Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 224

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 224
…

8:30 a.m.

In the meeting room, all the directors were ashen-faced and furious. At the mention of Catherine, they wished they could eat her up.

“Chris is to blame for this matter. If he hadn’t taken Catherine in, Hudson wouldn’t have offended the Hill family.”

“Is she out of her mind? How dare she beat Willie? The Hills are a prominent family, and we clearly can’t afford to provoke them.”

“I heard the person who offended Willie before this was a billionaire from Gold Coast. His family was bankrupt overnight.”

“Yeah. Willie is terrifying.”

“…”

Amid the directors’ discussion, Jeffery let out a long sigh. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have allowed Rebecca to bring Willie along yesterday. But I heard Willie came here for an inspection, and I was hoping that Hudson could work with Hill Corporation.”

“True. If we could collaborate with Hill Corporation, it’d greatly benefit Hudson.”

“We were wrong. We should’ve made Jeffery the chairman.”

“I regret my decision too. I shouldn’t have voted for Catherine back then.”

Feeling helpless, Director Irvine said, “Now that things have turned out this way, we have no choice but to discharge her from her position as chairwoman for the sake of Hudson’s prospects. Perhaps Jeffery is the only one who can help us weather the storm this time. After all, his daughter has a close relationship with Willie.”

Jeffery humbly waved his hand. “I’m not sure if I can settle this. Having said that, Young Master Hill is very fond of Rebecca. He’ll bring her along wherever he goes. What do you think, Rebecca?”

Suppressing the pain from her wounds caused by Willie yesterday, Rebecca forced a sweet smile. “Young Master Hill is quite fond of me. He even told me a lot of stuff about the project.”

Everyone beamed with delight. Director Irvine said, “It’s a deal. Jeffery will be our new chairman.”
