Julian Shaw’s speech was tainted heavily with the threat.
Susan Shelby looked at her incredulously. “Julian, what do you want from me actually?”
Susan felt that she was going to go mad soon.
It was Madam Shaw who humiliated her immensely and drove her out of the house.
Sure, she agreed to it.
She left.
Yet, when she made up her mind to leave everything behind and start fresh again, Julian appeared before her like a lingering ghost.
They wanted her to leave at times and wanted her to stay at times.
Could it be that the mother and son were trying to drive her mad?
Julian had a complicated expression as he stared at Susan’s face flushing pink from anger. He said nonchalantly, “You will only need to know that you don’t have a second choice other than behaving yourself.”
“You… What if I refuse to behave myself then?” Susan clenched her teeth.
“Your brother’s heart is not doing well. If you insist on being headstrong, then what if something happens and it triggers his disease? It’s going to be bad,” said Julian nonchalantly.
“Are you threatening me?” Susan looked at him in disbelief.
“You can interpret it this way,” Julian said without the slightest hesitation.
He would do anything to keep this woman by any means.
“You…” Susan was furious from her unwillingness to accept his dictation.
Yet, no one understood the lengths Julian would go to more than her. She truly lacked the courage to leave.
She inhaled a few deep breaths to suppress her surging emotions forcibly. “Alright, I shall stay here! Will you leave now?”
She did not wish to see this man a second longer.
“Susan!” Julian took one step forward and trapped her against the wall. “Haven’t I told you that you are not allowed to send me away for eternity?”
“You haven’t told me that before,” said Susan through her clenched teeth.
“Then I have told you now.”
“Why should I abide…” Susan was about to speak.
Julian blocked her moving lips confidently.
Susan began struggling violently this time.
Julian pinned her down with ease by pressing down on her wrists. Then, he began lashing at her wildly in her mouth.
After a long while, he freed her and raised an eyebrow. “I told you that you must behave yourself. Otherwise, what I did earlier is considered a punishment.”
“Julian Shaw! You’re shameless.” Susan’s head was about to explode from anger. “Haven’t you already found a girl that you love? Why do you still have to tease me like this!”
She wondered if he knew that his teasing would cause her to misunderstand.
The misunderstanding would be enough for her to be doomed eternally.
“This is not up to you to query.” Julian assumed a calm gaze.
“You…” Susan wanted to charge forward and bite him badly!
“Are you looking to get punished again?” Julian assumed the pose to move forward.
Susan’s expression changed drastically at once. She covered her mouth rapidly, then shook her head in a flurry of panic.
Julian felt rather amused by her expression despite his anger originally.
He could only refrain from laughing by force and feigned a cold, desolate mannerism. “It’s good that you’ve learned your lesson!”
Susan nodded repeatedly.
She did not have the courage to speak anymore but she was constantly avoiding Julian’s gaze.
It felt as if her body language was asking him when would he leave.
CEO Shaw very much wanted to stay to teach this woman a good lesson.
However, he still had many other affairs to attend to now.
For example, he had to make some people that were instigating behind him pay the price.
“I’m leaving now. You’re not allowed to get too close to Seth when I’m not around,” said Julian with a threatening expression.
Susan nodded repeatedly.
Not that Julian truly suspected that they were inappropriately engaged, the angry remarks he made earlier were due to anger. He could not help feeling his anger subsiding after seeing Susan nod without the slightest hesitation in the meantime.
Jacob Shelby was being coerced to have tea with Seth when Julian walked out of the room with Susan.
Since Susan declared her stance, Jacob nodded in agreement.
Seth was overjoyed immediately. He looked at Jacob in excitement. “Look, since you’re staying and our agreement has been signed too, the system software…”
Jacob took a glance at Seth in disdain before he said, “Come, I shall teach you.”
Both of them went over to the side to fiddle with something that Susan was not familiar with.
Susan heaved a sigh as a concerned look rippled in her eyes.
She found that she was rather confused about her relationship with Julian now.
They were husband and wife and only on namesake without the act.
The person that Julian loved was not her.
Her mother-in-law was trying to compel them to get a divorce at all times.
If they were friends, were friends supposed to kiss passionately at the slightest provocation?
Susan rubbed her lips and recalled Julian’s domineering manner earlier. She could not help feeling shy about that.
She would make sure not to give Julian the excuse to kiss her next time!
In the car, Julian took out his phone and checked the IP address of the poster that Jacob had sent.
Julian believed that the person had no idea that he had just become Julian’s target.
Thus, there was a high probability that the person was still at the same location.
Then… It was necessary for him to meet this person.
Also, there was Richard Jenkins’ mistress, Moya Jones.
She was a rather capable person. She had been contacting Jenkins Corporation shareholders constantly in an attempt to gain their support.
However, there was nothing that Moya and her son had that was worthy of their bets.
Thus, they were suffering from a setback after setback these days.
In this case, he decided to place a little bet on this mother and son.
Julian’s expression turned cold gradually. Madam Jenkins and Charlotte Jenkins were having so much fun scheming behind his back. Could it be that they thought that he would never launch a counterattack?
The best had yet to come.
