Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 1138

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1138

Shaun was astonished.

He did not expect Mason to have been plotting and scheming since more than 20 years ago. “Why must he hunt you down? Didn’t my mom agree to be with him willingly?”

“Because I disrupted his plans.”

Brennan said complicatedly, “More than 30 years ago, Lea, Mason, and I were in the same school.

Your mom was the belle of the school back then. She was the goddess in every guys’ heart while I was only a university student from a family with a middle-class income. I got to know your mom because we both joined the student council.

However, Mason’s family’s financial situation was slightly better than mine. During a party, Mason spiked your mom’s wine…”

Shaun’s brows furrowed. “But mom always said that it was you who used despicable methods that time…”

“I never thought of taking advantage of your mother’s status at all, okay?”

Brennan said coldly, “It was Mason’s scheme, but I accidentally drank that glass of wine, and Mason was held up by someone else at that moment as well. After that, we had you, and the Hill family made me marry into the family.”

Shaun frowned.

He knew about the marriage that happened afterward.

Although Brennan’s family was not financially well- off at that time, he was the scholar of the college entrance examination that year. After enrolling in university, his results were the top of the class, and he won many grand awards. Since his reputation was not bad, the Hill family agreed to their marriage.

“So you disrupted Mason’s plans?”

“Mm.”

Brennan continued saying, “After that, in order to avoid Mason’s chase on me, I didn’t dare to use my passport. I lived like a beggar every day. I slept in an alley and ate other people’s rancid rice. Sometimes, I did illegal work for others, and I was even deprived of my salary. I was a top student, yet I lived a life of pure misery.”

Shaun’s throat gulped painfully.

He always thought Brennan had abandoned him and was living comfortably overseas.

“Did Mason take it that far back then?”

“Yes. The most hateful thing was that Mason was too good at disguising himself. Almost the whole of Australia took him as a soft-spoken gentleman, and that Lea and art were the love of his life.”

Brennan laughed sarcastically. “In other people’s eyes, I’m just a shameless man who would do anything to take advantage of your mom. No matter how I explained it to Lea, she kept thinking that I was trying to provoke and ruin her relationship with Mason. No one believed me.”

“Dad, I’m sorry…”
