Chapter 1518

Rodney’s thin lips moved as he muttered the words. After pausing for a moment, he said, “You don’t
have to thank me again. Didn’t you already say it just now?”

With that, Freya stopped being coy. Now that she was married to Rodney, she felt that they were
considered allies. There was no need to behave as though they were enemies.

Catherine was planning to drive to Hill Corporation at first, but she found out later through a call that
Shaun was already home.

She then drove back to the Hill family’s villa, only to find that Suzie and Lucas had gone to Old Madam
Hill’s place while Shaun was eating pasta.

However, she did not feel like eating, probably because she was in a bad mood.

As soon as Shaun noticed Catherine’s return, he put down his fork. “Where did you go? I heard Aunty
Yasmine say that you left in a hurry after your dinner.”

“To investigate something. ” Catherine sat down and told him what happened tonight.

Upon hearing it, Shaun’s face turned grave. He even looked slightly annoyed. “Catherine Jones, why
didn’t you discuss such a serious matter with me?”

“I noticed that you were tied up.” Catherine battered her innocent eyes. Apparently, any man who saw
those eyes could not bear to criticize her.

Nevertheless, Shaun lost his temper. “You don’t even know how wicked Bryce is. How dare Rodney
hide it from me. Wasn’t he afraid that you’d be left suffering there?”



“ Since I had the guts to go there, I was confident that I could ride it out.” With that, she shrugged
helplessly. “ If I didn’t go there, how can I be sure that Rebecca is related to the issue?”

“I’ll ask Liona members to keep a close watch on Bryce. I’m sure Bryce knows the person behind
Rebecca, and he’ll go all out to flatter that person too. We’ll find out who it is by then, ” Shaun said
coldly.



He was worried not because Hill Corporation was under investigation but because he was clueless
about the other party’s background.

“Are you sure you can solve it?” Catherine looked at him anxiously.

Shaun was stunned for a few seconds before he pursed his thin lips. “If I can’t solve it, you can take the
kids overseas.”

Catherine’s heart did a flip.

Given that this man used to be so confident, his current manner made her feel lost.

“What about you?” she asked after a while.

“ I don’t care who’s backing Rebecca. Now that she has returned to Australia, I’ll destroy her.” Shaun’s
bloodshot eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty. “ It was my mistake that made Rebecca who she is today.
I won’t allow this mistake to happen again. I must protect you and the kids.”

“Is it… really that bad?” A look of agony washed over Catherine’s face. She may seem confident in
front of Rebecca, but she was actually unsure of herself.



“Judging from how careful Bryce is toward Rebecca, I suspect the person behind Rebecca is of
immense significance to the global economy.”

After Shaun spoke gravely, Catherine froze. It baffled her why God was so unfair to help such a wicked
woman like Rebecca time and time again.

“ Sorry, Cathy. ” Shaun suddenly hugged Catherine tightly, as if he was going to press her into his body.
“How I wish I could be with you like this forever. ”

Locked in his embrace, Catherine felt dissatisfied.

Catherine and Shaun had gone through a lot of hardships to get to this point. Although the kids called
Shaun ‘scummy dad’, they had long since accepted him.

No. She was unwilling to give up just like that. She had to put in some effort, at least.

All of a sudden, a person occurred to her.

When Shaun was taking a bath that night, Catherine gave Matthew a call.
