Let Me Go Mr Hill novel Chapter 9

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 9
Catherine felt as if someone had punched her in the chest. The intense pain was suffocating, especially when Ethan’s indifferent gaze swept past her without lingering for a second longer.

James hurried toward Rebecca. “HQ has given the order to hand this project over to Rebecca.”

A shudder passed through Catherine before she turned to face the other woman.

“Cathy, don’t get upset.” Rebecca staggered backward as if she was utterly shocked. Fortunately, Ethan had his hand on the small of her back.

This scene only aggravated the situation.

“Rebecca, what more do you want? You’ve already stolen my man and now you’re trying to snatch away the project that I spent so much time and effort on. Are you really that envious of everything I have?”

“How ridiculous! Since when was Young Master Lowe your man?” James scoffed. “You’re quite something, aren’t you? You’ve been pestering Young Master Lowe in the past, but he hasn’t shown any interest in you at all. Besides, do you think you could’ve gotten the project if Young Master Lowe hadn’t pulled some strings with the boss of the said company?”

“James, that’s enough.” Rebecca signaled the man.

“I insist. You’re the fiancée of Young Master Lowe, so it’s only right you take on the project.”

“Do you think so too?” Catherine stared at Ethan who had been keeping quiet all this while.

As a matter of fact, Ethan did pull some strings to introduce her to Young Master Clark.

However, the two men were not particularly close either. It was Catherine who took the time to meet up with Young Master Clark throughout the entire month so that they could discuss the plans over and over again before finalizing the terms.

Ethan frowned slightly. “Young Master Clark did agree to meet you because of me.”

James sneered, “Everyone knows this, but someone just insists on humiliating herself.”

“I don’t believe this. I’m going to Dad.”

Catherine drove to the main company to look for Jeffery Jones.

“Dad, why did you hand over the hotel project to Rebecca? You know that I’ve spent a lot of effort on this particular project.”
