Chapter 311
Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 311
Joel was not a fool. Upon realizing what had happened, he red at Nic.
Nic was shocked. “What do you mean, Catherine? I heard with my own ears the Hill family’s servant
im that you secretly went to the hot spring. I thought you were nning on seducing Willie. Given
Willie’s wickedness, I was worried about you so I hurried there…”
“Yeah, you hurried there. If you had happened to see me in disheveled clothes and Willie pressed
against me, my reputation would have been damaged. The Hill family would surely consider me
indecent, so how would they possibly agree to let Willie marry me?”
Catherine sighed in a light-hearted manner. “Aunty Nic, if you were really concerned about me, you
would’ve gone to the hot spring alone in secret and not bring the whole family there. You should’ve felt
more relieved that you couldn’t find me rather than expose it by kicking up a fuss.”
She expressed every sentence in a clear and orderly manner. Even if Joel was a fool, he would be under
no illusions that it had something to do with Nic.
“Nic, you’re really wicked.” Joel trembled with anger. “Why are you holding a grudge against a young
lady like her? Not only do you and Mnie always target her at home, but you also had the thought of
ruining her in the Hill household.”
Catherine frowned. “Dad, couldn’t you tell that even the chef had purposely targeted me during dinner?”
“Oh right, I almost forgot about it.” When Joel recalled the incident, his resentment toward Nic almost
reached the peak. “I remember you telling me that you’re on friendly terms with Valerie, right? I saw both
of you hanging out together all day today…”
“Dad, she’s trying to tear us apart. Don’t be tricked by her,” Mnie said anxiously.
“Shut your mouth,” Joel thundered, “Look at how your mom has raised you! You and your mom are both
vicious women.”
Mnie was dazed, whereas Nic flew into a rage. “Joel, you keep protecting her since she returned. I
think you still have feelings for Sheryl, that b*tch—”
Before Nic could finish her sentence, Joel pped her in the face straight away. “Nic, you don’t
even show remorse for your mistakes. Marrying you is my biggest regret in life.”
“How dare you p me, Joel?!” Nic’s face expressed incredulity while she covered the part of her face
that hurt. Tears rolled down her cheeks. “Come, Mnie. Let’s go to your granny’s house.”
Once Nic finished speaking, she dragged Mnie and walked out.
“Dad, you’re biased. Ever since Catherine came, you don’t care about us anymore.” Mnie wept while
leaving with Nic.
Joel sat on the couch with a deathly pale face. Catherine then whispered, “Sorry, Dad. I actually didn’t
want to tell you, but tonight they—”
“It’s not your fault. I’m useless. I failed to protect you.” Joel seemed to recall something. With a painful
look, he made a decision. “I’ll find a way to divorce her.”
Catherine was momentarily stunned, but she kept quiet. There had been a bitter conflict in business
between the Yule family and the Wicks family. She reckoned that no one in the Yule family would
approve of this idea.
…
Sobbing, Nic went back to the Wicks household with Mnie.
Her biological brother, Fergus Wicks, lost his temper as soon as he noticed the wound on Nic’s face.
“Sister, I’ll deal with Catherine. I’ve been harboring a grudge against her because of thend anyway.”
Upon hearing his words, Nic was relieved. Her brother had always been a ruthless character. He had
connections with quite a lot of ruthless people.
It would be all too easy for him to deal with Catherine.
…
Two days after Nic and Mnie left, Catherine started leading afortable life.
After finishing her breakfast, she drove to the office. When the car was traveling on a meandering
mountain road, she suddenly encountered a sharp turn. She tried to hit the brakes, only to discover that
the brakes were not working.
The car had been tampered with!Property ? N?velDrama.Org.
