Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 712
When faced with four men at night, a pretty woman would not be able to defeat them. She might even get…
Shaun subconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “There’s a school district in the Hackett neighborhood where many students stay. The security around the area is tight, so how dare they break into the house and steal things at 10 p.m.?”

An hour later, Shaun received the news from Hadley when he was in the office.
“Thomas’ assistant transferred money to the four recidivists’ family members. Each of them received 500,000 dollars.”

Nevertheless, Hadley reminded Shaun cautiously, “It’s because you can’t bear to see Miss Neeson get upset, right?”

A frosty look flashed across Shaun’s eyes.
He lowered his head and rubbed his weary brows.
Indeed, he was doing everything for Sarah’s sake.
