Chapter 98 Susan Will Be My One And Only Wife
Madam Shaw and her husband's marriage was on the basis of romantic love. They loved each other very much. 1
At that time, Mister Shaw was already a very successful businessman, but Madam Shaw was born i n an ordinary family. Julian's grandfather was against their relationship, and he wanted Mister Shaw to marry a girl with the same status as him. 1
However, Mister Shaw insisted on. After surmounting numerous difficulties, he married Madam Shaw in the end. He was very protective over her and he did not allow anyone to hurt her.
After that, Julian's grandfather and his father passed away. He was still a kid at that time, and Madam Shaw was young. Everyone from the Shaws stepped forward as they refused to hand over the Shaw Corporation to them. The reason was that they felt Madam Shaw would definitely remarry another man, and Julian was too young to handle the Shaw Corporation.
Hence, they seized the Shaw Corporation from Madam Shaw and Julian.
It was the darkest time for Lanyard Corporation. Everything was falling apart and the corporation was o n the verge of collapse. It was when Madam Shaw stepped forward and promised that she would never remarry another man and would hand over the company to Julian when he was old enough that the situation stabilized. 1
After that, she used various means and chased all those people who kicked them when they were down out of Ningcheng City.
It was easy to finish the entire story in a few words, but only Madam Shaw knew how difficult and perilous their situation was at the time. Part of the reason why she was willing to take up the responsibility was because of Julian while another part was that she truly loved Mister Shaw.
Now that Julian mentioned the things that happened i n those years, Madam Shaw fell into her own memory.
However, she soon snapped back to reality. She looked straight towards Julian and Susan and said," How can you compare your situation to ours? Your father and I loved each other.”
"It's fate that brought us together. How can you be so sure that we don’t love each other?” Julian retaliated.
"The status between you and her..."
"Don't forget, mom. Your situation is similar to ours. Dad came from a large family, while you were born in a n ordinary family."
"Her reputation is bad! She will drag you down with her!" "All of those rumors are fake. Besides, I remember that before you settled down with dad, you had a first love, right?"
"She is up to no good! She just wants our money!"
"If that's the case, then why didn't she bring anything with her when she left last time? Why would she sign the contract without any hesitation?"
"She..."
Madam Shaw wanted to say something more, but she found that all her reasonings were countered by Julian.
"Mom, despite my body condition, Susan still decided t o stay by my side. She encourages me when I need a shove and she helps me when I need help. Don't you think it's very hard to get a person who can tolerate you to this extent?" After he made her mother understand his reasoning, he was now trying to move her with emotion.
Susan could not help but look at Julian. She was truly amazed by the man's talent to lie through his teeth.
Stayed by his side? Encourage him? Help him? It was he who forced her to hug him and kiss him. He even tried to get onto her bed!
However, Julian’s approach seemed to be working. Madam Shaw’s expression lightened. After all, aside from the things regarding the Jenkins, she did not find anything bad about Susan.
Seeing that his mother's expression had lightened up,
Julian lowered his voice and continued, "Mom, do you want us to repeat all the hardships and pain that you and dad went through that year?"
Madam Shaw’s eyes changed.
Indeed, the relationship between her and Mister Shaw was never easy. If Mister Shaw did not stay by her side, she would have given up their relationship long ago.
"So, mom, since you have also tasted these hardships, why can't you let go and give me and Susan the opportunity to grow up in marriage?" Julian asked.
Madam Shaw pressed her lips, "In any case, I still think it is not appropriate for you to transfer all of your assets to her..."
"She is my wife, and divorce is never an option. Since neither of us is going to give up our marriage, it doesn’t really matter who owns the properties," Julian said matter-of-factly.
However, Madam Shaw still was not convinced. After a long while, "Is it true that the ownership cannot be changed for fifty years?"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"Yes, the owner of the property is not allowed to change for fifty years," Julian replied.
Looking at the pile of documents, Madam Shaw felt her heart aching. If Julian divorced Susan right now, all of these things would belong to Susan. Even though she felt that Susan did not deserve her son, there was nothing she could do since her son was so
stubborn.
"In this case," Madam Shaw said sulkily, "Let's postpone the divorce to another date.”
"Not only postpone," Julian interjected, a serious expression dawning on his face. "In my entire life, Susan will be my one and only wife." i
Both Madam Shaw and Susan were taken aback by Julian's seriousness.
Susan looked over to Julian. The man had been saying that he would never divorce her, but she did not believe him. Then, he transferred his properties to her and he even added a special clause that nobody could change the ownership for 50 years. Right now, he reiterated in front of Madam Shaw that he would never divorce her.
Susan's heart spurred into a gallop. It was so loud that she thought everyone could hear her heartbeat.
'Why would he do that? Could it be...’
The fire of hope in her heart was reignited.
"It's still too early for you to say that," Madam Shaw sounded gloomy, "But I'll see how far you two can go."
The thing that convinced her was not Julian's speech, but his money. She was not that kind enough to give s o much money to an outsider.
"Okay,” Julian smiled, "Then we'll leave now. Goodbye, mom."
He pulled Susan and walked towards the outside. While they were walking, the agreement fell to the floor.
"Wait, Julian, the agreement," the words spilled out of Susan’s mouth before she could even realize.
Julian stared at her.
'What else does this stupid woman want to do with that stack of useless papers?!' 1
Susan said meekly, "I just think that it is not good to litter..."
Julian’s expression then lightened.
'Yes, the divorce agreement is nothing but a pile of rubbish. Very good, Susan Shelby. I shall reward you later.'
"Don’t worry. The maid will take care of it," Julian calmly dragged Susan out, leaving Madam Shaw sulking alone in the living hall.
She did not understand why her son was so obsessed with that woman.
If she knew that he would not divorce after he got married, she should have picked a good one for him at that time.
"Susan Shelby...” she mumbled.
Although Madam Shaw still thought that she did not deserve Julian, she would settle for her for now. After all, it was better than losing all the money.
"Oh, my heart. It hurts so much." Even after she consoled herself, she still could not help grabbing her chest.
She could not fathom why Julian would give all his properties away to that woman as if he was giving her a glass of water.
The car was moving fast on the road. Sitting on the seat next to Julian, Susan stifled a glance at him.
