Best Revenge: Being My Ex-Boyfriend’s Aunt novel Chapter 280

"Enough. Catherine is my daughter, and I've owed her for over 20 years. This is my house and also my home. She can stay here however long she wants. If the two o f you are not happy about it, you can move out," Joel replied mercilessly.

Nicola's face flushed with rage. At last, she glared at Catherine before she walked away. "Fine. If there are any changes to Melanie's marriage arrangements, I won't let her off the hook."

As soon as Nicola finished speaking, she left in a huff.

"Dad, I didn't seduce Young Master Hill," Catherine said seriously. She did not care about how others viewed her, but if Joel believed in what the others said, she would be really disappointed in him.

Joel let out a sigh. "I believe you. Young Master Hill probably misunderstood that you’re an illegitimate child, which is why he holds a grudge against you."

Catherine was slightly dazed. Joel then explained it to her, "Young Master Hill's background is quite pitiful. His mother, Lea, was a golden girl who was intelligent from a young age. It was why she could stand out even as a woman and inherit Hill Corporation. Back then, a lot of people in Canberra wanted to marry Lea, yet Brennan schemed against her and soon got her

pregnant. With that, she had no choice but to get married to him."

Catherine was shocked. No wonder he had been so upset when she spiked his food previously. He was particularly sensitive to this matter due to the fact that he was born this way as well!

Joel continued, "Elder Young Master Hill’s arrival to the world was an unwelcome experience for Lea. Lea also strongly dislikes him. Shortly afterward, she divorced Brennan and got married to her former lover whom she met in college. Then, she gave birth to another son named Liam."

"It turns out that... he has been so pitiful since young," Catherine muttered with conflicted emotions.

"Yeah. After the divorce, Brennan has been getting himself drunk every day. Lea, on the other hand, has formed a new family. She treats Liam with deep affection. In Shaun’s eyes, Liam and his father are intruders as they ruined his family. That's why he also hates you.”

Joel touched her head sentimentally. "Sorry, Cathy. Forgive me for making you suffer...”

"It's not your fault, Dad."
