Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1111 âI went to the restroom. I saw you chatting with Senator Mead just now, so I didnât want to interrupt.â
Catherine gave Wesley a random excuse.
â I seeâ¦â Wesleyâs heart sank. He had just asked a female guest to look for Catherine in the restroom, and he was told that there was no one there.
Evidently, Catherine was lying to him.
He did not seem to see Shaun around just now as well.
Wesley clenched his hands into fists in his pockets while smiling elegantly as usual. âBy the way, I got to know Senator Mead tonight. He asked me to bring you over to meet him.â
In all honesty, Catherine disliked socializing with political dignitaries.
Those people were too complicated, and none of them were simple.
However, she had no choice but to tag along since Wesley had made such a request.
Drinking was inevitable in social functions.
Although Wesley did drink on her behalf, she ended up drinking quite a lot as well.
During the function, Wesley took Catherine to one side to let her rest and poured her a glass of water. â
Iâm sorry you ended up drinking so much. Let me take over from here. You can just stay here and rest.â
âMm.â Catherine nodded. She could drink, but she was averse to drinking with those political dignitaries.
She felt that she was now wealthy and had enough money to spend.
Hence, she disliked the feeling of fawning over someone.
Wesley stroked her hair. When he turned around to leave, Catherine suddenly looked at his back and said, âWesley, you came here tonight mainly to get acquainted with those political bigwigs, didnât you?â
Wesleyâs back stiffened. A moment later, he turned his head around. His handsome face looked apologetic and helpless. âAs someone who works in the medical industry, I need to get some insider news. Whatever I received back then was quite outdated, which was why I was very passive.
Getting to know these people this time is an opportunity for me, but the main reason is also that Iâm concerned about you.â
âMm. I got it. â Catherine smiled at him. âYou can tell me directly next time. I wonât mind, and Iâll understand.â
ââ¦Okay.â
Wesley smiled. When he turned around to walk away, his face turned extremely grim.
Instead of hurrying to get acquainted with the political dignitaries, he turned around to meet Charlie at a secluded spot.
Charlie was in a foul mood. âWesley, you came at the right time. Help me think of a way to deal with Shaun. I must teach him a lesson, or better still, kill him.â
âWhy do you suddenly hate him so much?â Wesley raised his brows.
Charlie used to be very envious of Shaun and dissatisfied with how Shaun kept oppressing him.
However, all he wanted at the end of the day was just to turn things around. He had no deep resentment toward Shaun at all.
As such, it astonished Wesley that Charlie was now suggesting to kill Shaun.
âHe has made me look bad time and time again. The last time I asked someone to ambush him to cause him an accident, he escaped. Yet this time, at this banquet, Freya even butted in and destroyed my familyâs reputation. I cannot swallow this.â
Charlie asked coldly, âDonât you hate him?â
Wesley swirled the wine glass and said with a smile, âConsidering Shaunâs current status, if you want to kill him, the Hill family wonât dare kick up a fuss no matter how discontented they are.â
Charlie sighed. âI canât kill him here. The Snow family and Shaun have a good relationship. If Shaun dies here, the Snow family will suspect us, and even if they donât investigate the matter, theyâll feel uncomfortable with us.â
âWe can still teach Shaun a lesson.â Wesley laughed.
Charlieâs eyes lit up. After a second, he said grimly, âTell me your plans.â
11:00 p.m.
After Catherine bid Freya goodbye, she left with Wesley.
When the car was two to three kilometers away from the hotel, Catherine suddenly received a call from Freya.
âHey, Cathy. Are you alright? â Freyaâs voice was anxious.
