Chapter 360: Chapter 360

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 360 “Haven’t you seen the news on your phone?” Chester walked over to her. “It’s today’s most sensational news. The whole net is talking about it.”

Catherine was lost in thought for a moment. She knew that Chester would not lie to her, but she did not think that Shaun was dismissed because he wanted to marry her.

“That’s very normal. His conduct was improper. He had a girlfriend but still forcefully snatched his girlfriend’s elder sister as well. He couldn’t even control the lower half of his body and screwed up the charity dinner held by the Hill family. After he’s done such despicable acts, of course, he’ll be removed from his position.”

Chester froze.

A moment later, instead of being angry because his friend was scolded, he laughed happily. “Your evaluation is spot-on. Shaun is indeed despicable and has a horrible character.”

Catherine frowned, puzzled by his laughter. “Is that funny?”

“It’s funny.” Chester curled his thin lips. “But some of what you said isn’t right. That night after Shaun sent Granny Hill to the hospital, the Hill family quarreled. Old Master Hill said that as long as Shaun got married to Melanie Yule, they would lay the matter to rest, but Shaun refused and said that he wanted to marry you, which angered the old master.”

“Marry me?” Catherine showed a look of disbelief.

Chester looked at her meaningfully. “Half of what Hill Corporation is now was built up by Shaun himself.

Playing around with women is nothing new for big shots, so the old master wouldn’t remove him because of that. Shaun’s mistake was that he was being serious, which completely angered the old master.

…

When coming out of the hospital, Catherine seemed to be in a trance.

She had always thought that Shaun kept her to be a lover who would never see the light of day. She was like a puppet whom he did not love.

However, now she heard from his friend that Shaun was dismissed from his post in order to marry her.

The president of Hill Corporation… It was a position that placed a person above 10,000 others.

It was a position people from all over the country looked up to.

Now, he had fallen from the altar.

Would the Hill Corporation that had lost Shaun Hill be the same as before?

Just as she got in the car, Joel suddenly called her. “Cathy, are you free? Let’s meet up.”

“…Okay.” Catherine knew that some things were unavoidable.

40 minutes later, after arriving at the tea house they agreed to meet at, Joel had already finished a pot of tea.

The pair of father and daughter sitting together had never been so awkward before.

In the end, it was still Joel who broke the silence. “Does your face still hurt?”

The few words of concern almost brought Catherine to tears. After all, he was truly her only relative left in the world. “I’m fine.”

“Nicola and Melanie were too angry last night. Never mind them, even I was shocked…”

Joel smiled bitterly. “Cathy, I know that Melanie and the others went to the company in the morning to cause trouble for you. Could you talk to Shaun Hill and let him release them?”

Catherine only felt a cold chill in her heart. “Dad, Melanie brought her uncle and friends to my company to smash our property and tried to beat me up. If the police had not arrived in time, it’s likely that I’d be lying in the hospital now. It’s not like you don’t know Fergus Wicks’ methods.”

“But…” Joel hesitated. “What happened at the dinner party… She was indeed a victim. Anyone would be angry.”

Catherine looked at her father and suddenly felt a chill. “Dad, do you think I stole Shaun Hill as well?”

“Catherine, I don’t want you to ruin your own happiness to get revenge on Nicola and Melanie,” Joel said painfully.
