Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 203 âDonât speak nonsense.â
Jeffery jumped up like his tail had been stepped on. âYour grandmother died of illness.â
âYes, itâs a pity that Grandma was cremated. Otherwise, checking her corpse would be enough for us to discover her cause of death,â Catherine sneered, saying, âBut I wonât let you off. Iâll definitely pay you back little by little all the pain I suffered, including Grandmaâs share.â
Then, she left the meeting room without looking back.
When she went out, her body trembled with excitement.
All along, she had been suppressed and bullied by the Jones family. She even almost lost her life several times. Starting today, she would become stronger to protect herself and the people around her.
â¦
After returning to the chairwomanâs office.
She immediately asked Kacey to go and bring over the relevant information about the companyâs top management.
âChairwoman Jones, you donât need to be in such a hurry. Eat something first. Iâll have the kitchen downstairs cook up a table of dishesâ¦â
âJust have someone bring something simple up.â
After Kacey left, Catherine turned to Elle and said, âThank you. If you werenât here today, Jeffery wouldâve hit me for sure.â
âYouâre welcome. Itâs my duty to protect you.â Elle smiled faintly. âIf youâre thankful, then thank Mr. Hill.â
Catherine also wanted to tell Shaun the good news and called him. âShaunny, what are you doing?â
âEating.â The manâs reply was very concise.
Catherine became unhappy and pouted. âWhy arenât you asking if I succeeded today? You donât care about me at all, hmph.â
âElle already texted me an hour ago.â Shaunâs low voice was mixed with a smile. âChairwoman Jones made a killer appearance at the shareholdersâ meeting today, looking like a woman of steel. It seems like I can only be the man standing behind a chairwoman in the future.â
âMy status isnât ordinary now and many men want to be the one standing behind me. Watch out, youâd better be obedient and listen to me, or else Iâll replace you.â
Catherine harrumphed while smiling.
He had always been the one who had the reins on her and managed her, but now, she finally had a feeling that she was free from her lowly position.
âYes, Iâll be obedient. When I go back tonight, Iâll serve you until youâre satisfied,â Shaun said ambiguously.
The phone by Catherineâs ear made it seem like he was breathing into her ear, and she suddenly blushed while scolding, âYou hoodlum. Iâm ignoring you now.â
âIâm talking about giving you a massage.â Shaun sounded wronged. âWhat are you thinking of? Could it beâ¦â
âJust die.â Catherine hung up the phone.
Her face was as red as a baboonâs bottom. Turning to the side, she saw Elle with a smile on her face and felt even more embarrassed.
After eating, Kacey brought her the list of top executives to look through.
Catherine glanced at it and focused on Rebeccaâs post. General manager of the property development project.
She instantly sneered, realizing the truth behind how she almost died when she went to the construction site last time.
âIs there no one else in my company? Why is a novice without any experience taking up such an important position?â
Catherine said unpleasantly, âWhen are the company executives coming over? I want to have a good chat with them.â
Kacey saw her thoughts and hesitated before saying, âThey went out for lunch with the Jones father and daughter.â
Catherineâs pretty face instantly darkened.
She had just taken over as chairwoman, but not only did the senior executives not pay her a visit, but they even went out for lunch with Jefferey. It was clear that they did not take her seriously at all.
