Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1023 Freya grasped Catherineâs message within a second. âPrecisely. Are you guys insistent on blocking me? Fine. Iâll call Uncle Jason. Let me remind you that Iâll soon be the Snow familyâs daughter-in -law.â
Charlie instantly felt bad.
The elected prime minister next year would most probably come from the Snow family. If they offended Jason, with whom they were currently trying to curry favor, they would be in deep water.
Charlie almost forgot that Catherineâs best friend had such an influential background.
âIt was merely a misunderstanding.â Charlieâs expression immediately switched to a friendly smile. âI was just curious who called out 50 billion dollars.â
Freya bit her lip. âWe werenât planning on buying it. We just felt that those wealthy families who kept adding 100 dollars were a disgrace to the other wealthy families in Australia.â
Charlieâs expression was extremely cold and unpleasant. However, he had to suppress his rage.
Meanwhile, Wesley dropped his gaze, and his expression was bizarre.
âLetâs go.â Catherine held Freyaâs hand. When she walked past Wesley, she could not help but pause for a moment. âAre you leaving? Or are you going to stay here and catch up with President Campos?â
âIâm leaving with you.â Wesley cast a gentle look at Catherine.
After the four of them left, Charlie stomped his feet in a huff and kicked the garbage bin beside him.
Melanie said with disdain, âI never thought Catherineâs friend would get into the Snow family. Anyhow, whatâs so great about it? Itâs only an engagement. Who knows if sheâll be dumped someday? After all, we all know that Rodney is only in love with Sarah.â
Charlieâs brows moved. âHowâs your relationship with Sarah?â
ââ¦So-so.â Melanie said embarrassedly, âBut Joanne is quite close to her.â
In fact, Melanie disliked Sarah. Since young, she had always been jealous of Sarah for being able to capture Shaunâs heart.
âOur enemyâs enemy is our friend. We can take advantage of Sarah.â Charlie raised his brows. âIf we develop a good relationship with Sarah, I donât mind giving her full support in marrying into the Snow family.â
âThatâs true. After all, weâre not on good terms with Freya. If she marries into the Snow family, sheâll tear us apart, and itâll ruin the Campos familyâs progress.â Melanie nodded in agreement.
In this day and age, one had to get along well with the prime ministerâs family no matter how rich he or she was.
Meanwhile, when Mason arrived at the private room of the buyer who bid 15o billion dollars, the room was already empty.
All that was left behind was a warm, steamy cup of coffee on the table.
âExcuse me, Mr. Campos. That buyer has left, but his secretary is currently handling the handover process with the auction staff over there,â said the server who was doing the cleaning.
Mason shot his assistant a look, and his assistant swiftly left.
With her arm hooked through Masonâs, Joanne said, âMason, who the hell had the nerve to make you look bad? You must punish him severely.â
âMaybe⦠A foreigner.â
Mason pulled a long face. No matter who it was, opposing him in public despite his warning was a real slap in the face.
150 billion dollars. Damn it.
That person was obviously trying to help the Hill family make more money.
In truth, the market price of the Hill familyâs manor was only 1oo billion dollars at most.
Who on earth was trying to help the Hill family?
When he turned around, Lea happened to run into this private room, panting. The moment she caught sight of Mason, a hint of hatred flashed across her eyes.
Mason shuddered. He could not believe that Lea dared to âhateâ him with his current status.
