Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 174

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 174
“There’s no need for that as I’m not interested in knowing. Since they’ve dumped me, it means that I’m not needed. There’s no point in exploring the painful experience.”

Catherine shook her head and said with discontent, “I just feel that life is unfair. Why are people like the Jones family able to turn things around and achieve great success so easily? With that, they get to continue doing evil things.”

In the face of a big enterprise like Hudson, she clearly knew that she was incapable of opposing them.

Wesley hesitated for a moment, then said all of a sudden, “I can help you if you agree—”

“No need,” Catherine interrupted his sentence.

“Cathy, everything I said last night is true. I want to marry you,” Wesley sincerely added, “I treat your enemy as my enemy.”

Catherine shook her head straight away.

She got married for the sake of revenge, and she regretted it. She did not want to repeat the mistake.

Gripping the steering wheel, Wesley said weakly, “If it was Shaun who said this to you instead, would you agree?”

A look of astonishment flashed across Catherine’s eyes. She lifted her head and understood Wesley’s behavior in an instant. Wesley had probably noticed the way she answered Shaun’s call earlier.

“Both of you have known each other since a long time ago, right?” With his quick wit, Wesley soon figured out many things. “I should’ve known this earlier. Shaun is an arrogant person who doesn’t simply agree to dispute a lawsuit for anyone. You have no money nor power, so why would he so readily help you?”

Catherine bit her lip impassively without uttering a word. Since Wesley had guessed it right, she did not see the need to explain further regardless of how he viewed her. After all, her relationship with Shaun had not progressed to the final step. However, when she signed the contract previously, she had braced herself to sell her body.

Her silence was taken as an admission.

Wesley’s heart ached, and he forced a smile. “I have only myself to blame for being incapable of saving you.”

“No. I’m fine at the moment.”
