Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1499 âMe?â
Freya was a little stunned. âAre you sure?â
âActually, I suspect that the people who rescued Patrick from prison and the people who are targeting Hill Corporation are the same,â Catherine said with a complicated tone, â Itâs too much of a coincidence.
Both events happened at the same time and the orders came from the executive council.â
âYou mean⦠because I offended Patrick, those people are targeting Hill Corporation as youâre my friend and Shaun is your boyfriend?â
âNo, I suspect that itâs Linda.â
Catherine made a guess. âWe know very well about the Jackson familyâs ability, especially after seeing the look on the faces of Patrickâs parents. They were really powerless and even gave up on saving their son, but he was suddenly released. Itâs definitely thanks to someone close to him and who wanted to save him, so itâs very likely to be Linda.â
âLinda?â Freya was astonished. âIs she that capable? As far as I know, Linda has been overwhelmed these days. The Shelby family is going bankrupt.â
âHave you forgotten what happened three years ago?â Catherine reminded her. âWhen I asked you to go to Melbourne to do the DNA test for Shelley Neeson and Jeffery Jones, you were seen by Linda and Rebecca took the opportunity to flee.â
Freyaâs brain flashed. âYou mean that Rebecca is helping Linda?â
âWhen my momâs grave was destroyed, I received a warning letter from Rebecca. She may have found a new force to back her abroad. It seems sheâs sure that she can bring me down, â Catherine said with deep concern, âEven Jeffery and his wife easily got out of prison. Logan and Austin were attacked as well.â
Freya found it a little difficult to accept that fact. âS o you think that the force behind Rebecca can give orders to the people in the executive council?â
âI donât want it to be true either, â Catherine said with a heavy expression.
âIf itâs true, then Rebecca definitely came back for revenge. Itâs impossible for a vicious person like her to let us go.â Freya gnashed her teeth in annoyance. âItâs so unfair. Why hasnât God given her retribution yet?â
âYou have the protection of the Snow family, so you should be fine, â Catherine comforted her.
âBesides, Iâm the one sheâs after. I think that if the person behind this really is her, when Hill Corporation falls, her next target will be Hudson Corporation. â
âWhy isnât she going after you first?â
âBecause Iâm Hudson Corporationâs only shareholder and all the power is in my hands, so it wonât be easy for them to start with me. On the other hand, Shaun is supporting me. If they get rid of my supporter, itâll be easier to deal with me afterward, â Catherine explained faintly.
Freya admired her more and more.
She had to say that after experiencing so many things, Catherine had become increasingly calm.
â I want to help you⦠Do you want me to start with Patrick?â Freya thought about it for a long time and finally seemed to understand.
Catherine nodded. âShaun and I are in the light, but the person behind the scenes is in the dark. We know nothing about that force. I think that the other partyâs power isnât small, so itâs impossible to go against them headfirst. We can only ferret out the culprit and sit down to have a talk about it. I think that Rebecca probably just hooked up with a powerful man abroad. A person like that definitely wonât be muddled by love, so itâs possible to solve this if we offer him some benefits.â
Freya had a headache now. âSo what should I do with Patrick?â
âI think he still has feelings for you.â Catherine looked at her with a slightly helpless and apologetic expression. â If there are feelings, thereâll be guilt.â
Freya laughed and held her bulging belly. âIâm married now and pregnant too. Donât forget, when he uploaded the video, he was basically trying to kill me.â
