Madam Shaw immediately glared daggers a t 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 t o 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 her plan as she went upstairs. She was going to scrutinize her future daughter-in-law and make sure that she at least would listen to her mother-in-law.
While Madam Shaw was engrossed in this idea, Julian bolted to the Wrights’ house as fast as he could.
In the past, the guards used to let him in directly whenever he arrived. This time, he was stopped by them when he was about to enter.
"May I ask if you have an appointment?" the guard asked sternly.
"An appointment?” Julian was surprised before he answered, "I'm Susan’s husband. I'm here to see Susan."
"Sorry, master and madam said that Miss i s currently single," the guard replied.
Julian was speechless. He took a deep breath and said seriously, "I really have a very important reason to see Susie."
"Sir, please don't address Miss so intimately. It'll cause unnecessary problems. Miss will be getting married again in the future,” said the guard.
Susan would be getting married again? Although Julian knew that the guard was just messing with him, he panicked anyway.
Gritting his teeth, he spat through them," Susan is my woman. If she doesn't come to my side, she’s not going anywhere."
"Oh? Really? Very domineering, Julian Shaw." The door to the house opened and out came an aloof George.
Julian’s eyes glowed. "Dad, how's Susie? Let me in to see her.”
"Susie's doing great.” George raised his brows.
"Dad, don't hide it from me. I know that she has a fever, but I don't know how she’s doing now. This is all a misunderstanding. I just want to see Susie and explain everything to her." Julian was nearly pleading.
"A misunderstanding? Letting your mother kick Susie out is a misunderstanding? Or is your request to divorce her a misunderstanding?" George arched his brow.
Unable to answer him, Julian clenched his jaw before speaking after a while." Regardless of what has happened, I must see Susie."
“You can try,” George said before he summoned four or five more guards over, instructing them right in front of Julian," All of you watch him properly. Do not let him take a step into the house!"
"Yes!" the guards chorused in unison.
Thanks to George’s status, these guards were members of the Special Forces. Although Julian was just an ordinary person who was relatively more skilled, George himself would probably not be able t o barge in through them.
Upon looking at the wall of guards, Julian was left speechless. He would have to build a team of 100 people to enter the Wrights' home under the current circumstances. Who would be bold enough to help him barge into the Wrights’ house?
