Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 94 Jeffery frowned. His lips parted slightly but no words came out in the end.

20 minutes later.
Restroom.
Aunty Helen cautiously stepped toward Rebecca. She looked rather uneasy.
âFirst Young Lady, will President Jones and Madam suspect me for what happened at the ceremony today? Iâm innocent. It was you who asked me to make the false accusation.â
âItâs fine. Iâve already dismissed the idea from their minds.â Rebeca retrieved a credit card from her purse and gave it to the woman. âThis is your compensation. Keep your lips tight. I donât want anyone to know about what happened today.â
Aunty Helenâs eyes sparkled. She quickly received the gift and nodded constantly. âHappy to be at your service.â
âOne more thingâ¦â The corners of Rebeccaâs lips twitched into an evil grin. âYou must take good care of my grandmother. I donât want to see her condition improving at all.â
This took Aunty Helen by shock. A shudder passed through her as she looked at the young lady.
However, she nodded without hesitation after thinking of the compensation. âNo problem. Oh right, I didnât get the chance to congratulate you on your engagement.â
âItâs not the wedding yet.â A nonchalant expression washed over Rebeccaâs face. She would not be foolish enough to actually marry Ethan if he lost the right to take over the Lowe Company.

The following morning. 7 a.m.
Catherine was still sleeping lazily.
She felt like a whole new person ever since moving out and not having to prepare breakfast for Shaun every morning.
Her phone rang out of the blue.
Builder Johnâs anxious voice sounded from the phone the second she answered the call.
âDesigner Jones, something bad has happened. Iâve just arrived at the site to see the tap was left on all night at the villa. The whole interior of the house is flooded.â
She leaped out of bed at once. âDonât worry. Iâll be there soon.â
Soon, she arrived at the building site. The water was flowing from inside the villa out to the exterior steps. The newly laid water and electricity pipes were completely flooded.
Flustered, Builder John was shaking after seeing her.
âItâs all gone. Iâve inspected the water and electricity pipes. Theyâre all damaged from being soaked in the water all night.
âWhat should we do, Designer Jones? President Lyons will definitely look into this and I canât afford to pay for the damages. Iâm certain I shut all the switches before I left last night.â
She tried to calm the man. âI trust you.â
Evidently, this was no accident.
The installation of water and electricity pipelines was due to complete in two daysâ time. The money lost was no big deal, but she feared if the walls sank and if the water had seeped through the foundation, then the project would be delayed. Most importantly, this would ruin Talton Designâs reputation.
Talton Design had only recently established a footing in Melbourne. An incident like this could cost it to collapse entirely.
She, who was the head project manager, would naturally become the scapegoat. Perhaps even close connections would not dare to hire her again in the future.
The person behind this scheme was treacherous.
She was just thinking about this when a luxurious car drove past the gate.
Then, Wesley, Sonya, and Elder Lyons stepped out of the car one after another.
âDad, this is Wesleyâs new house. Itâs your first time here, so you should take your time to look around,â
Sonya said as she helped the old man out of the car.
âDad, I already said that weâve just installed the water and electricity pipes. Thereâs nothing interesting to see just yet,â Wesley, who stepped out of the driver seat, said helplessly.
