Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 80

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 80
Golf course.

Boom! Shaun swung the golf club and the ball instantly vanished into the distance.

Chase, who was standing by the side, felt the passing breeze and shivered uncontrollably.

Since Catherine left his side, Shaun had been acting sullenly like this every day. Chase was going mad over this.

“Catherine hasn’t returned yet?”

“It’s none of my business if she’s dead or alive.” Shaun gave a snort of contempt before walking to the front. His stomach began to grumble all of a sudden.

Chase scratched the tip of his nose. “I know you’re used to her food, but you can’t starve yourself now that she has left…”

“I’m not,” Shaun replied, sounding evidently annoyed. “I can finally keep fit now that she has left.”

“…”

Perspiration formed on Chase’s forehead. He had not discovered this side of his friend before.

He suddenly admired Catherine for being able to live with that man for so long. He would have gone mad after a few days.

“The day after tomorrow is Rebecca and Ethan’s engagement party. Catherine is probably going to be there too. The Jones family sent me an invitation too. Should I go and… persuade her?”

Shaun raised an eyebrow. “I thought it’s the birthday celebration for Grandma Jones’ 80th birthday?”

“Never heard of that.” Chase shook his head.

A serious expression flashed across Shaun’s face. It appeared that the Jones family did not plan to celebrate the old lady’s birthday at all.

That stupid woman. Was she not afraid to be bullied by those people again?

“No point doing that. This is just another trick of hers. Wait and see. I’m sure she’ll come and beg me before the engagement party.”

In a matter of seconds, he received a message on WhatsApp from Shaunerine.

“See, here it comes.” He clicked into the message to see that Catherine had made three transfers to deposit 60,000 dollars into his account.

His handsome face froze. Chase inched forward to steal a glance. Confused, he commented, “She’s spending a lot to lure you back.”

“Yup.” Shaun’s tense features relaxed.

It must be another one of her tricks.

The other party was still typing.

He waited to see what she was going to say.

20 seconds later, he received another text message. [60,000 dollars is inclusive of the hospital charges from before. I’m sure it’s more than required but I’m feeling kind today.]

An enigmatic smile spread across Shaun’s face. Simultaneously, the veins on his forehead bulged.

Well, well, well. This woman had the courage of a lion.

“…”

Chase, who had stolen a glance of the message, dared not comment.

He thought Catherine was awesome.

She was probably the only person in this world who dared to challenge Shaun.

However, he could not stop himself from pleading mercy for the beautiful and innocent lady.

“This must be a trick to attract your attention. Not only is she trying to bribe you with money but look at her username. Shaunerine, how romantic.”

Shaun felt better about himself upon hearing this and revealed a sarcastic smile. “So what? It doesn’t matter anymore. Even if she kneels before me and begs for three nights…”

Before he could finish the sentence, however, Catherine changed her WhatsApp username to ‘New Beginnings’. She even changed her status to: [I just want to treat myself better from now on.]

“…”

Chase was at a complete loss for words.
