Chapter 1073
Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
Stung by Shaun’s mocking comments, Lea was speechless.
She had basically shot herself in the foot.
“By the way, do you know who’s the man who bought the Hill family’s old manor?” Shaun asked out of
the blue.
“I’m not sure. He didn’t show his face at all.” Lea asked with a frown, “Why are you asking this?”
“Nothing. ” Shaun shook his head. He then watched Lea hold Suzie’s hand as she brought her upstairs.
The phone on his desk vibrated again, showing a strange number.
He answered the call and Sarah’s voice sounded. “ Shaun, why did you block my number?”
“So are you going to return the money to me?” Shaun asked indifferently.
“No, Shaunic. You’ve misunderstood me. I’ve never thought of hurting you—”
Shaun hung up the call before Sarah could finish her sentence.
She was so furious that she screamed like a madwoman.
Rodney came in and happened to catch sight of this scene. He got a shock as he found this side of
Sarah strange.
“Rodney, what brings you here?”
Sarah was shocked as well. She did not expect the security guard to let him in without her knowing. She
quickly forced out a few teardrops and acted as if she was breaking down. “I called Shaunic just now and
he got on my nerves. He has become so strange and terrifying. Although we’re no longer friends after we
broke up, we don’t need to be enemies.”
“Shaun has changed.” Rodney saw why she had lost control and nodded. “I went to look for him and he
ignored me too.”
Enduring her helplessness, Sarah asked on impulse, “Have you looked for Chester?”
“… Chester doesn’t want to interfere.” Rodney glanced at her and said, “Chester also thinks that you
should return about 8o billion dollars to Shaun. In fact, even 2o billion dollars is a lot. A lot of people can’t
make 1oo million dollars even if they don’t eat or drink their whole lives.”
Chester had not made such a remark. However, Rodney was too ashamed to say this to Sarah directly.
Therefore, he tried to persuade her using Chester’s name.
“I’ve said that I can’t fork out so much money now because I placed it in a closed-end fund. Why don’t
you lend it to me first? I’ll return it to you later.” Struck by a thought, Sarah said pathetically.
Rodney was stunned. “If I had this amount of money, I would’ve surely lent it to you. But I only have a
few billion dollars in hand.”
The Snow family had blocked his card to stop him from being with Sarah. Therefore, he could only rely
on Osher Corporation now. However, he was also strapped for cash, considering that advertising Osher’s
new product would require a great deal of money as well.
Deep down, Sarah snorted and thought, ‘What a poor man!’
She actually expected him to return 8o billion dollars for her when he was so poor.
How dumb of her!
Rodney persuaded her, saying, “Sarah, you must believe me. I can make a lot of money in the future.
I can give you 200 billion dollars, much less 100 billion dollars…”
“Enough. Drop it.”
Amid her sobs, Sarah rose to her feet. “ Shaun has dumped me once, so I’ve lost faith in relationships. I
just want to hold onto what I have now. Besides, what gives Shaun the right to treat me this way?
I’m not happy about it.”
Dejected, Rodney lowered his gaze. “I wish I could help you too. I’ve asked many lawyers about it.
From what they said, you won’t be able to win this case…”
“Please leave now. I want to spend some time alone.” Sarah turned around without being bothered about
him.
Rodney felt incredibly upset. He gazed at her for a while before he walked away.
He was very disappointed.
He wondered if Sarah refused to return the money because she was dissatisfied with how Shaun had
harmed her or because she could not bear to part with the money.
He just found the current Sarah very strange.
One could be fond of money but… one could not be too greedy.
What was more, Rodney had been going here and there recently to get Sarah a lawyer. He was so
weary that he had not even been to the office these days. Even so, Sarah could not seem to understand
his intentions.
