Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1713 Nevertheless, he held back at the thought that he was still not powerful enough.
âMm.â Shaun asked with a deep voice, âWhatâs the matter?â
What did that mean? Could she not casually look for him?
When Catherine observed his expression carefully, she noticed his deep -set eyes were infinitely dark.
She could already sense his increasing indifference after two days.
This realization ached her heart. All of a sudden, it dawned on her that she preferred the previous Shaun who was silly compared to the current version of him.
However, since she had made it clear, it would be pointless to dwell on it.
âUncle Titus gave me a call and told me Sheryl had escaped.â
Catherine told Shaun their analysis on the issue. âIf Sheryl withdraws the charge, things will be troublesome when Rebeccaâs shares go to Jeffery or herself.â
âI know.â
Shaun nodded, his handsome, calm face was giving nothing away. âItâs late. You should sleep early with Lucas and Suzie.â
Was he tacitly kicking her out again?
Catherine was inexplicably sulky. âYou might not know how serious this issue is. Youâll be brought down again regardless of whether Jeffery or Sheryl obtains the sharesâ¦â
âHill Corporation has nothing to do with you.â At the sight of her worried expression, Shaun could not help but interrupt her. âYou donât have to worry so much.â
Dumbfounded, Catherine felt as if her chest was punched. She was so furious that she said reluctantly, âDo you think I want to worry about it? I couldnât help but feel that you offended Rebecca and Sheryl all because of me. I think Iâm responsible for itâ¦â
âYouâre not responsible for it. With Hill Corporationâs might, even if Rebecca and Wesley hadnât been eyeing it, other people wouldâve done the same. Hostile takeovers are commonplace in all parts of the world. Since I failed to secure Hill Corporation earlier, it means that I wasnât capable enough and that the Hills werenât united.â
Shaunâs brows furrowed. âAs a business powerhouse, I should be mighty enough to go through all the ups and downs. If I lose, it just shows that Iâm incapable. Even if I donât lose Wesley today, I wouldâve lost to someone else the next day. You donât have to feel guilty, nor take the responsibility for Hill Corporation and the Hill family.â
For a long while, Catherine was silent. His words left her speechless.
In fact, what Shaun said made sense. Given his head injury and lack of experience, how could he possibly deal with the lunatic Sheryl and Wesley?
âButâ¦â
She finally said something.
âCathy, youâre exhausted because you always take responsibility for everything. I asked you to be my girlfriend back then, but Iâm not planning on marrying you. You need to be selfish, â Shaun said all of a sudden.
Catherine was stunned. After a while, she chuckled. âI got it. I wonât be a busybody anymore.â
Shaun frowned. He did not mean to blame her for being a busybody. Rather, he did not want her to exhaust herself. âCathy, you should learn to trust me.â
âMm. Iâll try.â
Catherine nodded perfunctorily.
She turned around and walked back to her room.
She wished she could trust him too but after all, he had just stepped into the business world. Besides, the professor had still been giving him business lessons these few days.
Regardless of his capability, how would he be able to solve the crisis this time?
Fine. She did not want to poke her nose into his business anymore.
He was right. After all, Hill Corporation was not her company.
What did it have to do with her?
Ha.
