Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 658 âPresident Yule, I donât know what youâre talking about.â Walter feigned composure and said with a bitter face, âIâve been with you for ten years, and Iâve always been loyal to you.â
âThatâs right. Itâs been ten years.â Catherine nodded.
âAlthough a secretaryâs salary is only 20 thousand dollars a month, my dad always gives you a million for your year-end bonus. He also gave you a house, a car, and sent your two children to the best schools, yet this is how you repay him. Walter, you can deny it, but we have records of you poisoning Dad. You probably donât know, but weâve installed hidden cameras at every corner of the house.â
Catherine then took out a miniature surveillance camera from the display case in the living room.
Walterâs face turned pale.
âIâll give you another chance. Who instructed you?â Catherineâs beautiful eyes were cold.
âNo⦠no one instructed me. I did it myself,â Walter mumbled and shook his head. âI hate Chairman Yule. I⦠I hate that heâs so stingy with his salary every year.â
âIâve given you, a secretary, so much, and you still think itâs too little.â Joel was so pissed that he coughed while holding his chest.
âDad, donât get worked up. You have to understand that some people will only get hungrier the more you feed them. Itâs only normal that a man can never be content.â
Catherine turned to say to Walter, âBring him in. Iâll leave him in your hands.â
âYou⦠What are you going to do to me?â Walter looked at the approaching Logan and turned pale.
However, Logan simply dragged him into a bedroom, ignoring him.
In a short while, miserable and brutal cries sounded.
Joel trembled as he listened. âCathy, youâ¦â
âDad, if you donât teach him a lesson, heâll always take advantage of you.â With a smile, Catherine helped him to sit down.
âNo, heâll have to be sent to a police station later. Iâm afraidâ¦â
âDonât worry. No one will find out about it,â Catherine said. âI only told Logan to hit him at a few pressure points. Itâll feel like heâs been stabbed by a thousand needles, and the pain is worse than death, but he cannot move. The more he moves, the deeper the needles will penetrate, and the more painful itâll be.â
ââ¦â
Joel could not help but shiver. âWhere did you learn this? And that young man from beforeâ¦â
âDad, I finally understand after all these years. We can only protect ourselves if weâre ruthless.â
Catherine smiled at him. âWe can treat the people who are good to us well, but thereâs no need to be merciful to ungrateful people.â
âYouâre right.â
Seeing how she looked, Joel once again lamented at how much she had changed. However, that was understandable. She had suffered so much, and as her father, he should become like her too.
Half an hour later, Logan dragged a dying Walter out.
âHave you thought about it? Iâve checked your bank account. Since two years ago, your account has increased by an extra 10 million every year. Not only that but before that, your account has always had an additional 100 thousand, and then 200 thousand, and then 300 thousand⦠The number gets bigger and bigger. If I were to guess, Iâd say youâve been embezzling funds, but someone found out and threatened you to poison my dad. Am I correct?â
Catherine bent down and grinned at him.
âY-yes.â Walter looked at her like she was the devil. âIt was Nicola Wicks. She didnât expect President Yule to survive the car accident, so she told me to put slow-acting poison in his meals. As long as President Yule was dead, Ms⦠Ms. Yule could take over Yule Corporation justifiably.â
âThat b*tch. That ruthless woman.â
Joelâs body trembled in anger. âIâve lived for decades and seen many vicious people, but Iâve never seen someone as vicious as her.â
âDad, youâre so naive.â Catherine shook her head calmly and looked at Walter, saying, âI have a job for you. Meet with Nicola in private and get the evidence that she told you to poison him.â
