Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 539

Susan Shelby felt as if she was getting giddy.

“Julian, are you trying to get yourself killed?” Rage surged into Serenity Wright’s mind as she looked at the ghastly pale Susan.

She propped up Susan while she glared at Julian Shaw ferociously. It felt as if the flames burning in her eyes were almost solidifying.

The pride in Willa Doyle’s eyes vanished as soon as it had appeared. Then, she stared at Susan piteously. “I really didn’t do it on purpose. However, when love comes, it’s really irresistible. Don’t worry, I really won’t be competing against you. You will always be Mrs. Shaw. Sister, you must know that love…”

“Don’t address me as your sister.” Susan felt as if her head was about to explode so she could not refrain from shouting.

Willa immediately looked as if she was about to break into tears. “Sister, you’re still angry at me…”

“Shut up!” Susan’s face was ghastly pale, yet her voice was firm and strong, which was a rare occasion. “Now, I’m going to speak to Julian and I don’t want to hear your voice.”

“But sister…” The more Susan was disgusted by this form of address, the more Willa addressed her as sister. She wanted to agitate Susan further.

Julian interrupted her right away. He looked at Susan and said, “Susie, it’s my bad. I can only guarantee that the position of Mrs. Shaw will always be yours.”

Susan looked at his familiar face and cracked a mocking smile. “Julian, you’re obviously trying to enjoy the best of both worlds, right? If I don’t have your heart, what’s the point of having the position of Mrs. Shaw?”

“I’m sorry,” said Julian through pursed lips.

Susan looked at him and smiled sadly. “I’m going to ask you a few questions. You will only need to answer me with a yes or no.”

Julian had yet to answer when Susan asked straightforwardly, “When I was sick and recovering in the past few days, were you spending time with Willa?”

“Yes,” answered Julian.

“Were you two together at all times?”

“Yes.”

Susan took a deep breath. “When you went on that so-called business trip previously, did you go and meet Willa?”

This was her speculation. During Julian’s previous business trip, there had been no trace of his presence whatsoever. She had asked her brother occasionally, and her brother had replied that he had no idea where Julian was either. At the time, she had assumed that this was a secret collaboration project so she had not thought much of it. However, Willa had said that Julian had gone over to get her back earlier. As a result, she had come up with this question.

Julian pursed his lips and then said slowly, “Yes.”

Susan’s smile turned even sadder as she said shakily, “Alright, very well. My last question is… You love her, right?”

One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed.

Willa looked at Julian nervously.

“Yes,” admitted Julian at last.

“Julian.” Susan looked at him. “I used to tell you that if you betrayed me, I would leave and I wouldn’t look back again. Do you remember?”

“Yes, I do…” Julian’s voice sounded rather deep.

“So, let's have the final confirmation.” Susan suddenly smiled. “Are you really with her?

“Sister, we are together, but Julian has never thought of divorcing you all this time.” Willa chimed in.

Was the Julian before her eyes really the Julian in her mind?

Susan looked at him calmly as if she was trying to sear this person into her memory.

Soon, she turned around and left without uttering a word.

She left with resolute steps as if the devil was standing behind her.

Serenity still wanted to quarrel with Julian initially. However, upon seeing Susan’s departure, she could not help glaring ferociously at Julian and Willa. “Just wait. I won’t let you two get away with this.”

After retorting ferociously, Serenity chased after Susie and left.

Julian stood at the door and watched as Susan left without even blinking.

He waited until Susan’s silhouette vanished. Only then did his tightly-clenched fists loosen slowly.

Perhaps he had been clenching his fists too tightly earlier because as soon as he relaxed, his hands dropped to his sides weakly.

“Julian…” Willa raised her head to look at Julian and said in grief, “Serenity is really brutal. My face…”

Julian looked at her swollen face expressionlessly and then said nonchalantly, “The Wrights have always been like this, don’t you know that? Now that you know that the Wrights are savages, don’t provoke them again.”

Willa’s expression changed ever so slightly. Judging by Julian’s behavior, he was not planning to seek revenge on her behalf.

She could only bite her lower lip, feeling aggrieved. “Noted.”
