"Cathy, Cathy..."


    It was as if Shaun could not hear Catherine. He kept kissing her greedily as if it was their final kiss before separating.


    Catherine felt scared, and she was at a loss from his kiss.


    He only let her go when she almost suffocated and then hugged her tightly.


    "Cathy, I have to leave due to some matters," Shaun said hoarsely by her ear.


    Catherine was taken aback. Her whole body rxed, and her tone was cold. "Great, quickly leave. I don''t want to see you every day anyway."


    "I''lle back as soon as possible." Shaun bit her ear lightly.


    She felt as if electricity was running through her, but she could not push him away at all.


    "Wait for me."


    Shaun let her go. After staring at her with his deep-set eyes for more than ten seconds, he turned around and left the bathroom.


    Catherine stood under the shower, still stunned.


    She did not know what was wrong with that man. He was just leaving for a while. Did he have to make it look like they were going to be separated forever?


    Six hourster, Shaun''s private airnended in Canberra.


    He immediately rushed toward Hill Corporation. Although it was already 9:00 p.m.,


    not even one shareholder of Hill Corporation had left.


    What happened today was the biggest crisis ever since Hill Corporation was established.


    Old Master Hill, Lea, Spencer, Liam, and the others were waiting in the conference room.


    When the door of the conference room opened, everyone swarmed over.


    "Shaun, you must give us an exnation for this matter. Hill Corporation has lost more than 200 billion dors in a day. Even thepanies that signed a contract with us before are suing us for breach of contract. They want a sky-high amount ofpensation from us."


    "That''s right. Ourpany vowed that this would be the world''s one and only top microchip when we signed the contract. However, after the contract was signed, Landed Groupunched a simr microchip. The problem is, although we want to sue Landed Group for giarizing our microchip, all the rted


    information in theb has been deleted."


    "If this matter isn''t solved, the wholepany will be forced to stop operating after having to pay the huge amount ofpensation for the breach of contract. Moreover, most of thepany''s funds have been used to invest in the research and development of theboratory. Hill Corporation may go bankrupt."


    The shareholders in the board of directors voiced their distress and anger.


    When they heard that thepany might go bankrupt, some shareholders started scolding loudly." Shaun, this is all your fault! You were the one who insisted on wasting so much money to develop a microchip. Now, you''ve screwed all of us over."


    "That''s right. You have to carry the biggest responsibility in this matter! Besides, thepany''s reputation has been utterly ruined because you snatched Wesley''s wife. Not only did you not step out to solve the problem, but you even hid during thepany''s crucial times. As thepany''s director, you should''ve handled theunching of the microchip personally."


    "Old Master Hill, the Hill family must give us, the shareholders, an exnation today."


    Old Master Hill''s face changed from being surrounded by the shareholders. Valerie then spoke furiously.
