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

Chapter 539 Resolute

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. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"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.

Susan's gaze turned cold as she struggled to free herself from Serenity's grip. Then, she walked over and gave Willa a slap personally. "I'm talking to Julian. There's no need for you to interrupt."

"You..." A surprised yet furious look flashed past Willa's eyes when she was slapped by Susan, whom she had despised all this time. However, she still endured it forcefully and said piteously, "Go ahead and slap me. It’s my fault for disappointing you after all."

Susan sneered once and then looked at Julian and said calmly, "Give me an answer!"

Her gaze was resolute and contained a tinge of a roaring flame-like glint.

Julian did not have the courage to meet her gaze. After a long time, he said slowly," Willa is right... Susie, you will always be Mrs. Shaw.”

The roaring flame in Susan's eyes kept burning. She used the back of her hand to give Julian a slap with a loud clap. "Julian Shaw! If there's no love, do you think that I'd still yearn for the position of Mrs.

Shaw?"

Susan’s movement was not swift, so Julian could still evade it. However, he did not move. He just took the slap.

Julian's head leaned to one side. The side of his face appeared calm, and no expression was visible.

"Susie, that was a good slap." Serenity had also walked over to glare at Julian in rage." Our Susie doesn't need the position of Mrs. Shaw! Julian, since you've betrayed Susie, it would be best if you did not intend to enjoy the best of both worlds! Wrights aren't used to sharing a spouse with other people. Since you want this b*tch, then you shall spend your life with this b*tch and set our Susie free."

Julian turned around and said in a calm voice, "That's impossible. Getting a divorce would affect too much a person of my status. I can’t possibly get a divorce."

"You..." Serenity flew into a rage. "So you're saying that you want to always keep your mistress around, but you won’t allow Susie to get a divorce for the sake of your reputation? Julian, who do you think you are? What gives you the right to be so arrogant?"

Julian was only looking at Susan. "I won't relent, so don’t even think about leaving me. There’s no need for you to talk to me about getting a divorce. I won’t consent. Go ahead if you want to sue me, but even if the court accepts the case, there won’t be any follow-up."

His voice sounded calm and composed, just like before.

This voice of his used to always give her a sense of security. However, there was only sorrow left in Susan's heart now.

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."
