Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1523 The news caused great commotion across Australia.
When the market opened at noon, Hill Corporationâs stock plummeted 20 points.
Catherine could not imagine how tumultuous Hill Corporation was right now.
She tried to call Shaun, but he did not pick it up. Hence, she called Hadley. That was when she learned Shaun had been arrested by the authorities for investigation.
âMiss Jones, Young Master Hill asked you not to come to our office for the time being. Our office is currently flooded with reporters, as well as a group of business partners, who are kicking up a fuss, â
Hadley said helplessly.
âWhat on earth is wrong with the product?â Catherine asked anxiously.
âActually, there is nothing wrong with it. It is merely a pretense used to make Hill Corporationâs stock prices fall so that it would collapse.â Hadley explained gloomily, âYou can ask Young Master Hill for further details.â
Catherine was not in the mood to ponder over it, so she headed back to the Hill familyâs manor early.
Only at 7:00 p.m. did she receive news about Shaunâs return.
She rushed to the main hall and discovered that Old Master Hill, Old Madam Hill, and Lea, who was just discharged from the hospital, had come to the manor. Even Brennan, who originally planned to leave the country, was here.
âHadley told me that you were pulled in for investigation. Are you alright?â Catherine walked up to Shaun and held his hands.
â Iâ m alright. They just kept trying to probe me.â Shaun pulled Catherine over and seated her beside him. His handsome face looked calm. âBut Iâm not the sort who can be easily bullied.â
âDonât deceive me. Theyâre already trying to destroy Hill Corporation with devious means, â Catherine said indignantly.
Not only was Catherine indignant, but Old Master Hill was also simmering with rage. âHow shameless of them. Hill Corporation has been established for over 1oo years. It has been propelling Australiaâs economy and has created numerous job opportunities for the country. If we fell because we couldnât compete with other businesses, Iâd surrender. But clearly, this oppression is unreasonable.â
Lea was disappointed as well. âI heard those shareholders are thinking of pulling out, probably because theyâve received some news. If this is exposed, the companyâs stock will crash. Then, weâll be required to restructure the company, and the Hill family might be kicked out.â
Brennanâs grim eyes settled on Shaun. âThe mastermind behind the incident is quite powerful. I know youâre only planning to act after Nathan is appointed as the prime minister, but thereâs still half a month to go. Iâm sure the other party will go all out to defeat you within this period. Hill Corporation has just acquired Campos Corporation, so funds are limited. You wonât be able to get through this half a monthâ¦â
Lea gazed at Shaun and opened her mouth. In the end, she chose to keep quiet.
Nevertheless, everyone else knew what she wanted to say, so Catherine took the initiative to speak up,â Uncle Brennan, what about getting Garson Corporation to lend us a hand? The mastermind might not know Shaunâs and your identities.â
âNo way.â Shaun shook his head firmly. âAt this point, we donât even know how powerful the mastermind is. Plus, they arenât aware of my connection with Garson Corporation. What if itâs exposed?
Theyâll be able to deal with Garson Corporation. In case you donât know, Hill Corporation and Garson Corporation are the top companies in the world. Since the other party can deal with Hill Corporation, it is only a matter of time before they do the same to Garson.â
Brennan nodded. âThis is also why I havenât acted against them yet. Essentially, I havenât gotten a grasp of the other partyâs background. If we still fail to overcome them after banding together, Garson can be Shaunâs way out in the future.â
Catherineâs head slightly hurt.
At last, Old Master Hill looked at Brennan helplessly and imploringly. âYour decision is right. If Hill Corporation turns out to be dead in the water, please⦠take Shaunâs kids back to Country Y. Brennan.
Weâve owed you too much. Garson Corporation shouldnât be dragged into this mess.â
Brennan did not say a word, signifying his acknowledgment of Old Master Hillâs words.
