The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 73 You Must Divorce Her

Jacob still stood there in a daze.

Julian never thought that Madam Shaw would react like that all of a sudden. He became nervous.

It was terrible!

Julian wanted to help and block the attack for Jacob, but he soon felt an excruciating pain the minute he raised his hand.

The ashtray was about to hit Jacob when all of a sudden a figure rushed to the scene and stood in front of Jacob.

A loud smash was heard.

The ashtray knocked against the person's forehead harshly.

Madam Shaw was stunned.

Julian was anxious too.

"Susie!" Julian rushed toward her spontaneously.

Susan's forehead was smashed heavily by the ashtray. Soon, there were bruises on her forehead.

"Are you okay?" Julian became quite worried about her.

"It's fine. It won't kill me." Susan tilted her head and looked at Jacob. "Brother, you're not hurt, are you?"

"No." Jacob looked at Susan. He felt sad for her.

He stretched his hand out and touched the bruises on her forehead softly.

Susan drew in a cold breath in spite of herself.

"Does it hurt badly?" Jacob was quite worried about her.

"No." Susan broke into a bright smile. "Brother, you don't have to worry about me. It doesn't hurt at all. I was just joking with you just now."

Jacob looked at Susan quietly. But he seemed to feel a lot of complicated feelings at that moment.

"Brother, can you please return to the room first? I'll come and meet you later," Susan said gently.

"But there’s a villain here." Jacob looked toward Madam Shaw.

'Villain?'

Madam Shaw did not manage to calm herself down, and she was angered again. "Do I look like a villain? Don't you know who paid for your medical fees? If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead by now. How dare you claim that I’m a villain? You're such an ungrateful and vicious person.”

Jacob seemed to understand what she said vaguely. H e pursed his lips tightly and clenched his fists gradually.

Madam Shaw sneered coldly. "Why? Do you still want t o beat me up?” "Brother." Susan grabbed his hand and made him release the tension around his fists. She looked at Jacob seriously, "Brother, just go back to your room first. Wait for me to deal with the things here. After that, I’ll come and be with you. You must trust that I'm able to face everything here."

Jacob fixed his eyes at Susan.

Susan gave him a determined look.

Then, Jacob nodded slowly.

Susan broke into a faint smile and said to Mama Jean, "Mama Jean, please help bring my brother back to his room."

Mama Jean was indeed shocked as she watched the scene before her just now. She was just too eager to leave at that particular moment.

After Jacob left, Susan turned to look at Madam Shaw.

"Now that you're here, we need to discuss something properly," Madam Shaw said coldly.

"Sure." Susan nodded. She sat across from Madam Shaw calmly. "What do you want to talk about, mom?"

"Don't you address me as your mom. I can’t stand it," Madam Shaw said pointedly.

Susan pursed her lips and changed the way she addressed her. "Then, what do you want to talk about, Madam Shaw?"

Madam Shaw replied coldly. "It's easy. I'm afraid that you can’t stay in our Shaw family anymore given what you’ve done. It’s best if you end the marriage with Julian."

'Divorce...'

Susan had mentally prepared herself for that. She glanced at Julian quietly.

Julian remained cold and solemn. He said without any hesitation, "I disagree."

Julian was filled with a resolute determination. Susan was filled with an unspeakable feeling all of a sudden.

"Disagree? Why?” Madam Shaw looked at him.

Julian said calmly, "Mom, did you forget why I married her in the first place?”

Madam Shaw was stunned for a short while. She became slightly calmer now. She seemed not so determined to force them to end their marriage now." I almost forgot about it... She's able to help to shield you from bad luck no matter how bad her character is. That's her true value."

"Yes, that’s true. I can’t divorce her even if that's the only reason," Julian added.

Susan sat beside them and listened to how mother and son talked about her value to them quietly. The unspeakable feeling which she felt just now disappeared all of a sudden.

She could not help but smile bitterly. She was hopeful just now in spite of herself when Julian refused to agree to the divorce. He was...

'Just forget about it. Why did I think about this?’

It was nothing but just her wishful thinking.

Julian once told her clearly that he was in love with someone else. 1

But whenever they spent time together, she would find herself slowly falling for him when he helped her and protected her each and every time.

So it was good for her to see the truth herself. The reason she married Julian was never a simple one. She better refrain from having too much hope. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"But..." Madam Shaw was still reluctant to accept the fact. She gritted her teeth and said, "Although it's hard to find somebody who shares the same birthday as Susan, it's not impossible. Julian, how about this?

When I find a suitable candidate, you can divorce her then!"

Julian could not help but narrow his eyes.

It seemed like his mother had made up her mind already.

In fact, it was all because of the Jenkins family.

It seemed like he needed to discover the truth about what happened at the Jenkins family that day and the incident in Bali as soon as possible.

The temporary plan now was to calm Madam Shaw down first.

"Wait till you find a better candidate, then we'll discuss it,” Julian said lightly.

Madam Shaw's facial expression became slightly better when she realized that Julian was not against i t. She stood up immediately and said, "I’ll go and find the candidate now. Julian, I'll certainly be more cautious this time around. I'll choose a good one for you.”

Julian could only nod.

"By the way, Julian, how about your hand? Don't you need to go to the hospital?" Madam Shaw said worriedly.

"It’s fine. It's only slightly swollen. It'll heal after I put some medicine on it." Julian said.

Madam Shaw then turned and looked at Susan. "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Your husband's arm is hurt. Don’t you need to help me to put some medicine on it?"

Susan remained quiet. She then went to get the first aid kit.

Madam Shaw then left in a hurry after supervising Susan tending to Julian's wound.

Susan then took the first aid kit quietly and was about to put it back in its original place.

However, Julian grabbed her hand.

Susan still said nothing. She only looked at Julian quietly.

Julian frowned, After a long while, he asked, "Have you regained your consciousness from the drug yet?"

Susan pursed her lips. "It was not a strong drug. After I took such a long cold bath, I’m fine now."

But she could not help but sneeze as she said that.

Julian wrapped his hands around hers.

It was late winter. Susan had been drenched in cold water for a long time. In fact, she was afraid of the cold. Now, her hands became much colder after going through such an incident.

Julian’s palms were rather warm. Susan felt that she was slightly warmer now.

"I won't agree to the divorce. Susan, you need to trust me," Julian said calmly.

Susan looked up at him and opened her mouth slightly.

She wanted to ask him whether the reason he refused to divorce her was because of what the great master said.

However, she did not have the courage to do so at last.' What for? Just to humiliate myself?' Susan only nodded quietly.
