Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 97

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 97
Before long, Ethan’s father called in anger.

“You useless son, what the hell did you do? Even your uncle was offended and Golden Corporation withdrew all their funds. Get back here this instant.”

…

The next morning, Catherine received a call from Wesley.

“Do you have time to have lunch together? I want to talk to you about the villa.”

“Sure.”

“I’ll pick you up in my car,” Wesley said in a soft voice, “I’m afraid you won’t know the way to the restaurant.”

Catherine could only go along with his arrangement.

At noon sharp, Wesley’s car appeared downstairs.

She got in, and Wesley handed her a cup of milk tea. “I’m sorry, you were wronged yesterday.”

The milk tea was not expensive, so Catherine took it without reservations.

“After being backstabbed by a relative, I believe that you’re not feeling too good either, President Lyons.”

“You’re really smart.” Wesley’s eyes were full of bitterness, but there was sincere appreciation in his voice. “Ethan has really disappointed me. He wasn’t like this before.”

Catherine was disappointed and frustrated as well. She shared the very same thoughts.

At what point did that warm and sunny childhood friend of hers change beyond recognition?

Wesley started the car. “All the cooperations between Golden Corporation and Lowe Corporation have been canceled.”

“That must be a big blow to Ethan.” Catherine sighed. The position of the successor to Lowe Corporation that Ethan longed for was not stable anymore.

She suddenly felt a little sad.
