Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
”D-Damien, help me.” Intimidated by Joel’s twisted face, Nicola quickly hid behind Damien.
Joel turned around to glare at his brother. “Damien, I really didn’t expect this from you. It’s heartbreaking.
We’re brothers! I’ve given you everything you wanted since we were young, and this is how you repay
me? You’re a monster!”
“B*stard! How dare you do something disgraceful like this? Have you no shame?”
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.
“Damien, I’m really disappointed in you,” Old Madam Yule said bitterly. “Nicola, I’ve misjudged you. I
wouldn’t have let Joel marry you if I knew.”
Nicola replied grudgingly, “I loved Joel more than anyone could imagine, so much that I had no choice
but to do this so that I could marry him…”
“You show your love… by carrying my brother’s child, so you can marry me?” Joel began laughing so
much that tears formed in his eyes. “How unfortunate of me to have met you. Get out of my sight! You
and your daughter both!”
“Dad…” Melanie’s 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. “Dad, I have no idea about this. I’ve always treated you as my father. Please don’t leave
me.”
“Are you sure you didn’t know?”
Catherine walked toward the other woman with a smile. “Three years ago, when dad fell into a coma
after the accident, you and your mom didn’t even visit him once. Even Dr. Angelo, who was treating Dad
at that time, almost died from a fire. If I hadn’t requested the doctor to treat Dad in secret, he might still
be unconscious now.”
Flustered, Melanie quickly shook her head. “No, I did visit him. I…”
“You were busy trying to get married to Charles.”
Catherine interrupted, “You even laughed in my face when the news of Dr. Angelo’s death was
publicized. You ridiculed me for hoping dad will regain consciousness. I bet you already knew by that
point.”
“You’re lying. I didn’t,” Melanie said with quivering lips.
Catherine spread her hands nonchalantly. “The 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 hadn’t 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 would’ve lost
everything he built for the Yule family.”
Melanie’s legs almost give out.
This was because everything that Catherine said was the truth.
“R*scal.”
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.
“Get out of my sight! Right now!” Joel looked at them hatefully with his piercing gaze.
Damien’s 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. “You don’t have the authority to
do that. I’m the president and shareholder of Yule Corporation.”
“That’s right.” Nicola linked arms with Damien fearlessly. “Damien owns 20% of Yule Corporation’s
shares. You’re not the only one with authority here.”
“You… You…” Joel’s blood boiled. He had never seen such shameless people before. “Melanie, tell us
your opinion.”
Melanie stammered. “Although I’m not your daughter, President Yule is my dad. Besides, Yule
Corporation wouldn’t have had the chance to collaborate with Campos Corporation if it hadn’t been for
me. Dear, what do you think?”
Charlie felt utterly embarrassed, but he was left with no alternative. “Melanie is my wife. The Campos
Corporation will not stay if she doesn’t.”
