Let Me Go, Mr. Hill!

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 14
Cindy took off her sunglasses to throw a sarcastic glance at Catherine. “It’s not a bad thing that you bumped into me today as I’m tired of turning you down with excuses as well. Honestly, it’s your fault that you don’t know where you stand. Must you make me spell things out for you before you finally get it?”

Catherine felt like a failure as she studied this beautifully made-up face in front of her eyes.

Both Ethan and Cindy only chose to be nice to her before this because she was next in line as the heir of the Jones family.

“Cindy, are you being serious?” Freya shouted, “Did you forget how you were bullied by Janet in the past? Or how Cathy helped you with the songs…”

“Stop trying to blackmail me using the past. She and I aren’t from the same world,” Cindy cut her off nervously. “Freya, take my advice. Some people will only bring you down. It’s best to stay away from them.”

“Shut up! Friends are supposed to support each other without hoping to get something in return. Don’t you understand that?” The fury in Freya’s tone was unmistakable.

“Forget it, there’s no point arguing with them.” Catherine grabbed Freya’s arm, her face showing no emotion. “We’re here to have a meal. Let’s go.”

Freya glared murderously at the three women before being led away by Catherine.

“Cathy, has that woman lost her mind or what? You’ve been nothing but a great friend to her. Cindy wouldn’t be where she is today without your help. Has she forgotten how Janet used to bully her? I regret not realizing Cindy’s true colors before this.”

Catherine lowered her gaze to the ground. Her delicate and pretty face remained nonchalant.

“Cathy, aren’t you angry? Don’t you want to criticize her?”

“Of course I do, but what good would it do?” The corners of her lips twitched into a self-deprecating smile. There was a hint of sorrow that flashed across her eyes. “But this is the reality of things. Look, both my birth parents are completely disregarding me while Ethan, who basically grew up with me, has abandoned me. I’m jobless, homeless, and unloved. Cindy is not the only one treating me like this.”

Freya looked at her friend, feeling both sorry and angry.
