Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1600 When Shaun came over, his large palm gently pressed on her shoulder. âI heard everything.â
âShaunny⦠â Catherine buried her little face in his arms, suddenly feeling lost. âMatthew said that he did a DNA test for Rebecca and Sheryl, and Rebecca is Sherylâs daughter. What about me? Whose daughter am I? Am I really Sherylâs daughter?â
She was very sure about this before, but now, she suddenly doubted herself.
âSilly girl. You look so similar to Sheryl. Whoâs daughter could you be if not hers?â Shaun lowered his eyes at the uneasy woman in his arms and said in a low gentle voice, âDid you forget that you did a DNA test with Joel?â
Catherine paused as she remembered it. âButâ¦? â
âYou shouldâve asked Matthew what Rebecca used for the DNA test with Sheryl. Iâm guessing it must be hair.â Shaunâs eyes flashed.
âWhatâs wrong with hair?â There was a confused look on Catherineâs face.
â If itâs hair, itâs easier for her to pass off a fake as genuine,â Shaun said in a complicated tone, â
Actually, Iâve been thinking about something ever since I learned that Titusâ wife is your mom.â
âWhat is it? Hurry up and tell me.â Catherine urged him.
âThe real reason why Wesley pursued you so desperately.â Shaun stared at her and curled his lips doubtfully. âAt first, he might have pursued you because he really liked you and admired you, but what about afterward? You married me and even had children, but he refused to give up on you. Even when he knew that you were with me on his wedding night, he still wanted to continue the marriage. He made it seem as though he was some sort of saint.â
Catherine blinked. â Isnât it because he didnât get me? He wanted to get revenge on me after he obtained me or make me fall in love with him.â
âThatâs what I thought at first too, but itâs possible that thereâs another reason.â
Shaun paused as his gaze turned sharp. âHe may have known long ago that your mother is Titusâ wife.
Her status is extraordinary, so if he marries you and Sheryl and you acknowledge each other in the future, his status would also rise. Think about it. Heâd be the son-in-law of the owner of Soromon Island. What would be his status in the world?â
Catherineâs heart shook fiercely. â If you put it that way, it really seems possible. Heâs too shrewd and good at hiding his true colors, after all.â
Shaun nodded. âWith how sinister he is, he probably thought that after he married you and got Sheryl to acknowledge you, he would be able to gain Titus and Sherylâs trust. Then, heâd borrow their power to slowly become the richest man in the world. When Sheryl and her husband become useless to him after that, he can dispose of you all.â
Catherine became more horrified the more she listened. âI remember that Wesley often cooperated with the assassins in Neah Bay. Logan said that a person here once went to Neah Bay and came back with a bunch of assassins. Could that person⦠be Wesley?â
âIt was definitely him. Back then, Wesley was already working with Mason, and Mason told him to go to Neah Bay to look for the assassins. If he saw Sheryl there, then all the pieces connect. Besides, Sheryl looks very similar to you. Even my dad said that when he saw your mother and then you, he was confused and suspected that you were mother and daughter.â
Shaun said, âMason could have investigated it and found that your mother only went missing after getting caught in a typhoon. If he went to Neah Bay to ask the local residents about Sherylâs past, it wouldâve been easy to find clues.â
