Chapter 272
Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 272
“That’s very understanding of you.” A look of relief crossed Joel’s face.
At the sight of Mnie’s indignant expression, Catherine found it amusing deep down. Little did she
expect that she would be able to put Reba’s hypocritical tactics to good use one day. Anyway,
hypocrisy was quite an effective strategy.
“Dad, although you’ve brought me home, you can’t always take my side and only praise me because you
feel sorry for me. It’ll upset Mnie and destroy our sisterhood as well as family peace. Even though I’ve
decided toe home, I don’t wish to affect your family.”
Joel was extremely touched. Compared to the coquettish and conceited Mnie whom he raised,
Catherine was much more understanding. “Come, let me show you your room. Don’t hesitate to let me
know if you’re not satisfied with it.”
Seeing the two of them enter the manor, Mnie flew into a fit of rage. “Mom, thisdy is such a
scheming b*tch!”
Nic frowned deeply. She had assumed that it would be easy to deal with Catherine since she grew up
in a deprived household.
However, things were not as simple as she had thought. Catherine was not someone to be taken lightly,
just like her mother back then.
Having said that, Nic believed that she could deal with Catherine since she also managed to defeat
her mother back then.
“It’s not a problem. Calm down. Having met all kinds of people in my life, I don’t give a damn about her.”
Nic clutched Mnie. “How’s your preparation for the banquet held by the Hill family tonight?”
At the mention of the asion, Mnie’s eyes glowed with excitement. “I’ve picked an haute-couture
pink gown as well as a ne. I’ve also hired Kayya to apply my makeup for me. Tonight, I’ll surely be
the most morous person at the venue and Elder Young Master Hill will definitely take a fancy to me.”
Nic nodded in satisfaction. “From what I heard, Old Madam Hill said that the banquet is being held
tonight as there hasn’t been much activity in the manor. In fact, she’s trying to find Elder Young Master
Hill a marriage partner. All the unmarrieddies she has invitede from influential families in
Canberra. I heard that Elder Young Master Hill went on vacation earlier and finally returned at the end of
the year. Old Madam Hill said that he must get married this year.”

“Mom, I like Elder Young Master Hill,” Mnie said with a blush, “He’s the most good-looking man I’ve
ever seen. Nobody can beat him.”
“Keep it up. I have faith in you. Once you get into the Hill family, Catherine will be considered nothing.” A
disdainful look came over Nic’s face.
…
In the evening.
Catherine continued to chat with Joel in the living room.
All of a sudden, Joel saw Mnie walking down in a pink gown. He frowned and asked, “Where are you
going?”
“She’s going to attend a banquet held by a friend,” Nic replied coldly.
“Don’te back toote.” Joel did notment further.
Nevertheless, Catherine noticed Mnie’s euphoric expression on her face as well as the joy in Nic’s
eyes. She reckoned that something heartening was going to happen to them.
At night.
A grand banquet was being held in the Hill family’s manor.
The young handsome men and beautifuldies were extravagantly dressed up and dancing on the
dance floor.
Tonight, the most brilliant and affluent families in Canberra were gathered here.
Each of the rich youngdies was going all out to showcase their talents that night. Everyone knew that it
was a banquet on the surface, but it came with the underlying motive of picking ady to be Elder Young
Master Hill’s marriage partner.
Whoever he fell for would get to embark on an easy path to sess.
Sadly, the perfect-looking Elder Young Master Hill had not turned up even at this point.
In the study located on the third floor.
Shaun held a cigarette with his hand while flipping through the document with the other hand. The bright
light on the desk illuminated his handsome face, which revealed a somber expression. It was as though
all the bustle around him had nothing to do with him.
