Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1175 âIn the end, itâs all because Shaun is in a relationship with Miss Mead.â
âBut Catherine has married Wesley, hasnât she? â
âYou wonât understand. A lot of women have a roving eye. Whatâs more, she might be dissatisfied that Shaun managed to play up to the Mead family.â
âShe looks pretty, but I didnât expect her to be so disgusting.â
When those disparaging comments reached Shaunâs ears, his bright eyes revealed a sense of grimness. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he heard Catherine snort.
âAre you sure I pushed you?â Catherine fixed her sharp eyes on that servant. âI came here with you just because you told me that Miss Lynch called me over. When we walked by the pool, you claimed that your shoelaces were loose, so I stopped to wait for you. But you tried to push me and ended up falling into the pool yourself.â
âYouâre bullsh*tting.â The servant, who had come u p with a lie on the spot, panicked upon hearing Catherineâs clear explanation. âI didnât say that Miss Lynch was looking for you. You were the one who asked me to bring you over here.â
Catherine bit her lip. âI can see that youâre rushing to make up a story. You probably havenât thought it through, right? Otherwise, you wouldnât have forgotten that there are surveillance cameras around the pool. We can just check the surveillance footage to find out whether I was the one who pushed you.â
The servantâs mind went blank. In a state of panic, she had no other choice but to look at Hannah for help.
Hannah wished she could kick the servant away. At this point, she could not help but say, âI didnât expect such an issue to happen today, so the surveillance cameras arenât turned on.â
âWhat a coincidence. Itâs always at crucial moments that the surveillance cameras are off or some important footage is missing.â
Catherine sighed faintly. âWell, thereâs nothing I can do. Itâs up to you, Miss Mead. If you want me to say sorry, Iâll do it since this is your home and sheâs your servant. Anyway, you wonât be at ease unless I apologize, right?â
The guests were not dumb. From Catherineâs words, they understood that Hannah was deliberately bullying and framing Catherine just because this was her house. She even intentionally said that the surveillance cameras were off.
Hannahâs face flushed with anger. She knew that if she taught Catherine a lesson today, people would call her a bully.
She clenched her teeth. A moment later, she smiled and said, âI just thought that everyone would feel uncomfortable if the surveillance cameras were on. Apparently, turning them off was unnecessary.
Letâs forget it. It wasnât anyoneâs intention to make this happen.â
âYeah, forget it.â Someone smoothed things over. â It must just be a misunderstanding.â
âI think Miss Jones got a fright. Just give her a slice of cake to calm her down later, Miss Mead.â
âYup. Letâs get ready and cut the cake now,â Hannah said with a grin.
âWait a minute.â
All of a sudden, Shaun said nonchalantly, âI heard you guys discussing something just now. Iâd like to clarify that Iâm not in a relationship with Miss Mead. As everyone knows, Iâm already interested in someone else.â
As soon as he was done speaking, his eyes were fixed on Catherine. The glint in the depths of his eyes said it all.
Hannahâs pretty face turned ghastly. Everyone had seen her holding Shaunâs hand of her own accord previously. She did not expect such a slap in the face from Shaun in public.
It was all Catherineâs doing!
Hannahâs eyes flashed with deep hatred.
Catherine was overwhelmed with unease while a blush crept up her face.
She wished she could kick Shaun into the pool as he kept getting her more enemies.
What did she owe him?
The awkward atmosphere lasted until the cake- cutting session.
Originally, Hannah planned to ask Shaun to cut the cake with her. At this point, she had to change her mind.
