Chapter 1048

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]

“Campos Corporation is above Landell, yet they are still not satisfied.” Shaun opened his mouth and said
coldly, “How greedy.”

“Now that they’ve become the leading company in Australia, they probably want to expand their territory
internationally.” Hadley agreed with him.

Shaun suddenly fell silent, but his disdainful eyes stared at Hadley.

“Y-Young Master Hill, did I say something wrong?” Hadley was disturbed by his stare.

“Hadley, you’re my capable assistant. Wherever I go, you follow. You should know me better than anyone
else.” A cold, suffocating glint flashed across Shaun’s deep eyes. “Didn’t you notice my sudden change
in attitude three years ago?”

Hadley’s eyes quivered.

Shaun caught the expression in his eyes. “What… What change? Eldest Young Master, haven’t you
always been like this?” Hadley quickly calmed down and answered.

“Hadley, can I still believe you?” Shaun stood up. “Our relationship is just one between an employer and
employee. During this period, many of Hill Corporation’s executives and even the people in the
secretarial department have resigned and left one after another. What about you? Have you thought
about leaving before?”

Hadley was startled by his words, but he shook his head. “Eldest Young Master, I met you when I was
around 14- As you know, back then, my father remarried after my mother died and did not care about
me. He didn’t even pay for my tuition fees. I got into fights every day and was someone who didn’t have
a future. It was your appearance that saved me. “You paid for my tuition and sent me to school. From



then on, I vowed to follow you for the rest of my life. After I graduated, I didn’t have much talent in
business, but it was you who taught me by hand. I will never forget that kindness. I swear, I’ll follow you
for the rest of my life.”

“The rest of your life?” Shaun smiled mockingly at himself. “What if my future gets darker and darker?

“It won’t. People might not understand you, but I do. I know what you’re capable of.”

Hadley said in a low voice, “Even if you’re no longer the president of Hill Corporation, with your status as
a lawyer and your shrewdness in the financial market, you’d be noticed in any industry.”

Shaun smiled, but it was not a smug smile. It was a sad one. “I’m very talented at earning money, but I’m
a fool when it comes to relationships. Hadley, I don’t believe that you didn’t notice my sudden change in
attitude towards Catherine three years ago.”

Hadley’s eyes widened. He had his suspicions, but he did not expect Eldest Young Master to really
notice it.

“Judging by your reaction, you’ve noticed it long ago. Why didn’t you tell me?”

Shaun fiercely grabbed him by the collar. His eyes were filled with rage. “If you had told me earlier, I
wouldn’t have acted like a fool for three years, completely unaware that I was hypnotized by Sarah.”

After he roared, he realized that Hadley was not shocked. It was as if he already knew about it. “You
knew that I was hypnotized?”

Hadley nodded painfully. As matters stood, he knew he could not hide it any longer. “Ms. Jones and I
were the first to realize that something was wrong with you.”

Shaun’s body trembled as he asked hoarsely, “She knew, too?”



“Yes. Don’t forget, she was the wife that slept beside you every night, and I was the assistant who
followed you every day.”

Hadley said bitterly, “Three years ago, Sarah suddenly came back. Coupled with the matters from
Charity’s family, you quarreled with Ms. Jones every day, and the estrangement deepened day by day.
Ms. Jones didn’t trust you, and the both of you were rarely speaking. You were always in the company
and didn’t want to go back, and whenever you did, you both would end up fighting again.”
