Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 454 It was because Catherine could not stop her husband.
She suddenly found it very funny. âItâs fine, then. Considering that I came to your assistance yesterday, could you tell me whether you know who Shelley Langley is?â
ââ¦â
âIt seems like you do know her.â Catherine held her phone tightly. âYesterday, were you referring to me when you mentioned they were tricking and cheating someone? I think you took pity on me.â
âAs long as youâre courageous, you donât need to care about what others think about you,â Charity replied in a low voice.
Catherine smiled bitterly. âFine, Iâm not going to force you. By the way, thereâs one more thing. You have a brother called Thomas Neeson, right? Can you please ask him to stop pestering my friend, Freya? Tell him that I wonât let him off the hook if anything happens to her.â
âThomas Neesonâ¦â Charityâs voice was filled with impatience. âAlright, I will. Let me remind you something as well, Miss Jones. Youâd better ask Shelley to stay away from Shaun as soon as possible.â
Catherineâs heart skipped a beat. âIâve already kicked her out last night.â
âIâm worried that some people wonât take it lying downâ¦â
The minute Charity bit her tongue, a commotion suddenly arose outside the office. Subsequently, Rodney barged in while he dragged Elle behind.
âI have something to deal with, so Iâll hang up now.â
After she hung up the phone, Catherine turned her gaze to Rodney, who looked exasperated.
Suddenly, something clicked in her. Was this what Charity meant by some people would not take it lying down?
Catherine was getting more confused.
âYoung Master Snow, what brings you here to my office?â Catherine lifted her head and asked nonchalantly.
âStop pretending, Catherine. Did you force Shaun to kick Shelley out?â Rodney slammed his hands on the table with rage in his eyes. âHow can you be so petty-minded? I was just starting to see you in a more positive light.â
Catherine stared at him without blinking at all. âIâm not in a relationship with you, so I donât care how you perceive me.â
âIâm Shaunâs friend, and I understand him. Do you think Shaun will be fond of a disgusting person like you who always puts him out?â
Rodney scoffed, âShelley was cautious in front of you, yet you act like youâre all high and mighty. Do you really think you can look down on other people because of your status as Mrs. Hill? Well, with your personality, no man would love you for long.â
His words pierced through Catherineâs heart. âSo, are you standing up for Shelley now? Youâre into her, huh? Or are you hoping that sheâll replace me and become your new sister-in-law?â
Rodney lost his temper. âYouâre out of your mind. I treat Shelly as my sister, and I just canât tolerate the way you bullied her.â
âDid I bully her?â
Catherine felt very helpless. âDid Shelley say this?â
âOf course Shelley didnât say it. Sheâs so kind, but Iâm not a fool.â Rodney warned her fiercely, âCatherine, if you dare to bully her in the future, I wonât let you go even if Shaun defends you.â
When Rodney reached the door, he looked back. âIâve known Shaun for over 20 years. How long have you known him? Think about it.â
Catherine remained seated.
When it was at night, Shaun did not give her a call at all. Since Elle was here, Catherine believed that Shaun was aware of what happened today. She wondered if it was Shaun who approved of Rodney behaving that way.
Catherine did not return to the seaside villa after work.
She ate something and strolled along the streets alone.
It had been a long while since she felt this relaxed.
She entered a KFC outlet and ordered ice cream. All of a sudden, a gentle, familiar voice of a man sounded behind her. âIs the ice cream good? Iâd like to have one too.â
Catherine turned her head back only to see Wesley standing behind her in a gray suit. With his slender figure and his mature and noble aura, all the women around him shifted their gazes to him.
