Let Me Go, Mr. Hill novel Chapter 117

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 117
Just as Catherine was packing her things to head to the restaurant with her colleagues, a few police officers barged in. “Who’s Catherine Jones?”

Her colleagues looked at each other with alarmed faces. Catherine had a sinking feeling, then she stood up and said, “It’s me…”

As soon as she responded, both her hands were cuffed.

The police said indifferently, “A fire broke out in Lublin Hotel this morning, which has resulted in a loss of over ten million dollars. We’ve received a call from the party involved in the incident, and Summit claims that you were in charge of the hotel back then. You have to go to the police station to be investigated.”

Catherine felt as if her head had exploded. “It has nothing to do with me at all. It’s been over two months since I left the hotel. They’re probably trying to make me their scapegoat!”

“I’m sorry, but Summit has provided me with evidence regarding your receipt of rebate and use of uncertified cables. Stop denying it.”

The police immediately seized her and walked out.

Meanwhile, many reporters were already waiting downstairs.

“What kind of popular designer is she? She actually offered clients substandard cables that would cause a fire.”

“Gosh. I just paid Talton Design for the renovation cost. I’m going to cancel it and ask for a refund.”

“Same here. Who knows, my house might even end up in flames?”

“…”

In just a moment, all the clients who had initially made payments to Talton Design came to ask for a refund. Some clients were worried about the renovation work that was underway and came to hold the company accountable.

“Enough. Stop explaining. Even your dad has admitted that it’s your doing. You’re his biological daughter, whereas James is just his nephew. You have the greatest control over the construction site,” the police interrupted her speech.

“That’s impossible.”

Catherine shook her head, looking pale. She then stood up with agitation. “I’m his biological daughter, but why is he accusing me? Am I not as important as his wife’s nephew?”

“Stop acting crazy. Take her out and lock her up.” The police waved.

“I want to make a call. I want to get someone to bail me out,” Catherine yelled.

“Sorry. Given that your case is quite severe, you’re not allowed to meet or contact anyone else before the case is closed.”
