Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1497 âHe seems to have offended someone terrifying.
Even my godfather canât go up against that person, â Freya interrupted her and said with a hint of helplessness.
Catherineâs brain went abuzz with noise.
Shaun and she had gone through so much to be able to get to where they were now. Mason went to jail and they could finally finish Wesley off, but now, they had apparently offended an even more terrifying person.
Who was it?
She was incredibly tired and at a loss.
Whether it was Shaun or herself, it had not been easy for them to reach this point.
âAre you okay?â Freya asked with concern.
âI donât know, Freya. Iâll go to Hill Corporation and take a look, â Catherine said tiredly.
After hanging up the call, she made a detour to Hill Corporation.
Currently, reporters were clamoring outside of Hill Corporation. Hence, Catherine entered from the parking lot. When she reached the top floor, she saw several people in blue uniforms walking around with several boxes.
The company employees stood on two sides until someone from the secretaryâs office noticed her. â
Miss Jonesâ¦â
âWhereâs President Hill?â Catherine asked.
âPresident Hill and a few directors are inside.â The secretary led her in.
In the large office, Shaun, Lea, Spencer, and various directors were present. They all had unpleasant expressions on their faces.
âPresident Hill, I hope that you can find out about the situation from Senator Snow as soon as possible,â one of the directors said, âNo matter what, Hill Corporation is suddenly being investigated with great fanfare for no reason.
Reporters are swarming outside the company. What will others think about Hill Corporation?â
âDamn it, whatâs happening to Hill Corporation this year? It wasnât easy to bring down the Campos family and climb up again, but now weâre being investigated again. Many companies have called to ask about the situation. Weâve signed so many contracts. If all the work is delayed again like last time, weâll really lose everything this time.â Spencer also lost his temper.
âEveryone, go back and rest for now. Iâll personally go over to look for Senator Snow later, â Shaun said in a low voice.
When the directors left one after another, Catherine walked over to Shaunâs side. âWhy didnât you tell me about such an important matter?â
âI didnât want you to overthink.â Shaun cradled her hand gently in his large palm.
Catherine frowned at him. âI found out anyway. Freya called me earlier and said that⦠we might have offended someone terrifying. Iâm afraid it wonât be easy to solve this. We both know that the biggest fear in the business world isnât competitors but investigationsâ¦â
Especially an investigation that happened without reason.
If anything was found, it could make the company lose its reputation and its stock price plummetâ
even causing the company to be delisted.
Especially Hill Corporation, which had just launched new products. It would cause many companies that originally wanted to cooperate to avoid Hill Corporation instead.
âCathy, donât let your imagination run wild. Iâve experienced all sorts of things to get to where I am today.â Shaunâs handsome face smiled. âYou have to believe in me.â
âShaunnyâ¦â
Catherineâs red lips parted. She suddenly froze when a thought flashed in her head.
âWhatâs wrong?â Shaun asked softly.
âI remembered something, â Catherine said, âFreya said that Patrick was released on orders from the executive council, and now Hill Corporation is being investigated. Iâm wondering if these two matters are connected. In this country, the only force that the Snow family is powerless against is the executive council.â
Shaun frowned. After a moment, he said, âI didnât think about the Jackson family, but your words have reminded me. Cathy, go to the company. Iâll go to the Snow residenceâ¦â âIâll go with you.â Catherine immediately stood up. âShaunny, I want to face this with you. If you canât overcome this hurdle, Iâll have to leave your side.â
