Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
As soon as Tracy finished speaking, she wore her cap and sunglasses. She seemingly transformed
into a different person.
“Tracy.” Catherine leaped to her feet with clenched fists. “ I’ll investigate the matter. If Ethan’s death
was an intentional act, I’ll certainly not let the killer off the hook.”
“Thank you. I hope you’ll fulfill Ethan’s last words and not let him down. ” Tracy turned around and
smiled sadly before she walked away.
Catherine sat in the private room for a long time.
The weather was warm, yet she felt chilly to the core.
Tracy’s presumption actually made sense. What if Ethan’s death was not an accident?
Ethan left Wesley’s office to look for her. Why had he been looking for her?
Why did he not struggle to escape or ask for help after the crash? Instead, he planned to send her a
message to warn her. This indicated that the contents of the message must be of crucial importance.
However, the car began to catch fire before he could send it.
He tried his best to toss his phone out with the intention of delivering the message even in his last
moments.
In the end, he did not finish typing the message. Did he mean Wesley Lyons or someone else from the
Lyons family?
Wesley and the Lyons family shared the same last name, after all.
Ethan had been working for Wesley, so he might have discovered a secret that involved Wesley or the
Lyons family. He wanted to let Catherine know, but in the end… he was killed.
It might have been an accident or an intentional act.
If it was the former, it would be an extraordinary coincidence. If it was the latter, that would be…
terrifying.
Anyway, given that Ethan was Sonya’s son, he was also part of the Lyons family.
Catherine took a long, deep breath. She told herself to calm down.
She must find out the truth to take revenge on Ethan’s behalf. After all, she was associated with his
death.
When she returned to Wesley’s villa, she found it gloomy like a cemetery.
She could not help but recall Shaun’s words.
Did she know Wesley well? Lea and Mason had known each other since college. Only after 3o years
did she see Mason’s true colors. On the other hand, Catherine had only known Wesley for four years.
They were not the sort who spent a lot of time together either.
At 10:00 p.m., Wesley came home feeling exhausted. These few days, she often saw him looking
depressed because of Ethan’s death. His usually tidy appearance had been replaced with an unshaven
look, which made him appear more disheartened.
“Cathy, why are you still awake?” Wesley was surprised to see her on the living room couch. Normally,
she was in the bedroom at this hour.
“I couldn’t fall asleep.” Catherine opened her eyes, feigning lethargy. However, her eyes were subtly
fixed on him.
She noticed that he had changed his shirt after leaving the house this morning.
When she reflected on it, it seemed that he had done this a few times previously. Nevertheless, she did
not think too much into it.
Wesley rubbed his brows. “I’m sorry for not accompanying you these few days. Ethan’s death was too
sudden. There are a lot of matters in the company that I have to handle.”
“It’s alright.” Catherine asked, “How’s the investigation into Ethan’s accident going? Has the car factory
admitted to it?”
“Based on the data that the police received, it was the car that was faulty. The factory is planning to
settle the issue privately by offering compensation. After all, Ethan’s parents are still around. It depends
on their decision.”
Wesley said in a helpless tone, “Having said that, my brother-in-law doesn’t really care about Ethan. I
think he took the money and settled it privately.”
“What a pity, ” Catherine said despondently, “ These few days, I keep wondering why Ethan didn’t seize
the opportunity to escape after the crash. If he had escaped from the car, he wouldn’t have burned to
death.”
