Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 269

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 269
“Cathy…” An anxious look crossed Joel’s face. “You must come with me. I need to keep an eye on you so that I can protect you. Your identity will soon be exposed. A lot of them from the Yule family have found out about my relationship with your mom back then.”

Catherine was stunned.

Chris then explained, “The Yule family has a lot of assets that other youngsters in the family are eyeing. Since you’re President Yule’s daughter, you’ll come into his inheritance in the future. Some people will risk their lives for the sake of power.”

Catherine was annoyed and speechless, but she was not interested in his wealth at all. In fact, the sudden appearance of her father had placed a burden on her.

“Don’t panic, Mr. Yule. I’ll persuade her. Let’s visit Sheryl now.” Chris changed the subject.

Catherine agreed to join them. During the journey, Joel told her a lot of stories about how he met Sheryl.

“20 years ago, I was powerless. I was set up and accidentally slept with my current wife, Nicola Wicks. After your mom found out, she just left. Not long after, I heard that she passed away.”

A bitter look washed over Joel’s face. “Then, I began living my life in a daze. When Nicola got pregnant, I agreed to marry her to take responsibility for the child.”

As Catherine listened to him, she was filled with hatred. What a campy story it was. She pitied her mother for being the victim.

After visiting the cemetery, she left under the pretext of having something to attend to.

As Joel watched her walk away, he let out a long sigh. “Oh, Chris. Looks like my daughter doesn’t want to acknowledge me.”

“Catherine has suffered a lot in the Jones family last year,” Chris explained.

“Yeah. It’s my fault that I came so late. I must bring her back to the Yule family. I want to make it up to her and take good care of her,” Joel said guiltily.
