Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1454 Shaun lowered his eyes full of guilt. To put it bluntly, the scars he inflicted on her would always be there. âCathy, I was angry today because I was afraid of losing you. Think about it. If one day, I lied to you and said that I was eating with a colleague, but you found out that I was actually eating with a young girl you donât know, would you feel uncomfortable?â
Catherine bit her lips. If she were in his shoes, she would indeed feel uncomfortable.
âSorry. I⦠wonât meet him in the future.â
âThereâs no need for that,â Shaun rubbed her head and suddenly smiled. âDidnât you say it yourself?
You think of him as a younger brother. I should trust you more. Just donât lie to me next time.â
âYou really⦠wonât mind?â Catherine was stunned.
âOnly him. It doesnât apply for others, â Shaun said faintly. âDonât worry, although I agree for you to continue meeting him, Iâll never eat or go out with other young girls alone.â
Catherineâs heart softened at his words. She stood on her tiptoes and took the initiative to hook her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the lips. â Thank you, Shaunny. Donât worry. At most, Iâll help Matthew have a look when he wants to buy a house. He really doesnât know much about the capital. If he invites me for dinner, Iâll call you too. If you donât go, I wonât eat alone with him either.â
âOkay.â Shaun felt his mouth taste as sweet as honey from her kiss.
If they were not in a public area, he wanted nothing more than to pull her into his arms and give her a long and hot kiss. âCathy, did you say that he wanted to buy a house in Canberra?â
âYeah, he said his parents would come back and settle down for a while,â Catherine said.
âDo you know what his family does?â Shaun asked.
âHe said he owns banks, but Iâ m not sure either. After all, heâs still so young.â Catherine thought about it. âBy the way, I saw that he has the same black card as you. His status must be pretty extraordinary.â
Shaunâs eyebrows raised. â Cathy, you might not know this, but my black card was issued in Country L, and there are only fifty cards in the world. The only people who can get the black card are old families standing on the top of the pyramid in various countries around the world. The Campos family was the number one family in the country before, but Mason was not qualified to apply for one because the Campos family only rose to the top for a short amount of time.â
Catherine was stunned for a long time. âYou mean that Matthew was born in a family thatâs on the top of the pyramid in another country, and his family has stood at the top for hundreds of years?â
âMaybe itâs more than that,â Shaun shook his head and frowned. âIf his parents want to come here, then their status is probably higher than mine. I wonder why such powerful people are suddenly coming here. Iâm afraid Canberraâs business world wonât be peaceful for long.â
Catherineâs eyes flashed. âBy the way, you asked him if he was from the Costner family in Neah Bay.
Have you heard of that last name before?â
âYeah, â Shaun nodded. He lowered his eyes and thought deeply, suddenly remembering the familiarity Catherine felt towards Matthew. Would a person suddenly feel that way for another person?
Could Matthew Costner really be from that Costner family?
Why did he suddenly appear here?
Furthermore, why did he meet Catherine multiple times coincidentally?
âShaunny, stop thinking about it, â Catherine pulled his hand. âI think that Matthew is a good person.
Even if his family wants to develop here, at most, youâll be healthy business competitors. Or are you worried that your position as the richest man in the country would be taken away?â
