Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 978 Catherine stood up and walked to another side. Her attitude was cold.
Shaun sighed as he watched her from behind. At that moment, his phone rang.
It was Clifton who called. His voice was trembling with excitement as he said, âEldest Young Master Hill, the research and development of Purdue Microchip has succeeded.â
âIs it?â Shaun nodded calmly. âYou did well.â
Clifton was shocked. âEldest Young Master Hill, arenât you excited at all? Youâve invested more than ten billion dollars into this tiny microchip.
Moreover, this is the worldâs top microchip. No other company can surpass this. I reckon Hill Corporationâs market value will triple at the very least.â
âOkay, â Shaun replied calmly, âYou can let out the news that the microchip has been successfully developed and hold a press conference half a month later. Iâll attend it when the time comes.â
âWhen are you coming back?â Clifton said in a hurry, âWhen the news goes out, itâll surely attract the top companies all over the world in other industries to collaborate with us. The company desperately requires your presence. Besides, this is a very important matter. Itâs better for you to be personally involved in everything from the marketing to the collaborations.â
Shaun looked at Catherine who was nearby with complicated feelings. He lowered his voice and said, âI donât have time now. The company spent so much money to hire those senior managers. Itâs time for them to do their jobs.â
âAlright.â
Clifton had no choice. His boss was a man in love, after all. âThe information related to the microchip âIâll have Chance assign some people to protect the laboratory. You should stay at the lab these few days, â Shaun ordered.
After all, this matter could draw the attention of the whole world. There might even be some extreme competitors who would want to hurt Clifton.
âOkay.â
After ending the call with Clifton, Shaun gave Chance a call. He did not deliberately hide from Catherine.
There were only both of them at the seaside. As he gave Chance orders, his voice traveled to Catherineâs ears as well.
She felt more shocked as she continued listening.
She did not think that Hill Corporationâs advanced microchip would be developed so soon. She did not know how much Hill Corporationâs market value would spike after this microchip was launched. No one in Australia, or even in the whole world, could compete against Shaun then.
Her heart was in despair.
Could she not escape nor hide from this man forever?
âCathy, youâre about to become the wife of the wealthiest man in the world. â Shaun hugged her from behind all of a sudden. His hand rested on her lower abdomen. âOur children will be nobler than princes and princesses.â
Catherine glanced at him helplessly. âDo you think I care about all this?â
âCathy, I just want to tell you that leaving me and returning to Wesleyâs side is an impossible matter. What does Wesley have to compete against me?
Crushing him is as easy as crushing an ant to me.â
Shaun forcefully turned her shoulders around. He lowered his head and bit on her soft lower lip.
Catherine had no words.
Sometimes, she thought maybe she should just accept her fate. With her capabilities, she really could not escape this man anyway.
Nevertheless, she still felt resentful.
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. On the big messy bed in the morning.
Shaun woke up first. The woman beside him was still fast asleep. Last nightâs activity had made her exhausted.
He properly tucked her in with the blanket. When he got up, he realized there were bloodstains on his legâ¦
