Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1174 After all, Catherine had always perceived Wesley as an elegant gentleman with a noble reputation.
âCathy, whereâs Freya? Go and have fun with her. Iâm afraid youâll feel bored mingling with people like us.â Smiling, Wesley persuaded her to leave.
âBut Iâm your wife. Itâs not good to walk away just like that.â Pretending as if she was torn, Catherine continued, âWhatâs more, Shaun is here. Iâm worried that youâll overthink.â
âNo. I trust you.â Wesley gazed at her earnestly.
Catherine nearly believed in his words.
She turned around and walked away. However, Instead of scurrying off, she hid in an inconspicuous spot. If she had not done this, she would not have seen Wesley sitting beside Senator Mead and attentively lighting a cigarette for him.
At the sight of his behavior, frustration crept into Catherineâs mind.
She could sense that Wesley had been trying to appear gentle and elegant in front of her before this.
Did it mean that there was another side of him unknown to her when she was not around?
âMiss Jones, youâre here.â A female servant walked to her. âMiss Lynch has been looking for you everywhere. Sheâs asking you to head over as she wants to introduce two people to you.â
âAlright.â
Catherine nodded and walked to the courtyard with the servant.
There was a large pool in the back garden. Some people were playing in the pool, while some were chatting over the barbecue grill.
The servant suddenly stopped by the pool. âMiss Jones, please hold on. My shoelaces are loose.â
When she bent over to tie her shoelaces, she swiftly tried to push Catherine.
A glint flashed across Catherineâs eyes. She smiled faintly and dodged aside. The servant was the one who fell into the pool instead.
Due to the huge splash of water, everyone turned their eyes to the pool.
âHelp! Someone has fallen into the pool, â Catherine screamed while feigning fear.
Someone immediately saved the servant, who was in a sorry state.
Upon hearing Catherineâs scream, Shaun ran out from a dark spot and fixed his eyes on her nervously.
âAre you okay?â
âWhat do you think wouldâve happened to me?â Catherine rolled her eyes and snorted. âBecause of you, I almost became the one who fell into the pool. Luckily, I was clever enough.â
Shaun froze for a moment before he glanced sideways at the servantâs silhouette. His handsome face darkened. Given that he was not a fool, he had more or less guessed what was going on.
âWhatâs the matter?â Hannah hurried over. She had been looking forward to watching Catherine fall into the pool in her gown, yet what she ended up seeing was the servant, whom she gave her order to, being saved out of the pool. It infuriated her so much that she almost vomited blood.
When Hannah noticed how Shaun was protecting Catherine with a concerned look, her hatred for Catherine reached its peak.
Hannah had not been able to find Shaun when she looked everywhere for him just now. With Catherineâs scream, however, he showed up straight away.
She had underestimated Shaunâs love for Catherine.
âMiss⦠â The servant was shocked to see Hannahâs eyes that were full of displeasure. She shuddered and quickly said, âI donât know how I offended Miss Jones. She suddenly pushed me into the pool.â
Upon hearing the remark, everyone shifted their gaze to Catherine.
Hannah asked furiously, âMadam Lyons, why did you do that?â
Her best friend, Camilla, teased, âMadam Lyons, youâve divorced President Hill. Itâs not right to ruin Hannahâs birthday party just because sheâs into him.â After hearing what Camilla said, the guests began whispering to each other.
