Chapter 451 You’re The One Who Hurt M e

Despite the timing, Julian was still very domineering. Susan looked at him. "Why? Are you suddenly suffering from amnesia and thus decided not to go through with the divorce again?”

"Susie, listen to me," Julian said in a deep tone. "I have a solution so that mom will never oppose us being together again. She won't ever put you in a tough spot either. I already have some clues about the culprit behind the arsenic poisoning as well. My men are investigating in Ningcheng City right now, and I believe they’ll come forward with something soon. You just need to wait a few more days. Things will get sorted out shortly."

Susan glanced at Julian, but there was no ripple of emotion in her eyes. "Julian, regardless of whether your mother opposes us or not, we can't possibly get back together."

She still loved him and longed for him, but when something happened, there was no turning back. Susan was unable to forget.

"Susie, why?" Susan's collected self put Julian on edge.

From his perspective, their previous issue was Madam Shaw. As long as they did away with her, would everything not be fine? This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Why was Susie still saying that it was no longer possible for them to be together?

Susan did not answer, but a gleam of disappointment flashed in her gaze as she looked at Julian. He still did not understand why she was so angry this time.

Did he not know what Madam Shaw was always like? It was not like she had never done something worse. She had just put up with it too, had she not?

She had been prepared to bear anything as long as Julian stood by her side firmly.

This time, however, to comply with Madam Shaw, Julian was divorcing her. Although h e had said that it was all a pretense, this had crossed Susan's limit for love.

Julian could care for Madam Shaw. She was his mother after all. However, the way he cared for her could not make his wife and child suffer.

Did his decision this time not show that she and Chessie were not as important as Madam Shaw?

Susan knew that she could be considered enigmatic now, but she really could not get over it this time.

In the past, she had broken up with Luke. The car accident that Luke had been involved in had seemed to be the cause. However, even without it, they would not have lasted long together. After all, Luke had taken too long to choose between her and his mother even when it had been blatant who was right and wrong. It was this indecisiveness that had hurt the most. This was exactly why Susan's feelings for him had gradually worn out.

Later, her first roar of feelings for Julian had happened because he had been standing behind her in support all the time, firm and undivided. It had made Susan believe that Julian and Luke were different men. Her feelings had thus developed and turned into deep love.

Nonetheless, what had happened this time was enough evidence.

The reason Julian had stood by her side all this while was because Madam Shaw had not wailed, whined, and committed suicide like Madam Jenkins. Now that Madam Shaw had done the same, her honorable son Julian Shaw was just as helpless.

In the end, Julian and Luke were not any different.

In the end, she was still the one abandoned without any care.

Julian did not understand that the person who had actually hurt her was not Madam Shaw. It was him.

Susan did not even care about Madam Shaw. No matter how gravely Madam Shaw had hurt her, the most she had felt was fury. Julian, on the other hand, was her beloved. Even a small action of his was enough to send her down a spiraling abyss.

The pain in Susan’s eyes was so palpable that Julian was alarmed. "Susie, what is it?"

He really could not wrap his head around it.

"Nothing." Susan dropped her gaze and said softly, "I’ve attended dinner and given my birthday greeting. I'll be taking my leave now."

She turned to leave, but Julian caught her wrist. “Susie, wait..."

"Let me go." As Susan turned back abruptly to look at Julian, there was vaguely a hint o f an icy glint in her eyes.

Julian, who had never seen Susan being this stern, let go of her hand subconsciously.

Susan continued to depart

expressionlessly.

Julian felt his heart stutter while he watched her back. He had worked so hard t o unravel this tight knot, so why was Susan unwilling to even listen to his explanation?

What had he done wrong?

Perhaps Susie did not believe that they could solve this. Julian composed himself eventually. When everything was resolved a few days later, Susie would not be angry anymore.

Susan bid the Quintons the farewell.

Upon hearing that she was leaving, Lara blinked and shot a mirthful glimpse at Julian. "Miss Shelby, is it because of him?”

"No, something came up," Susan answered.

Lara sighed and patted her shoulder. "Miss Shelby, I understand. Love and romance... hurt the most...

Susan's initially heavy heart felt lighter thanks to Lara’s seemingly wistful exclamation despite her young age. She let out a chuckle. "You're so young but you already know about love?"

"Not for now," Lara replied seriously. "After all, I have my requirements when it comes t o men."

Susan was going to leave immediately, but she felt amused and interested in what Lara was saying, so she could not help asking, "What are they?"

"My requirements are quite particular. You really want to listen to them?" Lara was embarrassed.

"Try me," Susan encouraged her with a grin. It had been a long time since she had chatted leisurely.

Lara coughed and began speaking seriously. "Firstly, his height has to be 183 c m, not 184 cm or 182 cm. It's got to be precisely 183cm. I’ve studied it, and this height matches me the best. Secondly, he has to be a Libra. This zodiac sign matches me best too. Then, I'd like him to be multiracial. It would be best if he's mixed with more than three ethnicities. We'll get smarter children then. His eyes should be like Mark Efron’s, his mouth like Sean Cruise's, and his nose..."

Lara rambled on while Susan was befuddled.

Mark Efron and Sean Cruise and everyone else she was rattling on about were the hottest celebrities of their time. When Lara had said that her requirements were specific, Susan had not thought much of it, but as it turned out... they were truly quite specific.

Upon seeing that Lara was going on without showing any sign of stopping, Susan could not help saying, "You're really quite precise with your requirements."

"Right, I think so too," Lara said before she sighed. “I think I won’t be able to get married in this lifetime.”

Susan chortled. "Don’t think too much about it. All your requirements will actually vanish when you meet the right person."

"Impossible. I insist on my other half meeting these specific requirements," Lara said seriously.

Susan could not help the chuckle that escaped her. "It's hard to find a partner given how complicated your requirements are, but I have a friend whose requirements are very simple and he still hasn't been able to find the right person."
