Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 188

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 188
Catherine nodded weakly.

“These are the documents your grandpa handed to me for safekeeping.” Chris sighed as he retrieved the file. “Fortunately, your grandpa had a backup plan against Jeffery although I’m sure he didn’t wish for this day to happen. Ha, Jeffery had nothing to do with Hudson’s success today. He was only allocated 30% of the stocks for raising you yet he’s not grateful.”

“That’s right. He could have gotten his hands on it after Grandma died but he didn’t want to wait. Instead, he murdered her mercilessly.” She clasped her fingers around the file. “With these documents, he can forget about becoming the president of Hudson next month.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you acquire that position.” Chris smiled.

“Thanks, Uncle Chris.” She felt touched. “You’ve been working for my mom for a long time. Have you seen my dad before?” she asked hesitantly.

The man’s face fell before he finally replied after a long time, “I have. But don’t get too upset. He doesn’t know about your presence.”

Suddenly, she felt relieved. “That’s alright. So long as I’m not someone who’s been abandoned by their parents.”

“In fact, his contribution was what made Hudson successful today. But… he already has a family.” Chris looked at her pitifully.

She understood. “It’s only to be expected. After all, it’s been 20 years. No one would wait forever.”

Chris grimaced. “Jeffery has been trying to curry favor with the stockholders and executive-level employees of the company. You have to act cautiously.”

“Yup. I’ll definitely take back what belongs to me.”

That afternoon, she rejected Chris’ invitation to stay longer and took the return flight to Melbourne.

She turned on her phone after alighting the plane but there was still no news from Shaun.

A bitter feeling materialized in her heart. She wondered what had gone wrong between them.

On second thought, she sent him a text. [Where are you?]
