâre my brotherâs daughter with the DNA test report. Otherwise, I will not believe a word you said.â
âI think itâs not about whether you believe me. You just donât want me to come back for fear that my presence will threaten Melanieâs.â
She smiled despite the coldness that flashed across her eyes.
âOf course your presence affects my daughter. Youâre just an illegitimate daughter, yet youâre hoping to get a share of the Yule Corporation,â Nicola said loudly. âMy daughter Melanie has done so much for the company in recent years. Itâs there for everyone to see.â
âThatâs right.â
Some of the companyâs stockholders nodded, and one of them turned to face Old Master Yule. âWhat do you think?â
The latter frowned. âMelanie does indeed have the capability to be the successor of the Yule Corporation. Joel, finish the announcement about making Melanie the CEO. We need to do a DNA test before determining if this woman is actually Catherine.â
âGrandpa, youâve misunderstood me. I didnât show up today to compete for the corporationâs successor. Iâm only here to reveal the truth â that Melanie is not my fatherâs birth daughter.â
Catherineâs words created an uproar among the audience.
Joel, especially, was stunned.
Nicola, who grew more anxious, shouted, âI canât believe you have the cheeks to say youâre not here to compete for the corporationâs successor. In order to eliminate Melanie, you even went so far as to make this accusation. Canât you see the resemblance between the two of them?â
âYouâre spewing nonsense!â Melanieâs eyes were red with rage.
âRidiculous! Get her out of here!â Damien slapped his hand down on the wheelchairâs handle. His face was overcast.
âUncle, why the rush?â An enigmatic smile spread across Catherineâs face. âAre you afraid that Iâll ruin your plans?â
âDid you not hear me? I donât want this woman spreading lies here.â Damien glared at the security guards.
They had no choice but to approach Catherine again.
âI brought two paternity reports with me today.â She raised her arm high. âThe one belongs to my dad and Melanie shows that theyâre not father and daughter. The other one confirms paternity between my uncle and Melanie.â
After hearing that, the security guards were at a loss of what to do.
Joel snatched the reports from her hands and began reading the reports. He was livid, and his body was trembling so much that he looked like he was about to faint.
He lifted his head to stare at Nicola before shifting his furious gaze at Damien. âThe two of you are Melanieâs parents.â
Worry flashed across both Nicolaâs and Melanieâs eyes but only for a quick second. The former stomped her feet on the ground and cried out, âJoel, you b*stard. You believe anything that comes out of her mouth. Itâs so easy to forge documents these days. I swear that Melanie is your birth daughter.â
Colors drained off Melanieâs face. âDad, how can you say that Uncle Damien is my father? Thatâs unbelievable. Youâre my father.â
Damien also looked aggrieved and upset. âBrother, we grew up together, but youâre suspecting me simply based on a forged report?â
Old Master and Old Master Yule exchanged glances, looking unconvinced. âJoel, I believe Damien. He wonât do something like this.â
Joel began to hesitate upon hearing that.
Crossing Nicola out of the equation, he really found it difficult to believe this to be the truth. After all, he raised Melanie since she was a baby, and Damien was his dear brother.
