Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 232
Several women who were married to wealthy businessmen soon surrounded Catherine and buttered her up.
“Chairwoman Jones, where did you buy this gown? It’s beautiful!”
“The necklace you’re wearing is from Tiffany and it’s the newest design, right?”
“…”
“Good evening, everyone.”
All of a sudden, Janet held a glass of red wine and walked over to Catherine with ill intentions. “Ah, Chairwoman Jones, I didn’t expect that you’d have the leisure to participate in the auction. Hang on, I’m not sure if I should still call you Chairwoman Jones now.”
“What do you mean, Miss Campbell?” one of the women, Madam Clark, asked in a huff.
Janet sighed. “Perhaps all of you aren’t aware of what happened. I heard that Chairwoman Jones beat up Willie, who came from Canberra, during Hudson’s anniversary celebration last night.”
“What? Are you referring to that Willie from the Hill family?”
“Yeah, it’s him.” Janet nodded. “My friend told me that Chairwoman Jones caused Young Master Hill’s face to become swollen, and Young Master Hill got mad. That was very impulsive of you, Chairwoman Jones. How could people like us possibly provoke the Hill family? Hopefully, you’re still safe and sound the next time I see you.”
All the women gasped and retreated one by one.
“Hey, my husband is calling me.”
“It’s been a while since we last met, Madam Wolfe.”
Shortly afterward, the bunch of women gave excuses and left the spot promptly.
The incident was no joke. Now that Catherine had offended the Hill family, she was doomed to death. It would be pointless to fawn over her.
Without bothering to clarify the matter, Catherine stared at Janet as if she was mentally disabled. Given that she was on friendly terms with Rebecca, why had Rebecca not told her the truth?
“You must be panicking, right? You probably didn’t expect that you’ll lose the position of chairwoman when you’ve just begun to enjoy it.” Janet smiled complacently and then turned to look at the handsome Shaun. “Mr. Hill, I advise you to stay away from her so that you won’t be dragged into this mess.”
Shaun raised his eyebrows indifferently
