The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 450

"Look, it's Susan."

"She seldom attends any banquets.”

"It is really rare to see her here."

A murmur started spreading over the crowd as everyone put their heads together and talked about Susan. Several brave bachelors walked straight up to Susan.

Even though they annoyed Susan a lot, it would only be bad for her if she got angry o n this kind of occasion. Therefore, she could only maintain her distance as she exchanged pleasantries with them.

"Miss Shelby, as a quiet girl, I am sure that you love to read, right? I am also a book lover. Why don’t we arrange a date and go t o the library together?" a man suggested.

Susan smiled. "I'm sorry, but I am more of a sporty type." "You like sports? That’s great then. I'm a sports expert. Miss Shelby, why don't we exchange numbers? Then we can talk more about sports when we have time," another man added.

"It's okay. I have a personal trainer." Susan declined.

"Miss Shelby..." Another man chimed in. This time, a hint of annoyance flashed across Susan's eyes.

She did not know what was going on in their heads. They were all fawning over her because of her identity as the daughter of the Wrights. Most importantly, she had rejected them countless times, yet they still would not give up and kept approaching her.

In her mind, they could not even compare t o a single finger on Julian's hand.

"Miss Shelby, you look rather pale. I just bought a new private jet. Why don’t you join me and allow me to take you on a trip abroad?" Another man chimed in.

Just as Susan was about to turn down the man's offer, a stern, cold voice rang out behind them.

"Are you guys asking my wife out in front o f me?"

This voice...

Susan jerked her head over and saw Julian standing behind them, his face a dark mask of seething anger.

Susan was stunned, and a mysterious feeling flashed across her eyes.

Julian looked skinnier, although just a few days had passed. It occurred to her that the crisis at the company was quite a big blow ■ o him. Even though she had been telling herself that Julian had nothing to do with her anymore, an indescribable feeling still welled up in her heart.

"Mr. Shaw?" A man did not go away. Instead, he looked provocatively at him. ' Aren't you and Miss Shelby getting a divorce? Miss Shelby is free to choose who she wants to be with next, and I guess you don't have a say in this."

"Yeah, Mr. Shaw. If I were you, I would pay more attention to StarTech. I heard its market value has dropped again today."

All of them were taunting Julian.

Julian had been facing both internal and external difficulties recently. Those nobodies who he had looked down upon last time dared to taunt him right now.

Susan clenched her hands into fists.

Regardless of whether Julian was her husband or not, a man like him should be standing at the top and looking down on everyone. However, these people dared to talk to him with that kind of condescending attitude right now.

Susan had no idea why, but there was anger brewing inside of her.

Narrowing his eyes, Julian walked up to Susan and grabbed her hand. Then, he turned around and scanned the men crowding around Susan before saying, "I don’t think you guys should concern yourselves with the things happening between Susie and me.”

Susan was startled when Julian suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her hand. She wriggled slightly but soon gave in and allowed him to hold her hand.

Julian had been wanting to hold her hand and feel her warmth for a long time. Now that his wish had finally come true, a mysterious smile crossed his eyes.

The group of men felt somewhat awkward when they saw Susan not try to break free from Julian's grip. After a short while, they began to disperse one after another slowly until there was no one left around Susan and Julian.

"You can let go of my hand now," Susan said after taking a deep breath.
