let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1624 âItâs because I understand Wesley and Rebecca the most. You donât have to worry too much. I think Matthew is still alive. Theyâre probably keeping Matthew with them as a way of protecting themselves for fear that youâll discover the truth.â
After pausing for a moment, Catherine added, âMr. Costner, sometimes what a person says may not be true. If you want to understand a person, you should spend time with them and feel it. Given that youâve been in the business industry for so many years, canât you be more sensible in seeing a personâs true colors?â
Titus was slightly swayed. âIâll have this matter investigated. Hopefully, what you said is true.â
Catherine sighed in relief. She knew Titus did not treat her words as nonsensical. âI guess Rebecca will try her best to frame Shaun and me regarding this matter in front of you and your wife. Iâm not bothered about how your wife will think about it, but I hope youâll stay rational and wonât be taken advantage of.â
âNone of the Joneses is to be taken lightly,â Titus teased.
â Suit yourself. By the way, Iâd like to remind you that Rebecca had once undergone plastic surgery to impersonate someone else to take care of Shaun. She drugged Shaunâs food and made himâ¦
mentally ill. Consequently, it ruined my relationship with Shaun. I hope youâll take note of this.â
Once she finished speaking, she hung up. Upon hearing her last sentence, Titus froze.
He thought that he knew Sheryl very well. Despite that, Sheryl had become grumpier and more irrational recently.
He was under the impression that the unresolved matters with the Jones family had stressed her out.
However⦠What if that was not the case? Tutus suddenly shuddered.
All of a sudden, Sheryl knocked on the door of his study before she dashed in.
âTitus Costner, who were you talking to on the phone while hiding here? Let me ask you. Howâs the investigation into Matthewâs disappearance? Why has he gone missing out of the blue?â
âIâve had someone investigate this matter.â
Staring at Sheryl who was yelling in front of him, Titus spaced out a little. The Sheryl he knew back then had fought alongside him. Although she was a woman, her capability and calmness could compare to his when it came to dealing with business. â Sheryl, simmer down.â
âMy son, Matthew, is missing. How can I simmer down?â Sheryl said in exasperation, âCatherine and Shaun must be the ones who kidnapped him.
Theyâre our only enemies in Canberra.â
âIâll investigate it,â Titus said softly.
âWhatâs there to investigate about? Clearly, it was Catherineâs doing. She was the last person Matthew contacted. This woman is really wicked.â Sheryl said furiously, âIâll arrange for our men to be sent here.
No matter what, we must kill Catherine and Shaun this time. If they donât return Matthew to us, Iâll make them pay back with interest.â
âMom, donât do that.â At this moment, Rebecca rushed into the room and said, âWe must believe in Uncle Titus.â
Titusâs eyes darkened as he darted a glance at her. Then, he asked, âRebecca, what do you think of this matter?â
Rebecca was stunned as she did not expect Titus to ask for her opinion. She clenched her teeth and said, âI think⦠me acquiring Hill Corporation recently has driven Catherine and Shaun mad. Let me talk to Catherine. Itâs my fault anyway. Matthew wouldnât have gone missing if it werenât for taking revenge on my behalf.â
