Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 219

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 219
8:00 p.m.

The grand anniversary celebration officially began.

Catherine was supposed to be the focus of the event. However, all the guests surrounded Willie, Jeffery, and Rebecca instead.

In the magnates’ eyes, the Hill family was regarded as legendary.

Although Willie was not a direct descendant of the Hill family, his presence in Melbourne was powerful enough to get trouble brewing.

Chris walked toward Catherine. “How did Jeffery manage to worm a connection with Willie?”

“I presume that Rebecca slept with him.” Catherine made a reasonable guess. She could already see Willie’s nasty character through the brief encounter she had with him at the entrance just now.

A look of contempt washed over Chris’ face. “Your grandparents have a reputation of nobility and integrity, yet a shameless descendant like her is a disgrace.”

Catherine’s head hurt. Originally, she was more than likely to succeed, but Willie’s appearance had captured the attention of the company’s directors and top management.

At this moment, Director Irvine and Director Levy approached her. “Catherine, you were supposed to be the first to give a speech on stage tonight. But after discussing with the other directors, we decided to let Young Master Hill do it first, followed by Jeffery—”

“Are you guys senile?” Chris flew into a temper. “Willie doesn’t even work for our company. You need to know that tonight is Hudson’s anniversary celebration. Also, why is Jeffery going on stage before the chairwoman? This is unreasonable.”

Director Irvine replied embarrassedly, “Just look who Young Master Hill is. The fact that he showed up at Hudson’s anniversary celebration indicates that he thinks highly of us. What’s more, he’s willing to go on stage to give a speech, which is our great honor. Our company’s stock price is going to increase tomorrow. As for Jeffery, it was Young Master Hill who requested him to speak. He has a close relationship with him. You can’t blame me for this.”

Catherine’s face turned slightly somber. “What if I disagree?”

“No way,” Director Levy answered in a forthright manner, “All of us came to this decision for the sake of the company. You just have to agree with it.”
