Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 44

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 44
“Maybe not. Freya said that the Jones family is hopelessly biased.”

“Alright. I’ll check it out.”

Fretful, Shaun then gave Hadley another call. “Find out where Catherine last appeared.”

An hour later, Hadley brought him some news.

“Miss Jones went to the Jones family’s house three days ago. Shortly after she entered the house, the Jones family headed to the old house located in Pennington using their car. She’s probably there.”

“Do you mean that she might be imprisoned?”

“Very likely. The Jones family would not go there except for their family worship. What’s more, that place is remote and desolate.”

Shaun held his phone firmly. “Come and pick me up. I’m going to visit that place in person.”

…

Considering that Pennington was a large distance away, Hadley drove for three hours before they reached there.

It was already midnight by then. Only when Shaun got out of the car did he realize that the place was eerily desolate. It was surrounded by mountains, and there was no light.

The old house that belonged to the Jones family was constructed in an enclosed style. From the main door, it seemed that the house was a few decades old.

Shaun knocked on the door, yet there was no response. As such, he climbed over the wall straight away.

The minute he stepped on the ground, a ray of light shone on him.

“Who are you? Why are you barging into the house in the middle of the night?”

Shaun turned around and saw an old lady who was holding a torchlight. “I’m looking for someone. I knocked on the door just now, but you didn’t open it.”

“I’m the only one living here. Get out now.” The old lady gave him a push.
