Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 87
“You…” Cindy was visibly shaking by now.
“Stop it, you. We were best friends for almost eight years and we’ve taken countless pictures together. Don’t force me to prove it.”
Catherine calmly swept her gaze past the guests before finally landing her attention on the Jones couple.
“There’s no need to check the security footage because the Jones family wouldn’t allow it to happen anyway. I don’t want to stay at this ceremony for a minute longer. Honestly, I’m disgusted by all of you hypocrites.”
Then, she threw the microphone aside, jumped off the table, and started walking out of the banquet hall under everyone’s gaze.
The Jones and Lowe families looked extremely embarrassed.
Ethan was the most ashamed out of all. Finally, his father stepped forward and announced to the guests, “Let’s start the feast while the young couple gets changed and gets some rest upstairs. I bet they’re getting tired too.”
He threw a warning glare at Ethan after saying that. The latter gritted his teeth as he left the stage and walked toward backstage.
…
By the elevator.
Anxiety rocked through Catherine as she waited for the elevator to arrive.
She had to leave as soon as possible. She had only acted boldly earlier because they were under the public’s eyes.
She was a lone wolf now. They might come rushing to deal with her.
However, the elevator took a long time as it traveled through more than 30 different floors.
“Catherine, stay right there!” Ethan’s furious voice rang behind her.
She looked over her shoulder to find the handsome face written over with intense rage. He had never gotten this upset at her before.
There was no doubt that he might actually assault her.
Just as the frightening possibilities flashed across her mind, a tall figure stepped in front of her like a shield. The silhouette belonged to Wesley.
“Ethan, what are you doing?”
“Uncle, I should be the one asking the question. This is a private matter between me and her. Step away.”
