Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1073
Stung by Shaun’s mocking comments, Lea was speechless.
She had basically shot herself in the foot.
“By the way, do you know who’s the man who bought the Hill family’s old manor?” Shaun asked out of the blue.
“I’m not sure. He didn’t show his face at all.” Lea asked with a frown, “Why are you asking this?”
“Nothing. ” Shaun shook his head. He then watched Lea hold Suzie’s hand as she brought her upstairs.
The phone on his desk vibrated again, showing a strange number.
He answered the call and Sarah’s voice sounded. “ Shaun, why did you block my number?”
“So are you going to return the money to me?” Shaun asked indifferently.
“No, Shaunic. You’ve misunderstood me. I’ve never thought of hurting you—”
Shaun hung up the call before Sarah could finish her sentence.
She was so furious that she screamed like a madwoman.
Rodney came in and happened to catch sight of this scene. He got a shock as he found this side of Sarah strange.
“Rodney, what brings you here?”
Sarah was shocked as well. She did not expect the security guard to let him in without her knowing. She quickly forced out a few teardrops and acted as if she was breaking down. “I called Shaunic just now and he got on my nerves. He has become so strange and terrifying. Although we’re no longer friends after we broke up, we don’t need to be enemies.”
“Shaun has changed.” Rodney saw why she had lost control and nodded. “I went to look for him and he ignored me too.”
Enduring her helplessness, Sarah asked on impulse, “Have you looked for Chester?”
“… Chester doesn’t want to interfere.” Rodney glanced at her and said, “Chester also thinks that you should return about 8o billion dollars to Shaun. In fact, even 2o billion dollars is a lot. A lot of people can’t make 1oo million dollars even if they don’t eat or drink their whole lives.”
Chester had not made such a remark. However, Rodney was too ashamed to say this to Sarah directly. Therefore, he tried to persuade her using Chester’s name.
