Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1659 âIâll go with you,â Hadley said immediately. âBut if Rebecca really is dead, then what about her shares?
Will they fall into the hands of Jeffery and his wife?â
Catherineâs chest tightened. Hadleyâs words served as a reminder.
âWhatâs the current situation at Hill Corporation? According to Shaun, Rebecca brought in her own people to take over Hill Corporation and even fired many of the companyâs senior executives?â
âYes, Rebecca hired a team herself. The person in charge is someone called Wade. The rest of them took over other important positions of GM and managers of various departments.â Hadley had a headache. âI looked into it and discovered that Wesley and Wade are close.â
âSo Wade is one of Wesleyâs men,â Catherine said as she was struck with an understanding.
âYes. That, in fact, made sense. As ruthless as she was, Rebecca wasnât particularly skilled and capable of dealing with the business side of things. When it comes to her connections, Wesley was the only one she knew outside the Costner family. She must know, however, that when two dogs aim for a bone, itâs the third dog that gets it. Wesley must have gone to look for Jeffery and Sally when he returned to Melbourne suddenly.â
âYes, Rebecca probably had the impression that her relationship with Wesley was one where they exploited each other, but she was wrong. She was only but a tool to Wesley. â Catherine sighed. âIn the end, she underestimated Wesleyâs brutality and viciousness.â
Wesleyâs cruelty seemed to have no bounds.
Hadley smiled wryly. âIf thatâs the case, Hill Corporation fell into Wesleyâs laps following his elaborate scheme. Wesleyâs Golden Corporation is already at its pinnacle. If he were to control Hill Corporation by pulling the strings from behind the scene with Jeffery as a puppet, then heâll be at the top. Who else then, would be able to compete with him in the future?â
Catherine also understood why Gavin Mead would help Wesley.
âI wonât let Wesley succeed.â She gritted her teeth coldly.
Hadley smiled bitterly. âWhat can you do? It might be possible if Young Master Hill was fine, but he currently has the IQ of a two-year-old⦠The both of you arenât married either, so you have no right to interfere. Besides⦠Wesley and you are still technically husband and wife⦠If you step in, others might retaliate and accuse you of colluding with Wesley to annex Hill Corporation.â
Catherine thought about Lea, who was still a shareholder.
Lea might possess a strong business acumen but she was no match for Wesleyâs malice and guile.
âIâll train Shaun back to how he once was as soon as possible. Iâve discovered that heâs actually not stupid, so itâs not like this problem is hopeless. As long as we kick Wade away and prevent Jeffery from entering the company, Wesleyâs plan wonât work.â
Catherine mused, âRebecca bought Hill Corporation with the money that Sheryl gave her, so Sheryl is qualified to reclaim her shares. It wonât fall into Jefferyâs hand.â
âBut Sheryl and Jeffery are siblings. Will she do it?â
ââ¦Weâll cross the bridge when we get there.â Catherine sighed.
Now, she only hoped that Titus could quickly cure Sherylâs illness.
Aunty Yasmine was done cooking when Hadley left.
Old Madam and Old Master Hill were not pleased when they saw Shaunâs silly expression.
âMom, Dad, donât worry. Shaun will get better.â Lea comforted the two elders. âAnd⦠This is quite good too. Shaunâs childhood had always been miserable. Now that he has returned to his younger self, he gave us parents a chance to redeem ourselves. Weâ ll give him a happy childhood this time.â
Old Master Hill snorted. âWhat rubbish are you spouting? A perfectly good man was reduced to this.
The rest of the world will laugh at him. Besides, do you really think he needs you to give him a childhood? Do you think he relies on you as a mother?â
Lea was embarrassed.
It was obvious that Shaun had been clinging to Catherine since they sat at the table. Yet, he refused to talk to her and every cell in his body seemed to say âIâm not happy. Hurry up and coax meâ.
Old Madam Hillâs heart softened when she saw him. âShaun wasnât this cute when he was young.â
âCome, Shaun. Have this drumstick. You have to eat more to be healthy, â she said as she handed him a drumstick.
