Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 659

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 659

Walter immediately wilted.

“I know Nicola has evidence of your embezzlement, but you embezzled from Yule Corporation. As long as Chairman Yule doesn’t pursue it, the evidence will be useless.”

Catherine bent down in front of him. Although her tone was gentle, it was one that could make people fearful.

“If you don’t cooperate with us, we’ll send you straight to the police station and check the company’s illegal accounts over the years. Since you’ll be charged with poisoning and embezzlement, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get out of jail for the rest of your life. If you were only instructed to poison someone and didn’t cause death, you’d only be locked up for two years at most. Think about your wife and two children.”

Walter’s eyes trembled slightly.

Catherine continued to push. “Let me remind you that your wife is in her thirties. If you’re in jail for too long, she might take your money and remarry. By then, the children will no longer be yours. Won’t that be a waste of your life?”

“Okay, I’ll help you get the evidence,” Walter said with his teeth clenched.

“Sure, but you have to eat this.” Catherine took out a pill. “I also have to be cautious in case you betray me. I’ll give you the antidote as soon as you finish your task.”

Logan spoke up, “This drug is very poisonous, and it’ll kill you if you don’t get the antidote within a week. Of course, a doctor can treat it, but it’ll take a month. You won’t last that long.”

Walter looked at Catherine’s beautiful and delicate face, which was unnerving at that moment.

“I won’t betray you. One week is enough for me to get the evidence.”

Walter steeled his nerves and swallowed the drug.

After it was over, Catherine accompanied Joel to dinner as if nothing had happened.

“Catherine, where did you get a drug like that?” Joel asked, perplexed. “What have you gone through in your years overseas?”
