Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 453

“Ask Julian Shaw and you’ll know if it’s impossible or not,” one man said nonchalantly.

“Right, I’m going back to ask him,” Madam Shaw announced and left in a hurry.

She went to StarTech straightaway. She was mentally prepared that Julian was not going to see her, so she was surprised when Julian allowed her in directly.

“Julian, what’s going on? What happened to StarTech?” Madam Shaw asked impatiently.

Julian rubbed his tired eyes. “Mom, you found out? Don’t worry, I can solve it.”

“Jacob and Seth really had a fallout with you over that woman?” Madam Shaw asked in disbelief.

“Mom, stop asking questions,” Julian replied.

Madam Shaw stamped her foot, her eyes flashing with rage. “Are those two crazy? StarTech is raking in revenue. How much are they losing because they fell out with you over the woman!?”

This discord was basically harmful to all three parties.

“Jacob is Susie’s brother, and Seth’s good friends with Jacob. It’s understandable,” Julian commented indifferently.

“How could this be?” Madam Shaw still could not believe it. “Jacob and Susan aren’t related by blood, are they? Why is he doing so much for this woman? And Seth! Hasn’t he been best friends with you since he was small? Why is he taking Jacob’s side this time?”

“It’s happened. There’s no use discussing it now,” Julian said faintly.

“Julian, you…” Madam Shaw looked at her son cautiously.

“I’ll handle it, mom. I still have things to tend to. You can go back now,” Julian dismissed her.

Madam Shaw wanted to say more but left wordlessly upon taking in how exhausted Julian looked. For the next few days, she paid attention to any news regarding StarTech.

It was reported that StarTech kept doing worse as time passed. Julian’s each appearance looked more haggard than the last one.

Madam Shaw felt immensely bad for him. Since her husband’s passing, Julian had basically been the only purpose in her life. Now that she had to watch Julian teetering on the brink of exhaustion, it felt worse than death.

Wanting to help him, Madam Shaw attended various events and dinners more frequently. She did her best to connect and talk to tycoons, wishing that they could help Julian. However, they only smiled without saying anything.

Once she made an appearance now, she could hear everyone else whispering. Everyone was mocking her for forcing Julian to divorce Susan. Susan was unaffected, and loads of men were still going after her, but Julian was suffering because of her. They had never seen a mother making her son’s life as difficult as she was.

Madam Shaw could not help clenching her hands. How could she have expected that asking Julian to divorce Susan would result in this grave aftermath?

As she left a dinner in distress once more, realization struck Madam Shaw: Susan was no longer the woman she had simply stepped on in the past. Susan had been so docile that she had forgotten that plenty of people were supporting her. When these people worked together, it was enough to throw Julian off his game irrecoverably.

That b*tch was ruthless. They had been husband and wife. How could she be so merciless and allow Jacob and the others to do that to Julian?

Madam Shaw cursed in her mind but wavered, especially when she saw Julian leaving the house earlier and coming home later, looking worse for wear each time.

“There’s really no need…”

“Julian, don’t worry. I’ll persuade Susan to come back for you. The company will be fine. Fret not.” Madam Shaw looked determined.

As if finally relenting, Julian sighed. “Try it if you must, mom.”

Madam Shaw nodded and went to the Wright Mansion early the next morning. However, she did not even manage to enter it.

This time, she dared not barge in, so she kept standing and waiting at the entrance for a long time. None of the Wrights showed up. Madam Shaw spent the whole day waiting and when she left, she left with anger rumbling within her.

How dare Susan not appreciate a favor?

Madam Shaw had taken the initiative to give in. She was giving Susan a way out. She should hold on to it, yet she was turning the other way!

Feeling bad-tempered, Madam Shaw furiously decided that she was not visiting the Wrights anymore.

When she went home, however, she discovered that Julian was sick. Upon looking at his bloodless face, she felt anxious.

Julian had fallen sick too suddenly. The doctor said that it was because he had been too stressed and anxious recently. Madam Shaw pondered his words, knowing that half of Julian’s anxiety had been caused by his divorce from Susan, while the other half had been caused by the company issue. Both these factors boiled down to Susan Shelby.

Madam Shaw clenched her jaw. Fine! For her son, she had to keep visiting the Wrights! No matter how low she had to bow, she would keep pleading Susan to come back.
