Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
Shaun was astonished.
He did not expect Mason to have been plotting and scheming since more than 20 years ago. “Why must
he hunt you down? Didn’t my mom agree to be with him willingly?”
“Because I disrupted his plans.”
Brennan said complicatedly, “More than 30 years ago, Lea, Mason, and I were in the same school.
Your mom was the belle of the school back then. She was the goddess in every guys’ heart while I was
only a university student from a family with a middle-class income. I got to know your mom because we
both joined the student council.
However, Mason’s family’s financial situation was slightly better than mine. During a party, Mason spiked
your mom’s wine…”
Shaun’s brows furrowed. “But mom always said that it was you who used despicable methods that
time…”
“I never thought of taking advantage of your mother’s status at all, okay?”
Brennan said coldly, “It was Mason’s scheme, but I accidentally drank that glass of wine, and Mason was
held up by someone else at that moment as well. After that, we had you, and the Hill family made me
marry into the family.”
Shaun frowned.
He knew about the marriage that happened afterward.
Although Brennan’s family was not financially well- off at that time, he was the scholar of the college
entrance examination that year. After enrolling in university, his results were the top of the class, and he
won many grand awards. Since his reputation was not bad, the Hill family agreed to their marriage.
“So you disrupted Mason’s plans?”
“Mm.”
Brennan nodded. “Mason was supposed to marry into the Hill family. However, it got disrupted because
of me. He sincerely loved Lea at that time, so he hated me very much. And although Lea and I got into
some fights after we were married, we wouldn’t have divorced if it weren’t for Mason’s continuous
interventions. What I couldn’t tolerate the most was that Lea got pregnant with Mason’s child within a
short time.”
“What happened when you were overseas?” Shaun continued asking.
At the mention of that, a bone -deep hatred flashed across Brennan’s eyes. “I got this scar from that time.
Half of my face was nearly destroyed, but what I resented the most was that your granny stopped those
people with her life to save me. In the end… she died.”
After Brennan spoke, he lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and took a long drag on it.
Shaun clenched his fists in disbelief.
He could not remember Granny Lowe’s appearance from his younger days because he was at the Hill
family most of the time. His only impression of her was that she was a loving grandmother.
Little did he know that she was killed by Mason.
It turned out that he already had a deep grudge with the Campos family a long time ago.
Brennan continued saying, “After that, in order to avoid Mason’s chase on me, I didn’t dare to use my
passport. I lived like a beggar every day. I slept in an alley and ate other people’s rancid rice. Sometimes,
I did illegal work for others, and I was even deprived of my salary. I was a top student, yet I lived a life of
pure misery.”
Shaun’s throat gulped painfully.
He always thought Brennan had abandoned him and was living comfortably overseas.
“Did Mason take it that far back then?”
“Yes. The most hateful thing was that Mason was too good at disguising himself. Almost the whole of
Australia took him as a soft-spoken gentleman, and that Lea and art were the love of his life.”
Brennan laughed sarcastically. “In other people’s eyes, I’m just a shameless man who would do anything
to take advantage of your mom. No matter how I explained it to Lea, she kept thinking that I was trying to
provoke and ruin her relationship with Mason. No one believed me.”
“Dad, I’m sorry…”
