Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
Thomas should not have held on to those grudges even if he really despised Boris. That man was dead
now, after all.
Shaun’s handsome face gradually became overcast. He looked at Sarah indifferently. He was not
bothered about Thomas as that man was an infamous prick, but he definitely did not expect Sarah to lie
to cover up for her brother. He had almost misunderstood the situation.
“Shaunic, can I apologize to them on behalf of my brother?” Sarah was flustered but quickly regained her
composure, forcing out a smile. “Thomas has always been like this. I’ve told him many times that
nothing’s going to happen between us two but he just wouldn’t listen. There’s nothing much I can do
about that. Besides, I didn’t participate in the argument from the beginning but I was humiliated in the
end.”
“Sarah, you don’t have to apologize since you weren’t the one cursing others. It was all Thomas.”
Rodney could not resist comforting her. “Moreover, Freya is in the wrong for calling you names too.”
Freya laughed sarcastically. “What a great apology, Miss Neeson. If Cathy hadn’t recorded the
conversation, perhaps the words you said earlier would make others assume that it was Cathy and me
who initiated the argument. On the contrary, Thomas would have been cleared of all responsibilities. All
these would then lead to Cathy and Eldest Young Master Hill quarreling again.”
Shaun’s brows furrowed. Sarah lifted her head, looking all innocent. “Sorry, I didn’t think about that. I’ll be
more careful next time.”
“No need for next time! Freya Lynch, when will you stop?” Rodney could not hear more of this.
“Enough,” Shaun warned before looking at Thomas. “It seems like there’s been a huge misunderstanding
because I helped you out a few times. I had no idea about the massive project you secured yesterday.
Perhaps they thought we were close or something and thus tried to curry favors with me by pleasing you.
I’ll give the word later to cancel the collaboration.”
Shocked, Thomas quickly tried to save the situation. “Eldest Young Master Hill, I’m sorry. It was my fault
for saying the wrong things. Please don’t cancel the collaboration. I beg you.”
Freya scoffed. “Indeed, you’ve said many wrong things. Last time in the pub, you even said that Eldest
Young Master Hill wouldn’t do anything to you even if you forcefully slept with Cathy.”
Thomas’ legs were shaking at this point. He almost fell kneeling to the ground.
“Did he say that to you?” Shaun narrowed his eyes and turned to face Catherine.
She twitched her lips. “Would you believe me if I said yes?”
Shaun glared dangerously at the man. He might not be convinced if he had not heard the disrespectful
words Thomas said to Catherine earlier on the recording.
All of a sudden, he could understand why they were always fighting about this man.
As it turned out, his wife had been humiliated by others in this way.
He could feel his blood boiling beneath his skin.
Shaun kicked Thomas in the chest forcefully.
“Thomas!” Sarah appeared flustered. “Quickly apologize to Mrs. Hill and promise that you’ll watch your
words in the future. I won’t keep helping you if you do this again.”
“Sorry, Eldest Young Master Hill. I was wrong.” Thomas immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to
Catherine. “Young Madam, I’ll not be rude to you again.”
“Shaun, I think that’s enough,” Rodney said. He was not bothered about Thomas but he felt bad upon
seeing the worried look on Sarah’s face.
“Remember, I’ll cut off your tongue if this happens again. Besides, I’ll not meddle in the Neeson family’s
affairs anymore. I won’t budge even if you kill someone or set a place on fire.”
After saying that indifferently, Shaun turned around to speak gently to Catherine, “Let’s go. The siblings
can sort out Boris’ funeral. Rodney, the man is Sarah’s birth father no matter what, so give them a hand.
Oh right, get Jennifer Craven’s body and bury them next to each other.”
“Yup, I’ll do that.” Rodney nodded.
Catherine felt relieved upon hearing that and left with Freya.
Although Rodney could be quite dumb at times, he was not a mean or ruthless person. Boris and his wife
should be able to be buried together in peace if he was handling the funerals.
