Chapter 191
Tears welled up in Angeline’s eyes when she heard him. For a moment, she didn’t know how to reply to
the old man.
Wilfred let out a bitter chuckle.
“I almost forgot I’m blind. Can’t believe I’m all alone in myst days.” His voice was filled with regret.
Angeline quickly held his hand. It took her every ounce of willpower not to cry.
“What nonsense are you talking about, Grandpa? I’m right here.” She forced a cheery tone.
“Angeline?”
Wilfred was overjoyed. He grabbed her hand excitedly and babbled, “I’m so d you’re here. Who
would have thought you would be the one by my side before I passed on?”
Angeline could onlyfort him with words as she couldn’t bring herself to tell him the truth.
“That won’t happen, Grandpa. The doctor said just now you will recover. You just need to recuperate.
I’ll hire some caregivers to look after you.”
Wilfred chuckled. He spoke in a rxed manner as if he had ovee the fear of death. “I know my
own body best. I only have a few days left.”
“I’ll get you the best doctor-”
“No need to waste your money. It’s pointless now.”
Wilfred paused as his eyes darkened. He gritted his teeth and said resentfully, “It’s so unfair. I never
thought that the granddaughter I’ve raised would try to kill me to get her hands on my inheritance. I
thought we were family.”
Upon finishing his sentence, he clutched his chest andunched into a coughing fit.
Angeline quickly helped him up, poured him a ss of water, and fed him with a spoon.
She waited till he had calmed down before deciding to tell him the truth, even though she was worried
that his heart wouldn’t be able to take it.
“I’ve looked into it secretly, Grandpa. Joseline is not part of the Sorelle family. But I guess only Mom
and Dad would know what happened back then.”
Wilfred was stunned. However, the news didn’t surprise him as much anymore after all he had been
through.
“I see. Your mom was studying overseas with your dad when she was pregnant with Joseline. It wasn’t
until two yearster that they brought her back.”
“If that’s the case, then my guesses must be right. Mom and Dad were kind souls. It wouldn’t surprise
me if they took Joseline in,” she said grimly.
“Their kindness had nurtured a snake in their bosom!” Wilfred shouted furiously beforeunching into
another fit of cough.
“How dare they? How dare they hide something so important from me? How disrespectful of them,” he
continued.
“Grandpa, Joseline is to me. Mom and Dad have nothing to do with this.” Angeline couldn’t help but
defend her parents.
She showed even more tenderness toward Wilfred now that she knew he wasn’t aware of Joseline’s
background.
Would he still have kicked me out of the household and helped Joseline be who she is today if he
had seen thising? s, there’s no medicine for regret.
She took a deep breath and looked Wilfred in the eye.
“Grandpa, you only need to focus on getting better by cooperating with the doctor. Leave the rest to
me. I’ll make Joseline pay for everything!”
Tears welled up in Wilfred’s eyes when he heard her words. He grabbed Angeline’s hand and sighed.
“My dear child, I have reached my limit. The future of the Sorellesy in your hands now…”
Bang! Bang!
Just then, someone knocked on the door before pushing it open.

A man dressed in a suit stood by the door with some files in his arm. He nced around the room with
a straight face.
“Greetings, Ms. Sorelle.”
Angeline sprang up from her chair when the man greeted her.
“Hello. You are?” she asked, puzzled.
The man introduced himself respectfully, “I am Old Mr. Sorelle’swyer, Mr. rke, mainly appointed to
write his will.”
“I see.”
Angeline wiped her tears away, took a pillow from the couch, and ced it behind Wilfred for back
support.
“I’ll leave you alone with Mr. rke, Grandpa. See you tomorrow,” she said softly.
“Okay.”
Angeline took her bag and left the ward after that.
She noticed the solemn look on Wilfred’s face when she closed the door but said nothing.
It wasn’t her ce to ask Wilfred how he was nning to write his will. Moreover, she wasn’t after his
inheritance when she decided to care for Wilfred.
After all, he already knew the truth. There was nothing she could say or do if he decided to give
Joseline his inheritance for old times’ sake.
Nevertheless, Angeline believed that Wilfred would never do that.
She made her way to the balcony, opened it, and took a deep breath of fresh air to make herself feel
better.
Her heart felt heavy as she remembered the words Wilfred had said to her in the ward.
Tears rolled down her cheeks as scenes of the Sorelles’ demise shed past her mind.
Just as she was feeling troubled and helpless, she suddenly felt someone drape a thick suit jacket over
her shoulders to keep her warm.
Angeline froze. She knew who it was just by the smell of sandalwood on the suit jacket.
“Why are you still here? Where’s Floretta?” She turned and noticed Evander standing alone behind her.
“Francesca has fetched Floretta back, so don’t you worry. Do you want to have some Jetroinian food?”
Meanwhile, in the ward, Wilfred adjusted to a morefortable position, put his fist near his lips, and
coughed heavily.
Mr. rke’s eyes were filled with concern as he sized him up.
“Old Mr. Sorelle, your illness is getting worse. I heard you were sent to the emergency room just now.
Should Ie another day?”
“No need. My days are numbered. Let’s settle this once and for all so that there is one less thing for me
to worry about.”
“Okay.”
Mr. rke didn’t say anything anymore since Wilfred was adamant about it. He flipped open the file in
his hand.
“Old Mr. Sorelle, I’ve drafted the asset distribution agreement. Are you sure you want to hand Sorelle
Group over to Joseline?”
Wilfred hesitated upon hearing his words. It took him a long while before he answered, “Yes!”
“Okay. I will need you to sign the will if you have no more questions. The agreement will take effect
starting today.”
“Okay.”
Wilfred nodded in agreement. He then chop-signed a series of documents as Mr. rke had instructed.
