Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 364
Catherine even noticed that many netizens were spontaneously boycotting the products of the companies that Shaun had invested in.
The man who used to be a billionaire in Australia was now a target of criticism.
Catherine cast a complicated glance at Shaun, who was reading the newspaper across from her. He was dressed in a dark green robe with a belt hung loosely in front of his chest. His pale muscular chest, which was occasionally visible, exuded an aura of mature masculinity.
By the look of things, he was not going to work again today.
In fact, this issue would not have happened if he had agreed to marry Melanie and break up with Catherine.
Catherine still found it hard to believe that Shaun would give up on the most privileged status and reputation all for her.
“Why are you staring at me so seductively early in the morning?” Shaun lifted his head from the newspaper, and his lips curled into a smile.
Catherine widened her eyes. Had she stared at him for a long time? She was not aware of it.
“Please. I was just thinking about something.” Catherine looked away in a twinge of embarrassment.
Shaun closed the newspaper before he rose to his feet and walked to her back. He pressed his hands on the chair. “What were you thinking about?”
“None of your business.” Catherine sipped on the glass of milk in her hands.
“Something related to me?” Shaun bent over and leaned his handsome face toward hers. The suffocating fragrance of his aftershave wafted into her nose.
Catherine nearly loosened her grip on the glass of milk. The man was actually in the mood for teasing her. Was he crazy?
She secretly gritted her teeth and said directly, “Shaun, I have no idea what your intention is. Just let go of me. You can still save everything.”
“What do you mean by everything? Reputation? Status?” Shaun asked with a faint smile.
“Don’t you know it?”
“I do, but you’re the one who doesn’t.” Shaun wiped off the milk on the edge of her mouth with his finger. “Catherine, don’t you understand that everything’s worth sacrificing for you?”
