Chapter 364

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
Catherine even noticed that many netizens were spontaneously boycotting the products of the
companies that Shaun had invested in.

The man who used to be a billionaire in Australia was now a target of criticism.

Catherine cast a complicated glance at Shaun, who was reading the newspaper across from her. He was
dressed in a dark green robe with a belt hung loosely in front of his chest. His pale muscular chest, which
was occasionally visible, exuded an aura of mature masculinity.

By the look of things, he was not going to work again today.

In fact, this issue would not have happened if he had agreed to marry Melanie and break up with
Catherine.

Catherine still found it hard to believe that Shaun would give up on the most privileged status and
reputation all for her.



“Why are you staring at me so seductively early in the morning?” Shaun lifted his head from the
newspaper, and his lips curled into a smile.

Catherine widened her eyes. Had she stared at him for a long time? She was not aware of it.

“Please. I was just thinking about something.” Catherine looked away in a twinge of embarrassment.

Shaun closed the newspaper before he rose to his feet and walked to her back. He pressed his hands on
the chair. “What were you thinking about?”

“None of your business.” Catherine sipped on the glass of milk in her hands.



“Something related to me?” Shaun bent over and leaned his handsome face toward hers. The
suffocating fragrance of his aftershave wafted into her nose.



Catherine nearly loosened her grip on the glass of milk. The man was actually in the mood for teasing
her. Was he crazy?

She secretly gritted her teeth and said directly, “Shaun, I have no idea what your intention is. Just let go
of me. You can still save everything.”

“What do you mean by everything? Reputation? Status?” Shaun asked with a faint smile.

“Don’t you know it?”



“I do, but you’re the one who doesn’t.” Shaun wiped off the milk on the edge of her mouth with his finger.
“Catherine, don’t you understand that everything’s worth sacrificing for you?”



‘Everything’s worth sacrificing for you.’

That simple sentence broke down the wall that Catherine had spent quite some time building to protect
herself from him recently.

All of a sudden, her heart began to race.

She did not understand. She had long since stopped loving him, right?



She felt nothing but hatred toward him. She wished that he was dead. She wished that he could stay as
far away from her as possible. To her, he was a terrifying devil.

However, why was she touched by him?

“Ha. Don’t tell me that you’re in love with me.” Holding back her anger, she tightened her grip on the
glass and giggled. “You show your love to me by force. You hurt my body, threatened me, and forced me
to listen to you. Are you any different from a criminal?”

“I won’t use that kind of tactic anymore. How could I possibly see you with Wesley?” Shaun said in a self-
righteous manner, “I’m sorry for hurting you earlier. I won’t do it again, and I will definitely make it up to
you.”

“I don’t need you to make it up to me. I just want you to leave me alone.” Catherine did not want him to
flirt with her anymore. She was worried that she would forget her resentment toward him and the pain he
had caused her.

Shaun’s eyes darkened. “You’re just desperate to be with Wesley again, aren’t you?”

“No…” Fearing that Shaun would hurt Wesley again, Catherine immediately replied, “I decided to marry
him only because I owe him. I just… don’t love you anymore.”

‘Don’t love you anymore…’

Shaun was so shocked that he clutched her shoulder violently.

Catherine turned her head and looked at him, only to find grimness in his eyes, like when he forced
himself on her that night.

It was this expression again.



She was frightened to the core. How could she live with him forever?

“So this is what you meant by not hurting me anymore.” In pain, Catherine broke out in a cold sweat.
