Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 977 âOh, wonât it be fine as long as I donât say anything about it?â Suzie pretended to be obedient and innocent. âSister Jill, Iâll listen to you from now on a s long as youâre willing to play with me.â
âOkay, I donât have any friends now, so I can play with you.â Jill nodded. She thought Suzie was silly and could be her lackey.
However, Jill did not know that once Suzie finished her dinner and walked out of the Campos familyâs door, she immediately told Liam all the information she obtained from Jill.
âGreat-uncleâs childâ¦â
Liamâs expression changed once he heard that.
The great-uncle that Jill spoke of could only be Maurice or Mason. Maurice had two children, the elder one being Charlie and the younger one being Maddie. Maddie was studying overseas now.
Therefore, Benny was most probably his fatherâs or Mauriceâs illegitimate son.
However, Mauriceâs wife was a fierce woman. If her husband had an illegitimate son outside, she would definitely not tolerate Maurice bringing him back to the Campos family.
Benny was most likely Masonâs illegitimate son.
Liamâs heart felt cold. No wonder Mason did not care much about him. It was because he had another son outside.
Mason had even said he was his only son that day and he was almost won over by his words.
His father seemed to be even scarier when he thought about it.
Lea had sacrificed so much for Mason. She even took out tens of billions of dollars in funds for Campos Corporation three years ago, yet Mason had another woman and an illegitimate son outside.
Lea might go crazy from anger if she knew about it.
Luckily, Suzieâs words made Liam calm down. If he really leaked Hill Corporationâs microchip, the Campos family might become the most powerful family in Australia. However, he would only be Masonâs stepping stone.
The thing was, how was he supposed to tell Lea about it?
âSuzie, donât tell anybody about this for now,â Liam reminded her. He was afraid Lea could not take the shock.
At night, Liam gave Mason a call.
âDad, I canât do what you asked of me this evening. I think we have to use the proper means to win.
Actually, Campos Corporation is already developing well. Why do you have to be so fixated on the rankings?â
âLiam, you make me so disappointed.â Masonâs low tone had a trace of heartlessness.
âDad, as people, we have to know the limits.â Despite feeling sad, Liam tried to dissuade him. â You already have enough. Besides, if it werenât for Hill Corporationâs support, the Campos family wouldnât have gotten this farâ â
âShut your mouth! Itâs impossible to be successful if youâre so soft-hearted. No wonder you wonât be able to win against Shaun in this lifetime. You can only be like this forever.â
Mason hung up straight away.
Liam was filled with bitterness. He had a feeling that Mason would try other methods after failing to use him. He had to keep an eye on the employees of the company.
Far away at an island overseas.
Catherine was counting the days. Before she knew it, half a month had already passed.
Although she did not have to do anything as Shaun was taking good care of her by serving her good food and drinks, she still grew thinner in half a month.
It was mainly because her days were too depressing. Another reason was that she was already married, yet she was together with Shaun every day. She felt guilty for Wesley.
On that day, Shaun brought her out to the sea to fish.
âCathy, look at this codfish I caught. Iâll make deep -fried codfish for you tonight, okay?â Shaun brought a fat and tender fish over. His face was full of smiles as he tried to please her.
âAnything will do. Iâm not interested.â
