"Sure.” Susan laughed and answered, "I will certainly attend the media launch of the phone system developed by both of you. Seth, I believe that the brand name SL is formed by your initials and my brother’s initials, right?” 1
"That's right,” Seth Leeds burped. "The system is mainly produced from your brother's contribution actually. However, Jacob shamelessly insisted on adding my initial as well, so what can I do? I feel very helpless too."
Jacob Shelby could not refrain himself from rolling his eyes at Seth. "It was you who shamelessly insisted on that obviously...”
Seth threw himself forward, covered Jacob’s mouth, then he smiled shyly at Susan Shelby. "He's too full from the meal so he's started to spout nonsense.”
Susan could not help but burst out laughing from watching these two people fighting.
They fought for a while before Seth loosened his grip over Jacob.
Jacob shot a side glance at Seth. He did not comment any further but he looked at Susan in seriousness." Susan, the system is almost complete. I'll be able to make a living soon. By then, I'm going to hurl the money at Madam Shaw's face and make her apologize
to you." 1
Jacob's gaze revealed his unwavering determination.
Susan could not help feeling warm and fuzzy in her heart.
She did not try to persuade him, but on the contrary, she nodded strenuously.
The act of seeking justice for her was the motivation o f her brother’s hard work. She did not wish to discourage her brother's kind intention.
Jacob's expression softened as well.
To him, Susan was the most important person in his life.
Everything he was doing now was for Susan. 4
Even though Julian treated Susan very well now, Madam Shaw always regarded Susie as someone inferior to her.
Jacob wanted to take that pathetic sense of superiority from Madam Shaw!
"Susan, you must remember to come then. Jacob and I are going to send a few more invitations to a few important people." Seth chuckled and said, "We might be a little busy for the next few days."
"Hmm, don't tire yourselves out too much," said Susan concerningly.
"Don't worry,” said Seth smilingly.
Susan got up and sent them to the door.
Jacob took the lead to walk out first while Susan held Seth back on purpose.
"What’s going on, Susan?" Seth looked at her, confused.
Susan cracked into a gentle, charming smile. "Thank you, Seth."
"Why are you thanking me?" Seth made an exaggerated shock expression. "Susan, there's no need to thank me intentionally for helping you to finish up the leftover pasta, right?"
His expression was so exaggerated that it amused Susan once again.
Susan laughed for a while before she seriously said, " Seth, I really have to thank you. I can see that my brother is much livelier than in the past. All this is due to your contribution."
Susan spoke so seriously that it made Seth rather embarrassed. He scratched his head shyly. "I ought to. Jacob is my gold mine now."
At the end of his sentence, Seth squinted his eyes and assumed a moneygrubber's expression.
Susan could tell that Seth felt embarrassed so she could not help chuckling, "All in all, I know it in my heart. Go ahead and get busy then."
"Alrighty." Seth was blushing all the way to his ears when he left. It could be said that he had never been thanked by anyone like this before in his life.
This made Susan laugh in her head for a long time.
Susan handed Julian Shaw the invitation card when h e came home at night.
Julian's expression grew a little dimmer when he read the words, '...and her spouse.'
