Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 436 âWhat?â Charlie shouted in rage, âIâve invested so much in its production and now youâre saying that Iâm going to suffer a great loss?â
âWhat great loss? Havenât you reaped enough profits before this?â Liam rubbed his temples. âBesides, tell me the truth, did the Campos family leak the photos of Shaunâs past?â
âAre you crazy to have believed Catherine? How could an outsider like me get my hands on those pictures?â
Liam remained silent as the image of a man popped into his mind. On second thought, it seemed impossible that Mason Campos who had always been indifferent to these affairs would do something like this. âAnyway, everyone in the Hill family suspects that I was the one behind this. Shaun will destroy me the second he regains the upper hand.â
âDonât worry. Youâll get your momâs shares in the end somehow.â
Charlie ended this call and made another one right after. âThe plan failed.â
âHmm, I underestimated Shaun and Old Master Hillâs courage. Not to mention that Catherine woman.â
Charlie narrowed his eyes. He had looked into Catherineâs background before. This woman had only recently become the chairwoman of Hudson Corporation. She was only a hillbilly from a small place like Melbourne. However, during yesterdayâs live stream, the woman maintained a calm composure while speaking to the entire nation of Australiaânot to mention her sharp and incisive thinking while challenging the most powerful Hill family.
It was not exaggerating to say that Catherine had led Shaunarah Corporation through this crisis while Shaun was sick.
For some reason, he was reminded of his fiancée, Melanie. They were stepsisters from the same father yet the latter was like an idiot.
âWhatâs next?â
âFortunately, I have a backup plan. Itâs time to deploy her to the battlefield.â
âOkay. I have absolute trust in you.â
Charlie replied humbly. He found the other personâs strategic thinking extremely impressive.
Undoubtedly, the Campos family would become the most powerful family in Australia in no time.
The age of the Hill family⦠was coming to an end.
â¦
The following day.
Old Madam Hill personally delivered the share ownership transfer form to the seaside villa.
Upon entering the house, she noticed there was no one else in the house except Aunty Yasmine who was vacuuming the floor.
âWhereâs Shaun? Is he out?â
âEldest Young Master and Young Madam have gone grocery shopping at the nearby supermarket.â
Aunty Yasmine put the vacuum away to greet the old woman.
âGrocery shopping?â
The words escaped Old Madam Hillâs mouth almost like a scream. She would never believe her grandson had stepped foot into a supermarket if she did not hear it with her own ears.
âHe just had an episode two days ago. He should be resting at home. Why didnât you stop him from going out?â
âDonât worry, Old Madam. Eldest Young Master Hill has cheered up thanks to Young Madamâs companionship.â
Before her voice trailed off, joyous laughter could be heard coming from the outside.
Old Madam Hill looked over to the French windows. A young couple holding hands was walking toward the house. Catherineâs long hair hung loosely over her shoulders. Her good figure could be seen despite the wide-leg jeans and black T-shirt she was wearing. She also had on a pair of white canvas shoes. She looked neat and cheerful. Next to her, Shaun looked handsome and happy in white casual sportswear. He was holding two shopping bags with a charming smile on his face. The couple looked like blissful newlyweds. In particular, he did not look like someone who just had a relapse in mental health.
The old woman was completely stunned at the sight of him.
It had been so long that she could not remember the last time she saw him this happy.
