Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 452

“Huh?” Lara looked at Susan curiously. “Who is it?”

“Seth.” Susan chuckled. “He only has one requirement for his other half: big boobs.”

All these years, Seth had had many women with an ample bosom around him, but in the end, no one had been able to go further with him.

Big boobs…

Lara subconsciously lowered her head and then… looked at her shoes.

She was silent for a bit before she huffed out to express her disdain for Seth. “How shallow! This Seth is too shallow a man.”

Susan chuckled.

Lara’s eyes flitted before she decided to say, “Miss Shelby, I want to take up interior design in the future too. You’re Mr. Reed’s disciple. Can you teach me if you have the time?”

“Sure.” Susan agreed, as her impression of Lara Quinton was a good one.

A bright beam spread across Lara’s face. “Thank you, Susan! Let’s exchange numbers then!”

The two of them exchanged contact information, and Lara peered at Susan longingly. “Go ahead if you have other matters to attend to, Miss Susan. I’ll contact you.”

“Enjoy your eighteenth birthday.” Susan glanced at Lara softly before leaving the place.

As soon as Susan entered the Wrights’ residence, Luna looked at her in surprise. “Susie, why are you back so soon?”

Susan arched a brow. “Mom, how did Julian buy you over?”

Both she and Julian disliked attending dinners, so how could it be a coincidence that Julian had gone to the dinner she had attended?

When she took into account the fact that Luna had insisted on her attending it, the truth was revealed on its own.

Susan was just confused, as Luna had been angry with Julian previously. Why was she suddenly helping him?

“Buy me over? It was nothing like that.” Luna’s eyes flitted around.

Susan sighed. “Mom!”

Susan coughed and continued. “No, really, Susie. I’ve just seen you being so forlorn recently and thought that…”

“Thought that I’d be happier if I saw Julian?” Realization struck Susan before her tone became lower. “Mom, it really will take me a while to put this relationship behind me, but since it’s no longer possible for us to be together, I should just get it over instead of nursing long-term pain.”

“Susie.” Luna raised her brows lightly. “Actually, Julian’s been working pretty hard to solve this…”

Luna had just started speaking when Susan jolted. “Mom, are you speaking for Julian now? Then why don’t you want to help with StarTech?”

“Uh…” Realizing that she had just outed herself, Luna dared not say another word.

Susan looked like she had caught on to something. “Jacob and Seth’s reactions were very strange too. You guys… You guys haven’t planned all this, right? Is Julian involved in your plan too? What are you guys doing?”

The group was startled when they saw Madam Shaw, but they all calmed down quickly.

One of them looked at her with a half-smile. “Speak of the devil… What? Don’t you know about StarTech yet, Madam Shaw?”

“What should I know about it?” Madam Shaw said coldly. “You better make yourselves clear. Otherwise, I’ll make you pay the price for talking behind someone’s back.”

“I’d be afraid and hold back if you’d threatened me in the past, but who do you think you are now?” A man smirked. “Besides, what we said is the truth. You forced Julian Shaw to divorce Susan Shelby and caused his career to suffer as well. This is already a joke in the entire Skyking City.”

His career was suffering? A joke?

Madam Shaw gritted her teeth. “Make yourself clear.”

“You don’t know? StarTech is doomed! Julian Shaw’s divorce with Susan Shelby angered Jacob Shelby, and he’s persuaded Seth Leeds to set up another company on their own.”

“How dare they?” Madam Shaw’s voice was piercing.

“Pft! Why not?” One man side-eyed the woman in disdain. “They have the patent of the SL System. Although StarTech has the right to use the system now, that doesn’t mean that the two men can’t venture into building their own company. Seth Leeds and Jacob Shelby’s departure won’t do much to StarTech for the time being, as the company’s clients are still around, but the Wrights and the Harris are influential in Skyking City. Julian Shaw is divorcing Susan Shelby, which is basically akin to offending both of these families. The clients who know this insider news are cancelling their contracts with StarTech now. Julian Shaw is probably in hot water. I was just wondering why you are in the mood to attend events, but it turns out you didn’t even know.”

Madam Shaw was dumbfounded as she heard this lengthy speech.

She was actually there to look for a suitable candidate to become Julian’s wife among the upper class of Skyking City. She had not expected this big news to be dropped on her.

“Impossible… This is impossible.” Madam Shaw refused to believe it.
