"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 i n 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.
