Upon looking at Madam Shaw, Julian sighed slightly. "Mom, I'll ask them to go easy on you, so all you have to do right now is stay at the Public Security Bureau for a few days while I go to beg the Wrights to let you out.”
"Beg them?" Madam Shaw frowned. "Why d o you have to beg them? Don’t go, Julian."
"Don’t go?" Julian lifted his brow. "If the Wrights refuse to let you go, although it wouldn't be life imprisonment, they could a t least make you spend a few years in prison. Mom, don't you love to watch TV series the most? I assume that you should know better than anyone what life in prison is like.”
Madam Shaw's body shook a little, and she started to feel scared. She bit her lower lip, but it took her a long while to begin talking. Her voice was trembling, and her tone was laden with fear. "Have we run out of options already?"
"Exactly," Julian replied, making Madam Shaw's face turn grim.
Julian knew Madam Shaw had already started to feel scared. He raised his brow and pressed on. "Mom, if I want the Wrights to let you out, I have to show some sincerity. This incident is your fault to begin with, so I hope you can apologize to the Wrights. Besides, when it comes right down to it, George is venting his anger on you because of what we did to Susie.
Therefore, the person you have to apologize to this time is Susie." "What? You want me to apologize to Susan?" Madam Shaw frowned again. "She i s my daughter-in-law. There is no way I..." "Mom, are you saying that you don't want m e to divorce Susie anymore? You said she i s your daughter-in-law. If you still want me to divorce Susie, then she is no more related to the Shaws and doesn't have to show respect to you anymore." Julian interrupted her.
Madam Shaw clamped her jaw tight. Even though she did not say anything, she did not feel comfortable inside.
In any case, she would rather die than admit her mistake in front of Susan.
As if he could read her mind, Julian let out a sigh. "Mom, it's okay if you refuse to apologize to the Wrights. I will go and try to talk to them, but I'm not holding out too much hope. I am pretty certain that they will not say yes, and I'm not sure when I could get you out of here.
Even though Madam Shaw was afraid, her dignity did not permit her to lower her head and apologize to Susan.
Julian was not in a hurry. After he talked to Madam Shaw, he left.
Before leaving, he asked the people in the Public Security Bureau to take good care of his mother. However, no matter how meticulously they took care of her, she was a proud woman, so being imprisoned in the Public Security Bureau would be enough to make her go crazy.
Julian turned his head around to look at the Public Security Bureau. He then braced himself and left directly. No matter what, his mother owed Susan an apology. Therefore, he was going to use this opportunity to force his mother to apologize to Susan.
Even though he was worried about her as well because she was locked up in the Public Security Bureau, he had made all the proper arrangements and was certain that her life inside the Public Security Bureau would not be too hard. The trade-off would be her freedom and dignity.
After he left the Public Security Bureau, he hesitantly called Luna.
"Anything?” Luna's voice was cold. "If you want me to release your mother, then forget about it. She has to stay in the Public Security Bureau for at least a year."
"Oh? A year? I thought you guys were going for more than that. In the end, you are only going to lock her up for a year?” Julian lifted his brow.
Luna was kind of surprised to hear Julian's words. Thus, she pressed on. "What do you mean by that?"
"Mom, I don't care if you believe me or not. From now on, I will not allow anyone to bully Susie," Julian said softly. "I need your help. After this, I promise that my mom will not make things difficult for Susie anymore. Instead, she might do her best to please Susie."
