Chapter 1117

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

Crawling out and waiting for help did not necessarily mean that he was saved, as the things in the shaft
could kill him brutally at any time.

To put it another way, staying alive was not easy. In fact, it was nothing short of a miracle that he
managed to save someone else as well.

Even so, Catherine remained indifferent. “Young Master Hill, how impressive of you. You didn’t forget to
save the woman even though you were on the verge of death.”

The woman even had a crush on him now. Indeed, h e would never forget to lure women.

Shaun raised his brows when he heard her. “Cathy, you’re jealous.”

“Jealous, your *ss.”

Despite being an elite young lady, Catherine was forced to use swear words time and time again
because of him. “ Shaun, you claimed that Wesley has ulterior motives, but I think you’re no different
than him. Now that you’ve saved Senator Mead’s

daughter, his family probably considers you as Hannah’s lifesaver and feels eternally grateful to you.
Perhaps you can turn things around again after marrying Hannah. That’s quite a brilliant plan too.”

The spark in Shaun’s eyes vanished. He had never expected this to be Catherine’s impression of him.

A hint of self-mockery lit up in his eyes. Nevertheless, who could he blame?

He was the one who had destroyed his own image in her heart, bit by bit.

“No, Cathy.”



He explained to her softly, “If I escaped without saving Hannah today, Senator Mead would’ve taken my
life away. For someone of his character, he wouldn’t let me off the hook even if I wasn’t the one who
killed her daughter. He would wonder

what gave me the right to survive when his daughter was dead. He wouldn’t bother considering how
difficult it was to escape the situation. In fact, saving his daughter was much harder than reaching the
sky.”

Catherine was suddenly at a loss for words.

Indeed, the more powerful one was, the more selfish they would be.

In everyone else’s eyes, their family’s lives were more significant than other people’s.

It seemed that her earlier remarks had gone too far. “Cathy, I really thought that I’d die today.”

Shaun walked closer to her again, his eyes glinting with deep affection. “When the elevator plunged, all I
thought about was you. I was dissatisfied and refused to believe how I was going to lose you just like
that. At that very instant, it struck me that you’re much more important than I imagined.

Because of you, I did my best to crawl out. I didn’t show up immediately because I wanted to see who
was laughing in their sleeves. That person could very well be the mastermind behind the incident.
Another reason was I wanted to see whether you were happy or sad after you found out about my death.
If you were happy, I would disappear from your sights. If you were sad, I…”

“Drop it.”

Agitated, Catherine interrupted him as she did not want to listen to him anymore. The more he explained,
the more confused she was.

She did not know why she was beside herself at that time either.



Shaun smiled at how confused she looked. At least h e held a different place in her heart and not

someone insignificant to her.

Regardless of love or hate, he had a place in her heart.

“Cathy, I came here to tell you that for your sake, I won’t give up on myself anymore. I’ll lead Hill
Corporation to the top again. As for you, I will snatch you away from Wesley once again.

“I love you. I used to be grossly mistaken, but I won’t behave like that anymore.”

After that, he slowly retreated in the dark with his breathtaking, handsome face.

Despite being severely injured, he turned around and walked away arrogantly.

Catherine stared at his back in a daze. His words were echoing in her head.

Was he planning to snatch her back? What a lunatic.

Then, a sports car stopped in front of Catherine, and Freya lowered the car window. “Are you a statue?
Hurry up and hop in.”
