The gossipy group chat became heated with discussion too at that moment.
“What happened? Can you read that post now? Why did the post disappear just like that?
“Not only that post. The entire website has disappeared!”
“Did Ancient Fox offend somebody else?”
“It might be!”
Their attention was soon diverted to something else in the group chat. Suddenly, Susan felt that it was meaningless now as she looked at their messages.
Actually, no one cared whether the post was true or false.
The people who trusted her would always have their faith in her.
The people who did not trust her would just treat that post as a gossip. They just enjoyed the excitement it brought them when they condemned her.
Susan did not understand why they would enjoy others’ misfortunes, and she did not want to try to understand them either.
She pursed her lips and switched off the group chat.
Clearly, somebody was targeting her purposely with that post in Ancient Fox.
But who would it be.... In fact, she knew who it was.
She was soon filled with complicated feelings.
Richard’s death was somehow related to her. Maybe it was the kind of punishment that she needed to endure.
At that moment, her phone rang.
She looked at the phone screen, and soon she was shocked.
She did not dare to make her wait — she soon answered the phone.
“Mom…”
“I’ll give you half an hour. Come home immediately. I’m already here waiting for you.” Then, she hung up the phone directly.
‘Half an hour?’
Susan was nervous. She did not dare to be slow.
She applied for a leave in a hurry and rushed home.
Madam Shaw was sitting on the sofa, looking at her coldly.
“Mom.” Susan addressed her carefully. Then, she sat across from Madam Shaw.
“Take a look at it yourself. What kind of nonsense is this! You’ve humiliated us immensely!” Madam Shaw threw a newspaper at her vigorously.
Susan was stunned. She took up the newspaper and read it. She slightly paled at the sight of it.
“The identity of Chairman Jenkins’ ex-girlfriend has been exposed. It seems to be one of the employees in Lanyard Construction.”
“The rich young lady from the Ainsley family was once faced with an infamous homewrecker, and the identity of the homewrecker has been exposed.”
Susan glanced at the striking title and the content below. Certainly, it was taken from the post she had read just now.
“What more do you want to tell me?” Madam Shaw gave her a cold stare.
“What they reported is not true. When I was Luke’s girlfriend, he was not engaged to Mandy. They…”
“That’s enough. It doesn’t help even if you explain those things to me.” Madam Shaw looked at her icily. “If you’re capable, go and stop everyone from spreading the rumors about it.”
“I...” Susan bit her lips.
“Susan! When did I offend you? Why did you have to treat us so? You’re just a woman who lives in a slum. I let you marry Julian. I even treated your brother’s illness. Don’t mention other stuff. Just tell me, haven’t you led a comfortable life here this past year? Certainly, the clothes you’re wearing now are worth more than your living expenses for a few years,” Madam Shaw said.
Sometimes, she looked down on herself too.
She stayed with the Shaw family shamelessly. In fact, she was no better than a beggar.
“There’s no need for that. I’ve told Jacob about it,” Madam Shaw said coldly. “He might be done packing up his stuff by now.”
Susan looked up at Madam Shaw immediately. “Did you tell him? How did you tell him?”
No matter how badly and unfairly she was treated, she was fine with it.
But her brother could not take it given his heart condition.
Madam Shaw soon frowned. “Why are you looking at me like that? What did I say to him? Certainly, I asked him to get lost directly.”
“You…” Susan could not argue with Madam Shaw anymore. She turned around and went toward Jacob.
“Susie, can we leave now?” Jacob was already standing at the door calmly.
“Brother!” Susan rushed toward him nervously. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Jacob smiled faintly.
Madam Shaw looked at them coldly. Then, she asked, “Are you done packing up?”
Jacob remained calm. “Yes.”
“Good. Just pack up your stuff. Don’t you steal anything or do anything sneaky.”
Jacob insisted that Madam Shaw apologize to Susan before. It offended her deeply as she did not want him to have an easy life.
“Mom, you…” Susan looked at her angrily.
Jacob said nothing but opened his suitcase directly. He said calmly, “The things I brought with me were all the things Susie bought with her salary. I took nothing from you.”
