Aligning with Susan's gaze, Julian's eyes suddenly became dangerous.
'This woman, I don't think she will...She...she dares!'
Susan pursed her lips and instantly removed her wedding ring. She placed the ring on Isla's palm. "For you."
'This woman really has the guts!' Julian's expression changed immediately. 'It's...it's your wedding ring!'
Isla's eyes subconsciously contained a flash of happiness. She looked at the terribly moody Julian.
"I have wished her and given her my present. May I rest now?" Susan looked at Julian expectantly. She did not wait for him to reply and went into the guest room.
The door closed with a loud bang.
Julian could not believe that she was throwing a tantrum at him!
'She met up with her ex-lover first! And she's angry? What in the world?!'
"Chairman Shaw, this ring..." Isla looked at the ring on her finger with a heavy heart, but she took it off and returned it to him nevertheless.
"Do you think I want what she doesn’t?" Julian's expression was cold as he took the ring and threw it into the trash can without a second thought.
Isla felt her heart and guts tremble. 'How can he throw such a valuable thing away just like that?’
After a while, to her speechlessness, Julian bent over the trash and retrieved the ring.
"Well, it still costs a few million dollars. If I sell it, I can do some charity with the money," Julian said expressionlessly.
"Chairman Shaw, you are such a great philanthropist," Isla said sincerely, really believing what Julian said.
"Very good." Satisfied with Isla’s comment, Julian kept the ring away calmly. He then looked deeply at the tightly shut door.
'She could just give away something so important like a wedding ring. This woman has no heart! But what I have given away, I will never want it back. Susan Shelby, don’t expect to be rid of me in this life.'
On this night, Susan had an exceptionally long dream. In the dream, she was being hunted by a monster, but she could only keep running.
As she was about to hit a dead-end, Julian appeared i n front of her like a tower. He said to her, "Susan, you are my woman and I'll protect you."
He then chased the monster away.
While she was overjoyed, a knife suddenly appeared i n his hand and he stabbed her viciously in the chest.
She looked at him in disbelief, but his eyes were cold." Susan, I saved you so that I can kill you with my own hands. Now, you can go to hell."
Then, Susan jolted from the dream, bathed in a cold sweat. In the past two days, she had looked aimlessly a t the ceiling in the middle of the night.
'What a realistic dream...Julian Shaw is like a puzzle. He always has candy in one hand and a knife in the other. When he's in a good mood, he'll give me candy, and when he's not in a good mood, he gives me a knife. 1
'Doesn't he know that my heart is flesh and blood?
Does he think that my heart won't hurt after being hurt by him over and over again?'
While Susan's head hurt from all those thoughts, her body was covered in sweat.
It seemed like...she had fallen a little ill. It could have possibly because she had stayed out in the strong wind last night for too long.
