Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 366 As soon as the bandage was done, the door was violently kicked open.
Rodney dashed in. When he caught sight of Shaunâs injuries on his hand, he then said in a huff, âAre you okay, Shaun? To end up in this state all for the sake of a woman?â
âThis is my private affair,â Shaun said indifferently.
âI treat you as my brother,â Rodney said out of annoyance. âLook what Liam has done. He was the one who added fuel to the fire on the Internet and triggered everyone in Australia to criticize you. Even those influential families who used to hold you in awe and respect are shunning you as if youâre a plague. Are you really fine with everyone favoring Liam now?â
Chester laughed. âRodney, youâre overreacting. Does Shaun seem like the sort whoâs easily defeated?â
âButâ¦â
âItâs not easy for Liam to take over Hill Corporation.â Chester shifted his eyes to Shaun.
Shaun smiled. âYou know me best.â
Rodney became glum. âFine. Iâm a busybody. You even punched me on the yacht the other day.â
âServes you rightâ¦â Shaun replied nonchalantly.
Rodney was at a loss for words.
Motherf*cker. He was really pissed off.
âAlright. Forget about the unhappy matters. Rodney flew here from Melbourne when he learned that something happened to you. Letâs get together tonight.â
Shaun kept an impassive face. âWhatâs the point of him coming here? To help me?â
âTo drink with you.â Chester showed a pearly-teeth smile. âDrinking can drown oneâs sorrows.â

The Yule familyâs villa.
The moment Nicola found out that Shaun had bought Catherine a piece of jewelry worth 15 million dollars, she was so furious that she smashed the vase in the living room.
âSomethingâs seriously wrong with Shaun. Melanie treated him so well, yet he chose to marry an illegitimate daughter. Ahhhh. Catherine, you deserve to die like your mom.â
âEnough. Your words are too harsh.â Joel could no longer tolerate her behavior.
âJoel, you useless trash,â Nicole criticized him while pointing to his nose. âSomeone snatched your daughterâs boyfriend and bullied her, yet you canât do anything to help her. Now that Melanie and Fergus are locked in the police station, you canât even bail them out. What kind of a man are you?â
âWatch your mouth, Nicola.â Joel was simmering with rage. It filled him with disgust to look at Nicola, who looked like a crazy woman at that point.
âAm I wrong in saying that? Youâre weak, and thatâs why Melanie got tricked. If youâre not going to save her, then Iâll find a way out.â
With that, Nicola drove to the Hill familyâs house. Old Master Hill felt sorry for the Yule family, so he tried to think of a way to bail Melanie and Fergus out of the police station.
On the day Melanie was released, she hugged Nicola and wept bitterly. âMom, Eldest Young Master has gone too far. He has never bought me jewelry, yet he spent so much buying it for Catherine. I want to kill Catherine.â
Nicola gnashed her teeth. âNo doubt, Iâll send her to hell to meet Sheryl. Anyway, what matters most at the moment is to get you a betterâ¦â
âMom, I only like Eldest Young Master,â Melanie replied amid her sobs.
âShut up,â Nicola said in a fit of fury. âWhy are you still thinking about him even though he humiliated you? Think properly. But I wonât let him off the hook since he humiliated us this time.â
âMom, whatâs your plan? Heâs the Eldest Young Master. We canât afford to provoke himâ¦â
Nicola said coldly, âYouâre overthinking it. Eldest Young Master is no longer as influential as he previously was. Soon, heâll be boycotted by all the noble families in Canberra, and his future will be at stake.â
Melanie was dazed. âMom, I donât know what youâre saying. Why would the noble families boycott himâ¦?â
âYouâll find out about it very shortly. The Hill family feels sorry for you, so theyâve personally promised to arrange a marriage for you. Itâs Charlie Campos from the Campos family.â
Fergus was both surprised and delighted. âLiam is the president of Hill Corporation. Whatâs more, Charlie is Liamâs cousin as well as Leaâs nephew, so heâs bound to have a bright future. Furthermore, the Campos familyâs condition is comparable to the Yule familyâs.â
