Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 434 âTop three? Thatâs very unlikely.â Old Master Hill was taken aback.
âYou can check the Campos familyâs financial statement for this year. The Campos family usually keeps a low profile and behaves modestly. After Liam started managing the company, he signed an agreement with the Campos family that provides five benefits to them. As if the Campos family isnât powerful enough.â
The news came as a blow to Old Master Hill.
âOnce the Hill family gets into deep waters, the Campos family is sure to be the first one who canât wait to take charge of the company. If I own Hill Corporation, the Hill familyâs status will never change.
Anyway, itâs up to you. Even if you donât plan to let me take over the company, I can still retain my status in Australia. In that case, the Hill familyâs situation will have nothing to do with meâ¦â
âBut your illnessâ¦â
âIf you donât believe me, itâs fine. Iâm busy, and I have to hang up nowâ¦â
With that, Shaun was about to hang up the call. Just then, Old Master Hill immediately answered, âOkay, Iâm already old. I canât beat the youths. Iâll let you take over Hill Corporation, but I hope that youâll manage it well. Your aunt⦠She has offended you, and Iâm not expecting you to forgive her either. Having said that, donât go too far. After all, weâre family.â
âGrandpa, I always adhere to the principle of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.â
âYouâ¦â
âYouâre not in a position to bargain with me anymore.â
After Shaun ended the call, his eyes revealed endless indifference.
Catherine disliked his stony expression. She fell into his arms and hugged him tightly. Then, she changed the subject. âDid the Campos family really make it into the top three wealthiest families in Australia with their property?â
âWhat do you think?â The indifference in his eyes slowly faded and was replaced with gentleness.
âThatâs quite unbelievable. The Campos family has always kept a low profile. I was under the impression that it would be either the Jewell family or the Snow family that could make it into the top three.â
âYeah. The Campos family has been hiding very well. If it hadnât been for Charlieâs grand wedding this time, I wouldnât have investigated his familyâs background,â Shaun said thoughtfully, âThe Campos family is complicated. Iâm afraid that my stepfather isnât as simple as he seems.
Catherine was dumbfounded. âIâve seen Mason twice. He gives me the impression that heâs gentle and friendly. Rumor has it that heâs been devoting his attention to art and music and is not at all interested in his familyâs property and authority.â
âI used to think so too, but how could the Campos family possibly arrive at this state if he wasnât interested? I reckon heâs trying to divert our attention away.â Shaun was lost in thought.
Catherine was struck by an idea. âSince it was the Campos family who schemed against you with the photos, could this matter be related to Mason?â
âMaybeâ¦â
Deep down, Shaun was slightly distressed. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips right away.
âI shall put all the distress behind me for now. Letâs do something funâ¦â
âUhâ¦â
â¦
The Hill familyâs manor.
Old Master Hill held the phone while sitting on a wooden chair, his eyes expressing a complicated feeling.
âSo how did your conversation with Shaun go?â Old Madam Hill poured a cup of coffee for him.
âActually, thereâs no point arguing about it. Heâs a member of the Hill family, after all. When I watched the video of the interrogation that took place 20 years ago, I felt upset. Anyway, we owe him too much.
Whatâs more, it was our own family who exposed those photosâ¦â
âWho do you think did that?â Old Master Hill asked out of the blue.
âDuring the press conference, Catherine claimed that it was the Campos family, so I guess it wasâ¦
Liam.â Old Madam Hill sighed in despair.
