Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 42

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 42
“Serves you right,” Sally spoke in an abrasive manner, “No wonder Ethan dumped you.”

Catherine was completely at a loss for words. Even the slightest hint of anticipation in her was crushed.

How foolish she was. She should not have come back.

The truth did not matter to Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones at all. More importantly, Rebecca was irreplaceable.

Dejected, Catherine extended her hand to Sally. “Give me back my phone. I’ll leave. A shameful person like me doesn’t deserve to come back. I don’t deserve to be related to all of you as well.”

“Are you planning to continue bringing shame to the family or getting into trouble outside?” Jeffrey scoffed. “You’d better stay home and reflect on your doings. When you decide to be frank, I’ll consider letting you go.”

Once Jeffrey finished speaking, he clapped his hands. A few bodyguards subsequently came from the entrance and captured Catherine right away.

“What are you guys trying to do? Kidnapping me, huh?” Catherine went mad. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that her family would be so cruel.

“I’m just teaching my daughter a lesson. Bring her upstairs and lock her in the room.”

Rebecca quickly advised, “Don’t do this, Dad. After all, Cathy is still young and immature. Moreover, there are always guests coming to visit us. It won’t be good if she screams from upstairs.”

Jeffrey was swayed. “You’re right. Why not… Let’s lock her in the old house located in Pennington.”

Catherine started panicking. Over the past few years, she had returned to Pennington only once for worshiping duties. The house had been passed down for 50 to 60 years by the Jones family. Although the back of the house had been refurbished a little, the surrounding area was desolate and spooky.

It finally dawned on Catherine why Rebecca interceded for her.

“Rebecca, you’re such a b*tch—”

Sally gave Catherine a slap on the face. “Shut up! Your sister is trying to intercede for you, yet you insulted her. You’re very awful indeed!”

“Send her away right now.” Jeffrey waved his hand. Disturbed by the change in Catherine’s character, he wondered what had made her become so awful.

As she was drowsy, Catherine had no idea how long the car ride went on for. She was directly abandoned at the old rural house after that.

A few bodyguards promptly locked the main door. Even the windows were nailed shut.

Worst of all, there was no electricity or water. Not even a blanket was available.
