Let Me Go Mr Hill novel Chapter 397

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 397
“Oh wow, so this hotel actually belongs to Charlie! I heard that the hotel’s turnover for this year is among the top three of all hotels in Australia. That’s impressive.’

“That’s right.” Melanie shifted her gaze toward Charlie who was being surrounded by the crowd. The man was quite attractive, although not as handsome or fit as Eldest Young Master Hill. Besides, his future was full of opportunities and potential.

Everyone from the Hill family was present today, not to mention the other influential names in the politics and business industry. She felt distinguished for having these guests at her engagement ceremony.

This was the wedding she had been dreaming of.

Shaun would probably regret his choice when he arrived later. It was his fault for not wanting to marry her.

Plus, there was Catherine as well. That disfigured woman must be so envious of her.

“Look, Eldest Young Master Hill is here! He’s accompanied by Catherine Jones.”

Aunty Irene shouted out of the blue.

Everyone present at the private beach turned their heads to the entrance. Shaun came in while dressed in a white tux. He rarely showed up in public events wearing white but right this moment, he resembled Prince Charming from all the fairytales. The other male guests present could not compare to him.

Besides, Charlie, the groom-to-be, was also dressed in a white tux today. He looked so average in comparison to Shaun’s charming appearance.

Enraged, he smashed the wine glass in his hand.

On the other hand, Melanie had also failed to compose her emotions. This was because she noticed the light blue evening gown that Catherine was wearing at the moment.

She had wanted to wear that piece of masterwork from expert designer BonnyKing for her engagement ceremony yet she failed to get her hands on it despite offering a lofty sum. However, Catherine now showed up at the ceremony wearing that exact dress.

Yvonne covered her mouth before whispering, “Is that the evening gown you…”

Melanie threw her a piercing stare immediately.

“It’s alright. Catherine’s face is horrendous anyway. It’s a waste that the evening gown fell into her hands,” Yvonne said a few seconds later.

“You’re right.” In the past, Melanie was jealous of Catherine for being prettier than her.

President Thompson did not even try to hide the disdain in his eyes when he looked at Shaun. “Eldest Young Master Hill, take care. You should enjoy the feast tonight with your wife. Perhaps no one else would invite you to such exclusive events in the future.”

“Well, then I shall thank President Thompson for your advice.” The corners of Shaun’s lips twitched into an enigmatic smile. He did not appear annoyed or frustrated but looked more like he was watching a ridiculous puppet show.

“Eldest Young Master Hill, please don’t be upset.” Melanie suddenly used a hand to cover her mouth as if she had only just noticed Catherine. “Oh, what happened to your face? Yikes, the uneven texture looks terrifying.”

Something cold flashed across Shaun’s eyes. He parted his lips, intending to retaliate.

Catherine tightened her grip around his hand and smiled calmly. “It’s quite scary. Sometimes, I even hate myself in the middle of the night. But fortunately, Shaun gave me the confidence I needed by staying with me, encouraging me, and loving me. He doesn’t even bat an eyelid at the other women who keep trying to seduce him.”

The calmness of her tone made Melanie’s insult seem insignificant.

Quite the contrary, Catherine’s words implied that Melanie had once pestered Shaun yet he would still rather be with a disfigured woman than her.

Melanie was furious at the humiliation, but an enigmatic smile flashed across Charlie’s face. “Mrs. Hill, men don’t always tell the truth. After all, what happened to your face is truly sympathetic.”
