Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 361

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 361
A pitiful smile crept up on Catherine’s face. “So that’s what you think of me. Dad, have you ever loved me and tried to understand me? To be frank, I’ve long since known Shaun. He’s the one who forced me to be with him. Recently, he’s been suppressing my company and Wesley. It’s all his doing. Do you think I enjoy living a life without dignity? Do you think I enjoy being pointed at and criticized as a b*stard?!”

As she went on, she eventually choked with tears.

Joel was dazed. “What? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“Would it make any difference if I told you?” Catherine gave him a mocking look. “You couldn’t even protect me in your own house, much less in front of Shaun.”

An awkward expression crept up Joel’s face. All of a sudden, he seemed like he had grown a few years older.

“I’m useless. I brought you to Canberra but left you to be bullied by others. I’m going to look for Shaun now. He has gone too far.”

“You don’t have to look for me. I’m here.”

The door of the private room was violently kicked open, and Shaun’s tall and sturdy figure walked in. He kept a cool expression on his handsome face, as if he was a late guest.

“Why are you here, Shaun?” Catherine rose to her feet in a fit of fury. “You tailed me!”

“I didn’t tail you. I just came with you to meet Dad.”

Shaun dragged the chair beside her and sat down. His shameless look made Joel’s blood boil. “Who’s your dad? You’ve been forcing Catherine to listen to you while you’re in a relationship with Melanie. I’ll certainly not let my daughters marry such an awful man like you.”

“I’ve set my heart on Catherine. You should’ve been clear about this the night before yesterday.”

Shaun placed his big palm on the back of Catherine’s hand and looked at her with deep, gentle eyes. “I want to marry her.”

Those five words gave Catherine a shock.
