Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 30
“Who?”
“Catherine Jones! She’s drinking alone at the bar. Ah, she’s still as beautiful as ever.”
Janet instantly became agitated. “That b*tch.”
She would never forget the humiliation she suffered from being thrown out of the restaurant last time. That incident made her the laughing stock among the elites of Melbourne.
She was pleased to hear about what happened in the bidding event today.
However, that was not enough. She wanted to destroy her completely. Little did she expect the opportunity to fall upon her so soon.
“Zayn Larson, are you still interested in her?”
“Well, not really, but she has always looked down on me back when we were in school. I’m quite curious to see what it’s like,” Zayn said crudely, “for her to beg for my forgiveness.”
“Sure, I’ll give you the opportunity.”
Janet told him the plan. A surge of passion washed through him like waves. “Are you sure about this—”
“Don’t worry, I’ll back you up. Catherine has no one on her side now. If something like this happens, the Jones family will be even more eager to cut off ties with her.”
“Alright, then I’ll perform well tonight.”
The corners of Zayn’s lips curled into a malicious smile as he watched the silhouette of that beautiful woman.
…
Catherine was pretty drunk at this point. She vaguely remembered seeing a server approaching her with another cocktail.
She could not recall if she had ordered it, but her glass was empty so she drank the cocktail without hesitation.
Not long later, she fell onto the couch with her eyes closed.
…
Inside the clubhouse.
