Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 137 âKeep quiet if you donât have any proof.â Sally glared at Catherine. âWhat else do you bring to the family apart from troubles? You deserve the mess youâre in today. Take some time to reflect on yourself in prison!â
A shudder passed through Catherine. People always said that even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs, but she felt that Sally and Jeffrey were more savage than a tiger.
âThe two of you will be punished!â she shouted angrily, âItâs one thing that you treat me coldly and with contempt in the past but you shouldnât have set me up. I promise Iâll take my time to destroy Summit!â
Rebecca laughed sarcastically. âDo you think you have much time left? The Clarksâ attorney said that youâll be given a sentence of at least 20 years. My dear sister, take care in prison. Iâll visit when I have the time.â
âAll of you seem so certain that Iâll lose.â Catherine scoffed upon seeing these faces that could not wait to throw her into prison.
James replied arrogantly, âItâs good to have hope, but maybe thereâs something you donât understand.
The Clarks have hired Harry Stewart, the best attorney in the whole of Melbourne, whereas youâ¦â
He threw a quick glance at Hadley before giving a mocking sneer. âHa, who is this? Did you find a recent graduate from law school?â
He walked over to poke Hadleyâs chest. âHey, mate, do you know who youâre fighting against? The Clarks! Donât step through that door and ruin your future. My advice to you is to leave as soon as you can.â
Hadley raised an eyebrow in surprise. Indeed, he had a bit of a babyface, thus others could mistake him as a recent graduate. Interesting.
Rebecca suggested kindly, âNo one dares to take on Cathyâs case. You probably donât know much as youâre still new to the working society. But weâre saying this for your own good.â
âFor who?â
A voice reeked of indifference rang in the air.
Catherine knew who the voice belonged to without having to look over her shoulder. The corners of her lips twitched into a curve. All of a sudden, she was quite eager to see the look on their faces when they were confronted in the court later.
Rebecca, Jeffery, and the others shifted their gaze to the source of the voice.
A few seconds before, the doors to the elevator opened and out came a tall silhouette.
The manâs light gray suit perfectly accentuated his strong and towering build. His handsome yet intimidating face revealed no emotions. As his calm and quiet eyes scanned across the faces before him, the others could not help but tremble slightly.
It was him.
Rebecca recognized the man within seconds.
He was the man who had shown up at the restaurant with Chase last time. This was the man who had instructed the staff to throw her and her friends out of the place.
Janet had looked into him after that and found out that he was just an attorney.
Was he the attorney that took on Catherineâs case?
âI didnât know youâre that close with these people.â Shaunâs darkened eyes turned to Hadley as he spoke flatly.
âYouâre pulling my legs,â Hadley explained with a polite smile, âThey mistook me for Miss Jonesâ
attorney and thought that Iâm a fresh graduate.â
âYour face⦠Indeed, you look too young,â Shaun commented after taking a quick look.
Hadley smiled and shrugged helplessly.
James understood what was happening now. However, as he was used to having Jefferyâs support in Melbourne all this time, he had adopted an arrogant attitude. He did not think highly of Shaun.
âOh, I understand now. Youâre Catherineâs attorney huh? Sigh, a good-looking man like you shouldnât have to work as an attorney. Just find a sugar mommy and Iâm sure you can live a better life than this.â
A hint of astonishment flashed across Hadleyâs eyes. Well, the last person who dared to speak to Young Master Hill with that tone was long dead.
