Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 467 âCatherine, stop. Letâs go home.â Shaun became more flustered the calmer Catherine behaved.
However, she remained rooted to the ground. The corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile.
âBecause of your ex-girlfriend, I canât be friends with Charity. Just marry Shelley if you canât stop thinking about that woman. I can divorce you.â
âAre you done? Youâre the person I love now.â His head was hurting so much. He really did not know what else he could say to convince her.
âYes, you love me, but itâs definitely not as much as you love Sarah.â
Catherine sighed bitterly. âIf Shelley, who resembles Sarah, can replace me today, then what happens when someone else who resembles her more comes along one day? Iâm just someone who can be replaced at any time, and I donât want to continue this kind of relationship anymore. Iâm sorry. Maybe I shouldnât say this because of your condition, but I canât stay by your side. Take care of yourself.â
âNo, Cathy, you are unique and no one can replace you. Donât leave me.â
Shaun hugged her hard, panicking like a child about to lose his beloved possession.
He had experienced loneliness and loving warmth, but she was the only one who stayed by his side.
How could he survive if she left?
âStop it. Iâm not that important to you. After all, your friends can yell at me, and you can lock me up anytime you like. I even need your consent to make friends⦠Forget it.â
Catherine tried peeling her hand from his, but he refused to let go.
âDonât go. I canât live without you. Iâll let Shelley leave, alright? Then we can go back to how we were before.â The man was terrified. He had never thought that this was how it would end with Catherine.
Why should they separate because of a small argument?
âEldest Young Master, please let her go.â
Charity stepped forward to help Catherine out.
âCharity, itâs all because of you, right?â He stared at her with hatred. âYou hate me for oppressing the Neeson Corporation, so youâre taking your revenge this way.â
âEldest Young Master, youâre overthinking things. Catherine is now my friend. As her friends, I can say that you and your friends have been treating her really unfairly.â Charity replied before leading Catherine away.
Freya followed immediately.
The three of them then got into the car and left.
Shaunâs heart shattered as he watched the car disappear into the distance. He desperately wanted to run after it but suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his head, and he fainted.
â¦.
In a midnight restaurant.
Freya ordered another dozen drinks, and all three of them ordered some food.
Although they had talked things out, Catherine could not stop drinking as she tried to forget about Shaunâs pestering. âCharity, can I ask you a question? Why do Shaun and his friends hate you so much? Iâve only known you for a short time, but I can tell that youâre a good person.â
âYeah, itâs hard to come across a straightforward and unpretentious woman these days.â Freya nodded in agreement.
Charity looked rather sad. âMaybe it has something to do with Sarah. When my mother took me back to the Neeson family back then, they regarded my mother as the third party and even made others hate me too. I was dating Chester in high school, but it didnât take long for him to break up with me. The three of them thought that I had bullied Sarah. Apparently, I even took away the company and fatherâs love that belonged to her and her brother. But Iâve always relied on my own efforts and capability to get to where I am today.â
Freyaâs jaw dropped. âSeriously? So it seems Sarah is really a pretentious b*tch. I didnât expect Shaun to like this kind of woman.â
Catherine was also surprised.
She thought the woman Shaun could never forget was innocent and simple.
Somehow, this reminded her of Ethan and Rebecca.
Well, a woman who could make a man so deeply in love could never be that simple.
After a few seconds, Charity said, âIf Sarah was still alive, you definitely wonât be her opponent.â
ââ¦â
Catherine took a sip of beer in silence.
