Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 233
Everyone began to talk about it.
“It’s Ethan from Lowe Corporation. How generous of him.”
“I heard that he’s in a rtionship with the youngdy from the affluent Steele household.”
“I see. The Steele family is quite popr in Melbourne. Looks like he’ll be aLet me go, Mr. Hill [by

Several women who were married to wealthy businessmen soon surrounded Catherine and buttered her
up.
“Chairwoman Jones, where did you buy this gown? It’s beautiful!”
“The ne you’re wearing is from Tiffany and it’s the newest design, right?”
“…”
“Good evening, everyone.”
All of a sudden, J held a ss of red wine and walked over to Catherine with ill intentions. “Ah,
Chairwoman Jones, I didn’t expect that you’d have the leisure to participate in the auction. Hang on, I’m
not sure if I should still call you Chairwoman Jones now.”
“What do you mean, Miss Campbell?” one of the women, Madam rk, asked in a huff.
J sighed. “Perhaps all of you aren’t aware of what happened. I heard that Chairwoman Jones beat
up Willie, who came from Canberra, during Hudson’s anniversary celebrationst night.”
“What? Are you referring to that Willie from the Hill family?”
“Yeah, it’s him.” J nodded. “My friend told me that Chairwoman Jones caused Young Master Hill’s
face to be swollen, and Young Master Hill got mad. That was very impulsive of you, Chairwoman
Jones. How could people like us possibly provoke the Hill family? Hopefully, you’re still safe and sound
the next time I see you.”
All the women gasped and retreated one by one.
“Hey, my husband is calling me.”
“It’s been a while since west met, Madam Wolfe.”
Shortly afterward, the bunch of women gave excuses and left the spot promptly.
The incident was no joke. Now that Catherine had offended the Hill family, she was doomed to death. It
would be pointless to fawn over her.
Without bothering to rify the matter, Catherine stared at J as if she was mentally disabled. Given
that she was on friendly terms with Reba, why had Reba not told her the truth?
“You must be panicking, right? You probably didn’t expect that you’ll lose the position of chairwoman
when you’ve just begun to enjoy it.” J smiledcently and then turned to look at the handsome
Shaun. “Mr. Hill, I advise you to stay away from her so that you won’t be dragged into this mess.”
Shaun raised his eyebrows indifferentlyThis content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
J assumed that her words had aroused his interest, so she immediately said, “Willie’s great assistant
is a rtive of mine. If youe and ask me for help, I’ll certainly lend you a hand.”
Somehow, Catherine felt like giggling. Even Willie was terrified of Shaun. Clearly, a poor assistant would
mean nothing to him.
“Shaunny, just ignore her. Let’s grab a seat.” She walked forward while holding Shaun’s arm. At that
point, she continued to hide the truth from J.
Watching them leave, J scoffed behind them. She might becent at the moment, but what
would happen next would leave her cryingter.
Once they were seated, Shaun nced at the woman beside him in a lighthearted manner. “Why didn’t
you rify it just now? Does it have something to do with your im about there being a good show?”
“You understand me so well, Shaunny.” Catherine grinned.
Shaun noticed that ever since Catherine became the chairwoman, she was more skilled at ying tricks
on others. Having said that, it was not a bad thing at all. She had to be meaner and crueler to qualify as
his wife in the future.
The auctionmenced very shortly after.
In fact, tonight’s auction was a disguised fundraising event. Catherine raised her bid card for two
paintings worth several million dors.
Thest item was ‘The Queen’s Ne’.
It was a glittery ne with a shiny ruby diamond pendant sitting on top of the ck satin. The
ne was exquisitely designed. Even the chain was embellished with tiny diamonds, which
resembled an array of stars.
All the women were astonished at the sight of the ne, and it had also caught Catherine’s eye.
Shaun nced at Catherine with a deep gaze.
At this moment, the host introduced enthusiastically, “Now is the most spectacr moment. In the past,
the former king of Country F found the most brilliant designer to design the ne, and it took him two
years toplete it. This masterpiece contains 383.4 carats of diamonds. Rumor has it that if one gives
The Queen’s Ne to his beloved woman, the two of them will be together forever.”
“This is the ne that every woman dreams of. The starting bid for this item tonight is 1.6 billion
dors.”
The astronomical price caused an uproar in the hall.
Nevertheless, someone soon shouted, “1.7 billion.”
Curious, Catherine looked in that direction, only to discover that it was Ethan. ble to turn things around.”
“Exactly. But the current chairwoman of Hudson, Catherine, is his ex-girlfriend.”
“Catherine’s boyfriend isn’t taking action at the moment. I guess he can’t bear to buy this expensive
ne for his girlfriend.”
Absorbed in the spectacle, everyone suddenly shifted their gazes to Catherine.
Little did Catherine expect that she would be involved in the discussion. She quickly held Shaun and said
with a low voice, “Don’t bother about what others say. Comments are just like ornaments. Basically,
they’re of no use except for drawing admiration from others. They’re like second-hand items which are
not worth spending on.”
Shaun gazed at her seriously. He actually noticed her fascination for The Queen’s Ne through her
eyes. He thought that she would ask him to buy it for her, considering that she had found out about his
identity. Against all his expectations, her reaction came as a surprise.
It was no wonder that they said a woman would help save a man’s money if she was truly in love with
him.
He curved his mouth into a charming smile. He raised his bid paddle and said in a manly, arrogant tone,
“2.5 billion.”
“…”
Dazed, Catherine felt as if her head was about to explode. “Are you out of your mind? I told you not to
bid for it.”
“2.6 billion.” J, who was nearby, suddenly raised her bid paddle.
Catherine gripped Shaun’s hand. “Stop raising your paddle. She definitely can’t afford it. She’s just
driving up the price on purpose.”
Shaun could not be bothered about her. He used another hand to raise his paddle. “Three billion.”
The hall was in an uproar.
With 2.3 billion dors being his limit, Ethan red at Shaun intently. How cruel Shaun was! Ethan
clenched his fists with dissatisfaction as not only did he fail to win Shaun’s lover, but he had failed to win
the ne as well.
Tracy, who was beside Ethan, sighed. “Fine, enough of it. A ne worth three billion is a bit of a
stretch.”
“Yeah.” Ethan looked downward, suppressing his pain deep down.
Again, J raised her hand. Shaun gave her a strange gaze all of a sudden. “You can raise your hand,
but I won’t bid for it anymore. Think carefully whether there’s enough money in your pocket.”
J’s arm froze, and she hesitated at once. Indeed, she was just trying to drive up the price.
Stephen swiftly took away her paddle and warned her angrily, “Don’t be f*cking crazy. If you really spend
several billion dors on the ne, believe me, I’m going to p you to death.”
Petrified, J kept her mouth shut.
Nevertheless, she was indeed jealous at the thought of someone’s readiness to spend several billion
dors on a ne for Catherine. “Brother, why is Shaun so rich that he can easily spend several
billion dors? Could it be that he’s from the Hill family in Canberra…”
“Shut up. That’s impossible.” Stephen did not buy it at all.
“I’ve never heard of that. Unlike him, we need arge amount of money for thepany’s cash flow. I
reckon he’s using up his earnings to buy the ne. Perhaps he’s under the impression that
Catherine’s position as the chairwoman of Hudson has been consolidated and that her worth will be
worth several hundred billion. As such, he’s trying to touch and capture her heart with merely several
billion dors. Unfortunately, he fails to realize that Catherine’s going to lose the position in no time.”
It finally dawned on J, but she remained annoyed. “Brother, didn’t she offend Willie yesterday? Why
hasn’t he taught her a lesson?”
Stephen was stunned. When he recalled not being able to reach Willie’s assistant today, he suddenly
had a sinking feeling.
Soon, he felt that he was just overthinking. “I heard Young Master Hill wasn’t feeling wellst night, so he
probably hasn’t recovered.”
“It’s all Catherine’s doing. She’ll be dead for sure.” J gave a smug smile.
