Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
Wesley gazed at Catherine affectionately. He said tenderly, “Compared to the company, I’d rather not see
you so upset.”
Catherine was startled.
Although she knew that Wesley loved her, she never thought that he would casually sacrifice his
company’s future for her sake.
“Wesley, I’m not worth it… ” she said in a low voice. She was helpless but sincere.
“Why aren’t you worth it? You’re the director of a company that has a net worth of loo billion dollars,
Joel’s only daughter, and Hazle Group’s head director. You have so many identities. The number o f men
who want to marry you can even form a queue, yet here you are saying that you’re not worth it.” Wesley
smiled. “On the other hand, I think you’re the one who’s out of my league.”
“Stop joking around. Golden Corporation’s ranking has already entered the top 50 megacorporations of
the whole nation. The media always does coverage on you, the young up-and-coming president. Many
daughters of wealthy families want to get married to you…”
“But I don’t want to marry someone whom I don’t love, ” Wesley interrupted her. “To me, I don’t want to
make compromises when it comes to marriage.”
Catherine was at a loss for words.
“I’ll contact Charlie right now…” Wesley stood up.
“Wait. ” Catherine stopped him. She bit her lip. “ I want to look for Shaun and talk it out with him again.”
“Do you think there’s any use talking to him?” Wesley disapproved of the idea. A hint of sadness flashed
across his eyes. “Cathy, are you afraid that you’ll owe me too much? Or do you have uncontrollable
feelings for Shaun again after spending time with him during this period?”
“It’s not that.” Catherine could not bear to hurt him. She denied it straight away, saying, “Wesley, the
situation isn’t that dire to the point that we need to use your company to save Logan. You have t o think
about it. There’ll still be confrontations between me and Shaun in the future. If we play all our cards now,
how will we compete against Liona afterward?”
“But…”
“I have my own ways. I accept your good intentions. At least I know you’re the one who treats me the
best. ” Catherine stood up. “It’s late, I have to go.”
“Cathy… ” Wesley hugged her from behind all of a sudden. His voice was filled with agony. “I don’t care
how things are between you and Shaun right now. I’ll just turn a blind eye to it. If I don’t think about it, I
won’t feel suffocated. But after everything ends, can you promise… to marry me?”
“…Wesley, this is unfair to you.” Catherine felt conflicted. She thought she did not deserve Wesley.
“I understand. In order to let Shaun fall in love with you again, you must’ve… slept with him.” Pain
flashed across Wesley’s eyes, but he still had a smile on his face. “In this time and age, many women
aren’t virgins anymore when they get married. Everyone has a few ex-boyfriends, and some even had
abortions. I’m not that conservative. What I want is your future, not your past.”
“…Okay.”
After a long silence, Catherine finally nodded her head. “As long as you’re willing to marry me, I’ ll get
married to you.”
In this lifetime, she owed a lot to this man who had silently been watching over her. She could no longer
disappoint him.
After leaving Wesley’s residence, Catherine dialed Liam’s number. “One of my men is in Shaun’s hands.
I want to go to Liona tomorrow morning, but I must guarantee that I can get out of there smoothly. I want
to borrow Suzie.”
Liam caught on immediately. “You want to threaten Shaun with Suzie?”
“Mm, Shaun doesn’t know about my relationship with Suzie. I have no other choice.” Catherine smiled
bitterly.
“You’re Suzie’s mother. You’ll surely not hurt her, but Shaun may not think the same,” Liam said
worriedly, “You’ll completely ruin your relationship with Shaun this way. Not only that, he’ll forbid me from
letting you meet Suzie in the future.”
“That’s why I’m in a hurry to meet Logan to clear his name. ” Catherine narrowed her eyes. “Only in this
way will Shaun stop targeting me.”
“Are you sure you can obtain evidence?” Liam was doubtful.
”I can. No plan is ever completely flawless. ”
At 3:00 a.m., she received a call from Austin. ”Miss Jones, I’ve arrived in Canberra.”
