"Susie? Do you mean Susan?" Charlotte Jenkins played stupid. "How would I know her whereabouts though?"
"More than an hour ago, you made a call to Susan. Afterward, she left the house and couldn't be reached until now." Julian Shaw's voice turned ghastly cold." How dare you say you don't know where she is!"
Charlotte's heart beat strongly but she still managed t o force a smile and said, "I really don’t have any idea." 3
"Very well then." Julian hung up the phone, picked up the keys, and left the house, i
Location: Jenkins' family home.
Regardless of Susan’s whereabouts, this matter was certainly related to the Jenkins family.
This was the only thing he needed to know and it was enough for him. 1
Charlotte felt rather nervous after hanging up the call.
She did not expect that Julian would react so swiftly. I f her guess was right, Julian should be rushing over to the Jenkins' family home now.
"Charlotte, what are you doing? Madam Shaw is about to arrive here. Come and join me to wait for her at the door." Madam Jenkins walked over.
"Mother." Charlotte looked over to her in a slightly anxious manner. "It’s possible that Julian is coming over too."
She wondered if this would affect their plan.
"Julian Shaw?" Madam Jenkins was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. "Isn't it even better for him to come?"
"When he finally witnesses that scene with his eyes, d o you think that he will still choose to continue to tolerate Susan?" Madam Jenkins’ gaze was so deep that it was unfathomable.
Charlotte blinked her eyes and suddenly laughed aloud. "Oh mother, you’re always the farsighted one."
"Let's not care about Julian first. Come, let's go and welcome Madam Shaw's arrival," said Madam Jenkins.
Charlotte nodded.
They waited by the doorstep for a while. In a short moment, a low key silver Lamborghini stopped at the door. 2
The driver got out of the car and opened the car door for Madam Shaw.
"Madam Shaw." Madam Jenkins smiled and hastily brought along Charlotte to welcome her.
Madam Shaw's usually serious expression softened a little. "Madam Jenkins, thank you for your invitation. I’m going to be troubling all of you today."
"It’s our pleasure to have you with us, Madam Shaw. There's nothing troubling about your visit." Madam Jenkins held Madam Shaw's hand in a friendly manner and invited her into the house.
They took their seats respectively.
Madam Shaw said slowly, "Madam Jenkins, my deepest condolences to you on Mr. Jenkins' passing. However, I urge you not to be overcome with sorrow and accept the inevitable changes."
Madam Jenkins heaved a sigh. "Frankly, I wish that I can follow my late husband’s footsteps had it not been for my son and daughter."
Madam Shaw’s gaze softened even more.
Madam Shaw had an exceedingly close relationship with Julian's father. She wished that she could leave this world with Julian’s father when he passed away a t an early age. Later on, she endured and persisted for Julian’s sake too.
She could not help empathizing with Madam Jenkins upon hearing Madam Jenkins' remarks.
