Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1138 Shaun was astonished.
He did not expect Mason to have been plotting and scheming since more than 20 years ago. âWhy must he hunt you down? Didnât my mom agree to be with him willingly?â
âBecause I disrupted his plans.â
Brennan said complicatedly, âMore than 30 years ago, Lea, Mason, and I were in the same school.
Your mom was the belle of the school back then. She was the goddess in every guysâ heart while I was only a university student from a family with a middle-class income. I got to know your mom because we both joined the student council.
However, Masonâs familyâs financial situation was slightly better than mine. During a party, Mason spiked your momâs wineâ¦â
Shaunâs brows furrowed. âBut mom always said that it was you who used despicable methods that timeâ¦â
âI never thought of taking advantage of your motherâs status at all, okay?â
Brennan said coldly, âIt was Masonâs scheme, but I accidentally drank that glass of wine, and Mason was held up by someone else at that moment as well. After that, we had you, and the Hill family made me marry into the family.â
Shaun frowned.
He knew about the marriage that happened afterward.
Although Brennanâs family was not financially well- off at that time, he was the scholar of the college entrance examination that year. After enrolling in university, his results were the top of the class, and he won many grand awards. Since his reputation was not bad, the Hill family agreed to their marriage.
âSo you disrupted Masonâs plans?â
âMm.â
Brennan nodded. âMason was supposed to marry into the Hill family. However, it got disrupted because of me. He sincerely loved Lea at that time, so he hated me very much. And although Lea and I got into some fights after we were married, we wouldnât have divorced if it werenât for Masonâs continuous interventions. What I couldnât tolerate the most was that Lea got pregnant with Masonâs child within a short time.â
âWhat happened when you were overseas?â Shaun continued asking.
At the mention of that, a bone -deep hatred flashed across Brennanâs eyes. âI got this scar from that time. Half of my face was nearly destroyed, but what I resented the most was that your granny stopped those people with her life to save me. In the end⦠she died.â
After Brennan spoke, he lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and took a long drag on it.
Shaun clenched his fists in disbelief.
He could not remember Granny Loweâs appearance from his younger days because he was at the Hill family most of the time. His only impression of her was that she was a loving grandmother.
Little did he know that she was killed by Mason.
It turned out that he already had a deep grudge with the Campos family a long time ago.
Brennan continued saying, âAfter that, in order to avoid Masonâs chase on me, I didnât dare to use my passport. I lived like a beggar every day. I slept in an alley and ate other peopleâs rancid rice.
Sometimes, I did illegal work for others, and I was even deprived of my salary. I was a top student, yet I lived a life of pure misery.â
Shaunâs throat gulped painfully.
He always thought Brennan had abandoned him and was living comfortably overseas.
âDid Mason take it that far back then?â
âYes. The most hateful thing was that Mason was too good at disguising himself. Almost the whole of Australia took him as a soft-spoken gentleman, and that Lea and art were the love of his life.â
Brennan laughed sarcastically. âIn other peopleâs eyes, Iâm just a shameless man who would do anything to take advantage of your mom. No matter how I explained it to Lea, she kept thinking that I was trying to provoke and ruin her relationship with Mason. No one believed me.â
âDad, Iâm sorryâ¦â
