Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
“Yeah,” Freya said, “Your mommy is amazing now, but your scumbag dad is very ruthless.”
The two children lowered their heads, both momentarily silent.
…
The next day.
Catherine got up early and made a hearty breakfast for her little darlings.
“Sweeties, Mommy has taken the day off. I’ll bring you to the playground today, okay?” Catherine said
gently.
“Okay.” Suzie became happy. “I wanna eat cotton candy.”
“As you wish.”
Just then, Freya came out of the guest room wearing a plaid dress with a beige coat. She wore light
makeup on her face, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. She had on a pair of high heels.”
“Little darlings, do I look pretty?” Freya twirled.
Suzie clapped her hands. “You’re pretty. You’re so pretty I could die.”
“What a sweet girl. I’ll reward you with chocolate.” Freya tossed a piece of chocolate over.
Catherine’s expression darkened. “Aren’t you just attending a forum held by SE Group? If I didn’t know
any better, I’d have thought that you were entering a beauty pageant.”
“What do you know? Today’s event will attract the attention of beauty brands all around the world. Even
Osher Corporation’s Rodney Snow is no exception. I’ve waited for this moment for far too long. He drove
me away before, but hah! I can’t wait to see his miserable and regretful eyes now,” Freya said with her
head held high.
“Fine, hurry up and eat. Leave when you’re done.”
Catherine said as she held back a laugh.
…
In Snow Manor.
After the maid served breakfast, the assistant handed him an itinerary and said, “President Snow, the
internationally renowned cosmetic chemist, Garan, will be speaking on stage for SE Group’s forum at
10:00 this morning. Would you like to go? SE Group has sent an invitation.”
Rodney frowned and snorted. “That b*stard, President Hatch, is clearly showing off in front of me.”
“Yes.” The assistant sighed. “However, Garan is really strange. We’ve invited her to come to Australia so
many times but she has always refused. I thought that she didn’t like Australia, but I didn’t expect her to
suddenly agree to come when SE Group, our rival, invited her. Osher Corporation is one level higher
than SE in both status and brand level. Smart people would choose to cooperate with us instead.”
Rodney crossed his arms in deep thought. “Has Garan signed a cooperation contract with SE?”
“No, but it’s said that Garan came to Australia this time to sign a contract with SE. I heard that she has
an anti-wrinkle and firming formula in her hands. It’d be troublesome if they’re bought by SE. After all, the
products developed by Garan these years have become popular products all over the world with up to
80% of consumers coming back to buy the products again.”
At the mention of that, Rodney felt annoyed. “The chemists in our company are all useless. We invest so
much money in them every year, but they’ve never made anything satisfactory.”
The assistant pursed his lips and said, “The director of the R&D Department always talks about Freya
Lynch, the woman from three years ago. She was quite talented, but it’s a pity that she didn’t succeed in
developing the product—”
“Shut up.” Rodney looked over coldly. “Except for her beauty, Freya Lynch is just a woman who’s
useless. There’s nothing worth mentioning about her. Cosmetic chemists like her can be found all over
the country. I don’t like her.”
“…”
The assistant blinked and was surprised to find that President Snow would find another woman besides
Sarah Neeson beautiful.
“That’s right. Freya Lynch is definitely not on the same level as Garan.” The assistant nodded in
agreement.
“No matter what, we can’t let Garan cooperate with SE Group.” Rodney suddenly got up. “Give me the
invitation. I’ll go to the forum held by SE and meet Garan. If I go personally, she’ll definitely have to show
me some respect.”
