The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 176

Julian did not say anything in the end, and Susan forced down the question back to her stomach pit.

After half an hour, Isabelle came in.

Susan felt ridiculous. She had no idea why both of them had to go to this extent to keep their relationship a secret.

She had told Julian before that he should tell her if he fell in love with someone else, and she would leave him without any hesitation.

However, he chose to lie to her. He told her to stay away from Isabelle, yet he approached Isabelle himself, betraying her trust again and again.

Initially, she thought she would certainly have a fall out with Julian, but when things came to a head, she shrunk back.

She was afraid that the answer that came out of Julian's lips might not be the answer she wanted. If that really happened, what should she do by then?

Considering her personality, she should turn around and walk away. She would never look back anymore a s her pride and her tenet would not allow her to do so.

However, if that person was Julian, Susan found that she did not have the confidence to break off their relations.

Her heart hurt as if someone was stabbing her with a knife when she thought about leaving the man.

A bitter feeling rose from her heart. It had just been a few months and she was deeply in love with Julian.

Initially, she thought the feeling was mutual. But reality had given her a slap in her face.

"Susie," Isabelle came up to Susan, her face full of affection as she asked, "Are you not feeling well? You look pale. Come, let me give you a massage. I'm quite good at it. Even Madam Shaw praised my skill."

As she was talking, she stretched her arm forward.

"Don’t worry, Isa. I'm fine," Susan pushed her away.

"It's okay, Susie. It won't take too long," Isabelle pressed on.

"I said leave me alone!" Susan's voice raised a full octave when the scene of Isabelle hugging Julian came into her mind. In a fit of anger, she pushed Isabelle away once more.

She did not push her too hard, but Isabelle wobbled a little and fell onto the desk. Her head hit the corner of the desk and she shouted out in pain.

Everything happened so fast that Susan was stunned. Before she could come around to her senses, a stern voice erupted behind her.

"What are you doing, Susan?!"

Susan turned around and saw Madam Shaw was

walking down the stairs. She made a few quick steps t o them and helped Isabelle up from the floor.

Rubbing her forehead, Isabelle said weakly, "It's not Susie’s fault, Madam Shaw. It's me who lost my balance and fell down."

"Why do you still have to stick up to her, Isa? I saw it with my own eyes. She's the one who pushed you down," Madam Shaw said as she glared at Susan. "I've always known that you’ve always been a bad woman, Susan. You’ve finally revealed your true self now! Ask yourself, Isa is your cousin. Has she ever done anything bad to you? Why do you have to push her down? She could've died if she fell on her head!"

Madam Shaw's gaze was so intense it seemed as if she was going to swallow Susan.

Susan bit her lower lip and said stiffly, 'I'm sorry."

She could not be sure how hard she pushed Isabelle just now. Perhaps she really had gotten the best of her anger and pushed her too hard.

Madam Shaw was even more furious. "Is this how you apologize to people, Susan?”

Susan set her jaw tight and refused to say anything more.

One apology was all she could manage to say.

"Mom, Susie didn't push her that hard just now," Julian chimed in, his brows frowned.

"You...” Madam Shaw turned her head and stared

angrily at Julian, "Julian, right is right and wrong is wrong. This time, it's Susan's fault. You have to stop siding with her."
