Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 137

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 137
“Keep quiet if you don’t have any proof.” Sally glared at Catherine. “What else do you bring to the family apart from troubles? You deserve the mess you’re in today. Take some time to reflect on yourself in prison!”

A shudder passed through Catherine. People always said that even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs, but she felt that Sally and Jeffrey were more savage than a tiger.

“The two of you will be punished!” she shouted angrily, “It’s one thing that you treat me coldly and with contempt in the past but you shouldn’t have set me up. I promise I’ll take my time to destroy Summit!”

Rebecca laughed sarcastically. “Do you think you have much time left? The Clarks’ attorney said that you’ll be given a sentence of at least 20 years. My dear sister, take care in prison. I’ll visit when I have the time.”

“All of you seem so certain that I’ll lose.” Catherine scoffed upon seeing these faces that could not wait to throw her into prison.

James replied arrogantly, “It’s good to have hope, but maybe there’s something you don’t understand. The Clarks have hired Harry Stewart, the best attorney in the whole of Melbourne, whereas you…”

He threw a quick glance at Hadley before giving a mocking sneer. “Ha, who is this? Did you find a recent graduate from law school?”

He walked over to poke Hadley’s chest. “Hey, mate, do you know who you’re fighting against? The Clarks! Don’t step through that door and ruin your future. My advice to you is to leave as soon as you can.”

Hadley raised an eyebrow in surprise. Indeed, he had a bit of a babyface, thus others could mistake him as a recent graduate. Interesting.

Rebecca suggested kindly, “No one dares to take on Cathy’s case. You probably don’t know much as you’re still new to the working society. But we’re saying this for your own good.”

“For who?”

A voice reeked of indifference rang in the air.

Catherine knew who the voice belonged to without having to look over her shoulder. The corners of her lips twitched into a curve. All of a sudden, she was quite eager to see the look on their faces when they were confronted in the court later.

Rebecca, Jeffery, and the others shifted their gaze to the source of the voice.
