Not long after Shaun left, Sarah, who was on the bed, opened her eyes.“Sarah, you’re incredible.” Thomas gave her a thumbs up. He whispered, “Say, how angry will Catherine be if she knows her most important subordinate is getting his finger chopped off?”Sarah squinted her eyes.How angry will Catherine be?According to the information she got, that person was Catherine’s subordinate, but Catherine treated him like family.Catherine cherished feelings more than anything. How angry would she be if her family member’s finger got cut off?Shaun could never be together with Catherine in this lifetime....At Liona, after Catherine parked her car, she walked toward the main door.When the person at the door saw her, he immediately went in to report it. A few minutes later, Elle brought some people with her and came over. When she saw Catherine, she was stunned. “Young Madam—”“Don’t call me ‘Young Madam’ anymore. I haven't been one since a long time ago.” Catherine looked at he
Although they were a distance away, Catherine could sense that Shaun was in a very bad mood. Even his eyes were filled with hostility.When she remembered that he had come from the hospital, she knew that b*tch, Sarah, did something to sow discord between them again.“Eldest Young Master Hill, Miss Jones said she wants to meet Logan,” Chance stepped forward and said.Shaun’s thin lips lifted in a sneer. “You can meet him, but you won’t ever come out again after going in. What do you think?”Catherine’s brows were knitted together in a tight frown. “Shaun, I’m here because I sincerely want to have a peaceful talk with you. Do we have to make things like this between us?”“Do you think I’m willing to? You’re the one who forced me.” Shaun’s chest was full of hostility. It made his tone become filled with annoyance as well.“Catherine, did you think about my feelings when you pressed a gun against me? You did such an awful thing to Sarah too. You want to destroy her, and even drive h
Shaun’s heart shuddered. He narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean?”“I’m just thinking, Eldest Young Master Hill, how would you feel if someone chopped your family member’s finger off?” Elle smiled bitterly. She bent over to pick up the finger on the floor and went to the hospital with it.Shaun stood on the spot, unmoving.Summer was nearing, yet he felt his insides turning cold.No, it could not be. He was just a bodyguard.Besides, he had to teach Catherine a lesson. If not, he could not give Sarah an explanation....In the basement.Catherine was brought in. After the door opened, she immediately smelled blood. Then, she saw that Logan had been thrown to the floor like a sack. He had already lost consciousness. His face, which used to be arrogant and unyielding, was heavily wounded. His whole body was covered with wounds caused by a whip. She swept a glance over his whole body. Finally, her gaze set on his hand. Her pupils shrank.“His finger…”“Young Master Hill chop
“All these… must be connected to Sarah. But… what’s scarier is the person hiding behind Sarah.”Logan struggled and said, “He’s already… targeting us.”Catherine shuddered. “Did you tell Shaun about this?”“I did, but… they think I’m lying.” Logan laughed bitterly. “Boss, you… You have a bad eye. I’m even… stronger than him.”“I’m sorry. Can you stand it?” Catherine looked at him worriedly.“The most agonizing thing… is the withdrawal symptoms.” Logan was gasping. “But… the pain in my body helps me stay awake and control… myself. Besides, death... is nothing. I owe you my life anyway.”“Don’t say any more. I’ll get you out of here.”Catherine held his hands and swore with reddened eyes.The metal doors suddenly opened. Shaun stood at the door. When he saw both of their hands tightly clasped together, hostility flashed across his eyes.“Looks like not only do you not want your finger, but you don’t even want your hand anymore.”Shaun walked over in long strides. He yanked Cath
Shaun’s expression changed. He stared at Catherine without budging.Catherine’s eyes were like stagnant lake water—calm without any ripples.“What he said is right. If we were officially dating before, then I’m saying this formally. Shaun, let’s break up. It’s impossible for me to be with you anymore. It’ll never be possible again. Therefore, it’s not important whether you forgive me or not.”Shaun looked at the woman in front of him who had a calm, determined expression. His strong heart shuddered hard.A sense of indescribable helplessness shrouded him.Catherine was so close to him at that moment, yet it was as if there were mountains and rivers between them.No one would know that he had never thought of breaking up. Even when Rodney kneeled in front of him… Even when he knew she was the one who instructed Logan, he wanted to use Logan as a scapegoat. As long as she turned over a new leaf, he would forgive her.“Don’t you dare.”After a long while, he spoke with a hoarse vo
“Do you want to call Suzie to ask where she is now?” Catherine raised her eyebrows and reminded Shaun.Shaun’s heart shuddered. He found Suzie’s number and dialed it in a hurry, but she could not be reached.“What did you do to Suzie?” His eyes were full of murderous intent as if he was about to kill her.“I can allow you to have a video call with her for a while, but you have to ask someone to return my phone to me.” Catherine extended her hand toward him.Shaun immediately had someone bring her phone over. Catherine called Austin. A man wearing a mask appeared on the screen. “Miss…”“Let him see the child,” Catherine ordered.Soon, Austin gave the phone to Suzie.“Uncle Shaun…” Suzie raised her head with a bright smile. Shaun looked at the background. He noticed it was not Hackett Institute but a completely unknown place.“Suzie, why didn’t you go to school today?” he asked hurriedly.“Aunty Cathy said she’s bringing me to play today. She asked this uncle to pick me up. Uncl
Once Logan was sent to the police station, he would be hospitalized for treatment and interrogated again according to the standard procedure. Not only that, he would be in the police’s hands, so Shaun would be unable to teach Logan a lesson.“I’ll make a police report too.” He walked down the stairs, pointing at Catherine. “This woman abducted my niece and intends to hurt her. Please investigate this matter immediately.”“Alright, this lady and Mr. Hill, please follow us to the police station,” the police said.Next, Logan was sent to the hospital in an ambulance. Catherine sat in the police car while Shaun followed behind in a sedan arranged by Liona.Not long after arriving at the police station, Liam brought Suzie over.“Hello, Mr. Police,” Suzie greeted the police sweetly once she entered.“Hi, little darling.” After pinching Suzie’s chubby cheeks, the police looked at Shaun puzzledly. “Young Master Hill, didn’t you say your niece was kidnapped?”“...”Shaun stared at Liam
In the sports car, Suzie lay in Catherine’s embrace. Tears streaked her face. “Mom, is it very painful? I no longer like scummy dad. Don’t be together with him anymore.”“It’s okay. I’m fine.” Catherine touched Suzie’s head. “Suzie, you did a good job today. I’m sorry that I used you.”If she could, she did not want her children to be exposed to such dirty stuff.“It’s okay, you only did it to rescue Uncle Logan anyway. Besides, Uncle Austin kept playing with me,” Suzie whispered.“Go play with Uncle Liam later. I still need to search for evidence to prove Uncle Logan’s innocence.” Catherine kissed Suzie’s forehead. “I’ll look for you after I finish my work, okay?”“Mm, Suzie will be a good girl.” Suzie sniffed and nodded her head.“Do you need help?” Liam asked.“No, you just need to help me take good care of Suzie.” Catherine shook her head. That matter was too complicated. She was afraid something would happen to Liam as well.“It’s my fault for being useless.” Liam smiled b
