“Susie!”“Mommy!”Two gasps echoed simultaneously.“Grandma, mommy… What happened to mommy?” Chesney’s eyes reddened immediately as she looked at Susan, who had fainted.“Chessie, it’s okay. Mommy’s sleeping because she’s too tired.” Luna kept Susan in her arms while she comforted Chesney and instructed the chauffeur to drive them home to the Wrights’ house as fast as possible.As she was staring at Susan’s pallid face, Luna felt her heart ache immensely for her.‘Susie, please be alright.’Upon returning to the Wrights’ house, Luna asked their private doctor to come instantly. The Wrights’ private doctor was exclusively working for the military, so he was exceptionally professional. Given Luna’s haste and anxiety when she summoned him, he thought that something serious had happened.In the end, he could not help sighing in relief after performing a simple checkup with his portable device.“Mrs. Wright, no need to worry. Your daughter has probably fainted suddenly due to her w

Madam Shaw immediately glared daggers at Willa. “An outsider like you has no say in the family affairs of the Shaws.”She intended to pursue Julian, but he was nowhere to be seen. Madam Shaw could only take several deep breaths to suppress her resentment. She had used suicide as a threat to finally make Julian promise to divorce Susan.Although he had agreed, he had to hold a grudge against her in his heart. If she pushed him too much, it would be detrimental if Julian loathed her. Despite that, Madam Shaw could not allow Julian to be involved in this issue.Susan Shelby was the best at acting soft and meek. If she wrapped Julian around her fingers again, it would be an additional nightmare.Madam Shaw thought quickly.Once the certificate of divorce was issued, the first thing she would do was find a good woman for Julian! When he had someone gentle, soft, and sensible, an old flame like Susan would not affect them anymore.Ignoring Willa, Madam Shaw contemplated the details of

“Yes.” The servant promptly went to carry out the order.Susan wanted to refuse but did not even stand a chance.Luna sat by the bed and held Susan’s hand in hers. “Susie, do you know what a scare you gave me when you fainted? How could you strain yourself when you already can’t take it…”As Luna nagged her, Susan felt a sense of warmth while looking at her worried face.“Mom.” Susan took Luna’s hand in hers instead and started speaking in a soft voice. “Don’t worry, I’m fine now. Where’s Chessie?”Luna replied just as gently, “She stayed a long time by your bedside and just went to sleep.”When her daughter was mentioned, there was a flash of pain in Susan’s eyes.Chessie had yet to find out what had happened between her daddy and mommy. Susan had always wanted to give her the best of everything in this world, yet she could not even provide her with a complete family.The memory of Julian requesting a divorce was replayed in her mind, and she felt a pang in her heart once more

“Susie.” Flashes of unprecedented exhaustion and despair appeared in the pits of Julian’s eyes. “That’s my mother. If I let her go about her way, she’ll kill herself.”“Yes, that’s your mother.” Susan stared at Julian, a mocking tone slowly tinting her eyes.Susan’s expression suddenly threw Julian off.He grabbed her hands. “Susie, we aren’t really divorcing. I can forge a certificate of divorce and deceive mom. I have clues about the poisoning case too. When the truth is revealed, everything will be fine.”Susan drank in Julian with her eyes quietly. She loved this man deeply.He had said that he did not really want to divorce her. He had said that he only wanted a fake divorce to outwit Madam Shaw.Why then… Why did Susan only feel endless despair?Susan’s silence unnerved Julian. “Susie… I promise that I won’t let you bear this for too long.”A small smile finally appeared on Susan’s face as she kept her eyes on him. “You won’t let me bear it for too long. Julian, should I

Luna’s remarks pierced Julian’s heart like blades.A hint of helplessness crossed Julian’s weary eyes. Right now, he felt that his fake divorce proposal was truly a terrible idea. Initially, he had thought this plan would be a win-win situation. However, Madam Shaw was the only one who would benefit from this idea, while Susan and Chesney were getting the short end of the stick.Luna’s heart went out to Julian when she saw how despondent he was. Julian was quite a good man. It was just that she did not understand why his mother was like that. Shouldn’t all parents want the best for their children? She had never come across a mother like Madam Shaw, who was so obsessed with pushing her own son into a tight corner.That said, Luna still put the well-being of her daughter above everything else, no matter how much she sympathized with Julian. Thus, she bit the bullet and said, “Since you have chosen between Madam Shaw and Susie, then you shouldn’t come and bother Susie anymore. Don

“Why don’t you give him a call?” Seth asked curiously. A hint of embarrassment flashed across Madam Shaw’s eyes. If Julian had been willing to answer her call, would she still have had to make a trip to the company? As if he could read her mind, Seth scratched his head and suggested, “How about this, Madam Shaw? I’m not sure if Julian is busy with work or not, so why don’t I give him a call and see if he’s available to meet you?”When Madam Shaw heard that Seth was going to call Julian, she hastily waved her hand. “That is not necessary. Just take me up there.”Seth knew something was wrong, so he did not dare bring her up there recklessly. Therefore, he lifted one of his brows and said, “Madam Shaw, it’s better if you tell me what reason you have for coming here. If you don’t tell me the truth, I’m not going to take you up there to see Julian.”Since Seth had already spoken like this, Madam Shaw gritted her teeth as a flicker of anger crossed her face. “It is all Susan’s faul

“So, are you in or not?” Julian looked at Jacob. Jacob lifted his brow and said, “You’re giving me a chance to punish you, so why not?”Julian replied in a serious voice, “Thank you, Jacob, for everything.”Jacob sneered, “Don’t get me wrong. The reason I’m agreeing to help you is that I want to punish you myself. It doesn’t mean that I’m on your side by any means.”Julian’s eyes dimmed and he relapsed into silence. After a short while, he said, “I understand. This is all my fault. I’m certain that the situation would not have been this bad if I had handled it differently. I’m sure that Susie is still angry with me right now. If you see her, remember to tell her to take care of herself.” “Don’t shed crocodile tears in front of me. It’s disgusting.” Upon saying that, Jacob walked away. Scratching his head, Seth said, “This… Julian, are you sure you want to do this?”“Yes.” Julian nodded as determination flared in his eyes. “I promised that I will not let Susie suffer even the

George gestured for the guards to stop. Then, he admired the contorted expression on Madam Shaw’s face as he said, “What are we doing? We’re sending you to the police station, of course! Could it be that not only you lost your heart, but you’ve lost your hearing as well?”Madam Shaw was livid with rage. “Wipe that smug smile off your face, George. Sending me to the police station? What have I done wrong that you have to send me to the police station? Even if you’re a marshal, you could not mess around with your power like this. Not to mention that you stepped down from your position last year!”George had retired last year since he was at the expiration of his term of office last year. Even though everyone was still habitually calling him marshal, he did not have any power as the marshal anymore.Therefore, this was the reason Madam Shaw dared to raise her voice at George. If George was still the marshal, she would definitely not dare to chase Susan away so brazenly.In her vision,

After Madam Shaw arrived at the Public Security Bureau, what awaited her ahead was a torturous chain of interrogation.On the other side, everyone was worried about Susan. They did not know whether Susan was really that tough or just putting on a strong front to hide her true feelings.“Mommy, I already got my ribbon. Let’s go.” Chessie’s voice wafted into their ears as she hopped out of the mansion.“Alright. Let’s go, then.” Susan smiled and scooped her up from the ground.Jacob looked at Susan and suggested, “Susie, why don’t we cancel our plan and stay in the house today?” ”Why?” Susan smiled. “Is it because of Madam Shaw? I’m no longer the daughter-in-law of the Shaws, so it’s none of my business what happens to her.”“Yeah. We don’t care about her anymore,” Luna said, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.Truth be told, even though she had said a lot of bad things to Julian, she deeply believed that Susan would not give up on Julian, just like how Julian would not

Upon looking at Madam Shaw, Julian sighed slightly. “Mom, I’ll ask them to go easy on you, so all you have to do right now is stay at the Public Security Bureau for a few days while I go to beg the Wrights to let you out.""Beg them?" Madam Shaw frowned. "Why do you have to beg them? Don't go, Julian.""Don't go?" Julian lifted his brow. "If the Wrights refuse to let you go, although it wouldn't be life imprisonment, they could at least make you spend a few years in prison. Mom, don't you love to watch TV series the most? I assume that you should know better than anyone what life in prison is like.” Madam Shaw’s body shook a little, and she started to feel scared. She bit her lower lip, but it took her a long while to begin talking. Her voice was trembling, and her tone was laden with fear. “Have we run out of options already?” “Exactly,” Julian replied, making Madam Shaw’s face turn grim.Julian knew Madam Shaw had already started to feel scared. He raised his brow and pressed
