Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 244
Originally, Catherine did feel slightly suspicious, but after hearing Wesley’s tone, she felt that she was being too pessimistic. Wesley was a gentleman. He would never spread photos like that.
“He’s angry now. You’ll only make it worse if you call him.” Catherine smiled bitterly. “Didn’t you say that you destroyed the camera back then? Why…”
“I did destroy it. I even checked it at that time.” Wesley’s tone showed how distressed he was. “I think the photos were transferred to Rebecca Jones in real-time. I was negligent. I found out that the photos online were spread to a reporter by Rebecca.”
Catherine smiled wryly. She had underestimated Rebecca. These photos were too provocative.
“I’m sorry.” Wesley apologized again. “I’m fine since I’m a man, but it’ll really affect your reputation. If there’s anything I can do for you, just let me know and I’ll try my best to make it up to you.”
“Thank you. I have a call from the company I need to take. Let’s talk later.”
Catherine quickly hung up on Wesley and picked up the call from her assistant, Kacey.
“Chairwoman Jones, come to the company quickly. Rumors about your scandal are buzzing and the company line is getting held up by reporters. You have to deal with this matter as soon as possible.”
“Okay, I’ll come over right away.”
Catherine could not care anymore and quickly changed her clothes before going downstairs.
When she went out, she realized that Elle was not there and no longer followed her around to protect her.
Her heart grew dark. Shaun was the one who had arranged for Elle to protect her. Now that he wanted to leave her, he sent Elle away as well.
