Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 1521

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1521

“ I know. Hill Corporation is under investigation.” Matthew sipped his coffee before he went quiet again.

Catherine fixed her eyes on him. He was a few years her junior, and she had always thought of him as a brat. However, it now hit her that everyone was clever and not simple.

“Matthew, actually…” Catherine held the coffee cup tightly. As much as she found it embarrassing, she still asked, “I know your background may be unique. But I was wondering if you had any connections that could… come to Hill Corporation’s assistance? As you can see, Hill Corporation has a promising future, and Shaun is highly capable. His company will surely be able to make it into the top 30 enterprises in the world within two years. We can work together and benefit immensely from it.”

As soon as she started speaking, her face went red with shame.

Matthew raised his brows in astonishment. “ Indeed, my family’s background is quite outstanding. But it’s the Australian authorities who are investigating his company. We’ve only set up our companies in other countries, so we’re not familiar with Australia…”

Catherine got the message.

He was turning her down tactfully.

Even so, she knew that he was right. Considering that he had just come to Australia, how could he help? Moreover, why should he help her?

This time, she was at her wits’ end because even the most powerful person in Australia would not be able to deal with the oppressor.

“You’re right. Sorry for being abrupt.” Catherine forced a smile.

Matthew’s eyes lingered on her. He could tell that she had been quite stressed lately. There was a layer of powder covering the dark circles under her eyes, so it seemed that she had not been resting well at night. Slightly swayed, he could not help but say, “ Actually, you and Shaun are already divorced. Why bother yourself with Hill Corporation that’s going to collapse? At this point, it’s better for you to keep your distance from him. Who knows who Shaun has offended? You could be the next person the other party is planning to deal with.”

“I was the one who offended that person, and Shaun shouldn’t have been dragged into the mess. How nice it would’ve been if he hadn’t met me.” A tinge of agony crossed Catherine’s face.

Struck by a thought, Matthew deliberately asked, “ What on earth happened?”
