Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 406

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 406
Finally, Shaun pulled back from Catherine’s red lips reluctantly.

She could still taste him on her lips. Embarrassed, she lifted her gaze and was surprised to see that the window was halfway open. “I think… I heard a car driving past earlier…”

The woman felt like killing herself right this second. Did anyone see them earlier?

“Hmm.” The man’s eyes sparkled before he flashed a smile. “There’s nothing wrong about a husband and wife kissing.”

She bit her lip. ‘This has nothing to do with being married or not. I’m not that shameless like you,’ she thought to herself.

“About just now… Why did you hold my hand?” He stared at her intensely.

Embarrassment replaced the confusion on her face a few seconds later.

“I don’t know what you mean.” She looked to the side.

“I meant when the Hill family supported Director Irvine to break my arm.” He leaned forward to chuckle in her ears. “Did you feel bad for me?”

“I didn’t. Stop thinking so highly of yourself.” Frustrated, she changed the topic of conversation abruptly. “Will you still collaborate with Director Irvine and the rest?”

“Nope.”

“But they’re all large-scale corporations in our country…”

“High technology develops rapidly at this age and time. A business can’t survive with products made with outdated data,” he explained meaningfully. “I’ve learned something from this incident. I plan to help new companies grow by investing in them as a stockholder. It’s time for those old-fashioned companies that take advantage of the surrounding environment to step down.”

She understood almost immediately. “You want to build a business empire that belongs to you alone. One where you’re standing at the top of the hierarchy.”

“You can put it that way. I don’t want to keep pleasing someone else to do business.” His eyes revealed determination while his voice reflected dominance.

Catherine inhaled sharply.

This man’s ambition was wilder than she thought.

It seemed like he was going to transform the city of Canberra.

However… could she really handle a man like Shaun? Undoubtedly, more women would be throwing themselves into his arms the minute he regained his position at the top.
