Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1567 Shaun caressed Catherineâs head.
He also fought back his unpleasant feelings.
He knew that the most upset person should not be him but Catherine.
Nobody would want to be married to Wesley, that b* stard.
âLetâs go. Iâll take you to greet Elder Snow.â Shaun pulled her into his arms and left.
Freya darted a glance at Rodney, who was beside her, and suddenly gave him a thumbs up. âYou did a pretty good job just now.â
âAhem. â Rodney was on cloud nine. âOf course. I have quite a lot of strengths.â
âYeah. Hardly any manâs mouth can compare to yours. When you used to criticize Catherine and me, I really wished I could throw you into the toilet bowl. But when I saw you lashing out at the person I hate, I was quite pleased, to say the least. â Now that Freya looked at Rodney, he was much less of an eyesore.
Rodney was at a loss for words. Was she praising him or condemning him?
After Catherine accompanied Shaun to entertain the guests, the hotel staff took the two of them to the highest floor of the hotel.
Tonightâs banquet was held on two floors.
The guests on the first floor could dance and chat. However, not anyone could step onto the second floor.
Of course, everyone knew full well that Nathan, the prime minister, was on the second floor.
When Catherine and Shaun arrived at the door to the lounge, a secretary shot Catherine a troubled look. âThe prime minister has something to discuss with Young Master Hillâ¦â
âIâll wait outside then.â
Catherine instantly understood that there were some confidential and important matters between Nathan and Shaun. It was only normal that Nathan did not want her to learn about it.
âDonât go down. Wait for me here. â Worried that she would bump into Wesley, Shaun reminded her before he entered the lounge.
With that, Catherine wandered along the corridor, enjoying the night view of the city.
This hotel had over 1oo floors. When she gazed out of the French window, she could see the illuminations of the whole city, whose beauty was otherworldly. However, Catherine did not move closer to the window due to her fear of heights.
After wandering around for a while, there was a spacious balcony in front of her. A sturdy figure dressed in white was seated on the couch, looking down at the chess pieces on the table and contemplating the game.
It was himâ¦
Catherine was taken aback. She did not expect Titusâs presence here.
However, as Matthew had hinted to her before, she knew the Costner familyâs background was unusual.
After hesitating for two seconds, she turned around to walk away.
Titusâs throaty voice then sounded behind her. â Seeing me and leaving without a greeting? Donâ t you have basic manners, Miss Jones?â
Catherine rubbed her forehead. She turned around and replied, âIâm afraid youâll suspect that Iâm approaching you with a purpose, Mr. Costner.â
âAs far as I know, youâve just helped Hill Corporation overcome an obstacle with your skillful performance. Iâm aware of your intention. At this point, you wonât be bothered to ask me for anything. â
Titus picked up the wine glass beside him and took a sip of red wine.
Catherine smiled openly. âMr. Costner, since you canât see the value in Hill Corporation, I donât think I can get you to help it in any way. Thatâs why I donât wish to approach you, only for you to find me annoying. Of course, itâll be good if I can solve it myself. After all, no one likes to beg people.â
âDo you think Hill Corporation has weathered the storm?â Titus asked tauntingly.
