Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 313
Liam squinted his eyes. Those executives always pretended to obey his orders without actually executing them, yet they were as submissive as dogs in front of Shaun.
Liam’s thin lips twitched devilishly. “Brother.”
Shaun gave him a stony stare. “I was just planning to look for you. You were absent from the meeting this morning.”
“Brother, I didn’t mean to be absent,” Liam answered helplessly, “When I came from Sherman Mountain this morning, I saw an accident. I sent the victim to the hospital.”
“Next time, you need to inform the company even if you’re not coming.” Shaun lifted his long legs and walked into the private room.
“Alright, Brother. By the way, do you need to visit the victim? She’s the young lady from the Yule family. It’s the one who just returned, not Melanie.”
Sure enough, Shaun froze right after Liam finished speaking.
Shaun looked back, and his dark eyes settled on Liam. His gaze seemed to convey a turbulence of emotions. “Catherine?”
“Yup.” Liam’s face expressed pity.
Shaun shoved his right hand into the pocket of his trousers and bit his thin lip. “Is she badly injured?”
“I’m not sure about this. I came to the office after sending her to the hospital.” Shaun frowned. “But I heard that the brakes failed. It was quite risky then. When I went to save her, she was already unconscious.”
Director Shepherd, who was behind Shaun, gasped. “Isn’t it impossible to survive if the brakes fail on the road along Sherman Mountain?”
Shaun kicked open the door of the private room. “Let’s go in.”
After taking a seat in the private room, he gave Hadley a stare. Hadley grasped the significance of his stare within a split second and went to find out about the matter right away.
Shaun sat on the seat of honor, while a bunch of executives beside him kept chatting. Nevertheless, he did not pay attention to what they were saying.
He had managed to behave icily throughout these years.
