Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 324

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 324
Catherine pursed her thin lips. She recalled the way Shaun had spoken when she left yesterday. Was it his doing?

General Manager Wolfe said, “We’ve spent 50 billion dollars on this plot of land. If we don’t get our project started as soon as possible, our capital chain will break and our company will be left high and dry. If that’s the case, you and the other directors might run the risk of going to jail.”

“I’ll find a way out,” Catherine hesitated before she replied.

After the meeting ended, she went to the office to call Shaun only to discover that he had blocked her number.

She gave a bitter laugh. Apparently, she had offended him.

She had no choice but to ask Joel for help. After Joel enquired about the matter, he found it strange. “Cathy, who did you offend? Even I failed to help you this time. I’m sure this isn’t the Wicks family’s doing.”

“I have no idea who I’ve offended either. Let me try and recall.”

Catherine ended the call in a daze. She did not intend to ask Joel to invest in the company to solve the working capital issue. After all, the company was not solely Joel’s. Investing over tens of billions of dollars would require Old Master Yule’s approval. Anyway, Old Master Yule would definitely reject the request.

In the afternoon, Chris came to the office. “Cathy, here’s ten billion dollars or so for the working capital. It should be able to support the company for the time being.”

“Uncle Chris…” Catherine was touched. Under such circumstances, every other director was just criticizing things and defending themselves. They were not willing to contribute any money.

“Your mom built this company painstakingly. I don’t wish to see it shut down.” Chris let out a long sigh. “By the way, what did you find out about your mom’s death?”

After some thought, Catherine replied, “I think my mom’s death has nothing to do with the Wicks family. I bumped into Fergus previously and he was not at all bothered about the incident of hurting me. When I mentioned my mom’s death though, he looked puzzled and didn’t seem to be lying.”

“That’s strange. Before your mom passed away, her last call came from Canberra.” Chris felt bewildered. “Was there someone else behind the incident?”

Catherine rubbed her temples. Her mind was in a mess.
