The Wrong Woman
Chapter 289

Chapter 289

Mila tucked Zach's hand back under the blanket and asked calmly," Dr. Hoffis, I wonder why you called me here?"

Oliver slowly got to his feet and adjusted his glasses. There was a hint of suspicion in his sharp gaze as he stared at her.

He walked over to the bedside as if something was on his mind. "I think you should come and visit my very ill father. It's a courtesy you

owe as a guest."

"I'm sorry to be rude." Mila lowered her head apologetically.

At first, she feared that seeing Zach seriously ill would make her lose control and expose herself. But her fears faded once she realized that Zach was faking his illness.

Loretta laid down her towel and ran her fingers through Zach's silvery

hair. She choked back tears and mumbled, "Zach, please wake up. What will I do when you're gone?"

Sally rushed to Loretta's side and held her arm in comfort. “Grandma, don't get too upset. You'll still have me with you even if Grandpa is

gone."

Loretta held onto Sally's hand with a hopeful look on her face. "Sally, how will we manage such a big business if your Grandpa leaves?"

Sally could barely contain her excitement. Yet, she immediately pretended to be sad and said, "You're right, we can't do without Grandpa. But Uncle Oliver and I won't let him down if he doesn't make

it."

"Leave Oliver out of this." Loretta gave Oliver an indifferent look. "He is not a Hoffis by blood and has no right of inheritance. Besides, he's

a doctor. He knows nothing about business."

Oliver remained silent. He clenched his fist and held his emotions in check. Darkness glimmered beneath his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Did Grandpa leave a will?" Sally couldn't hide the excitement in her

voice.

Loretta nodded. "Yes, that was done a long time ago. The family

business and all the property are to be your inheritance. Of course, he also left Oliver enough money to last a lifetime.”

Sally was over the moon. She grinned discreetly while Oliver stood there as cold as ice. Mila found it somehow amusing to watch the lively scene.

"Grandma, I want nothing. All I want is for Grandpa to be healthy and get better soon." Sally forced tears down her cheeks and wept.

Loretta sighed as she stroked Sally's hand tenderly. "Sally, you're the best. Your grandpa would be glad to know your thoughts."

Mila couldn't take it any longer. She cleared her throat and said, "Um..."

Everyone had their attention on her.

"Madam Hoffis, I'm sure you and Mr. Hoffis Senior haven't heard yet. Sally's not a Norvanian. She has no right to claim the inheritan Mila said casually. Loretta was shocked. "What do you mean by that?"

Sally was dumbfounded. She looked at Mila and then at Oliver and had the feeling that she had been betrayed.

Mila gave Oliver a thin smile and asked, "Dr. Hoffis, why didn't you tell your parents about this?"

Oliver's face changed drastically. His gaze was piercing and steely as he glared at Mila, the veins in his neck bulging.

Mila's words had completely ruined his plan. As much as he loved her, he wanted to kill her right now.

Loretta stood up angrily and demanded, "What's going on here? Why is Sally no longer a Norvanian? Sally tell me what's going on!"

Loretta took Sally's hand and questioned, "Is she talking nonsense, or did you change your citizenship?"

Sally was at a complete loss. She didn't know what was happening and felt like Oliver was manipulating her.
