Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 138
Catherine also threw a nervous glance at Shaun, only to see that he remained nonchalant as if he had not just been insulted.
“A piece of trash doesn’t deserve to speak to me.”
He retrieved his cold glance and turned toward Catherine. “Come in with me.”
Then, he walked toward the courtroom. She quickly trailed behind him.
Hadley flashed a smile at James. “Speak your mind when you still have the chance.”
His smile was reserved and polite, yet it sent a shudder down James’ spine. “Aunty, will I be alright?”
Sally looked at him tenderly. “Don’t worry, your Uncle Jeffery has cleaned up all the evidence left behind. You’re only here today as a witness.”
“Behave yourself next time if you’re a coward.” Jeffrey gave a snort of contempt. In actuality, he did not like James too much but Sally had taken a liking to this nephew. Besides, James knew how to please them with gifts every now and then.
“Don’t worry, this young lad is just using his powerful connections to intimidate people. I’ve not heard of him in Melbourne.”
Rebecca frowned. “I’ve seen him before. He’s a good friend of Chase Harrison. It was him who ordered to have me, Janet, and Cindy thrown out of the restaurant last time. James, you should probably watch your mouth.”
“What? He’s a friend of Chase Harrison?!” James was completely taken aback but soon regained his composure. “It’s alright, Miles Clark will surely punish him for taking on Catherine’s case. So what if he has Chase to back him up? The man himself is not a member of the Harrison family.”
Rebecca was persuaded. However, that man exuded an overly domineering aura as if he was at the top of the food chain. She had never seen anyone like him in Melbourne.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, the elevator doors opened again. This time, Wesley and Ethan walked out of it at the same time.
