Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 846 Inexplicably amused, Catherine said to Shaun, âYou donât have to be like that. Iâm not that petty.â
Shaun glared at her. â I canât stand touching other women except you.â
Catherineâs face flushed, and her heart unexpectedly skipped a beat.
Although the miserable Freya did not see their expressions, she suddenly felt like she had just witnessed them showing public affection.
She felt depressed. Catherine was clearly holding the script of a revenge plot, but as a bystander, why did she feel like they were in an idol drama?
After opening the car door, Freya was thrown mercilessly onto the back seat. However, Catherine was carefully placed onto the passenger seat with her seatbelt fastened.
Along the way, Shaun called Hadley. âBring some people to me and seal up the beauty salon. Call the cops and reporters. I have a scandalous scoop for them. I want Eric Hatch from SE Group to be ruined within one day. Make sure no one involved with the beauty salon today gets away.â
âUnderstood.â
Hadley, who was on a date with a female companion, had no choice but to go over and work overtime at night.
In the car, Shaunâs handsome face was cold from the start. It made him look like a god of wrath.
Freya and Catherine did not dare to speak, and neither did they have the energy to talk.
Once they arrived at the hospital, Freya was mercilessly thrown to the doctor while Shaun held Catherine in his arms, carefully letting the doctor draw blood from her.
When waiting for the blood test results, Shaun finally reprimanded her. âYouâre not allowed to go t o the beauty salon with Freya again. Next time, you can meet up with her to have a meal at most. Then, you have to come back.â
âToday was an accidentâ¦â
âIt was an accident, and itâs all because of your friend. â Shaun said coldly, âShe dragged you into it.â
âShaun Hill, thatâs enough. Freya is my friend.
What do you mean by she dragged me into it? Have I ever blamed your friends before?â
Catherineâs expression sank as she said with dissatisfaction, âBesides, in those three years we were abroad, we relied on each other. To me, sheâs the same as family.
âAlso, donât forget that you threatened her with the Thomas Neeson incident three years ago. She gave u p pursuing the case because of me and carried all the responsibility, which ruined her reputation.
Shaun was speechless.
He suddenly lost his voice.
He was especially afraid of her mentioning the incidents three years ago.
âI was wrong. This is all Rodneyâs fault. If he hadnât stirred things up, Freya wouldnât have been targeted by Eric. â Shaun immediately changed his words.
Catherine looked at him speechlessly. She really admired his nerve.
âDonât look at me like that.â Shaun lowered his head. There was a trace of grievance in his handsome and innocent face. â Iâm still your savior tonight, and Iâm also angry. As a man, itâs normal to be angry at the thought of the woman I like being bullied.â
Catherine did not speak. When she thought of the consequences, a chill ran down her spine.
She reached out and put her arms around the manâs neck.
Shaun lowered his head and kissed her softly.
On the other side of the curtain, Freya quickly turned her face away as her face flushed red. How shameless were they? There were other people around!
Just as she was thinking about it, Rodney called her. âI just saw the news. I heard that Eric caused trouble for you. Are you okay?â
âYou still have the nerve to ask that? I only confirmed the collaboration with you this morning. How did Eric find out about it so quickly?â Freya snapped at him.
Rodney was awkwardly silent for a while before saying in a low voice, âI ran into Eric this afternoon, and I accidentally slipped my tongueâ¦â
The corners of Freyaâs mouth twitched. âWas it accidental? You showed off on purpose because you wanted to strike him down, right?â
