Chapter 1178

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

“If I intervene in this matter, it’ll be very awkward for the Mead and Snow families if this gets out of hand.
Brother Shaun will be put in an awkward spot too.”

Ryan was in a dilemma. He explained, “You don’t understand. There are so many people here tonight.
Since Hannah dares to do this, she must’ve gotten her parents’ permission. She’s their only daughter.
The Mead family dotes on her a lot. My dad and the Mead family are on the same boat now. There can’t
be conflicts between us.”

Catherine’s scalp tingled. She was still slightly angry. “Who let him attend the party in the first place? It’s
none of my f*cking business. Just let Hannah give him relief. Maybe he can even play up to the Mead
family.”

In the end, Shaun was the one who got into this trouble himself. Why must she be the one to handle it?

The bathroom door abruptly opened.

Shaun had already taken off his outerwear. He just had a shirt on him, and the buttons were all open,
exposing a large area of his muscular chest. Water droplets were all over his flushed face. It was as if
flames were burning in his eyes.

“I’m not here to play up to the Mead family.”

Shaun fought back the agony, which felt as if bugs were biting his body. He gazed at Catherine deeply.
“Yesterday, you were the one who said… you’ll be coming today. That’s why I came.”

Catherine was taken aback.



She recalled him asking her if she was free today the day before yesterday. She said that she had to
attend Senator Mead’s daughter’s party.

He came here because of her?

While she was in a daze, Shaun closed the door again. He leaned back on the door. His distressed,
hoarse voice could be heard. It made the two women blush with their hearts pounding.

Freya felt like she could not continue listening anymore. She even wanted to clean her ears. “Er… Cathy,
why don’t you go in and help him out?”

Catherine glared at Freya in embarrassment. Did Freya know what help she would be giving if she went
in?

“That’s right, ” Ryan said hurriedly, “If Hannah comes looking for him here, she’ll surely realize he’s inside
if she hears his voice. At that time, she’ll definitely want to provide him relief. Men are capable of doing
irrational things when they lose control. There are many guests here tonight too. Hannah will surely force
Shaun to take responsibility.”

Freya cleared her throat. “You don’t want Hannah to be Suzie and Lucas’ stepmother, right?”

Catherine did not want that, but asking her to do it with Shaun…

Furthermore, Wesley was just downstairs. She could not bring herself to do such a thing.

Her brain was in a mess like mush.

Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, there was the sound of someone knocking on the door from outside. Hannah’s voice could be
heard. “Ryan, are you inside?”



Catherine and the others’ expressions changed. Ryan gritted his teeth. He could not think too much
about it anymore. He opened the bathroom door and pushed Catherine inside.

Freya was startled. “You…”

“If she’s unwilling, she can still come out. Let’s talk again after we dodge this oncoming problem.” Ryan
touched his nose helplessly.

Freya was speechless. Nevertheless, after Catherine went in, the panting sounds did get softer. Tsk,
could it be that those two were already… Ahem.

Seeing that Ryan was going to open the door, Freya ran over to the sofa and sat down. She acted like
she was eating fruits and watching television.

The door opened. Hannah immediately walked in. When she saw that only Freya was there, she could
not help but feel that it was weird. She said, “Ryan, what were you doing inside here with your godsister?
You even locked the door.”

Those ambiguous words almost made Freya choke on a mango.

“ Sis, be careful.” Ryan nervously poured a glass of water for Freya in a hurry. Then, he patted Freya’s
back gently.

Hannah watched that scene with a profound gaze. “ Have I… interrupted something?”

“No… ” Freya could not resist retorting furiously, but Ryan beat her to it and said, “My sister isn’t feeling
too well. My mom asked me to accompany her here. Hannah, why are you up here and not downstairs
enjoying your birthday party?”
