Chapter 1169

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

“I have a date tomorrow, ” Catherine interrupted Shaun’s sentence, knowing what was on his mind.

“With Wesley?” Shaun’s handsome face looked particularly gloomy in the dark.

Catherine shot a strange glance at him. “He asked me to attend Miss Mead’s birthday party. Didn’t Miss
Mead invite you?”

“ I’m not close to her.” Shaun instantly denied his relationship with her.

With that, Catherine did not say anything else.

When Shaun drove to the office the next day, someone called out to him.

“Shaun, I finally stumbled into you this time.” Hannah, who was dressed to the nines, appeared in front of
him. Considering her young age, she looked like a budding flower.

When Shaun recalled that Catherine would be attending her birthday party, his brows twitched and he
stopped walking.

“Shaun, I’ve come to look for you several times. Are you trying to shun me and not answering my call on
purpose?”

As Hannah was speaking, she naturally put her hand on his shoulder.

“Miss Mead, please behave yourself,” Shaun said while dodging her.

“I’m interested in you. Why should I behave myself?” Hannah pouted coquesttishly. “What’s more, today
is my birthday. Can’t you just put up with me?”

Shaun gave her a stony glance. “Oh.”



“Oh? How indifferent of you. I don’t care. You must attend my birthday party today.” Hannah took out an
invitation card from her handbag and stuffed it into his arms. “If you don’t come, I’ll make my dad do
something to you.”

Shaun’s expression changed.

He believed that what Hannah broght up would not be something favorable.

This current time was crucial period for Hill Corporation. If anything went wrong with its development, the
consequences would be unimaginable.

“I’ll be waiting for you.” Hannah gave him an air kiss before she turned around and swaggered off.

A hint of hatred flashed across his eyes. Suddenly, Shaun grinned at the sight of the invitation card in his
hand.

He wondered how Catherine would react after seeing him there.

At night.

Catherine, who was dressed in a modest black gown, arrived at the Mead family’s villa together with
Wesley.

Since the eldest young lady of the Mead family was the focus of the party, Catherine had to dress
cautiously to subdue her beauty.

At first, Catherine thought that a lot of noblemen would show up.

After she arrived, she realized that there were just ten or so influential figures. Most of the guests present
were Hannah’s friends.



“Miss Mead, this is a little birthday gift that my wife and I got for you. Happy birthday.” Wesley passed
Hannah the gift with a smile.

Hannah darted a glance at Catherine who was beside him. “Your presence is enough. Why did you bring
your wife over?”

Hannah’s tone clearly indicated that she was not happy with Catherine’s presence.

Senator Mead’s face darkened. He told Hannah off, “

How dare you say that?! Madam Lyons is a few years older than you and the chairwoman of a listed
company. She’s also Miss Lynch’s best friend. It’s your honor that she’s here for your birthday party.”

After pausing for a moment, Hannah said, “I’m sorry, Madam Lyons.”

“It’s fine. I understand. Previously when I held birthday parties like this, I, too, hoped that only my good
friends would come. Sometimes, one tends to feel restrained when there are too many people around.”
Catherine smiled, her words restoring Hannah’s dignity.
