Chapter 355:

“Did I wake you?” Shaun tucked her under the covers.

“Go to sleep, it’s late.

Let’s talk tomorrow.

”

“How is your grandmother?” Catherine sat up, revealing her silk nightgown.

"It's okay.

He just fainted from rage and he'll be fine after a few days of rest.

"

Shaun stroked her long hair.

Catherine lowered her long eyelashes and spoke in a weak voice: “Shaunny, let me go.

”

Shaunny…

It's been a long time since I called him that.

When the two were in love in the past, she had always sweetly called him that.

Shaun thought for a moment and Catherine got up and knelt on the floor.

She looked at him with tear-filled eyes.

»Let me go and let go, okay? You've seen what happened tonight.

Your family won't let you be with me.

I can't stand this kind of life.

So many people rushed up and pointed at me.

Shaun, I'm a human too.

I'm so tired.

»

She burst into tears as she spoke.

Since childhood, although she couldn't compare to him, she was raised by her grandmother.

She had her dignity and her pride.

She couldn't be the third in a relationship.

She couldn't bear the contempt of others.

However, now everything was ruined.

He came to Canberra, but not only did he fail to avenge Sheryl, he even completely humiliated Sheryl's name.

She just wanted to get back to Melbourne.

She didn't want to continue investigating Sheryl's case.

She was too tired.

What happened today had broken her last line of defense.

Shaun was in a trance.

It was the second time he had knelt before him.

How had the woman who had loved him so much become so humble?

His heart felt like it had been stabbed by thorns and was dripping blood.

“Get up.

”

He reached out to pull her.

"If you don't agree, I won't get up.

"

Catherine looked at him, her eyes seemed dark with no trace of light.

“Catherine Jones, since when did you become like this?!” Shaun shouted angrily at her, “Where’s your confidence? Where’s your pride? Don’t you have any self-respect?”

Catherine laughed miserably.

“Didn’t you personally break all of that with your own hands? In front of you, I have none of that…”

Shaun's body swayed.

She was right in front of him, but at that moment, they seemed to be separated by a great distance.

"I'm not letting you go unless I die!" Shaun turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

He stayed in the studio all night.

…

At 8 in the morning, he left the studio tired.

During breakfast, Hadley came to inform him.

“Old Master and Vice President Hill have gone to the company this morning and greeted the board of directors as well as the company’s senior executives.

Liam Hill will take over as the president of the Hill Corporation starting today.

The reason is… you are not worthy of the position.

”

Shaun slowly swallowed his breakfast, his lips curling sarcastically.

“The Old Master is really angry this time,” Hadley said hesitantly.

Even when Shaun went to Melbourne last time, Liam had been coping with his position as vice president, but now it was clear that Old Master Hill was sending Shaun a slap in the face.

"Let him do what he wants.

"

Shaun grabbed a napkin and wiped his hands.
