Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 192 âYoung Master Harrison, do you want to come over as well? Look, thereâs no one left in your room.â
Stephen laughed smugly as he approached the door.
âF*ck you, Stephen Campbell. Youâre doing this on purpose, right?â Chase slapped the table angrily and sprung to his feet.
âWell, theyâre all smart people who follow where the money is.â Stephen raised his brows. âPerhaps soon youâll also have to step down from being the most successful family in Melbourne.â
âYou must still be dreaming if you think you can get to the top of the food chain by sleeping with a shameless woman.â Chase pointed at Rebecca and laughed sarcastically. âA second-hand woman like her? She was still someone elseâs fiancée just last month. Watch your back.â
Indifference filled Rebeccaâs face within seconds. âYoung Master Clark, watch your back. Otherwise, once my dad becomes the president next month, I might tear down the Harrison family first and foremost.â
Catherine, who was listening on the side, chuckled. âDonât be so full of yourself. Itâll be a great embarrassment if that doesnât happen.â
âThatâs right.â Freya laughed joyfully. âThe Jones family has a terrible reputation. Itâs best not to stain Hudsonâs good name too.â
âAgreed,â Chase chipped in as well, laughing.
âLaugh all you want and Iâll see all of you crying next month.â With a straight face, Rebecca grabbed Stephen by the wrist and left the private room.
Janet was left behind. She positioned herself next to Shaun with a coquettish smile. âMr. Hill, why arenât you coming with us?â
The man glared at her coldly.
She did not seem to mind. Ever since encountering Shaun for the first time, she had not seen another man more elegant than him. It was a shame that his position was not a good match for her. However, after learning that he was Australiaâs best attorney, she really thought they were a perfect match.
âMr. Hill, perhaps you donât know much about the Campbell family.â
Janet continued, smiling. âThe Campbell family has over 50 billion dollars in assets and weâre currently investing in F&B, travel, finance, technology, and other industries. Soon, weâll be cooperating with Hudson Corporation, which is one of the top 500 most successful companies globally. Our future is promising. Perhaps one day we can even surpass Australiaâs richest family, the Hills.â
âPfft.â A chuckle escaped Chaseâs lips. He really wanted to yell at the uncultured woman who was sitting right next to the richest man in Australia.
The corners of Shaunâs lips twitched as he really wanted to push the woman away. The strong fragrance coming off her was attacking his nostrils. However, upon noticing Catherine staring at them from the side, he suppressed the desire and pursed his lips in silence.
Thinking she had a chance, Janet boldly laid her head down on his shoulder. âIf youâre willing to be my man, youâll have more money than what youâll spend the rest of your life earning working as an attorney.â
His eyes narrowed. She misunderstood this as a sign and whispered into his ear, âCatherine is not only poor but also stupid. Iâm so much better than her.â
Her hand slowly moved across the manâs chest.
Catherine could not watch any longer. An intense feeling of rage surged inside her. She picked up a wine glass and rushed toward Janet before splashing it on her face. Several ice cubes even landed on the latterâs head.
âAh, Catherine Jones! Youâre out of your mind!â Janet screamed hysterically and sprung to her feet.
Immediately, she grabbed several napkins to dry her face and body.
âI think youâre the one who lost your mind. Itâs so obvious that youâre in heat, hence Iâm helping to cool you down.â
She positioned herself in front of Shaun before saying coldly, âIâm warning you that this is my man. Iâll chop off your hand if I ever see you touch him again.â
âYour man?â Janet scoffed as if she had been told a joke. âYou were sitting so far away from him earlier. Are you sure about this? One-sided love ends up in humiliation most of the time.â
ââ¦â
Catherine lacked confidence at the thought of Shaunâs indifference.
However, Janetâs teasing left her with no choice.
At the same time, the manâs cold voice rang behind her. âGet out.â
