Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 293

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 293
Old Master Yule nodded in satisfaction. “That’s a good way of thinking. Eldest Young Master Hill is looking for a wife from a good family. Our Yule family doesn’t lack money or jewelry, so don’t be like those women outside who don’t know how to carry themselves.”

“That’s right, unlike some people who grin happily and can’t tear their eyes away when they see jewelry.” The aunt gave Catherine a side-glance that was filled with mockery.

The crowd laughed softly, and Joel immediately showed his displeasure. He was about to scold them.

Just then, Catherine smiled and said, “Yes, I’m really happy to receive such expensive jewelry, but it’s not because I like how much it cost. It’s mainly because it was given to me by Grandma.”

She paused, and her beautiful watery eyes suddenly turned red.

“On the way here, I was uneasy. I’m different from Melanie and was raised by my grandparents since childhood. Melanie is lively and likable, but I don’t know how to please others. I was raised by my aunt and uncle, and no one taught me how to get along with my family. I was afraid that Grandma and Grandpa wouldn’t like me, but fortunately… Fortunately, this gift from Grandma let me know that she still has me in her heart.”

She looked at Old Madam Yule when she finished talking, feeling touched.

At first, Old Madam Yule was just happy that her son had an additional daughter, but after hearing Catherine’s words, she suddenly felt her heart ache for this granddaughter. She was also a little ashamed. She had just randomly chosen the jewelry, but her granddaughter was moved to tears.

The old madam became even more apologetic and hurriedly waved at her to come over. “Come sit beside Grandma. You’re a granddaughter of the Yule family, but you must’ve suffered a lot. Your uncle and aunt didn’t treat you well, did they?”

“They were good to me before, but after they got their own daughter back, they became very indifferent toward me. They even shut me in the old mansion and forced me to eat rancid food and drink stale water,” Catherine said with teary eyes.

“I heard that the Jones family is quite well off. You’re lying, aren’t you?” Melanie saw the old madam hold Catherine’s hand and could not stand it anymore.

“That’s right,” the aunt immediately echoed. “Your uncle and aunt brought you up, so how could you say such things?”

“It’s fine if you don’t believe me. You can go check. The hospital has my medical records.” Catherine smiled sadly.
