Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 506
“See it for yourself.” Shaun stuffed two reports into her hands. “One of them is hair identification, whereas the other one is Shelley’s corpse identification. All these prove that she’s a member of the Langley family. The forensic doctor has examined her face and found that she has never undergone plastic surgery. She’s the real Shelley. Charity has been lying to you.”
Catherine immediately flipped through the reports. The second she caught sight of the words written above, her head nearly exploded.
“This is impossible. Charity couldn’t have lied to me.” She shook her head in disbelief.
“I think you’ve been brainwashed by her. How long have you known her? And how long have you known me? Why would you rather believe in Charity than me? I’ve long since told you that the woman is not a good person.”
Her stubborn character began to make Shaun seethe with anger. “I listened to you and locked Shelley up, but Charity later instructed someone to set fire to the house and burn Shelley to death. The person who set the fire has been identified, and it was someone who acted on Charity’s instructions.”
“…”
Catherine retreated and almost sank into the couch.
Shaun swiftly held her waist and warned her dully, “Watch out, Catherine. You’re pregnant now…”
Before he could finish speaking, she pushed him away. “I’m sure Shelley is Rebecca. When I met her the first time, I found her very familiar…”
“Drop it. You’re just jealous of Shelley, that’s why you’re making all kinds of excuses to support your claim that she’s Rebecca.”
Shaun’s grim eyes revealed a sense of despair. “Why don’t you believe me? If you’d been sensible, you wouldn’t have been overcome by jealousy and tricked by Charity. Now that Shelley is dead, her parents have lost a daughter. Don’t you feel an ounce of guilt?”
“Is this how you see me?”
Catherine fell into a state of utter dejection. “Why don’t you believe me, then? This matter isn’t as simple as it seems. Also, what has Freya done?”
“She didn’t do anything. You asked her to help with the DNA paternity test, and her actions consequently offended Rodney,” Shaun replied indifferently, “You should feel lucky to have me defending you. Otherwise, Rodney wouldn’t have let you off the hook. He would’ve gone all out to ruin Hudson Corporation.”
A dazed look crossed Catherine’s face.
