Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 275
Catherine was not interested in Yule Corporation. Even so, she visited the office as she could not bring herself to refuse Joel’s kind offer.
She only returned from the office with Joel at 5:00 p.m.
The lanterns which had been lit up in the Yule household shone brightly. Many costly plants and flowers were also added to the courtyard that had been thoroughly cleaned.
When they entered the manor, Nicola was ordering the servants to clean the surrounding area.
Melanie had changed into a branded chic woolen top that was the most expensive haute couture this season. She wore a skirt which was paired with a pair of tights. There was also a fleece scarf wrapped around her shoulders.
She deliberately had her long hair styled as well. The front of her hair was curled and the back of it was braided. She looked like a princess.
“Hubby, I heard you took Cathy… to the office today, did you?” Nicola approached Joel and asked knowingly.
“Is there anything wrong with taking my own daughter to the office?” Joel’s brows furrowed.
“Of course not.” Suppressing her resentment deep down, Nicola said with a smile, “Catherine, I bought you a lot of branded clothes today. These clothes are probably not available in Melbourne. Go and try on the clothes now. You can’t be dressed poorly when Elder Young Master Hill comes later.”
“Go ahead.” Joel finally stopped feeling disgusted by his wife.
When Catherine went upstairs and opened her closet, she smiled at the sight of the clothes inside.
Sure enough, they were all branded clothes. However, they were all launched several years ago but could not be sold off due to their old-fashioned colors. If she were to meet the eminent figures in Canberra while dressed in any of these clothes, she would definitely be laughed at.
Nevertheless, it did not matter to her as she was confident about her beauty.
20 minutes later, she walked down the stairs.
Nicola and Melanie, who were expecting her to look old-fashioned in her outfit, became dumbfounded at that instant.
Catherine wore the long gray puffer jacket that Nicola bought. The jacket was so large that it looked like a blanket on her. No doubt, any ordinary person who put on the jacket would look ugly.
