Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 399

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 399
“Dad, Nicola was responsible for my facial disfigurement,” Catherine interrupted. “Not long ago, I was locked away by the Hill family in their dungeon. Nicola worked with Valerie and instructed the staff to poison my porridge for this to happen.”

“What?” Joel was in shock. On second thought, it did sound like something Nicola would do. “I’ll go look for this crazy woman…”

“Dad, many distinguishable guests are here to witness the engagement ceremony between the Yule and the Campos families. It’s not the time to make a scene. Besides, Old Master Hill and the others are here too. I’m sure they’re not going to take your side.” She tried to change his mind.

Joel clenched his hands into fists. He was furious. “But your face…”

“Uncle Joel, some things take time,” Shaun said in a low voice, “I’ll make sure those who hurt Catherine will pay for their actions.”

Joel felt a heavy weight lift from his chest. He had enjoyed fame and success for the major part of his life. However, he realized he owed this daughter of his so much that he could never compensate her. “Cathy, I’ve decided to divorce Nicola after Melanie’s wedding. I’ll not change my mind even if everyone in the Yule family tries to stop me.”

She looked at the man in astonishment. Honestly, she thought he was too soft-hearted toward Nicola and Melanie…

“Don’t look at me like that. I’m telling the truth. I hold 40% of Yule Corporation’s shares. I’ve made up my mind to give you 35% and the remaining 5% to Melanie. I’ll get this down on paper with the lawyer as soon as possible.”

“Dad…”

“That settles it. Just sit back and relax as the shares fall into your lap. I want to make sure you can live without worry for the rest of your life. That way, you can afford to buy yourself a young man even if someone disappoints you in the future.”

He looked provocatively into Shaun’s eyes after saying that.

Catherine almost choked on her saliva.

She did not expect her dad to be so open-minded.

“Dad, I’ll not disappoint her,” Shaun replied with a smile.
