Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 366
As soon as the bandage was done, the door was violently kicked open.
Rodney dashed in. When he caught sight of Shaun’s injuries on his hand, he then said in a huff, “Are you okay, Shaun? To end up in this state all for the sake of a woman?”
“This is my private affair,” Shaun said indifferently.
“I treat you as my brother,” Rodney said out of annoyance. “Look what Liam has done. He was the one who added fuel to the fire on the Internet and triggered everyone in Australia to criticize you. Even those influential families who used to hold you in awe and respect are shunning you as if you’re a plague. Are you really fine with everyone favoring Liam now?”
Chester laughed. “Rodney, you’re overreacting. Does Shaun seem like the sort who’s easily defeated?”
“But…”
“It’s not easy for Liam to take over Hill Corporation.” Chester shifted his eyes to Shaun.
Shaun smiled. “You know me best.”
Rodney became glum. “Fine. I’m a busybody. You even punched me on the yacht the other day.”
“Serves you right…” Shaun replied nonchalantly.
Rodney was at a loss for words.
Motherf*cker. He was really pissed off.
“Alright. Forget about the unhappy matters. Rodney flew here from Melbourne when he learned that something happened to you. Let’s get together tonight.”
Shaun kept an impassive face. “What’s the point of him coming here? To help me?”
“To drink with you.” Chester showed a pearly-teeth smile. “Drinking can drown one’s sorrows.”
“…”

Nicola gnashed her teeth. “No doubt, I’ll send her to hell to meet Sheryl. Anyway, what matters most at the moment is to get you a better…”
“Mom, I only like Eldest Young Master,” Melanie replied amid her sobs.
“Shut up,” Nicola said in a fit of fury. “Why are you still thinking about him even though he humiliated you? Think properly. But I won’t let him off the hook since he humiliated us this time.”
“Mom, what’s your plan? He’s the Eldest Young Master. We can’t afford to provoke him…”
Nicola said coldly, “You’re overthinking it. Eldest Young Master is no longer as influential as he previously was. Soon, he’ll be boycotted by all the noble families in Canberra, and his future will be at stake.”
Melanie was dazed. “Mom, I don’t know what you’re saying. Why would the noble families boycott him…?”
“You’ll find out about it very shortly. The Hill family feels sorry for you, so they’ve personally promised to arrange a marriage for you. It’s Charlie Campos from the Campos family.”
Fergus was both surprised and delighted. “Liam is the president of Hill Corporation. What’s more, Charlie is Liam’s cousin as well as Lea’s nephew, so he’s bound to have a bright future. Furthermore, the Campos family’s condition is comparable to the Yule family’s.”
