Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 437
Old Madam Hill had even prepared herself for Shaun’s hostility on the way here. It was certainly out of her expectation to see him in this calm and cheery nature.
The young couple noticed the old woman when they entered the house.
Immediately, the smile on Shaun’s face disappeared. His eyes revealed indifference and defensiveness.
Old Madam Hill felt as if a needle had poked her heart.
“Hello, Granny,” Catherine greeted the elderly woman gently as if nothing unpleasant had happened between them before.
The old woman only gave her a cold glance, refusing to comment.
A shadow veiled across Shaun’s face. “If you’re here to be rude to my wife, then please leave.”
“You…” Old Madam Hill stammered out of rage. “I’m your grandmother. Will you only be happy after I die?”
“All I know is the Hill family was the one who poured salt on my wound. I would’ve been forcefully trapped in the mental hospital if not for Cathy.” The corners of his lips twitched into a sarcastic smile. “If you all still see me as family, then the least you can do is to show her some respect.”
Old Madam Hill appeared frustrated.
Catherine said softly upon seeing that, “Granny, I should be the one feeling angry because my face is disfigured thanks to your family. Do I deserve all the bad things simply because I don’t come from a background as powerful as the Hill family?”
Old Madam Hill parted her lips to say something but Shaun interrupted before she had the chance. “I’ve been the one pestering her since the beginning so stop assuming that she’s a scheming woman. She had no idea of my identity when she first met me. I also dated Melanie later on simply to make her jealous.”
“How could you do that to Melanie?” The old woman’s voice revealed her displeasure.
Shaun snorted, and Old Madam Hill remained silent too.
After Catherine disappeared into the kitchen, Old Madam Hill instructed the lawyer to bring out the share ownership transfer form. “This is from your grandpa. You’ll have full control over Hill Corporation after signing this. Your grandpa and I will not interfere with the corporation’s matters from then on.”
He signed the papers without hesitation. “Not only hasn’t Aunty Valerie improved the business in Hill Insurance since she took over, but the sales have reached a new low. She should retire early, sit back, and enjoy the annual bonuses at home.”
The old woman appeared startled before shouting, “Are you doing this because she caused Catherine facial disfigurement…”
“So what if that’s true? You tolerate her even after she caused harm to someone else simply because she’s your daughter. But she’s not my daughter,” he replied indifferently.
“But she’s your aunty, after all…” Old Madam Hill let out a long sigh. “Besides, her sales did improve last month…”
