Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 358 âItâs been cleared, but word about it has basically spread through the company,â Kacey stammered, âChairwoman Jones, donât take other peopleâs gossip too seriously.â
âItâs not gossip. Itâs the truth.â Catherine looked straight at her.
Kacey, ââ¦â
How was she supposed to ask a question like that?
At that moment, the secretary suddenly rushed in and said, âChairwoman Jones, bad news. Someone brought people to the company to cause trouble. When they entered the door, they started smashing items and said they wanted to see you.â
âIâll go down.â Catherine got up.
The secretary was at a loss. âChairwoman Jones, thatâs not a good idea. I think they brought a camera.
They must want to record it and post it online.â
âIt doesnât matter.â Catherine went downstairs.
Along the way, she received a call from Shaun. âDonât go down. Iâve already notified Elle. Sheâll bring someone over to deal with it.â
âNo need. Iâll handle it myself.â
âCathy, donât be impulsive. Fergus Wicks is one of the people who came. Theyâre not people you can reason with.â
Catherine laughed mockingly. âEver since I got tied to you, I can only choose to learn to face these things. After all⦠you canât protect me all the time.â
ââ¦â
She hung up the phone and went out of the elevator.
Immediately, a rotten egg smashed into her forehead, instantly staining the gauze on her face. It was a ghastly sight.
âB*tch, you stole someone elseâs boyfriend! You deserve it! Iâll beat you to death.â A well-dressed young girl stood beside Melanie, looking disgusted and spewing curses.
âChairwoman Jonesâ¦â Kacey was startled and hurriedly took a tissue to wipe her face.
Catherine ripped the gauze off and revealed the red wounds on her face.
âHow ugly! Did Shaun Hill vomit when he saw this face?â Another girl dressed in a flamboyant manner said disgustedly, âTrash like you donât deserve to appear in Canberra. Hurry up and get lost.â
âIâm so sorry to say this, but Shaun was still lying in my bed this morning, gently stroking my face and telling me not to leave him.â
Catherine smiled softly, making Melanie shake from anger. She rushed up to slap her, saying, âCatherine Jones, go to hell!â
Catherine had been waiting for this moment. She grabbed Melanieâs wrist and pulled her toward her, fiercely slapping her several times. âThis is how you hit me yesterday. Iâm giving it all back to you today!â
Melanie was slapped several times and fainted.
âHow dare you lay a hand on her in front of me?! You must have a death wish!â Fergus charged over.
Kacey jumped in surprise and could only rush forward to block him.
Fergus kicked her away, and Catherine took out a fruit knife to press it on Melanieâs face. Her eyes were ruthless. âIf you dare to move, Iâll destroy her face.â
âUncle, donât move. I canât be disfigured.â Melanie was so scared she almost cried.
âCatherine Jones, if you dare to touch her, Iâll take your life!â Fergus shouted furiously. He had come here to settle scores with her, but he did not expect to be threatened instead.
âMy life? Feel free to take it. If I were afraid of death, you wouldnât be standing here.â Catherine sneered, âBut Melanie is different. Youâre still relying on her face to climb up the Hill family. Who would want her if sheâs disfigured?â
âWhat do you want?â Fergus said in annoyance.
âHand over the cameras.â Catherine gave him a look.
Fergus had no choice but to wave his hand, and several cameras were handed over to her companyâs employees.
