Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 169

“…”

Shaun’s handsome face froze imperceptibly for a moment.

“By the way, what were you going to say?” Catherine asked when she remembered.

Shaun snorted in a teasing manner. “I wanted to ask why you weren’t choked to death.”

Catherine was at a loss for words, wondering why the man was speaking so cruelly. What piqued her curiosity more was what happened last night. Since the villa belonged to him, he was sure to know. “Last night… Do you know who entered the study and used my laptop? Someone finished my sketches for me.”

His masculine voice that conveyed a hint of sarcasm sounded, “Forget about it. He doesn’t care about the miserable amount.”

Catherine did not mind. “Well, let me treat him to a meal as a token of my appreciation then…”
