Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 438

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 438
“That’s because Nicola Wicks invested several billion dollars.” Shaun’s eyes revealed a dangerous intent. “If I guessed correctly, she did so after Aunty Valerie agreed to disfigure Catherine’s face. She’s falsifying the sales.”

Stunned, Old Madam Hill was unsure what to say.

“Granny, you should be grateful. I wouldn’t have kept her alive if not for you and Grandpa.”

He rose to his feet. “Look at your son and daughters. One of them only cares about supporting her husband’s family, the other one is falsifying sales. Your only son is mediocre and incompetent. Do you think you and Grandpa could enjoy your old age with the wealth you have now if not for me?”

Old Madam Hill seemed to have grown older by a few more years after hearing that.

12:00 p.m.

Catherine reappeared out of the kitchen after making lunch but the tension in the air seemed to have grown.

She placed the dishes in front of Old Madam Hill.

The latter seemed surprised at the dishes laid out in front of her. Every dish not only looked good but tasted more home-cooked than the ones made by the Hill family’s chefs.

She noticed that Shaun, who had never enjoyed food, was devouring every dish—especially the pork belly…

She tried a small piece of the pork. It tasted better than she expected.

The plate was almost emptied when she reached for a second piece.

“Stop eating it all. Granny hasn’t tried it yet.” Catherine moved the bowl of pork toward the old woman.

Shaun frowned. “Why didn’t you prepare more?”

“You had it last night and again this afternoon. It’s not healthy to overeat pork belly.” She placed some vegetables into his bowl. “It’s important to have a balanced diet and not be picky. If you keep that bad habit up, then I won’t cook for you anymore.”

“Fine, I’ll listen to you.”
