Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1340
When Sarah was almost done crying, the judge said to Shaun, “The plaintiff can present his statement.”
Shaun stood up and gazed at Sarah. Beneath his short black hair, his perfect, handsome face was full of sadness
and regret. “If someone asked me what first love is, I would think it’s a nightmare. I regret why I wanted to get to
know you back then. You became my light during my younger days, so I treated you like family. For more than ten
years, I gave what I could. Whether it was you or your family, I let all of you take and request anything from me. I
only got married after you went missing for a few years.
“Initially, it was just a contractual marriage with my wife. However, I gradually fell in love with her the more we
spent time together. After that, you came back, and I felt guilty toward you. In order to thank you, I was always the
first to lend a hand whenever you had a problem. But I didn’t know my actions had hurt my wife and drove her and
my kids away from me for three years.

and desperately want to stab myself to death with a knife. Because I regret it, I chopped off this finger of mine to
atone for my sins.”
He raised his finger, which was still wrapped in a bandage. Everyone was horrified.
Shaun continued saying, “In fact, I only just got to learn about the things that Thomas said earlier. I don’t think I
owe Sarah anything. I just feel sorry for my ex-wife. I used to treat her as an unscrupulous woman who was greedy
and vain, but I misunderstood her. I owe her too much.
“I’m a bloody, living example. If other men experienced the same situation as me, I want to tell you guys this. Exes
are exes. If you’re married, then you should end your relationship with them. Don’t hurt your wife.”
“The reason I want to take back the 1oo billion dollars isn’t that I need the money, but because I think she doesn’t
deserve it. A greedy woman like her doesn’t deserve to have that huge amount of money. If not, it’ll make some
bad people in society and even a group of young people think they can take shortcuts and reap benefits by
deceiving other people’s feelings.”
Shaun’s sharp eyes stared at Sarah. “I hope you’ll be able to earn money through your own abilities
and have your feet on the ground.”
After he said his last sentence, Sarah’s face was as pale as snow.
Shaun was incredible.
He laid down such long personal repentance of his feelings at the start and included a positive implication on
society toward the end.
That case had gotten very big, so the judge would emphasize bringing positive influences to the society.
Sure enough, the judge became solemn. After communicating with two juries for a while, she said, “After two
hearings, the court has listened to both parties’ statements. The following is the judgment of the court for this case:
“The court deems that Sarah should return the 100 billion dollars and the seaside villa to Shaun immediately. This
money isn’t yours from the start. As for all the expenses Shaun spent on Sarah for more than ten years, there’s no

brought this upon yourself. This is a lesson for you.”
The judge paused for a while before looking at Sarah. “Just now, there was a good sentence from the plaintiff.
People can’t reap benefits by cheating other people’s feelings. What you have is already something that many
others can’t have even after working hard their entire life. Don’t be too greedy. ”
“This case has ended. The court adjourns.”
After the judge left the courtroom, Sarah sat on the chair, devastated.
Her 100 billion dollars was gone just like that.
She was even told off by the judge in the courtroom. For Sarah, that was adding insult to injury.
Stevens glanced at her indifferently, and then he walked toward Shaun. “You really do deserve the title of the top
lawyer in Australia. You purposely put yourself at a disadvantage during the first hearing, right? You want to make
this case go big and let the judge notice the negative influences that this case brings. 1oo billion dollars can tempt
many people. If the judge didn’t sentence the money to you, many people would learn from Sarah.”
“That’s right, but you realized it too late.”
