Chapter 1498

Shaun froze and stared at her with an unpleasant expression.

“ Shaunny, I’m sorry. Even if what I said is hard to hear, I have to do it for the children,” Catherine bit
her lip and said in a low voice.

“No, I’m unhappy because you think of me as useless. No matter who the mastermind is, I won’t be
pulled down that easily.” Shaun hugged her gently. “If there really comes a day when I can’t protect you
and the children, you don’t have to say anything more. I’ll let you go.”

Catherine did not say anything, but her eyes stung. She loved him, and he loved her.

However, reality was not a fairy tale. They had to be responsible for their children.

After reaching the Snow residence.

When the butler brought them in, they heard Rodney’s voice when they arrived at the door.

“Uncle, Shaun is like my brother and he has a good relationship with the Snow family. You have to help
him.”

“ Second Master Snow, Young Master Hill and Miss Jones are here, ” the butler said.

Shaun and Catherine took a look and saw that besides Nathan, Freya and Rodney were present too.

Shaun nodded at them and punched Rodney’s shoulder gently. “Thanks.”

“We’re brothers.” Rodney chuckled and rubbed his nose.



Shaun did not say anything else and looked at Nathan. “Uncle Nathan, you know how I am. The Hill
family has stood at the top of the business world for more than a hundred years and has always abided
by the rules. This is the first time that such a large-scale investigation has been carried out. I just want
to know what they want.”



“Shaun, I’ll tell you the truth.” Nathan lit a cigarette. “I contacted the executive council, and they warned
me not to intervene in this matter.

Otherwise, I won’t be able to afford the consequences.”

Everyone’s expressions changed.

Rodney stood up furiously. “Do they want to ruin Hill Corporation?”

“Most likely,” Nathan nodded and said helplessly, “ Even though you’ve come to me for help, the only
thing I can give you is an apology.”

Shaun’s handsome face sunk. “You’ll be the prime minister next month. What if I delay it until then?”

“Shaun, I suspect that it’s not the executive council that’s targeting you. Someone might have told them
to do it, and that force is one that the executive council can’t afford to offend. I think it’s imperative that
you find out who you offended first. Only then will you be able to come up with a solution, ” Nathan
reminded him.

“I understand.” Shaun nodded.

Rodney was stunned. “That can’t be. Shaun does have a lot of enemies, but they’re third-rate trash like
Mason and Wesley. How did he provoke someone who even the highest power in the country can’t



afford to offend?”

“You don’t know, but there are always more powerful people in the world, ” Nathan said meaningfully.

After leaving the Snow residence.

Shaun and Rodney were walking side by side. Catherine and Freya walked behind them.

“Cathy, don’t worry. There’ll definitely be a way.” Freya did not know how to comfort Catherine, but she
said it anyway.

“There is a way, but Freya, I need your help, ” Catherine suddenly said, “ It may be the only way to get
a clue on who this person is.”
