Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 453
Catherine asked out of curiosity, “Does Boris’s ex-wife have a child?”
“Now that you mentioned the woman’s child, it’s getting on my nerves,” Freya said in frustration. “I attended a social gathering a few days ago where Thomas Neeson showed interest in me, and ever since then, he’s been pestering me. He’s f*cking annoying.”
“Thomas Neeson?” Catherine frowned. “This name sounds familiar.”
Struck by a thought, Catherine rose to her feet all of a sudden. “I remember it now. When I was in Melbourne, someone called Hugh Jewell wanted to kill me. But luckily, Wesley came to save me. Later, I heard from the police that Thomas from the Neeson family in Canberra took fancy to Hugh’s sister, Lily Jewell. Thomas forced upon her with an underhand tactic and eventually caused Lily to jump off a building. The Jewell family sued Thomas, and he was supposed to serve his sentence. However, Shaun disputed the lawsuit for him and won in the end.”
“Damn. I didn’t know it’s that b*stard.”
Freya was taken aback. “Why did he choose to pester me? How unlucky of me!”
“He doesn’t know where you live, does he?” Catherine was worried about her.
“He does. I have no idea how he got my address. He has been outside my house as soon as I get home from work for the last two days.”
The more Freya thought about it, the more frightened she was. “I don’t think a previous offender like him would barge in just like that, would he? Is there something wrong with Shaun? Why did he dispute a lawsuit for that evil man?”
“…”
Catherine kept quiet, wondering about the same thing as Freya was.
In fact, she felt that she might be getting closer to the truth, but she refused to find out about it.
“I don’t think you should go home in the next few days. Stay in the hotel for the time being,” Catherine reminded her concernedly. “Call me right away if anything happens.”
“Okay. I hope he’ll forget about me in the next few days. F*ck, he’s really annoying.”
