Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
“Dad, please calm down.” Catherine patted her father’s back worriedly before shifting her glance at
Damien all of a sudden. “Uncle, you’re still as unfriendly as you were before. I’m also your niece, but
you’re so biased toward Melanie.”
Damien looked at her coldly. “Like I said. I’ll admit you’re my brother’s daughter with the DNA test report.
Otherwise, I will not believe a word you said.”
“I think it’s not about whether you believe me. You just don’t want me to come back for fear that my
presence will threaten Melanie’s.”
She smiled despite the coldness that flashed across her eyes.
“Of course your presence affects my daughter. You’re just an illegitimate daughter, yet you’re hoping to
get a share of the Yule Corporation,” Nicola said loudly. “My daughter Melanie has done so much for the
company in recent years. It’s there for everyone to see.”
“That’s right.”
Some of the company’s stockholders nodded, and one of them turned to face Old Master Yule. “What do
you think?”
The latter frowned. “Melanie 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.”
“Grandpa, you’ve misunderstood me. I didn’t show up today to compete for the corporation’s successor.
I’m only here to reveal the truth — that Melanie is not my father’s birth daughter.”
Catherine’s words created an uproar among the audience.
Joel, especially, was stunned.
Nicola, who grew more anxious, shouted, “I can’t believe you have the cheeks to say you’re not here to
compete for the corporation’s successor. In order to eliminate Melanie, you even went so far as to make
this accusation. Can’t you see the resemblance between the two of them?”
“You’re spewing nonsense!” Melanie’s eyes were red with rage.
“Ridiculous! Get her out of here!” Damien slapped his hand down on the wheelchair’s handle. His face
was overcast.
“Uncle, why the rush?” An enigmatic smile spread across Catherine’s face. “Are you afraid that I’ll ruin
your plans?”
“Did you not hear me? I don’t want this woman spreading lies here.” Damien glared at the security
guards.
They had no choice but to approach Catherine again.
“I brought two paternity reports with me today.” She raised her arm high. “The one belongs to my dad
and Melanie shows that they’re not father and daughter. The other one confirms paternity between my
uncle and Melanie.”
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. “The two of you are
Melanie’s parents.”
Worry flashed across both Nicola’s and Melanie’s eyes but only for a quick second. The former stomped
her feet on the ground and cried out, “Joel, you b*stard. You believe anything that comes out of her
mouth. It’s so easy to forge documents these days. I swear that Melanie is your birth daughter.”
Colors drained off Melanie’s face. “Dad, how can you say that Uncle Damien is my father? That’s
unbelievable. You’re my father.”
Damien also looked aggrieved and upset. “Brother, we grew up together, but you’re suspecting me
simply based on a forged report?”
Old Master and Old Master Yule exchanged glances, looking unconvinced. “Joel, I believe Damien. He
won’t do something like this.”
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.
