The next day.
"Can you stop following me...” Jacob Shelby had just walked out of the toilet when he found Julian Shaw waiting for him at the door. A wisp of helplessness seeped out of his icy cold face.
"Only if you tell me Susan's address," said Julian.
"No, Susie will get angry at me," said Jacob.
"Oh," answered Julian. "I shall continue to follow you then."
Jacob took a seat in front of the computer, and Julian took a seat next to him.
Jacob said, "...Can you please stop following me?"
"Only if you tell me Susan's address."
"No, Susie will get angry at me."
Seth Leeds was about to have a mental breakdown from listening to their conversation.
He scratched his head. "Both of you have been having this conversation ninety-nine times if not one hundred times, right? Are you done?"
"Judging from the current situation, it’s not done yet," said Julian calmly.
Julian would never give up on Jacob knowing that
Jacob knew Susie's current address.
Meanwhile, Julian’s phone suddenly rang.
Julian furrowed his brows. "Mother?"
"Julian, what happened to you and Susan?” Madam Shaw asked straightforwardly, "I'm now at your villa but both of you aren't home. What happened? I asked the people from the company and found that both of you aren't at the company either. Susan has even applied for leave! I called her but her phone was turned off. What is this?"
"Mother, Susie is only out traveling to clear her mind," said Julian.
"Clear her mind?" Madam Shaw scoffed. "Do you think that I don't know? She's throwing a tantrum, isn't she?"
"It's none of your business."
"Why are you still trying to hide? I’ve seen the divorce papers and that letter too!" Madam Shaw could not help feeling furious. "This woman is really petty. Do you think that she's throwing a tantrum for you? She's actually throwing a tantrum for me! It was me who made you visit Isa in the hospital. I bet she still holds grudges about this incident. Don’t tell me that this is normal for you. Even if something were to happen between you, Susan should endure it obediently. How dare you throw a tantrum, run away from home, and propose a divorce! Julian, since she has already said s o, then you should fulfill her wish too right away! I can see that Isabelle Shelby is much better than her too!”
Julian could not help frowning.
He had actually forgotten to hide these items because he was too anxious at the time. Yet, Madam Shaw had found these items.
Julian narrowed his eyes and asked suddenly," Mother, why do you suddenly think of looking for Susie?"
His mother had always thought badly of Susie. Generally, both of them would never meet each other unless there was an important family affair or a family feast.
"Hmph.” Madam Shaw scoffed coldly. "I won't be bothered to look for her, only that Isa has been constantly persuading me to treat Susan kindly during this period of time. She said that you're the one who ends up caught in the middle of our feud. I can tell that her statement makes sense so I'm planning to form a good relationship with her! I didn't expect to discover such a huge incident. You still plan to hide it from me had I not seen it with my own eyes!"
"Julian, you should listen to my advice. How can a woman as stubborn as Susan be worthy of being the Shaw family's daughter-in-law?"
Madam Shaw advised him earnestly.
The only word that Julian heard was Isabelle's name.
