Let me go, Mr. Hill By Shallow South Chapter 1774 Catherine froze for an instant. Then, she brought Joel into the house.
Shaun stood there nonchalantly for a while before he turned around and left.
When Catherine glanced out of the villaâs window, Shaunâs figure was already out of sight.
She spaced out momentarily until Joelâs voice sounded in her ears. âTo be frank, Shaun is really brilliant. I didnât expect him to be able to turn things around by getting rid of Wesley and Hannah when things were already so dire. Among the youths, heâs probably the only one whom I truly admire.
âAlthough I admire him, it doesnât mean that I hope the two of you will get back together, Cathy. You went through so much and faced a lot of suffering before this. As your father, I just hope that you can live a peaceful life with the kids. Ever since you got together with Shaun, I noticed that youâve experienced more hardships than joy. I hope that your partner will protect and support you instead of assisting you for a short while and leaving you alone after that.â
âI understand. Dad, you should go and take an early rest.â
Catherine nodded. She grasped the meaning of Joelâs words more than anyone else.
After sending Joel back to his room, Catherine returned to her bedroom.
At this time, the sitter had almost finished bathing the kids.
When Catherine was drying Suzie and Lucasâ hair, Freya suddenly called her. She sounded agitated on the phone. âSh*t! I canât believe that Wesley and Hannah have been arrested. That damned man, Nathan, has been hiding it from us. I was so frightened all this while that I thought my life would be over⦠Now, I feel like an idiot.â
Catherine found it amusing. â I realized that youâre beginning to sound like Rodney now after spending quite some time with him.â
âIs it the right time to discuss this? Most importantly, we survived this ordeal! â Freya was close to tears.
âDuring this period, I was so terrified that I wasnât sleeping well. When I heard the gunshot outside the villa today, I nearly pissed myself.â
âIs your baby okay?â Catherine asked nervously at once.
âThe babyâs okay. When Rodney came back just now, I gave him a piece of my mind, so I feel much better now, â Freya said.
Catherine was at a loss for words. âAccording to what Shaun said, Rodney seemed to only find out about the plan today. Donât blame him.â
âDo you blame Shaun? Rodney said that he knew it long ago.â Freya suddenly asked, âBut he didnât inform you, right?â
Catherine went silent for a moment before she replied, âI donât blame him. After all, it was the prime ministerâs plan. If he had informed me, I wouldâve also told you if I saw your worried face. A big mouth like you mightâve spread the news to the Snows. Those around us might seem reliable, but once they learn more about the plan, it could leak out. If the plan hadnât worked out, we wouldâve suffered terrible consequences.â
â .. Enough. You actually called me a big mouth. â Freya flew into a fury. She gritted her teeth for a while before she said weakly, âHaving said that, if I had learned the truth, I surely wouldâve told you about it. Forget it. What you said makes sense too.â
Catherine laughed. âDonât worry. After this incident, your identity as the prime ministerâs goddaughter will be consolidated. No one will dare to offend you in the future since they wonât be bold enough to act against the Snow family.â
âThatâs true.â Freya chuckled and said, âWell, people of high ranks like us have to put up with so much fear to gain great honor. By the way, we can finally relax now. Letâs go shopping tomorrow.
Also, I need to hand Hudson Corporation over to you.â âMm.â
Catherine nodded. Indeed, it was about time she relaxed.
However, after she lay on the bed, she still felt that everything was surreal.
Was Wesleyâs life really over? What a wonderful feeling it was.
