Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 890 âThat wonât happen. Iâll take over the case myself, â Shaun said in a low voice.
âThatâs great. Thereâs no lawsuit that Shaunic canât win.â Sarah raised her head and smiled at him.
At night, in the Hill familyâs manor.
Shaun came back, though it was rare of him. Old Madam Hill did not feel comfortable after looking at him. âHas the sun risen from the west today? You actually have the time to come back? Whatâs that in your hand?â
âThe newest Barbie doll. â Shaun brought it over to Suzie who was having snacks. âIâm giving this to you, okay?â
He was not someone who would care about a childâs feelings, but Suzieâs words yesterday had hurt his heart. He could not sleep for the whole night.
He did not understand why he was so concerned about Liamâs daughter. It was really strange.
âNo.â Suzie evaded him. She ran over to Old Madam Hillâs side and lowered her head.
Old Madam Hill glared at Shaun and snapped, âYou transferred her dad to work at the lower ranks and made him a laughing stock, yet you still dare to come and please Suzie?â
âLiam told her that?â Shaunâs expression darkened.
âAbsolutely not.â Suzie raised her head. She looked at him in fear, but she said loudly, âIt was Granduncle and Grand aunty who were discussing this matter. What did my dad do wrong that you have to treat him like that?â
Shaun was at a loss for words. He could not tell her the truth. A childâs world was too pure.
âI know, it must be like what Aunty Sarah said. Uncle Shaun and my dad have different fathers, so Uncle Shaun doesnât like my dad,â Suzie said aggrievedly with reddened eyes.
âSarah said that to you?â Old Madam Hillâs expression changed instantly. âWhat kind of woman is she?
How could she say that in front of a kid? Sheâs too much.â
âGrannyâ¦â Shaun looked awkward.
Old Madam Hill said sternly, âI heard youâve been staying by Sarahâs side every day in the hospital recently. Did you not have a woman in your past life? She has already cheated on you. Everyone in Canberra is talking about it. Why are you so silly?â
Shaun put on a long face. He did not say a word.
Old Master Hill walked in with the support of his cane. âStop talking. This grandson of yours canât live without women anyway. Let him do whatever he wants. Heâs the head of the Hill family now. Itâs useless for anyone to say anything.â
âWhat else can I do? If you want to marry Sarah, both of you should just do it secretly overseas.
Donât invite us. We wonât attend the wedding. Itâs embarrassing,â Old Madam Hill said angrily.
âForget it, Iâm returning to my room.â
Shaun put the Barbie doll on the table before turning around to leave.
Just as he was about to walk up the stairs, he heard Suzieâs voice from behind. âUncle Shaun, wait.â
âSuzie, I thought you didnât like me anymore?â Shaun turned back. A hint of bitterness flashed across his eyes.
Suzie bit her lip, and her clear eyes were reddish. âI just want to tell you this. That day, Aunty Cathy didnât kidnap me. Before I went over, Aunty Cathy had already explained everything to me. She said she wanted to save a friend as that friend was captured by you. She had no choice but to let you think that I was kidnapped. Only then would you let that uncle go.â
âYou knew it from the start.â Shaun was shocked. He thought the innocent Suzie had been kept in the dark.
Suzie said seriously, âMm, Dad said Uncle Logan is a good person too. He helped Aunty Cathy a lot in the past, so I wanted to help him. Iâm sorry I lied to you.
âI just want to tell you that Aunty Cathy never hurt me. She never lied to me either. I like her a lot, and Iâll continue liking her in the future. Although Iâm young, I still can differentiate who are the good people.â
Shaun was stupefied. âWhat can a little kid like you differentiate?â
