"Why don't you give him a call?" Seth asked curiously.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Madam Shaw’s eyes.
If Julian had been willing to answer her call, would she still have had to make a trip to the company?
As if he could read her mind, Seth scratched his head and suggested, "How about this, Madam Shaw? I'm not sure if Julian is busy with work or not, so why don’t I give him a call and see if he's available to meet you?"
When Madam Shaw heard that Seth was going to call Julian, she hastily waved her hand. "That is not necessary. Just take me up there."
Seth knew something was wrong, so he did not dare bring her up there recklessly. Therefore, he lifted one of his brows and said, "Madam Shaw, it's better if you tell me what reason you have for coming here. If you don't tell me the truth, I’m not going to take you up there to see Julian.”
Since Seth had already spoken like this, Madam Shaw gritted her teeth as a flicker o f anger crossed her face. "It is all Susan's fault. That b*tch poisoned me. I want Julian to divorce her, and he has agreed to do it. However, that thick-skinned slut has used some kind of spell on him and he went back to her again. I have the divorce agreement with me, but Julian refuses to g o through with the procedure and finalize the divorce. I'm not sure what she has told him, but he is angry with me right now. Not only is he refusing to answer my calls, but h e is also avoiding me. Seth, you be the judge. Your parents will always be the people who love you the most in this world. Julian doesn't even want to see his mother because of a woman. Don't you think that he's been blinded by love? He is..."
Madam Shaw would not stop her long tirade of complaints once she started. Jacob interrupted her coldly and said," What did you say? Julian and Susie are getting a divorce?"
Madam Shaw shot a glare at Jacob and replied, "She tried to poison me, so it's both natural and right for Julian to divorce her. The divorce agreement is here. Take a look at it if you don't believe me."
Jacob snatched the divorce agreement from Madam Shaw, his face turning ugly.
He was familiar with both Susan and Julian's handwriting, and it was true that both of them had signed the agreement.
"How is this possible?" Seth still could not calm down. The two of them loved each other to the core, so how was there even a possibility that they could get a divorce?
However, the divorce agreement was real and the signatures were indeed Julian and Susan's, so what the hell had happened?
Seth suddenly felt like he was dreaming.
Before he could recover from his trance, Jacob had already stormed upstairs.
"Jacob, wait! Don’t do anything rash yet!" Just as Seth was about to go after Jacob, Madam Shaw grabbed his arm and said," Take me upstairs, Deed. I want to see Julian."
"Erm, Madam Shaw, this is something between you and Julian, so I guess you better talk to him first."
Upon saying that, Seth shrugged Madam Shaw off and charged upstairs as well.
Madam Shaw wanted to follow him but was stopped by the staff.
She gritted her teeth indignantly.
'This is all that slut’s fault! Had she not said something to Julian, he would not have been angry with me all of a sudden.'
Madam Shaw waited downstairs for a while, but no one came down. Left with no other option, she could only stamp her feet and leave in a huff.
Slap!
The door to the office was kicked open.
Julian raised his head, ready to frown, but a shadow had already arrived in front of him.
With his arm held high and his fist clenched, Jacob threw a punch at Julian without any hesitation, only to be easily avoided by Julian.
Jacob did not say anything and went in for the second strike.
This time, Julian grabbed his fist and snarled at him angrily, "What the hell are you doing, Jacob? Are you crazy?”
"Am I crazy?” Jacob looked at Julian with bloodshot eyes. "Have you forgotten what you promised me when you took Susie's hand from me at the wedding? You said you'd take care of her all your life and protect her at all costs. I trusted you, so I handed Susie over to you. What have you done to her now?"
Julian was stunned for a moment. Deep exhaustion crept onto his face as he said,"
