Let Me Go, Mr. Hill novel Chapter 136

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 136
Although Catherine had been in a relationship with Ethan before and the latter treated her well, the two of them had never shared a bed—not to mention massaging her belly gently when she was on her period.

She really did not expect the domineering Shaun to do something like this. Besides, he was extremely patient. In the end, she was the one embarrassed. “Alright, it doesn’t hurt that much anymore…”

“Keep quiet and go to sleep,” he ordered without stopping his hand.

She dared not comment further. Soon, because the pain had eased, she fell fast asleep.

The next morning at 6 a.m., he stirred in his sleep as she got out of bed to prepare breakfast.

“Where are you going?”

“Continue sleeping. I’m going to make breakfast…”

“You don’t have to do that since you’re not feeling well.” Once again, he pulled her back into his arms. He placed his palm on her stomach again out of instinct.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore.” She tried to stop him.

“Oh.” He closed his eyes again. She sneakily lifted her eyes to study his handsome features. Any woman would not be able to resist a man with his dashing looks, especially when he was being so gentle.

Something seemed to be pounding beneath her chest. Without a word, she silently lowered her head again.

…

The day had finally arrived.

On the day of the trial, Catherine, Shaun, and Hadley showed up at the court together.

Jeffrey sighed before stepping forward. “Young Master Clark, it’s my fault that I’ve not taught my daughter well. I really shouldn’t have assigned such a massive project to her. Don’t worry, Summit will take full responsibility for the damage it cost you this time. I’ll compensate you and promise to use the highest quality materials this time around.”

“I hope you’ll keep to your word. I’ll hire a team of professionals to inspect the progress in the later stage. If something goes wrong again, then it’ll be you who’s sent to prison, President Jones.” Miles could not be bothered to deal with the Joneses anymore. He left with his attorney after saying that.

Jeffrey’s face changed the second Miles took to his leave. “Cathy, you’ve really disappointed me.”

“President Jones, it’s about time to get out of the character you’re playing.” Catherine almost flew off the handle at the sound of that. “James is obviously the person behind this mess. You don’t have to like me but I’m your birth daughter. Am I worth less than a nephew who isn’t even blood-related to you?”

A complicated emotion flashed across his eyes. Sally stepped in immediately. “What nonsense are you talking about? James is innocent. Not only are you ruining Summit’s reputation but you’re also trying to frame your cousin now? How can you be so cruel?”

“Mom, I’m your daughter!” Catherine shouted hysterically. She was only a human no matter how tough she pretended to be. “Do you know that James bribed the inmates inside to take my life?”

“Hey, stop it with the nonsense.” James shouted, “Slandering is a crime. Have you any proof?”
