Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 29

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 29
With that, Ethan picked Rebecca up into his arms and walked toward the Lamborghini.

When his car sped into the distance, leaving her behind for the second time, Catherine truly lost all hope in this man.

Starting from this moment, any love she felt for him before was replaced by hatred and despise.

“Oh, you poor thing.” James walked toward her while holding an umbrella, smiling with his eyes narrowed. “The young lady of the Jones family who was once above everyone else has now lost all her power.”

Exhausted, she could not be bothered to deal with the man. She started walking toward her car in silence.

His voice rang behind her. “Uncle Jeffery and Aunt Sally will definitely be informed of today’s incident. It’s obvious that they favor Rebecca over you. Don’t dream of heading back to the Jones family anymore because no one there welcomes your presence.”

Slam! She shut the door and drove away.

His words were not news to her, but it did not matter. Her life was miserable enough. No one really loved or cared for her.

6.00 P.M.

Shaun came home from work.

In the past, even if Catherine was occupied at that moment, the house was always brightly lit and filled with a delicious aroma. He could always catch a glimpse of her silhouette as she moved across the kitchen diligently, preparing dinner.

Today, however, there was only darkness.

He turned on the lights only to find Catherine curled up on the couch. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes appeared sorrowful. She rested her chin above Fudge’s head as she held the cat close in her arms. She looked lifeless and defeated.

She had always appeared energetic and radiant in front of him. It felt slightly strange seeing this unprecedented side of her.

“The bidding didn’t go well?”

He removed his coat and threw it on the couch casually. “Failing once isn’t a big deal. You’re still young—”

“I’m allowed to be deceived like a fool because I’m young?” She shot him an angry look. “People like you who are at the top of society don’t even care about other people’s feelings, right?”

A hint of annoyance flashed across his face. He assumed the upset woman was projecting her rage at him. “With this behavior, failure serves you right.”
