Chapter 405

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
Old Master Hill let out a long sigh after the others left.

Old Madam Hill poured him a glass of water. “Well, at this age, you might as well give up all power. To be
honest, none of the younger ones is more capable than Shaun. It isn’t worth losing our title as the most
affluent family for this.”

“It just infuriates me that the young lad is such a rebel.” He patted his heavy chest. “But he’s ruthless,
that’s for sure. No one else in the family can compare to him. Lea has the potential but she’s nothing in
comparison to him.”

“He has to be ruthless to maintain his position in the country’s most affluent family.

…

Hotel parking lot.



Upon entering the car, Catherine could not help stealing glances at the man sitting next to her as she
fastened the seat belt.

He drove the limited edition sports car today. The cool, high-tech driver’s seat enveloped his sturdy
figure. She had to admit that this man was too attractive, especially the way he spoke at the engagement
ceremony earlier… How charming!

She saw this face every single day yet his impeccable beauty still made her heart race.

How frustrating.

What happened to playing cool?



“Look at me all you want. There’s nothing wrong with appreciating your husband’s good looks. I won’t
comment on anything.”



Shaun turned sideways to catch her stealing glances at him once again. The corners of his lips curled
into a mischievous smile.

“I wasn’t looking at you. I was just stretching my neck. It feels rather stiff.” She looked out of the window
casually after saying that.



He pinched her palm playfully as a burst of joyous laughter escaped his mouth. “Were you enchanted by
your husband’s charm just now?”

“You’re making things up…” Before her voice trailed off, he grabbed her by the chin and locked his lips
with hers.

This man… Would he ever stop?



Her eyelashes fluttered. She wanted to push him away but the man had not stopped exuding this manly
charm since the ceremony.

Catherine could not help but indulge herself in it.

She knew full well that she should not surrender, but he managed to conquer her again and again.

She had to admit that a man could easily conquer a woman when he was powerful.



Just like at this moment, for instance.

…

A black luxury car slowly drove past the sports car. Wesley, who was sitting in the backseat, noticed the
two people sitting inside.

The window of the sports car was halfway rolled down. Shaun was leaning against the passenger seat
whereas Catherine had both arms wrapped around his neck. They seemed so engrossed in the kiss that
they were not aware of what was happening around them.

Wesley clenched his fists together.

A dangerous intent filled his eyes.

‘Catherine Jones, is this what you meant when you said you have no choice but to return to Shaun?’

She could not even bring herself to kiss Wesley on the lips.

Yet look at how much she was enjoying this intimate act with Shaun.

In short, she had lied to Wesley. She never intended to leave Shaun! She only had eyes for that man
even if it meant she had to suffer.

If that was the case, why had she given him hope from the start?

Right at this moment, Wesley’s heart was filled with hatred.

He slowly rolled up the window and shut his eyes. “Let’s get going.”
