Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 510

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 510
“Brother.” Freya wept bitterly. “How silly of me! I can’t even handle little things like this and ended up putting my friends into trouble.”

“Don’t overthink it. You were merely playing a minor role. You’re not that powerful.”

Freya was at a loss for words.

Were those words a form of consolation or a blow to her?

“I’m serious,” Forrest added nonchalantly, “The other party is so formidable that he could even trick several wealthy families in Australia. Obviously, women like you are far from powerful.”

“What can I do, then?” Freya was incredibly upset.

“You can either go back to Melbourne and manage our family’s company or study abroad.” Forrest stared into her eyes. “When you become the top cosmetic chemist in the world, the Snow family won’t be able to continue blacklisting you by then. Moreover, Osher Corporation will beg you to work with them.”

As Freya was picturing the scene, a wave of emotions overwhelmed her. A moment later, however, she wore a long face. “No way. How can I possibly leave Cathy high and dry? What’s more, Charity is in jail. My conscience will bother me if I leave.”

“Considering how powerless you are, what’s the point of you staying here?”

Forrest’s words left her completely speechless.

…

In the manor.

The moment Catherine received a message from Freya, she went next door to look for Shaun.

She pushed the door open and entered the room, only to find a servant mopping the floor of the empty room. “Where’s Shaun?”

“Eldest Young Master Hill has moved to the main building beside this one. Don’t you know that, Young Madam?” the servant asked in perplexity.

“…”

Catherine shuddered, feeling cold. Previously, he tried his hardest to sleep beside her. Sometimes, he even sneaked into her room when he returned at night.

When did he stop behaving this way?

Was it after Shelley passed away?

Was it because he had issues with her?
