Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1498 Shaun froze and stared at her with an unpleasant expression.
â Shaunny, Iâm sorry. Even if what I said is hard to hear, I have to do it for the children,â Catherine bit her lip and said in a low voice.
âNo, Iâm unhappy because you think of me as useless. No matter who the mastermind is, I wonât be pulled down that easily.â Shaun hugged her gently. âIf there really comes a day when I canât protect you and the children, you donât have to say anything more. Iâll let you go.â
Catherine did not say anything, but her eyes stung. She loved him, and he loved her.
However, reality was not a fairy tale. They had to be responsible for their children.
After reaching the Snow residence.
When the butler brought them in, they heard Rodneyâs voice when they arrived at the door.
âUncle, Shaun is like my brother and he has a good relationship with the Snow family. You have to help him.â
â Second Master Snow, Young Master Hill and Miss Jones are here, â the butler said.
Shaun and Catherine took a look and saw that besides Nathan, Freya and Rodney were present too.
Shaun nodded at them and punched Rodneyâs shoulder gently. âThanks.â
âWeâre brothers.â Rodney chuckled and rubbed his nose.
Shaun did not say anything else and looked at Nathan. âUncle Nathan, you know how I am. The Hill family has stood at the top of the business world for more than a hundred years and has always abided by the rules. This is the first time that such a large-scale investigation has been carried out. I just want to know what they want.â
âShaun, Iâll tell you the truth.â Nathan lit a cigarette. âI contacted the executive council, and they warned me not to intervene in this matter.
Otherwise, I wonât be able to afford the consequences.â
Everyoneâs expressions changed.
Rodney stood up furiously. âDo they want to ruin Hill Corporation?â
âMost likely,â Nathan nodded and said helplessly, â Even though youâve come to me for help, the only thing I can give you is an apology.â
Shaunâs handsome face sunk. âYouâll be the prime minister next month. What if I delay it until then?â
âShaun, I suspect that itâs not the executive council thatâs targeting you. Someone might have told them to do it, and that force is one that the executive council canât afford to offend. I think itâs imperative that you find out who you offended first. Only then will you be able to come up with a solution, â Nathan reminded him.
âI understand.â Shaun nodded.
Rodney was stunned. âThat canât be. Shaun does have a lot of enemies, but theyâre third-rate trash like Mason and Wesley. How did he provoke someone who even the highest power in the country canât afford to offend?â
âYou donât know, but there are always more powerful people in the world, â Nathan said meaningfully.
After leaving the Snow residence.
Shaun and Rodney were walking side by side. Catherine and Freya walked behind them.
âCathy, donât worry. Thereâll definitely be a way.â Freya did not know how to comfort Catherine, but she said it anyway.
âThere is a way, but Freya, I need your help, â Catherine suddenly said, â It may be the only way to get a clue on who this person is.â
