Catherine suppressed the nauseous feeling until she rushed into the washroom to throw it all up. 4
She had drunk too much thest time that it had upset her stomachtely.
After that, she went ahead to read the document in her hand.
''Not rted'' appeared in front of her eyes in red, bold words.
What the hell? She was utterly shocked.
Mnie was not Joel''s daughter. However, he abandoned her mother to marry Nic in the past because thetter was pregnant.
In other words, Nic had cheated on Joel more than twenty years ago. That man must be Damien.
Why else would Mnie resemble Joel?
She then put the document away carefully.
This was shocking news but now was not the time to make it public.
Just as she was thinking about that, Doctor Angelo called her on the phone. "Miss Jones, the ce I was staying atst night caught on fire all of a sudden. Fortunately, you reminded me that I might be in
dangertely, so I''ve been secretly leaving through the backdoor after I get home. Your predictions are so urate."
"That''s good. Please instruct your assistant to tell the public that you died in the fire. In the meantime, please continue treating my dad in secret." 1
She sighed at Damien''s ruthlessness to harm a world-famous doctor. Luckily, she predicted that the man would target the doctor since Joel was under maximum watch.
Damien and the rest must believe Doctor Angelo was dead by now.
Yule vi.
Nic smiled delightfully at the news of the doctor''s death. "He really didn''t disappoint. Joel will not regain consciousness so soon now that Doctor Angelo''s dead. Catherine''s too stupid to keep an eye on the hospital only. She must be crying her heart out now."
Mnie was confused. "Mom, who do you mean by him? My dad?"
"Yup, your dad is on his way here so the two of you can meet each other officially. We would have to depend on him in the future." Nic patted her daughter on the head. Although she looked down on that man all these years, she had to admit that he could provide her what she wanted, unlike Joel who never stopped thinking about Sheryl.
Mnie looked at her with expectant eyes.
Tem minutester, a man was pushed inside in a wheelchair.
Mnie was stunned to see him, but eventually, she thought it all made sense.
No wonder she looked like Joel even though he was not her real father. Moreover, Uncle Damien had spoiled her since she was a child. No matter what she did, he would always help her.
"Mnie,e over here. I''m your dad." Damien gestured at her.
"Uncle Damien... It''s you?" She walked toward him hesitantly.
He frowned, and Nic quickly exined the situation. "Actually, your uncle has been interested in me since twenty or so years ago. But I didn''t know better and put all my hopes on Joel. In order to marry him, your uncle and I even... After that, I told them that my child belongs to Joel to make him marry me. All these years, your uncle has been looking after us. Without him, Catherine would probably have full control of Yule Corporation by now."
"Stop calling me uncle. Call me dad instead." He held Mnie''s hands. "I''ll give you the best."
"Thanks, Dad." She wrapped her arms around his neck.
Damien treated her so much better than Joel. "Dad, I hate Catherine. I want her dead."
"I''ll make anyone who bullies my daughter pay for their actions. But the priority right now is to speed up your wedding with the Campos family," he said.
"The Hill family will have no ce in this city once the Yule and Campos reunite."
