Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 28

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 28
The gates gradually opened after some time.

Rebecca approached her while shielding herself from the rain under an umbrella. A smug look washed over her face. “Cathy, thanks a lot. Your design earned me the right to this project. You really are talented.”

Catherine lifted her head, her eyes glowing with fire.

The other woman smiled. “Don’t get too upset. The project would’ve belonged to me with or without your design. Ethan had already pulled the strings for me. Perhaps you have no idea that his uncle is a good friend of President Sawyer? Your design was just a prop to the plan.”

Uncle… Shaun?

Catherine felt as if a wild animal was tearing her heart into pieces with its sharp claws. Her breathing became erratic.

She had genuinely felt grateful to him for giving her a chance.

Little did she know that he had already decided the ending beforehand. Why did he lie? He knew how much effort she had poured into this project.

Her eyes glistened, but she could not tell if it was the rain or her own tears.

Rebecca naturally took pride in the woman’s suffering.

“It’s a shame no one in the industry will hire you again after learning about your terrible personality. Poor thing. But don’t worry, I’ll take care of our parents well. Leave it to me to look after Summit and Ethan.

“To be honest, Ethan thinks poorly of you. He’s ashamed after seeing you handing out leaflets on the streets. He told me you’re not a good match for him.”

“Rebecca, did I wrong you or something?”

Devastated, Catherine lost the last ounce of self-control. She pounced at Rebecca, throwing the latter to the ground and seizing her by the throat.

Rebecca did not appear flustered but simply revealed an enigmatic smile.
