Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1523
The news caused great commotion across Australia.
When the market opened at noon, Hill Corporation’s stock plummeted 20 points.
Catherine could not imagine how tumultuous Hill Corporation was right now.
She tried to call Shaun, but he did not pick it up. Hence, she called Hadley. That was when she learned Shaun had
been arrested by the authorities for investigation.
“Miss Jones, Young Master Hill asked you not to come to our office for the time being. Our office is currently flooded
with reporters, as well as a group of business partners, who are kicking up a fuss, ” Hadley said helplessly.
“What on earth is wrong with the product?” Catherine asked anxiously.
“Actually, there is nothing wrong with it. It is merely a pretense used to make Hill Corporation’s stock prices fall so
that it would collapse.” Hadley explained gloomily, “You can ask Young Master Hill
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfor further details.”
Catherine was not in the mood to ponder over it, so she headed back to the Hill family’s manor early.
Only at 7:00 p.m. did she receive news about Shaun’s return.
She rushed to the main hall and discovered that Old Master Hill, Old Madam Hill, and Lea, who was just discharged
from the hospital, had come to the manor. Even Brennan, who originally planned to leave the country, was here.
“Hadley told me that you were pulled in for investigation. Are you alright?” Catherine walked up to Shaun and held
his hands.
“ I’ m alright. They just kept trying to probe me.” Shaun pulled Catherine over and seated her beside him. His
handsome face looked calm. “But I’m not the sort who can be easily bullied.”
“Don’t deceive me. They’re already trying to destroy Hill Corporation with devious means, ” Catherine said
indignantly.
Not only was Catherine indignant, but Old Master Hill was also simmering with rage. “How shameless of them. Hill
Corporation has been established for over 1oo years. It has been propelling Australia’s economy and has created
numerous job opportunities for the country. If we fell because we couldn’t compete with other businesses, I’d
surrender. But clearly, this oppression is unreasonable.”
Lea was disappointed as well. “I heard those shareholders are thinking of pulling out, probably because they’ve
received some news. If this is exposed, the company’s stock will crash. Then, we’ll be required to restructure the
company, and the Hill family might be kicked out.”
Brennan’s grim eyes settled on Shaun. “The mastermind behind the incident is quite powerful. I know you’re only
planning to act after Nathan is appointed as the prime minister, but there’s still half a month to go. I’m sure the
other party will go all out to defeat you within this period. Hill Corporation has just acquired Campos Corporation, so
funds are limited. You won’t be able to get through this half a month…”
Lea gazed at Shaun and opened her mouth. In the end, she chose to keep quiet.
Nevertheless, everyone else knew what she wanted to say, so Catherine took the initiative to speak up,“ Uncle
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrennan, what about getting Garson Corporation to lend us a hand? The mastermind might not know Shaun’s and
your identities.”
“No way.” Shaun shook his head firmly. “At this point, we don’t even know how powerful the mastermind is. Plus,
they aren’t aware of my connection with Garson Corporation. What if it’s exposed? They’ll be able to deal with
Garson Corporation. In case you don’t know, Hill Corporation and Garson Corporation are the top companies in the
world. Since the other party can deal with Hill Corporation, it is only a matter of time before they do the same to
Garson.”
Brennan nodded. “This is also why I haven’t acted against them yet. Essentially, I haven’t gotten a grasp of the
other party’s background. If we still fail to overcome them after banding together, Garson can be Shaun’s way out
in the future.”
Catherine’s head slightly hurt.
At last, Old Master Hill looked at Brennan helplessly and imploringly. “Your decision is right. If Hill Corporation turns
out to be dead in the water, please… take Shaun’s kids back to Country Y. Brennan. We’ve owed you too much.
Garson Corporation shouldn’t be dragged into this mess.”
Brennan did not say a word, signifying his acknowledgment of Old Master Hill’s words.
