Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 598 âD-Damien, help me.â Intimidated by Joelâs twisted face, Nicola quickly hid behind Damien.
Joel turned around to glare at his brother. âDamien, I really didnât expect this from you. Itâs heartbreaking. Weâre brothers! Iâve given you everything you wanted since we were young, and this is how you repay me? Youâre a monster!â
âB*stard! How dare you do something disgraceful like this? Have you no shame?â
Old Master Yule smashed the glass onto the ground in a fit of rage. The Yule family had become the laughing stock of the entire business industry.
âDamien, Iâm really disappointed in you,â Old Madam Yule said bitterly. âNicola, Iâve misjudged you. I wouldnât have let Joel marry you if I knew.â
Nicola replied grudgingly, âI loved Joel more than anyone could imagine, so much that I had no choice but to do this so that I could marry himâ¦â
âYou show your love⦠by carrying my brotherâs child, so you can marry me?â Joel began laughing so much that tears formed in his eyes. âHow unfortunate of me to have met you. Get out of my sight! You and your daughter both!â
âDadâ¦â Melanieâs face was as pale as a ghost.
She was about to take over the Yule Corporation a few seconds ago, yet everything changed in just a blink of an eye. âDad, I have no idea about this. Iâve always treated you as my father. Please donât leave me.â
âAre you sure you didnât know?â
Catherine walked toward the other woman with a smile. âThree years ago, when dad fell into a coma after the accident, you and your mom didnât even visit him once. Even Dr. Angelo, who was treating Dad at that time, almost died from a fire. If I hadnât requested the doctor to treat Dad in secret, he might still be unconscious now.â
Flustered, Melanie quickly shook her head. âNo, I did visit him. Iâ¦â
âYou were busy trying to get married to Charles.â
Catherine interrupted, âYou even laughed in my face when the news of Dr. Angeloâs death was publicized. You ridiculed me for hoping dad will regain consciousness. I bet you already knew by that point.â
âYouâre lying. I didnât,â Melanie said with quivering lips.
Catherine spread her hands nonchalantly. âThe three of you thought you could take complete control over the Yule Corporation. You were waiting for my dad to die, so Nicola could legally inherit all his wealth. However, little did you expect that my dad would come out of the coma in less than half a year.
Time was running out so you continued deceiving him. If I hadnât shown up today, you would have a bust-up with my dad after you tricked him to hand over the shares. When that happens, he wouldâve lost everything he built for the Yule family.â
Melanieâs legs almost give out.
This was because everything that Catherine said was the truth.
âR*scal.â
Joel shuddered. He would never have learned the truth if not for Catherine.
The more he thought about this, the more he was terrified of the trio.
âGet out of my sight! Right now!â Joel looked at them hatefully with his piercing gaze.
Damienâs temples were throbbing. However, he understood that there was no point pretending at this point.
Half a second later, he lifted his head with a sarcastic smile on his face. âYou donât have the authority to do that. Iâm the president and shareholder of Yule Corporation.â
âThatâs right.â Nicola linked arms with Damien fearlessly. âDamien owns 20% of Yule Corporationâs shares. Youâre not the only one with authority here.â
âYou⦠Youâ¦â Joelâs blood boiled. He had never seen such shameless people before. âMelanie, tell us your opinion.â
Melanie stammered. âAlthough Iâm not your daughter, President Yule is my dad. Besides, Yule Corporation wouldnât have had the chance to collaborate with Campos Corporation if it hadnât been for me. Dear, what do you think?â
Charlie felt utterly embarrassed, but he was left with no alternative. âMelanie is my wife. The Campos Corporation will not stay if she doesnât.â
