Chapter 72 Apologize to Susie
Chapter 72 Apologize to Susie
Julian frowned slightly.
Madam Shaw stared at him. "You knew before this! Julian, how could you be so silly? You can have any kind of woman you want given the kind of family we are. Why do you want such a disgraceful and disloyal woman..."
"Mom." Julian interrupted her directly. "Susan didn’t contact Luke after she married me. Moreover, I knew for a fact that you were the one who asked me to marry her in the first place."
Madam Shaw was stunned and shocked.
After a while, she slapped the table and appeared upset. "I didn’t know that she was such a person before. In fact, I investigated her beforehand and found that she never had any ex-boyfriends. Certainly, Madam Jenkins had hidden the truth from everyone else. It humiliated them deeply since Luke had had a romantic relationship with Susan. Why didn't I act more cautiously at that time? Then, we don't have to let a shameless woman..."
"Mom." Julian frowned. "Now, Susan is my wife. You better show her basic respect when you speak."
Madam Shaw addressed her as a disloyal and shameless woman. Julian could not bear to hear it anymore.
"Respect? Does she deserve that?” Madam Shaw was infuriated. “Fine, I won’t dwell on the thing related to Luke. But Mandy told me that Richard’s death is related to Susan. How come? You better tell me all the details."
Julian had no choice but to give her the rough picture. After that, he said, "There are too many uncertainties i n this incident. Besides, I learned that Richard was suffering from a serious brain
disease. He might have died because of his illness."
Madam Shaw still wore a bad facial expression. "Even if he was suffering from a serious brain disease,
Susan might be pretending to be gentle and weak. But in fact, she couldn’t bear to be alone. She claimed that Richard was trying to take his liberties with her.
Maybe she was the one who seduced him but failed at last!"
Madam Shaw stood up nervously as she said so. "No, i t won't do. It must not go on like this. We can't allow this kind of shameless woman who ruined our reputation to become the young mistress of the Shaw family!" Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Mom, Susie didn't ruin our reputation. Certainly, there's someone who plotted against her..."
"Plot? Why did they want to plot against her instead of someone else? Remember, nothing happens without a reason! Besides that, if she’s not considered a shameless woman after what she's done, then who is? Luckily, the Jenkins family did not make a police report concerning Richard's death. Otherwise, our Shaw family would be humiliated deeply if it got out o f hand. But you told me that there were some servants who witnessed the scene. Although we couldn't investigate the truth because Richard is dead, it's rather difficult to stop others from spreading the rumors. Even if the incident was successfully hidden from the public, if and when it is made known to the public, she'll burden the entire Shaw family!"
Madam Shaw became much more nervous and furious as she spoke. She became so anxious that she collapsed on the sofa.
At first, Julian wanted to defend Susan, but he went to hold her arm when he saw her out of breath because o f her deep wrath.
Madam Shaw grabbed Julian's hand. "Julian, it won't d o. You must divorce her. We can’t afford to be humiliated like that.”
Julian raised his eyebrows.
He spent so much effort and plotted so many schemes. Finally, he managed to make her stay by his side.
It was impossible for him to divorce her.
"It's a great disgrace,” Madam Shaw continued ceaselessly.
She felt like she had been slapped in the face several times when she was at the Jenkins family just now.
After Mr. Shaw died, Madam Shaw led the entire Shaw Corporation alone. Under her strict management and good leadership, there was never any negative news concerning the Shaw Corporation. 1
When she passed it to Julian, he managed to develop the Shaw Corporation and bring it to the next level. At the same time, he also successfully retained the kind o f tradition she left behind. So, the Shaw Corporation always had a good reputation.
Hence, she should never allow it to be ruined by Susan.
Julian narrowed his eyes. "Regarding the divorce..."
Suddenly, the door of the room was opened.
Jacob held a glass in his hand as he was heading out t o get himself some water. Then, he started making his way back.
Madam Shaw was deeply angry when she saw Jacob. " I was fooled before. That's why I chose Susan. She's such a disloyal and disgraceful woman. She even has a troublesome older brother who’s suffering from heart disease. He has a mental illness too. Who knows whether the illnesses are hereditary? Maybe Susan is suffering from a mental illness too. That b*itch! She came to us looking for trouble. She..."
Madam Shaw talked ceaselessly. Jacob stopped walking. Then, he strode toward Madam Shaw and looked at her seriously. "What did you say just now?"
He appeared rather solemn. Madam Shaw could not help but smile coldly. "Why? Are you questioning me now? Jacob, do you even have the right to do so? If it wasn’t for me and my money, you would be dead by now. You're indebted to us. How dare you speak impolitely to me? Is that how you behave yourself? Is that how your family brought you up? Susan is just a disloyal and absurd woman. It’s truly disgusting!”
Jacob's facial expression worsened. "I don’t want you t o talk about Susie that way."
Madam Shaw straightened her back and sneered at him. "So what if I do?"
"Mom!" Julian frowned deeply. "Why are you arguing with Jacob? You know very well that he's just a child."
Madam Shaw sneered coldly. "I forgot about it. The older brother is suffering from a mental illness while the younger sister has bad conduct. Their entire family is really something."
"You can’t talk about Susie like that.” Jacob's voice became slightly louder.
Suddenly, Julian threw himself between Jacob and Madam Shaw. Then, he said to Jacob, "Go back to your room first. I’ll talk to my mother about it.”
However, Jacob pushed Julian away stubbornly. After that, he said, "I want you to apologize to Susie."
Madam Shaw laughed out of anger. "You want me to apologize to her? How shameless! Does your sister deserve that?"
"Say sorry to her." Jacob stood there without any intention to move.
"Are you done?" Madam Shaw was angry by now. She grabbed the glass ashtray on the table casually and threw it at Jacob.
Jacob stood there stiffly. He did not even dodge it.
Jacob used his hand to block it subconsciously.
The ashtray hit Julian's arm harshly.
Jacob frowned slightly.
Madam Shaw was stunned. She rushed toward Julian and held his hand nervously. "Julian, is your hand alright?"
"It's fine." Julian tried his best to endure the pain." Mom, this is the end of it..."
Madam Shaw was reluctant to listen to him. She was filled with immense anger when she saw Jacob still standing there in a daze. She grabbed the ashtray from the floor and rushed toward Jacob. "The people from the Shelby family are nothing but walking disasters..."
