Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 67 Shaun smirked when he noticed how quickly Catherine got jealous. âChaseâs sister.â
âWhoâs she? Why is she calling you in an intimate manner?â A bitter look crossed Angelaâs face.
Curling her red lips, Catherine said, âHi, Miss Harrison. Iâm his girlfriend. You might not have seen me before, but you shouldâve heard of my name. Iâm Catherine Jones, the most beautiful woman among the elites in Melbourne.â
Shaunâs mouth twitched at her shameless remark.
Angela widened her eyes as she could not believe how shameless the woman was. She then mocked, âHehe. Sorry, I havenât heard about you being the most beautiful woman. However, Iâve heard about the foolish behavior of Catherine Jones from the Jones family in Melbourne recently. You lost to your sister, who came from a rural area, for the right to the Jones familyâs inheritance, and you subsequently got kicked out of the family. I donât believe that Shaun would want to have such a dumb*ss as his girlfriend.â
Catherine felt as if something had pierced through her heart. She was at a loss for words.
âAngie.â Shaunâs eyes darkened. âBehave yourself. Sheâs indeed my girlfriend.â
âHowâs that possible?â Angela turned pale. âShe doesnât even match your noble status.â
Dissatisfied, Catherine replied, âWhy donât I match him? Iâm pretty. When we stand together, we match each other well in appearance. Our future child is definitely going to look attractive.â
Angelaâs mouth twitched in annoyance. She sarcastically said, âPlease. Youâll lower the IQ of your descendants.â
Watching the two women arguing gave Shaun a headache. He then rubbed his forehead. âOkay, Angie.
Iâm going to send my wishes to your grandpa now. Iâll leave you to it.â
Once he finished speaking, he strode toward the main building with Catherine without waiting for Angela to respond.
Puffing out her cheeks, Catherine did not say a word throughout the walk there.
As she had been eating well and sleeping well recently, her cheeks were chubby again. She looked very cute.
Shaun could not help but stretch out his hands to pinch her cheeks. âAngie is still young, and she has been pampered since young. Donât lower yourself to her level.â
Upon hearing that, Catherine became so sulky that she almost felt like vomiting blood. The situation would not have been worse if he had not commented further.
âWhat does it mean? Heâs trying to put in a good word for Angela, huh?â
She chuckled. âDonât worry, I wonât lower myself to Angieâs level.â
Shaun raised his brow. âDoes it mean that youâre not going to lower yourself to her level?â
âSince youâre so close with her, why didnât you think of making her pretend to be your girlfriend? After all, you call her Angie. Iâm just a sitter, someone whoâs not even addressed as Cathy or Rin.â
Shaun replied, ââ¦So itâs all because I called her Angie and donât call you Cathy?â
âOf course not. Am I the petty sort?â Catherine faked a smile.
Shaun felt helpless. âAngela used to play with Chase and me at the back of the manor when we were young. I treat her as a little sister.â
Catherine was stunned. Was he trying to explain to her?
At that instant, they arrived at the main building.
Dressed in a suit, Old Master Harrison waved at Shaun energetically.
âShaunny, you only came to meet me now although youâve been in Melbourne for quite a long time now. How absurd! Are you holding me in contempt because Iâm old?â
âAbsolutely not. Youâre looking younger than ever, Old Master Harrison.â Shaun handed him a birthday gift.
Old Master Harrison turned his gaze to Catherine whom Shaun then introduced. âThis is my girlfriend.â
âAh, you finally got yourself a partner. Thatâs sad. I initially planned to set you up with someone. There are many wonderful women in Melbourne.â Old Master Harrison handed a gift to Catherine. âHereâs a gift for you as weâre meeting for the first time, young lady. Shaunny has suffered a lot in his life. Please take care of him.â
Catherine was flattered. She was not sure whether to accept it. It would not seem good if she rejected it.
âJust accept it since itâs Old Master Harrisonâs gesture for you.â Shaun nodded at her.
As soon as Catherine accepted the gift, Shaun patted her on the back. âWait for me in the lobby.â
He was probably done taking advantage of her, so she nodded knowingly. When she went downstairs, she bumped into Angela again.
âWere you intentionally waiting for me here, Miss Harrison?â
Unsurprisingly, a smirk spread across Angelaâs face.
