Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1535 â Iâve heard of it too.â Joel sighed. â If you ask me, you shouldnât have made up with Shaun in the first place. You wouldnât be facing such immense pressure now. Cathy, your life is tough.â
âDad, Hill Corporation is actually being targeted because of me. Itâs an enemy that Iâve offended. â
Catherine explained bitterly, âHill Corporation is involved in this because of me.â
Joel was astonished. âHow did you offend people with such complex backgrounds?â
âItâs my cousin, Rebecca. She escaped overseas previously and somehow got acquainted with some people. â Catherine reminded Joel, â I suspect after Hill Corporation meets its downfall, the next will be me. Dad, you must⦠be careful lately.â
âCathy, Iâll think of a way to help you.â Joel became anxious.
âYou canât help me. She has the executive council backing her.â Catherine shook her head. âDonât make a move either. Donât be involved in this because of me. The most important thing is to keep your power. Shaun has said that if he canât hold out anymore, heâll choose to leave Australia with me and live in Country Y.â
Joel nodded. âShaunâs idea is correct. Staying alive is more important than anything. If you want to start a business again there, I can sell some of my shares for your startup capital. With both your capabilities, you should be able to start over again no matter where you go.â
âThank you, Dad. You donât have to worry about us. If you really donât want me to worry, then just stay out of this.â
After Catherine consoled Joel, she drove her car out and left.
Catherine was not in a heavy mood when she returned home. However, she did not mention the matter regarding Sheryl to Shaun, mainly because Shaun was very busy recently and facing a great deal of stress. She did not want him to worry about her.
The next day.
Catherine called Freya to Hudson Corporation. âWhat happened? Why did you call me here all of a sudden?â Freya dragged a chair over and sat opposite Catherine. She bit her lips. â Is it because of Hill Corporation? Iâve been going to Hill Corporation every day recently. My godfather said âItâs alright. I know you and Rodney have done your best. â Catherine interrupted her. Then, she took out a document from the drawer and passed it to Freya.
Freya opened it and had a look. It was a contract for Hudson Corporationâs transfer of ownership. â
Youâreâ¦â
â Iâm handing over Hudson Corporation to you,â Catherine said openly.
Freya was dumbfounded. âWhat⦠do you mean?â
âAs soon as Hill Corporation falls, Rebecca will target Hudson Corporation. That is why I must sell Hudson Corporation before that. If I sell it publicly, Rebecca will surely suppress the price or plan a hostile takeover. Itâll be impossible to sell it at a good price, so Iâm giving it to you.â
Catherine explained patiently, âYouâre the only friend by my side whom I can trust. Itâs also because youâre Nathanâs goddaughter. If the people behind Rebecca still dare to make a move after I gave Hudson Corporation to you, itâd be equivalent to slapping Nathanâs face in public. They wonât dare.â
Freya understood it in a daze. However, she still found it shocking. âSister, do you know Hudson Corporationâs current market value? Itâs hundreds of billions of dollars, yet youâre just giving it to me.
Arenât you afraid Iâll seize your company and not give it back to you?â
â If the company would fall into Rebeccaâs hands, Iâd rather give it to you.â Catherine was pretty open-
minded. âMoreover, I guess Shaun and I will take the children and leave Australia after some time. Iâm really unsure as to when Iâll be back. Itâll have to wait until weâre at least strong enough to go against the top forces in Australia. But who knows how long thatâll take? If I canât come back, just take it as a gift from me.â
