Chapter 356: Chapter 356

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 356 Hadley was unreconciled. “To be honest, Hill Corporation developed well in your mother’s hands eight years ago, but after you came to power, you went abroad many times and invited top talents, personally set up a laboratory, and expanded the scientific and technological field. It was you who established the Hill family as the number one family in the country, and you led Hill Corporation into the top ten global enterprises, but now, all of it is going to Liam?

“What did Liam Hill do? When you were busy sleeping at 2:00 a.m. and waking at 4:00 a.m., he was abroad indulging himself. He got a high position as soon as he came back.”

“Do I look like someone who would just give others what I worked hard for?” Shaun suddenly raised his brows.

Hadley paused.

“How did the investigation into last night’s incident go?” Shaun threw the napkin away and changed the subject.

“The wine you drank was switched out with a glass of wine that helps to excite…” Hadley said. “Later, someone told Melanie Yule that Ms. Jones was forcibly brought into the room you were in by Director Irvine.”

“So that’s how it is.” Shaun nodded. Last night, he, Melanie, Catherine, and Director Irvine had all been pawns in Liam’s hand.

He glanced at the bedroom upstairs and turned to Aunty Yasmine. “Go check up on her.”

Soon, Aunty Yasmine came down from upstairs and said worriedly, “Ms. Jones is lying motionless in bed and refuses to eat or drink. I think her state… is really bad.”

She was like a living person without a soul and no intent of survival.

The words were stuck in Aunty Yasmine’s mouth, unable to be voiced out.

“Does she want to go on a hunger strike?” Shaun’s eyes flashed with a trace of annoyance.

He got up and went upstairs.

As Aunty Yasmine said, Catherine’s eyes were shut and her face was pale.

However, Shaun knew that she was awake.

“Do you want to force me by doing this?” Shaun sneered, “Catherine Jones, when did you become so weak?”

Catherine’s eyelashes trembled. Yes, before, she thought that her biological parents were Jeffery Jones and Sally Lennon. They tried to kill her time and again, setting her up so that she would go to prison and even tortured her till she was almost dead. Later, she learned that her grandmother was killed.

She had been in despair, but at that time, besides hatred, she had him by her side to accompany her.

It was he who had given her warmth and hope.

Now, he was like a giant mountain. There was no way she could climb up. She could not see any hope at all.

“Get up.” Shaun lifted the blanket and pulled her up from the bed. “Don’t you want to investigate the cause of your mother’s death?”

“No…” Catherine answered in a low voice. If he was around, she could never take revenge.

Shaun was stunned and said angrily, “If you don’t get your act together, I’ll ruin Hudson and Wesley Lyons. From today onward, I’ll spare no effort to suppress Joel Yule and even Freya Lynch. As long as these are people related to you, I won’t let any of them off.”

“Shaun Hill, why don’t you just kill me?” Catherine was at the end of her wits and opened her eyes. She picked up the pillow and threw it at him.

Seeing her like this, Shaun breathed a sigh of relief. He hugged her hard. “Catherine, I won’t kill you. I want you to stay by my side forever. I’ll marry you and treat you well. Don’t leave me.”

His affectionate eyes made Catherine sink into a daze for a moment, but she soon sneered. “Do you think I’ll believe you? Look at my face. Is this what you mean by treating me well?”

“Yesterday… was an accident,” Shaun explained miserably.

“Do you think I’ll believe you?” Catherine’s eyes were full of irony and disgust.

“It’s true. Yesterday, my wine was drugged by a stimulant. I thought I had drunk too much…” Shaun’s lips curled with a hint of self-mockery.

Catherine was stunned. When she thought carefully about the way he acted last night, it really did seem to be a little unusual.

However, in the end, it was because others were trying to plot against him. She was just the victim that was exploited.

“Be good. Go wash up and eat some food. I’ll squeeze the toothpaste out for you.” When Shaun saw that she did not speak, he stroked her head dotingly and took the initiative to go to the bathroom to squeeze some toothpaste for her as well as pour a glass of warm water for her to rinse her mouth.
