Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1322 âApparently, you know quite a lot of things.â Shaunâs tone was grim.
Upon hearing it, Thomasâs heart raced in fear. âI can be your witness, but you need to promise me one thing, that is to ask Chester to protect me. I donât want to be kidnapped anymore.â
Although Shaun was a shadow of his former self, he was Chesterâs good friend. In this regard, Thomas believed that Chester would still be able to protect him.
âKidnap?â Shaun was startled.
âYes. Sarah, that b*tch, probably thinks that I always give her trouble and disrupt her plans, so she wants to kill me.â Thomas said in agony, âIâve been locked in a dark cellar for the past one month.
Every day was like a living hell for me. There was a masked woman who occasionally came and tortured me. She even planned on killing me in the end, but I escaped. Iâm still wounded.â
âAlright. Iâll get someone to protect you. Keep a low profile and donât let Sarah find out,â Shaun immediately said.
âOkay, okay. Young Master Hill, Iâm counting on you to protect my life.â Thomas could not be bothered about other things at this point.
On the other end.
Shaun put down his phone.
In the private room, Catherine was flipping the oily barbecued meat. The aroma of both the cumin and the meat subsequently permeated the room. â Thomas called you and told you that Sarah wants to kill him, huh?â
âMm.â Shaun could not make heads or tails of Thomas either. âFrom his tone, he seemed to have gotten the fright of his life.â
âNow that he has come to you to ask for help, he must be tortured both mentally and physically. â
Catherine could not resist tutting. âHaving said that, itâs a bit strange. Would a cruel person like Sarah allow him to escape?â
âThatâs what Iâm thinking too.â Shaun pondered. â I suspect someone purposely kidnapped Thomas and framed Sarah with the sole intention of making these siblings hate each other.â
âPerhaps.â Catherine shrugged. âWicked people like them would surely have offended other people apart from us. Youâre really lucky this time, Attorney Hill. It seems like youâll win the case.â
âPlease. I can win it even without Thomas. I just need to use some tactics.â
Shaun took a piece of meat and some salad for her. â Cathy, believe me. My reputation as the most brilliant attorney in Australia is well earned.â
âSure, sure. You once lost to the attorney whom I hired with two thousand dollars, â Catherine mocked him.
âThat time⦠It wasnât because I couldnât beat him. I knew that I misunderstood you, so I didnât want to proceed with the lawsuit, â Shaun explained with a tinge of guilt.
At the mention of that issue, Catherine went silent.
Although it was over, she could not get over the fact that Logan had lost his finger.
Silence instantly befell the private room. Shaun tightened his grip on the fork. âCathy, Iâd like to make it up to Logan. See what he needsâ â
âHeâs a man whoâs easily satisfied. Heâs quite content with his present condition, and thereâs nothing else he needs. â Catherine interrupted him and changed the topic. âLetâs eat.â
Nevertheless, the situation was rather awkward after that. No matter what Shaun said, Catherine was not really in the mood to interact with him.
As Loganâs boss, she had failed to protect his subordinate, who had been protecting her wholeheartedly. She even got together with the person who chopped off his finger. As such, Catherine was quite annoyed with herself.
Shaun stared at her silently and gradually spoke less.
Despite the fact that he had gotten back together with Catherine, he knew that certain wounds were impossible to heal.
