Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 1340

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1340

When Sarah was almost done crying, the judge said to Shaun, “The plaintiff can present his statement.”

Shaun stood up and gazed at Sarah. Beneath his short black hair, his perfect, handsome face was full of sadness and regret. “If someone asked me what first love is, I would think it’s a nightmare. I regret why I wanted to get to know you back then. You became my light during my younger days, so I treated you like family. For more than ten years, I gave what I could. Whether it was you or your family, I let all of you take and request anything from me. I only got married after you went missing for a few years.

“Initially, it was just a contractual marriage with my wife. However, I gradually fell in love with her the more we spent time together. After that, you came back, and I felt guilty toward you. In order to thank you, I was always the first to lend a hand whenever you had a problem. But I didn’t know my actions had hurt my wife and drove her and my kids away from me for three years.

“I regret it, especially these days when I’ve found out the truth. I regret it so much that I’ve been drunk every day and desperately want to stab myself to death with a knife. Because I regret it, I chopped off this finger of mine to atone for my sins.”

He raised his finger, which was still wrapped in a bandage. Everyone was horrified.

Shaun continued saying, “In fact, I only just got to learn about the things that Thomas said earlier. I don’t think I owe Sarah anything. I just feel sorry for my ex-wife. I used to treat her as an unscrupulous woman who was greedy and vain, but I misunderstood her. I owe her too much.

“I’m a bloody, living example. If other men experienced the same situation as me, I want to tell you guys this. Exes are exes. If you’re married, then you should end your relationship with them. Don’t hurt your wife.”

“The reason I want to take back the 1oo billion dollars isn’t that I need the money, but because I think she doesn’t deserve it. A greedy woman like her doesn’t deserve to have that huge amount of money. If not, it’ll make some bad people in society and even a group of young people think they can take shortcuts and reap benefits by deceiving other people’s feelings.”

Shaun’s sharp eyes stared at Sarah. “I hope you’ll be able to earn money through your own abilities

and have your feet on the ground.”

After he said his last sentence, Sarah’s face was as pale as snow.
