Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 360

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 360
“Haven’t you seen the news on your phone?” Chester walked over to her. “It’s today’s most sensational news. The whole net is talking about it.”

Catherine was lost in thought for a moment. She knew that Chester would not lie to her, but she did not think that Shaun was dismissed because he wanted to marry her.

“That’s very normal. His conduct was improper. He had a girlfriend but still forcefully snatched his girlfriend’s elder sister as well. He couldn’t even control the lower half of his body and screwed up the charity dinner held by the Hill family. After he’s done such despicable acts, of course, he’ll be removed from his position.”

Chester froze.

A moment later, instead of being angry because his friend was scolded, he laughed happily. “Your evaluation is spot-on. Shaun is indeed despicable and has a horrible character.”

Catherine frowned, puzzled by his laughter. “Is that funny?”

“It’s funny.” Chester curled his thin lips. “But some of what you said isn’t right. That night after Shaun sent Granny Hill to the hospital, the Hill family quarreled. Old Master Hill said that as long as Shaun got married to Melanie Yule, they would lay the matter to rest, but Shaun refused and said that he wanted to marry you, which angered the old master.”

“Marry me?” Catherine showed a look of disbelief.

Chester looked at her meaningfully. “Half of what Hill Corporation is now was built up by Shaun himself. Playing around with women is nothing new for big shots, so the old master wouldn’t remove him because of that. Shaun’s mistake was that he was being serious, which completely angered the old master.

…

When coming out of the hospital, Catherine seemed to be in a trance.

She had always thought that Shaun kept her to be a lover who would never see the light of day. She was like a puppet whom he did not love.

However, now she heard from his friend that Shaun was dismissed from his post in order to marry her.

The president of Hill Corporation… It was a position that placed a person above 10,000 others.
