The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 454

The next day, Madam Shaw went to the Wrights on the dot again, bringing with her news of Julian being sick.

When the guard went in to inform the family, Susan was quiet for a bit before deciding to meet the woman.

As Madam Shaw came in swiftly, she was met by Susan's overly calm gaze.

"Madam Shaw, sit down and have a cup of tea," Susan said faintly.

Pressing her lips together. Madam Shaw sat opposite Susan before saying eagerly," Susan, you know about StarTech, right? You and Julian were husband and wife. How could you be cruel enough to do such a thing?”

Susan knew that StarTech's trouble was just a ploy, so her gaze did not reveal too much emotion. "You’re here to tell me about this?”

Madam Shaw gritted her teeth when she saw how impassive Susan was being." Julian is sick now because of the company! Susan, do you really not care at all?"

There had still been a drop of emotion in Susan's heart when she’d heard about Julian being ill just now, but now that she was informed that he was sick because of handling the company's issue, she could not help arching a brow.

Since the company's issue was just a ploy, he was probably not even sick.

Susan raised her brows with a small smile. "Madam Shaw, you’re puzzling me. Aren't you the one who forced Julian to divorce m e? What are you trying to do by asking me t o show concern for him now?"

Madam Shaw scoffed. "What I mean is that your certificate of divorce hasn't been issued yet. Go visit Julian. As long as he's fine and healthy, I won't hold you accountable for what happened before this. Stay together."

Madam Shaw's matter-of-fact statement caused Susan to chuckle.

"You won't hold me accountable?" Susan looked at Madam Shaw with a smirk. "Too bad I want to hold you accountable. Sorry, it's impossible for me and Julian to be together now.”

"You..." Madam Shaw's eyes flared with anger. "Susan Shelby, you've asked your family to do so much just to threaten Julian into reconciling with you, no? I know what your purpose is, and I’ll give it t o you, you’re quite capable. You win this round. That’s why I’m sitting here! I'm giving you the ladder now, so you better come down from your altar. Don’t step over the line. If you overdo it, aren't you scared that Julian will resent you?"

"Since we've decided to become strangers, does it matter if he resents me or not?" Susan commented nonchalantly. "Alright, you can leave now. Don't come here again i n the future. I’m doing well now, so I don't wish to be disturbed."

Susan's indifference shocked Madam Shaw.

She had expected that Susan would be instantly elated once she announced that they did not have to divorce, but the reality was the exact opposite of what she had imagined.

Madam Shaw was frozen. With a raise of her brow, Susan asked the guard to come i n immediately and take her away. When the guard walked over, Madam Shaw broke out of her trance. She could not help glaring at Susan. "Are you really going to be so ruthless? Susan Shelby, I'll apologize if that's what you want."

"Your apology is still saved in the recorder," Susan said calmly. "Besides, this is between Julian and me. It's got nothing t o do with you."

The guard stepped forward to tug Madam Shaw away. The latter was completely taken aback now.

Her stern gaze was instantly replaced by a n anxious one. "Susan, I’ll plead you. I'm pleading with you, okay? Julian's life has been smooth sailing since he was a small child. He's never encountered such a huge setback. I'm really worried about him..." Susan stayed quiet as she was watching the guard haul Madam Shaw away.

Taking in her impassive gaze, Madam Shaw gritted her teeth. She was going to kneel down before Susan. If it were not for the guard, her knees would have touched the floor.
