Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 370 âExactly. Thereâs no point being ashamed now,â Queenie said as her mouth twitched. âShaun is in deep trouble this time because of you.â
âHeâs usually quite cool-headed, so why did he end up like this?â Spencer said thoughtfully. âDad and Mom have put so much effort in him.â
Old Master Hill slapped the table. âYou canât stay in Australia anymore. Iâm giving you two options now.
Iâll give you a flight ticket to leave Melbourne and never return. Iâll have your Australian citizenship revoked. Another option is that you stay here, but Iâll put you through hell.â
Catherine suddenly lifted her head and was dazed for a moment.
Leaving Australia and losing her Australian citizenship?
She did think of running away from Shaun when he tortured her before. However, now that she had found out that Shaun offended all the noble families in Canberra for her sake, she did not think she could leave with a clear conscience.
âI want to know what will happen to Shaun.â After a while, her hands curled up into fists. âWill you guys save him?â
âIt depends on him. If he remains stubborn, Iâll just disown this grandson.â
Old Master Hill snorted. âAnyway, his reputation has been tarnished since he broke the hands of nine young masters from the noble families in Canberra. Now everyone from the upper class is boycotting him, and those families are pressuring our family. Considering that he has ruined our familyâs hundred years of reputation, heâll be lucky if he survives.â
Catherineâs eyes swept over all the Hill family members. She noticed that none of them expressed concern for Shaun, including Shaunâs biological mother, Lea.
All of a sudden, Catherine was slightly sympathetic to Shaun. If this was the environment he grew up in, it was no wonder he was extremely cold and distant.
âShaun is your grandson. Is the Hill familyâs reputation or familial relationship more important?â
Unable to tolerate the Hill family anymore, Catherine rose to her feet. âAll of you are his biological grandpa, granny, and mom. How can you behave so indifferently? You favored him when he was capable of bringing honor and profits to the family. But now that heâs at his lowest, you despise him and give up on him, rather than lending him a hand. This has finally opened my eyes to what the Hill family is like.â
âHow dare you!â
Simmering with rage, Old Master Hill grabbed a cup and flung it over her head.
This time, nobody blocked it for her.
It hurt Catherine so much that she nearly fainted.
Blood began to trickle down her face, and at that moment, she looked quite scary.
However, Catherine clenched her fist to keep herself conscious and impassive. Her eyes were even sharper now. âAm I wrong? If a family wants to become influential, shouldnât everyone unite and respect each other? Only families like this would go a long way.â
Everyone was quite stunned, either from her hideous face or words.
A moment later, Lea said angrily, âCatherine, we initially wanted to offer you a chance to survive by allowing you to leave Australia. But you donât seem to cherish it.â
Catherine laughed at her. âThank you for assuming that Iâd cherish it. Let me tell all of you that I will not leave.â
Liam frowned, and a hint of worry flashed across his eyes. âJust leave, Catherine. If you stay here⦠Itâll be a living hell for you. The Hill family wonât let you go. Theyâll lock you in the cellar instead, and itâs horrifying thereâ¦â
âOh, it doesnât matter. Iâve been to places that are even more horrifying.â Catherine remained unperturbed without any sign of fear on her face.
Liam admired her character even more, but he hoped that she would not choose to stay. âItâll be pointless to stay here. Youâll lose your freedom forever.â
âAt least⦠My conscience wonât bother me.â Catherineâs eyes were calm.
âDo you have a conscience?â Valerie teased.
âNone of you will understand the love-hate relationship between Shaun and me,â Catherine responded nonchalantly.
âThen, bring her to the cellar and lock her up.â Old Master Hill snorted as he waved his hand.
The bodyguards made Catherine leave by shoving her.
