Chapter 316: Chapter 316

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 316 Liam was stunned for two seconds. His expression was bizarre. “I didn’t know that you already have a fiancé, Miss Jones.”

Catherine replied, “Mm. I’m really thankful for your help that day, Second Young Master Hill.”

“You’re welcome. I found your driving skills quite amazing.”

Liam winked at her. “Let’s learn from each other one day.”

“Are your driving skills amazing?” Wesley was a little surprised.

“Hmm… My skills were better than usual probably because I was trying to save my life.” Catherine shrugged while forcing a smile.

The three of them had a brief chat. After that, Liam bade them goodbye and left.

Silence descended in the ward. Wesley’s brows flashed with a complicated feeling. “Cathy, do you regret getting engaged to me in Melbourne?”

“What’s wrong?” Catherine was puzzled.

Wesley stared at her with a bitter expression. “I’ve been doing well since I was young. It’s only when I reached Canberra did I realize how insignificant I am. Second Young Master Hill is an elite among the elites. Suddenly, I feel that I don’t qualify to be together with you.”

Catherine smiled gently. “You think too highly of me. Even after returning to the Yule family, I’m just an illegitimate daughter. No one from wealthy families would agree to let their sons marry me.”

“They’re just too shallow. They don’t know the positive qualities in you.” Wesley held a strand of her hair and tucked it behind her ear.

Catherine subconsciously felt like dodging him, but she still bore with it.

…

The third day.

Nicola and Melanie came to the hospital in a fit of rage.

“Joel, why are you doing this? Why are we not allowed to enter our house?” Nicola kicked up a fuss the moment she walked in. “Even your biological daughter isn’t allowed to go in. All you currently care about is just Catherine, right?”

“Dad, are you really planning to abandon me?” Melanie began to weep bitterly.

Joel felt sour deep down. “After—”

“Dad…” Catherine stopped him.

Joel kept quiet right away.

“Catherine, you’re the one who forced Dad not to allow me to return home, right?” Melanie vented her anger on Catherine. “That’s my home. I’ve been living there for 20 years!”

“It’s my fault, Cathy.” Nicola suddenly kneeled on the floor. “I won’t do that again. Please don’t ask your dad to kick us out. Melanie and I can’t live without your dad.”

It was Joel’s first time seeing Nicola act so submissively. A mixture of emotions filled him at that moment. After all, they had been married for over ten years. What was more, she was the mother of his daughter. Just as he was about to pull Nicola up, his phone rang.

The minute he saw the incoming call notification, he answered it as he walked. After learning the news, his chest began to ache in excruciating pain.

Once the call ended, he walked to Nicola and kicked her down. “You vicious woman, I thought your intention of ruining Cathy’s reputation previously was your worst doing. I didn’t expect you guys from the Wicks family to hurt her too!”

After getting kicked to the ground, Nicola was dazed. Melanie was so terrified that she did not dare to move at all. “Dad, you’re crazy. Why did you kick Mom?”

“Joel, you kicked me? You actually kicked me?” Nicola’s eyes reddened, and she almost went mad.

“Not only did I kick you, but I’m also going to divorce you,” Joel said furiously, “The gardener who worked for our family has admitted that it was Brody who paid him to tamper with the brakes in Catherine’s car with the intention of killing Catherine. Brody is close to Fergus. Who else would do such a thing except for the Wicks family?”

“I didn’t do it.” Nicola clutched Joel’s hand and began to weep innocently. “Because of Brody, you’re ruining our relationship which we’ve developed for more than ten years? Who knew who Catherine has offended out there?”

“Enough. Stop pretending. You’ve been disgusted by her since she came to Canberra, and you’ve always thought of ways to trick her. I’m definitely going to divorce you.” Joel pushed Nicola away and then called the security officer to drag her out. As for Melanie, he asked the bodyguard to send her back to the Yule household straight away.

Joel managed to give a small smile in the ward. “It finally dawned on me what kind of a vicious woman I’ve been keeping by my side. She’s just terrifying.”
