Chapter 371: Chapter 371

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 371 Everyone looked at Catherine differently. After a while, Old Madam Hill said, “I didn’t expect this little girl to be so stubborn.”

Queenie pouted. “Don’t let her deceive you, Granny. If you don’t believe me, try starving her for a few days without offering her water or rice. I’m sure she’ll beg for mercy.”

“Shut up. She’ll die if she doesn’t eat or drink for several days,” Liam roared with rage.

“Why are you shouting at me? She’s not even into you,” Valerie replied in a fit of fury.

“Alright. Just make sure she’s not dead.” Old Madam Hill said, “Shaun nearly went mad when Sarah died back then. If anything happens to Catherine, I’m worried that he’ll go insane.”

Everyone kept quiet.

After everyone was dismissed, Valerie gave Nicola a call once she returned to her room.

Nicola was overjoyed upon learning the news. She quickly said, “As long as you help me torture Catherine to death in the cellar, I’ll offer you 500 million dollars to help your company achieve its goal.”

Valerie was shaken for a moment. Hill Corporation owned a lot of property, and she was currently in charge of matters related to insurance in the company. However, she was not well regarded by the Hill family because the company’s yearly performance had not improved. If she managed to hit the target for this quarter, Old Master Hill would definitely view her in a different light…

However, at the thought of Shaun’s illness…

She shuddered with fear. “I can’t torture her to death.”

“Why not? Are you still afraid of Shaun? He’s doomed for life. There’s no hope for him.”

“I really can’t do it,” Valerie responded. “I can do anything to her except killing her.”

After some thought, Nicola’s mouth curved into an evil smile. “Fine then. Sometimes, it’s more miserable for people to live than die. Since she enjoys seducing people, destroy her face so that men will be disgusted by her.

“No problem.”

…

In the cellar.

Catherine was violently pushed inside. Shortly after, the only dimly lit lamp by the stairs was flipped off.

It was indeed pitch-dark inside.

There was no phone signal either.

She used the flashlight on her phone to look around. There was nothing else apart from a small window with iron bars and a thin blanket.

This was considered fine compared to being locked in the Hill family’s old residence previously. She was given a blanket here, at least.

She refrained from using her phone for fear that it would soon run out of battery, and in that case, she would not know the time.

The next morning, someone brought her a bowl of porridge.

She was actually quite relieved to find that there was something to eat and the porridge was not stale.

Her lunch was also porridge. In the middle of her meal, someone suddenly made their way down. Only until he walked to the door did she make out Liam.

Liam looked at the miserable porridge in Catherine’s hand with a complicated gaze. “I can beg Grandpa for mercy. As long as you promise not to return to Australia and get together with Shaun anymore, you might be able to leave here.”

Catherine averted her eyes and turned a deaf ear to his words. She continued to focus on eating her porridge.

“Catherine, didn’t you hear what I said? You won’t be able to get by on that stuff forever. It’s dark and cold here. It’s not a place for humans,” Liam yelled anxiously. “The person who stayed here the last time went insane after half a month.”
