Let Me Go, Mr. Hill novel Chapter 369

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 369
This was the first time recently that Catherine was calling Shaun of her own accord.

After a long time, the call finally connected. However, it was Rodney’s angry voice that sounded. “Catherine, you’re such a troublemaker. You left Shaun in dire straits.”

“Where’s he?” Catherine’s heart sank.

“The top nine influential families are looking into the matter. Shaun has been arrested for investigation,” Rodney said in a huff. “If it hadn’t been for you, Shaun wouldn’t have ended in this state!”

“Who are you to criticize me? If you hadn’t kidnapped me that night, that video wouldn’t have existed!” Catherine refuted in a fit of fury. “The yacht belongs to you, so now that the video has been released, you bear as much of the responsibility too!”

Rodney was so angry that he was momentarily lost for words. “Those influential figures want to leave Shaun high and dry. Things are not as simple as it seems.”

Catherine hung up straight away and wanted to call Hadley to find out about the situation.

Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks came from downstairs.

She put on her clothes and walked out. The housekeeper of the Hill family’s manor came in with a bunch of bodyguards. “Miss Jones, please go to the manor with us.”

Aunty Yasmine immediately said, “Mr. Townsend, can’t you wait for Eldest Young Master to return…”

“Eldest Young Master has been taken to the judicial department for investigation.” The housekeeper’s face was cold. “The incident stems from her, so I have to take her away tonight.”

“It’s okay, Aunty Yasmine. I’ll leave with him.”

Catherine walked down the stairs. She had long since expected that the Hill family would look for her. It was just a matter of time.

…

An hour later.

The Hill family’s manor was well lit.

It was Catherine’s second time visiting the manor. When she entered, everyone in the Hill family was present, and all of them were staring at her with disgust and resentment.

“You care for Brother the most, Granny. You’ll definitely help him.” Liam smiled.

“Help?” Old Madam Hill shot a glance at Catherine. “He really let me down this time. Tell me, what tactic did you use to bewitch Shaun? You’re quite clever. When you came here last time, I spotted you flirting with him. You really do treat all of us as fools.”

“Mom, this woman is manipulative,” Valerie said with disdain. “She seduces Liam when she’s in a relationship with Shaun. I heard she has a fiancé. She’s just making a fool out of us.”

“Yeah. Didn’t you say that you have a fiancé?” Old Madam Hill was even more disgusted by her. “How can you become the other woman when you have a fiancé? Are you so desperate for a man? Shame on you!”

Catherine’s eyes riveted on the floor. She continued to stay silent as she did not have the faintest idea what to say.

It would be pointless to refute their claims anyway.

A bodyguard violently kicked Catherine on the knees, and she kneeled down in pain.

Lea said indifferently, “Say something. Since you had the nerve to do it, why don’t you dare explain?”
