Chapter 219


    “I told you to leave!”


    Joseline regarded the nurse with a cold gaze and spoke disdainfully. “Do you not understand what I’m


    saying? I’m my grandpa’s biological granddaughter. Don’t I have the right to speak to him?”


    “No, that’s not it. You’ve misunderstood.” The nurse lowered her head with a conflicted facial


    expression. “I-In that case, please take care of Old Mr. Sorelle, Mrs. Yiurk. Do let me know if you need


    anything.”


    She had no choice but to leave the room.


    When the nurse reached the door, Joseline suddenly grimaced and uttered solemnly, “You don’t have


    to work here anymore from today onward.”


    “What?” The nurse asked in shock and bafflement, “Mrs. Yiurk, who gave that order? Ms. Sorelle was


    the one who hired me, and she never told me I was fired…”


    At the mention of Angeline, Joseline’s face darkened, and her tone grew harsher.


    “Angeline was chased out of the Sorelle residence five years ago. How is she qualified to interfere in


    Grandpa’s matters?”


    After saying that, she took out a stack of cash from her bag and tossed it at the nurse, contemptuously


    demanding, “Leave this ce. I gave the order!”


    The nurse was stumped.


    Tears brimmed in the nurse’s eyes, but she didn’t dare to speak further. In the end, she could only


    leave aggrievedly in silence.


    However, right before she shut the door, she secretly nced at Joseline’s menacing countenance.


    She thought for a moment before ultimately fishing out her phone from her pocket and dialing


    Angeline’s number.


    Unfortunately, she could only hear the beeping sound from the speaker even after waiting for a long


    while.


    She paced around anxiously and redialed Angeline’s number a few times.


    Meanwhile, following the nurse’s departure, silence filled the air inside the ward.


    Joseline stared at Wilfred, who was lying on the bed on the verge of death. Sneering, she approached


    him and asked pretentiously, “Grandpa, how’ve you beentely?”


    Wilfred turned agitated when he heard Joseline’s voice. He stretched out his trembling hand for some


    time while coughing violently.


    “I suggest you don’t waste your energy.” Joseline walked up to Wilfred and lowered her head to look


    down at him. “I know you loathe me, but what can you do about it? You’ve already made your will, after


    all. Sorelle Group is mine now.”


    Her knowledge of such information was precisely why she dared to act recklessly and uttered those


    words to Wilfred.


    She no longer had to put on any fa?ade, finally able to be herself.


    “You… Mmm!”

    Wilfred tried to open his mouth to scold her but could only mumble the whole time without articting a


    word. He grabbed the ss of water on the table and hurled it at her.


    Joseline failed to dodge in time. As a result, the ss hit her, prompting her to yelp in pain. The next


    instant, a furious expression spread across her face.


    “D*mn old man, how dare you!” She red at him and reached out to shove him to one side. Then, she


    barked, “How dare you behave in this hot-tempered manner when you can’t even take care of yourself


    now? I think you’ve grown too full of yourself after getting pampered for so long!”


    After being pushed to one side by Joseline, Wilfredy on the bed; his eyes fixated on the ceiling.


    Only after wiping off the water on her did she drawl with her arms crossed, “Since you’re already in this


    pathetic state, there’s no need to keep you in the dark anymore. I shall let you know the truth before


    you die.”


    Wilfred stayed silent.


    “The truth is, I’m not rted by blood to the Sorelle family. I learned this after eavesdropping on my


    parents six years ago. Do you remember the 918 Explosion that shocked the nation twenty years ago?”


    Joseline bore her eyes into Wilfred hatefully.


    “The great fire at the clothes factory in the past burned one hundred and fifty people to death. My


    biological parents were among the casualties. They suffered an agonizing and horrible death.”


    He remained quiet while listening to her.


    Joseline started to get all choked up as she narrated.


    “After a thorough investigation, I realized the great fire was a nned catastrophe. Your son, John


    Sorelle, was the mastermind. Why did he drag those innocent people into his conflict with the factory’s


    owner? If it weren’t for the Sorelle family, my family wouldn’t have been destroyed, and John wouldn’t


    have adopted me out of pity. I don’t mind telling you the truth now. I killed John and his wife by


    tampering with their car.”


    “You…”


    Upon learning the truth, Wilfred became worked up. He lifted his shivering hand, and his lips twitched.


    “D*mn you, you evil woman!” he growled while fixating his eyes on her with utter detestation.


    After shouting those words, he seemed to have been drained of all energy as his eyes gradually shut,


    and his arm fell limp beside his body the next second.


    Wilfred became unconscious again.


    Looking at him, a frantic look shed across her eyes. She staggered backward and collided forcefully


    with a cab. The acute pain pulled her back to her senses.


    “Ah!”


    She gasped in agony before slowly recollecting herself after some time.


    Why should I feel scared? Sorelle Group is already my property. Once Grandpa dies, I’ll be


    Sorelle Group’s Chairman. I can’t wait for when that happens!


    The night arrived, and the lights lit up.


    Moistdore Cosmetics was tasked to handle Angeline’s look for the night. She wore a sky-blue evening


    gown, and her curly hair was braided andbed to one side of her shoulder. A few flower-patterned


    clips adorned her hair.


    Her appearance was captivating and magnificent. Anyone whoid their eyes on her would be charmed


    by her good looks.


    Theworking event was held in a castle. Violinists in tuxedos performed in the spacious courtyard


    while men and women embraced each other as they engaged in ballroom dancing.


    An exceptionally lively dining area was nearby, providing the guests with barbecue food and some


    desserts.


    Angeline garnered a lot of attention the moment she showed up. A few scions even whistled at her, but


    she didn’t bother to entertain them.


    She stood rooted to her spot while grasping the hem of her dress. At that moment, the photographer


    arranged by Moistdore Cosmetics walked up to her and whispered a reminder beside her ear.


    Only then did she shift her gaze onto a tall, gentlemanly-looking man who was socializing with


    someone else not far away.


    He was the CEO of Joan Group as well as theworking event’s organizer, Zeferino Levert.


    As Angeline’s mother was involved in the fashion design industry, her house was filled with fashion and


    lifestyle-rted books. The book covers would always feature news about Joan Group.


    Hence, Joan Group left a significant impression on Angeline since she was little. Joan Group was an


    internationally-renowned brand, and its new products would be sold out instantaneously upon their


    launch.
