The news caused great commotion across Australia.
When the market opened at noon, Hill Corporation’s stock plummeted 20 points.
Catherine could not imagine how tumultuous Hill Corporation was right now.
She tried to call Shaun, but he did not pick it up. Hence, she called Hadley. That was when she learned Shaun had been arrested by the authorities for investigation.
"Miss Jones, Young Master Hill asked you not to come to our office for the time being. Our office is currently flooded with reporters, as well as a group of business partners, who are kicking up a fuss," Hadley said helplessly.
"What on earth is wrong with the product?" Catherine asked anxiously.
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with it. It is merely a pretense used to make Hill Corporation's stock prices fall so that it would collapse." Hadley explained gloomily, "You can ask Young Master Hill for further details."
Catherine was not in the mood to ponder over it, so she headed back to the Hill family’s manor early.
Only at 7:00 p.m. did she receive news about Shaun's return.
She rushed to the main hall and discovered that Old Master Hill, Old Madam Hill, and Lea, who was just discharged from the hospital, had come to the manor. Even Brennan, who originally planned to leave the country, was here.
"Hadley told me that you were pulled in for investigation. Are you alright?” Catherine walked up t o Shaun and held his hands.
"I'm alright. They just kept trying to probe me." Shaun pulled Catherine over and seated her beside him. His handsome face looked calm. "But I'm not the sort who can be easily bullied."
