Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 191 The attorney who was speaking with Shaun felt a shudder pass through him out of the blue and quickly shut up. He took his wine glass and went to join the dice game on the side.
Chase sat down next to his friend, speechless. âBrother, Iâve already invited Catherine here out of kindness. When will you stop the cold treatment?â
âAre you sure you didnât invite her here for Miles Clark?â Shaun mocked coldly.
âCome on.â Chase was not sure what to say. âWell, youâre the one who didnât show interest when she showed up.â
An indifferent smile flashed across Shaunâs face. âHa, forget it. A loose woman like her? No, thanks.â
At the same time, a few people came in through the door. It was Stephen Campbell alongside Janet and Rebecca.
ââ¦â
Chase was at a loss for words.
What a sh*tty day this was that put archenemies in the same room. He had the premonition that something bad would happen.
Stephen scanned around the room before walking toward Chase.
âYoung Master Harrison, I was just hanging out with my friends in the other room. Young Master Cook told me that youâre here too, so I came over to say hi. This must be the reputable attorney, Mr. Hill. Iâve heard a lot about you and itâs great to finally see you in person.â
Shaun did not budge, still keeping the indifferent expression on his face. However, Chase could not do the same. He did not have to care about Janet but Stephen was the newest successor to the Campbell family, hence he had to show some respect. Besides, the Campbell family was gaining much influence these days.
âCongratulations, President Campbell, for taking over the family business.â Chase threw a quick glance at Rebecca while keeping the smile on his face. âBut why are you with the woman from the horrible Jones family? Tsk, are there no more fishes in the sea?â
Stephen laughed aloud before grabbing Rebecca closer into his embrace and shouted, âListen up, everyone, let me introduce my girlfriend, also known as the daughter of Jeffery Jonesâthe major stockholder of Hudson Corporation.â
Everyone fell into a heated discussion. Both Chase and Shaun frowned at the sound of that.
âNo way, since when did Jeffery Jones become the major stockholder of Hudson Corporation?â
âIs he lying?â
ââ¦â
âStephen, letâs keep it low-key,â Rebecca said shyly.
âWhy should we? Itâs not exaggerating to say youâre the richest young lady in the whole of Melbourne, given your new circumstance.â He kissed her on the cheek. âSay, how did I find such a treasure like you?â
âStop it.â Rebecca lowered her gaze to the ground, looking embarrassed.
Janet threw a sideways glance at Catherine before saying loudly, âMy brother isnât lying. We were just hanging out in the private room with executives and stockholders of Hudson Corporation. Everyone was talking about this new project worth hundreds of billions of dollars.â
The room became chaotic.
âWow, thatâs a grand project!â
âOne can easily get over a billion dollars profit out of it by participating.â
âHey, Miss Jones, weâve not met the executives of Hudson Corporation before. Is it cool if we hop over and say hi?â
Rebecca twitched her red lips into a smile. âOf course. If you donât mind, you all are welcome to hang out with us in my private room.â
âLetâs go. Young Master Harrison, weâll be back soon.â
In a matter of minutes, only Catherine, Freya, Shaun, Miles, and Chase were left in the previously lively private room.
