Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 370
“Exactly. There’s no point being ashamed now,” Queenie said as her mouth twitched. “Shaun is in deep trouble this time because of you.”
“He’s usually quite cool-headed, so why did he end up like this?” Spencer said thoughtfully. “Dad and Mom have put so much effort in him.”
Old Master Hill slapped the table. “You can’t stay in Australia anymore. I’m giving you two options now. I’ll give you a flight ticket to leave Melbourne and never return. I’ll have your Australian citizenship revoked. Another option is that you stay here, but I’ll put you through hell.”
Catherine suddenly lifted her head and was dazed for a moment.
Leaving Australia and losing her Australian citizenship?
She did think of running away from Shaun when he tortured her before. However, now that she had found out that Shaun offended all the noble families in Canberra for her sake, she did not think she could leave with a clear conscience.
“I want to know what will happen to Shaun.” After a while, her hands curled up into fists. “Will you guys save him?”
“It depends on him. If he remains stubborn, I’ll just disown this grandson.”
Old Master Hill snorted. “Anyway, his reputation has been tarnished since he broke the hands of nine young masters from the noble families in Canberra. Now everyone from the upper class is boycotting him, and those families are pressuring our family. Considering that he has ruined our family’s hundred years of reputation, he’ll be lucky if he survives.”
Catherine’s eyes swept over all the Hill family members. She noticed that none of them expressed concern for Shaun, including Shaun’s biological mother, Lea.
All of a sudden, Catherine was slightly sympathetic to Shaun. If this was the environment he grew up in, it was no wonder he was extremely cold and distant.
“Shaun is your grandson. Is the Hill family’s reputation or familial relationship more important?”
Unable to tolerate the Hill family anymore, Catherine rose to her feet. “All of you are his biological grandpa, granny, and mom. How can you behave so indifferently? You favored him when he was capable of bringing honor and profits to the family. But now that he’s at his lowest, you despise him and give up on him, rather than lending him a hand. This has finally opened my eyes to what the Hill family is like.”
“How dare you!”
Simmering with rage, Old Master Hill grabbed a cup and flung it over her head.
