Chapter 1497

“He seems to have offended someone terrifying.

Even my godfather can’t go up against that

person, ” Freya interrupted her and said with a hint of helplessness.

Catherine’s brain went abuzz with noise.

Shaun and she had gone through so much to be able to get to where they were now. Mason went to jail
and they could finally finish Wesley off, but now, they had apparently offended an even more terrifying
person.

Who was it?

She was incredibly tired and at a loss.

Whether it was Shaun or herself, it had not been easy for them to reach this point.

“Are you okay?” Freya asked with concern.

“I don’t know, Freya. I’ll go to Hill Corporation and take a look, ” Catherine said tiredly.

After hanging up the call, she made a detour to Hill Corporation.

Currently, reporters were clamoring outside of Hill Corporation. Hence, Catherine entered from the
parking lot. When she reached the top floor, she saw several people in blue uniforms walking around
with several boxes.



The company employees stood on two sides until someone from the secretary’s office noticed her. “
Miss Jones…”

“Where’s President Hill?” Catherine asked.

“President Hill and a few directors are inside.” The secretary led her in.

In the large office, Shaun, Lea, Spencer, and various directors were present. They all had unpleasant
expressions on their faces.

“President Hill, I hope that you can find out about the situation from Senator Snow as soon as
possible,” one of the directors said, “No matter what, Hill Corporation is suddenly being investigated
with great fanfare for no reason.

Reporters are swarming outside the company. What will others think about Hill Corporation?”

“Damn it, what’s happening to Hill Corporation this year? It wasn’t easy to bring down the Campos
family and climb up again, but now we’re being investigated again. Many companies have called to



ask about the situation. We’ve signed so many contracts. If all the work is delayed again like last time,
we’ll really lose everything this time.” Spencer also lost his temper.

“Everyone, go back and rest for now. I’ll personally go over to look for Senator Snow later, ” Shaun said
in a low voice.

When the directors left one after another, Catherine walked over to Shaun’s side. “Why didn’t you tell
me about such an important matter?”

“I didn’t want you to overthink.” Shaun cradled her hand gently in his large palm.



Catherine frowned at him. “I found out anyway. Freya called me earlier and said that… we might have
offended someone terrifying. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to solve this. We both know that the biggest
fear in the business world isn’t competitors but investigations…”

Especially an investigation that happened without reason.

If anything was found, it could make the company lose its reputation and its stock price plummet—
even causing the company to be delisted.

Especially Hill Corporation, which had just launched new products. It would cause many companies
that originally wanted to cooperate to avoid Hill Corporation instead.

“Cathy, don’t let your imagination run wild. I’ve experienced all sorts of things to get to where I am
today.” Shaun’s handsome face smiled. “You have to believe in me.”

“Shaunny…”

Catherine’s red lips parted. She suddenly froze when a thought flashed in her head.

“What’s wrong?” Shaun asked softly.

“I remembered something, ” Catherine said, “Freya said that Patrick was released on orders from the
executive council, and now Hill Corporation is being investigated. I’m wondering if these two matters
are connected. In this country, the only force that the Snow family is powerless against is the executive
council.”

Shaun frowned. After a moment, he said, “I didn’t think about the Jackson family, but your words have
reminded me. Cathy, go to the company. I’ll go to the Snow residence…” “I’ll go with you.” Catherine
immediately stood up. “Shaunny, I want to face this with you. If you can’t overcome this hurdle, I’ll have
to leave your side.”
