Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1527 It felt like the conversation could not go on.
However, Catherine had some admiration for that kind of man.
âPresident Costner, if you insist on thinking that I have an ambiguous relationship with Matthew, I think Iâm not the only one whom youâre humiliating. Youâre humiliating your son and looking down on your son too.â
Catherine reacted quickly and retorted, âAlthough this is my first time meeting you, President Costner, I can see that youâre a very wise and calm person. A son who was brought up by a successful person like you must be very clever and restrained. He shouldnât be someone whoâs easily seduced by beauty or be in an ambiguous situation with someone whom he knows is married and with children.â
A hint of amusement flashed across Titusâ deep- set, handsome face.
This woman made him think of the old Sheryl again. She was eloquent and just as sharp.
If he insisted that Catherine had seduced Matthew, he would be indirectly admitting Matthewâs intelligence and character.
âYou have a sharp mouth, but⦠Iâve seen a lot of women like you.â Titus was not surprised.
âThatâs for sure. If you were only in your twenties, you might think Iâm slightly special because I dared to set a trap in front of you. However, at your mature age, I guess the number of women who have used this method to approach you isnât on the lesser side.â
Catherine smiled respectfully and said, âBut I donât care. I didnât come here to make you remember me.
I just think maybe thereâll be benefits to reap if we talk for a while.â
âYouâre talking about Hill Corporation?â Titus sneered sarcastically. âI donât know what Matthew told you, but I donât care about Hill Corporation at all, and I have no intentions of collaborating with Hill Corporation. Moreover, everyone knows that Hill Corporation wonât be able to hold on for long.â
âPeople have been saying Hill Corporation canât hold on for long since the first half of the year.
However, within a few months, Hill Corporation turned the situation around.â
Catherine paused before she continued saying, â Youâre a foreign bank. But according to my investigations, the current development of your bank in Australia isnât very good. Iâve heard Matthewâs tone, and it seems like heâs planning to achieve some results in Australia. But frankly speaking, heâs still not accustomed to Australiaâs market. Hill Corporation is a 1oo-year mega- corporation, and Shaun is decisive and far-sighted. I f Hill Corporation collaborates with the Costner family, the resources that Shaun has now will enable your Australian banks to have a 2o percent increase in annual income every year. That wonât be a problem.â
Titus let out an unconvinced snort upon hearing that. âEnough. If you have sufficient connections and resources, why would you be oppressed by someone else and fail to turn the situation over? I may as well tell you that I indeed can help Shaun. However, since I have such notable connections in Australia that can help him, why should I collaborate with him?â
âPresident Costner, since you said you can help him, your connections are definitely notable.
However, if youâre so capable, Iâm curious why the annual income of this foreign bank of yours didnât increase after its five years of establishment in Australia? Instead, itâs slowly declining.â Catherine looked at him without avoiding his gaze.
She was a woman, but she was fearless. Her eyes were like knives, as if she could slash everything open.
At that moment, Titus started reviewing that woman in a serious light. âIt looks like youâve done your homework. Did Matthew tell you all these things?â
âHe wouldnât possibly tell me. I came to the bank this morning, saying that I want to take out a huge loan. I chatted with the bank manager, and I managed to obtain some useful information.â
Catherine admitted it openly. âAfter all, we can only advance by knowing the other party well. If I came to negotiate with you without knowing a thing, you wouldnât treat me as a madman, but youâd look down on me. Perhaps youâd even take me as a shameless woman, thinking that maybe I wasnât awake and that I simply came to negotiate based on my looks and the slight connection I had with your son.â
Titusâs good-looking brows raised slightly. âThis is interesting.â
â I donâ t need your interest. I just want to let you see the benefits of this.â Catherine said, âI reckon your business must be huge overseas, but itâs not adapted to Australiaâs market. However, Australia is a huge slice of cake. Donât you think itâs a shame to leave this place empty?â
âIt seems like youâre really going all out, Miss Jones.â Titus grinned. âBut as you said, my business is huge overseas, so I donât really care about this place. To be honest, if this werenât the homeland of Matthewâs mother, I wouldnât even have allowed him to come here for development.â
