Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 878 Wesley gazed at Catherine affectionately. He said tenderly, âCompared to the company, Iâd rather not see you so upset.â
Catherine was startled.
Although she knew that Wesley loved her, she never thought that he would casually sacrifice his companyâs future for her sake.
âWesley, Iâm not worth it⦠â she said in a low voice. She was helpless but sincere.
âWhy arenât you worth it? Youâre the director of a company that has a net worth of loo billion dollars, Joelâs only daughter, and Hazle Groupâs head director. You have so many identities. The number o f men who want to marry you can even form a queue, yet here you are saying that youâre not worth it.â
Wesley smiled. âOn the other hand, I think youâre the one whoâs out of my league.â
âStop joking around. Golden Corporationâs ranking has already entered the top 50 megacorporations of the whole nation. The media always does coverage on you, the young up-and-coming president. Many daughters of wealthy families want to get married to youâ¦â
âBut I donât want to marry someone whom I donât love, â Wesley interrupted her. âTo me, I donât want to make compromises when it comes to marriage.â
Catherine was at a loss for words.
âIâll contact Charlie right nowâ¦â Wesley stood up.
âWait. â Catherine stopped him. She bit her lip. â I want to look for Shaun and talk it out with him again.â
âDo you think thereâs any use talking to him?â Wesley disapproved of the idea. A hint of sadness flashed across his eyes. âCathy, are you afraid that youâll owe me too much? Or do you have uncontrollable feelings for Shaun again after spending time with him during this period?â
âItâs not that.â Catherine could not bear to hurt him. She denied it straight away, saying, âWesley, the situation isnât that dire to the point that we need to use your company to save Logan. You have t o think about it. Thereâll still be confrontations between me and Shaun in the future. If we play all our cards now, how will we compete against Liona afterward?â
âButâ¦â
âI have my own ways. I accept your good intentions. At least I know youâre the one who treats me the best. â Catherine stood up. âItâs late, I have to go.â
âCathy⦠â Wesley hugged her from behind all of a sudden. His voice was filled with agony. âI donât care how things are between you and Shaun right now. Iâll just turn a blind eye to it. If I donât think about it, I wonât feel suffocated. But after everything ends, can you promise⦠to marry me?â
ââ¦Wesley, this is unfair to you.â Catherine felt conflicted. She thought she did not deserve Wesley.
âI understand. In order to let Shaun fall in love with you again, you mustâve⦠slept with him.â Pain flashed across Wesleyâs eyes, but he still had a smile on his face. âIn this time and age, many women arenât virgins anymore when they get married. Everyone has a few ex-boyfriends, and some even had abortions. Iâm not that conservative. What I want is your future, not your past.â
ââ¦Okay.â
After a long silence, Catherine finally nodded her head. âAs long as youâre willing to marry me, Iâ ll get married to you.â
In this lifetime, she owed a lot to this man who had silently been watching over her. She could no longer disappoint him.
After leaving Wesleyâs residence, Catherine dialed Liamâs number. âOne of my men is in Shaunâs hands. I want to go to Liona tomorrow morning, but I must guarantee that I can get out of there smoothly. I want to borrow Suzie.â
Liam caught on immediately. âYou want to threaten Shaun with Suzie?â
âMm, Shaun doesnât know about my relationship with Suzie. I have no other choice.â Catherine smiled bitterly.
âYouâre Suzieâs mother. Youâll surely not hurt her, but Shaun may not think the same,â Liam said worriedly, âYouâll completely ruin your relationship with Shaun this way. Not only that, heâll forbid me from letting you meet Suzie in the future.â
âThatâs why Iâm in a hurry to meet Logan to clear his name. â Catherine narrowed her eyes. âOnly in this way will Shaun stop targeting me.â
âAre you sure you can obtain evidence?â Liam was doubtful.
âI can. No plan is ever completely flawless. â
At 3:00 a.m., she received a call from Austin. âMiss Jones, Iâve arrived in Canberra.â
