M tucked Zach’s hand back under the nket and asked calmly,” Dr. Hoffis, I wonder why you called


    me here?”


    Oliver slowly got to his feet and adjusted his sses. 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 shoulde and visit my


    very ill father. It’s a courtesy you


    owe as a guest.”


    “I’m sorry to be rude.” M 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.


    Lorettaid 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 infort. “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 sses.

    “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. M 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 d


    to know your thoughts.”


    M 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 im the inheritan M said casually.


    Loretta was shocked. “What do you mean by that?”


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


    betrayed.


    M 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 red at M, the veins in his


    neck bulging.


    M’s words hadpletely ruined his n. 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 aplete loss. She didn’t know what was happening and felt like Oliver was


    manipting her.
