Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 227
“Fond of you?” Willie’s reaction was as though he heard a joke. “You got into bed with me despite having a boyfriend. Do you think I’d give a damn about you? You’re no different from the whores out there.”
A slap landed on her cheek, but this time, it seemed to have landed on her heart as well.
Rebecca nearly missed her footing.
There were quite a number of people around her, including employees and shareholders of Hudson. The situation had caused an uproar among them, and they looked at her with contempt.
“I didn’t expect her to be this kind of person. Before this, she gave me the impression of being pure and noble.”
“Yeah. A lot of men in the company treated her as a goddess.”
“Luckily, I didn’t introduce her to my son. She’s indeed shameless.”
“…”
Amid the constant humiliation, Rebecca’s face turned pale. She had put so much effort into building an enviable reputation before this, yet it was all destroyed at this point.
As her father, Jeffery shook with embarrassment. “You’ve gone too far, Young Master Hill. Rebecca is truly in love with you. She fell for you at first sight.”
Unexpectedly, Willie burst out laughing as if Jeffery’s remark was a joke. “What does she like about me? To be frank, having been with many women, I realize that she’s the loosest woman. Mr. Jones, I admire the way you treat your daughter as an object for the sake of wealth and power.”
With that, the remark changed the public’s perception of Rebecca and Jeffery once again. Catherine, who was just watching the incident unfold, was also astounded.
Little did she expect that Willie was a pervert. What shocked her most was that Rebecca could actually accept it.
Catherine gave a light cough and then smiled at Rebecca. “Sister, I can’t help but look at you in a different light now. Did you snatch Ethan away back then using the same kind of tactic?”
The question immediately reminded the public of Rebecca’s previous relationship with Ethan.
Everyone looked at Rebecca in utter disgust.
