"Well... I'm Shaun's girlfriend. Isn't your tone now disrespectful to me? Or is it because I'm not Sarah, so you hate me and treat me with hostility. You even looked down on Elie for protecting me. Maybe you’ve protected Sarah for so long that you now see her as your true master?" Catherine raised her eyebrows. She had hit the nail on the head.
"No." Yael's face went pale.
In Liona, the most taboo act was disloyalty to the Hill family, and the consequences to that were very serious. "Ms. Jones, why are you slandering me like this? I have no grudge against you. I'm just a lowly bodyguard."
"You're a member of Liona, so you're not as simple as a bodyguard. You think too little of yourself." Catherine smiled and asked Shaun, "May I be so bold as to ask you a question? How long has Yael protected Sarah?"
Shaun frowned. "Including the time before Sarah disappeared, around seven or eight years."
"Seems like she has been protecting Sarah since she was very young." Catherine pointed out. 1
Yael quickly understood her point. "Although I’ve protected Ms. Neeson for a long time, it has nothing to
do with time. I obey Liona's commands."
Shaun rubbed his brows. He suddenly realized that he had been negligent. Since Sarah used to be the most important person to him, he told Liona to arrange for the most attentive person to take care of her. That was Yael.
Later, after Sarah returned, he said he wanted to arrange a bodyguard for her. Sarah proposed the bodyguard to be Yael because she was familiar with her, and so, he agreed.
However, he had forgotten that the longer two people were together, the easier it was for them to develop their master-servant relationship. It was just like Elie and Aunty Yasmine with Catherine.
Yael had been with Sarah since she was as clean as a blank sheet of paper, so Sarah naturally meant more t o her than normal.
"Yael, that’s enough. It's a fact that you hurt Catherine behind my back. You'll have to accept Liona's punishment," Shaun ordered coldly.
"Can I do it? I'm a girl, so I'm not used to seeing all those blood and injuries. I don't like violence." Catherine's voice was soft and gentle. It made people want to listen to her.
"What do you want to do?" Shaun asked indulgently.
