Jul... Julian!
All at once, everyone had a different reaction to the situation.
Seth Leeds stood up instantly with a look of slight panic in his gaze. "Young Master Shaw, the matter is not what it seems!"
"So what is it then?" Julian looked at him through narrowed eyes.
Before Seth could answer him in time, Jacob Shelby was already staring at him furiously.
"You've betrayed me!"
Seth had obviously promised Jacob that he would never expose their whereabouts. As a result, Julian was already standing at the doorway in less than an hour.
Seth waved his hand repeatedly. "No, no. I wasn't planning on telling him, it was just a slip of the tongue n
"So you were planning to hide this important matter from me originally despite our long-term friendship?” said Julian Shaw coldly.
"No. I wanted to tell you supposedly but uh uh..." Seth tried to explain himself.
"Just a slip of the tongue huh, do you think I will believe you?" Rage tainted Jacob's crystal clear eyes o n a rare occasion.
Seth looked at Julian with an icy cold expression standing on his left then looked at Jacob with a furious expression who was standing on his right.
'Oh oh oh oh, what's happening here?' He was a man o f ideals, moral integrity, culture and discipline yet how did he suddenly sink into this desperate situation that he could not please both sides?
Seth said in a slightly angry manner, "I don’t care. All three of you can communicate with one another."
He slumped against the sofa instantaneously and assumed a lazy, distracted posture. His eyes shifted constantly between the three people.
Jacob looked at Julian calmly. Then, he grabbed hold o f Susan's hand. “Susie, let's go."
Susan’s gaze did not meet Julian's gaze from the start.
She lowered her head and did nothing as Jacob tugged her to walk to the outside.
Meanwhile, her other arm was suddenly tugged by someone else.
Susan did not look at Julian but she said in a deep voice, "Let go of me!"
"Let go of Susie, you," Jacob frowned and said in a rather serious manner.
"So what if I won't let go?" Susan and Jacob's vigilance turned Julian's voice colder.
Jacob's brows furrowed tightly.
He looked at Julian's arms that were albeit not considered thick but appeared powerful and then looked at his skinny, weak little claws.
He reached a conclusion in his heart. If he were to confront them by toughness, he was not a worthy opponent for Julian.
Jacob then looked at Seth to which Seth rapidly shifted his gaze.
It was impossible for Seth to help out too.
Jacob pondered attentively then said with a solemn expression, "I will call the police if you don't let go of her."
"Call the police?" Julian raised an eyebrow. "What crime are you planning on reporting?"
"Forceful seizing of a woman?" said Jacob with uncertainty.
Julian:"..."
Susan:
Seth:"..." 4
Julian inhaled a deep breath and said, "Aside from this crime being nonexistent, even if there is such a crime, Susan is my wife! It’s not considered forceful
seizing regardless."
Jacob was confused for a moment ever so slightly. "Is that so?’
However, even if that was the case, he would never allow Susie to return to the Shaw family that made her unhappy.
"All and all, Susie won’t be returning with you," said Jacob.
Julian looked at Jacob calmly and said, "It's fine for m e not to take Susie with me, but I wish to talk to her in private."
"Are you really not going to take Susie back?" Jacob's tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.
He felt relatively at ease with Julian. At the very least, Julian had never bullied Susie before.
However, if they were to return to the Shaw family home, that malicious woman would certainly bully Susie.
