Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 68
“Great. Now that you’re aware of it, I’m not going to beat around the bush.” Angela lifted her chin with an arrogant expression. “You’d better stay away from Shaun. He’s not someone you can afford to provoke.”
“What if I don’t stay away from him?” Catherine asked out of curiosity. “You’re interested in him, but he only treats you as a little sister.”
Angela remained impassive. “So what? For noble families like Shaun’s, they’re concerned about a well-matched marriage in terms of social status. To tell you the truth, you don’t even know him well. His family members won’t accept you because you don’t match him. Currently, he’s just having fun with you. His family is going to suck you dry.”
She scoffed in sarcasm and subsequently left in a proud manner.
Catherine was somehow upset by her words. Nevertheless, she did not really give it a thought. Anyway, a marriage certificate would be her biggest reliance at present.
After Catherine left the main building, she soon met up with Freya.
“Look, this is the alcohol I prepared. I’ll get someone to make him drunk later. If he’s not drunk, you have to adopt an aggressive tactic by making him eat this. Remember, this will take effect two hours after he consumes it.”
Freya stuffed the items into her hands.
Catherine felt terrible. “Will this cause any side effects?”
“Why are you still worried about the way I handle things? It definitely won’t affect his health.” It would simply make his body f*cking strong.
However, Freya just kept the last sentence to herself without uttering it.
“If he finds out about it, he’ll certainly be mad.” Catherine was intimidated.
“Why would he be mad? If I were a man who woke up to a beautiful lady lying beside me early in the morning, I’d surely feel at ease. Shaun is an ordinary man too.”
Catherine was swayed by her words.
Shortly afterward, Shaun returned.
Just as Shaun reached the entrance, a strange man kept pestering him. “Mr. Hill, your reputation precedes you. Actually, I’ve long since wanted to get to know you. Let me give you a toast.”
“Just drink it on your own. I’m not interested.” Having met people like him very often since young, Shaun steered clear of him and walked away.
“Ughhh, you’re not showing respect to me!”
