The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife -
Chapter 438 Miss Is Currently Single
Madam Shaw immediately glared daggers at Willa. "An outsider like you has no say in the family affairs of the Shaws."
She intended to pursue Julian, but he was nowhere to be seen. Madam Shaw could only take several deep breaths to suppress her resentment. She had used suicide as a threat to finally make Julian promise to divorce Susan.
Although he had agreed, he had to hold a grudge against her in his heart. If she pushed him too much, it would be detrimental if Julian loathed her. Despite that, Madam Shaw could not allow Julian to be involved in this issue.
Susan Shelby was the best at acting soft and meek. If she wrapped Julian around her fingers again, it would be an additional nightmare.
Madam Shaw thought quickly.
Once the certificate of divorce was issued, the first thing she would do was replace a good woman for Julian! When he had someone gentle, soft, and sensible, an old flame like Susan would not affect them anymore.
Ignoring Willa, Madam Shaw contemplated the details of her plan as she went upstairs. She was going to scrutinize her future daughter-in-law and make sure that she at least would listen to her mother-in-law. While Madam Shaw was engrossed in this idea, Julian bolted to the Wrights' house as fast as he could.
In the past, the guards used to let him in directly whenever he arrived. This time, he was stopped by them when he was about to enter.
"May I ask if you have an appointment?" the guard asked sternly.
"An appointment?" Julian was surprised before he answered, "I'm Susan's husband. I'm here to see Susan."
"Sorry, master and madam said that Miss is currently single," the guard replied.
Julian was speechless. He took a deep breath and said seriously, "I really have a very important reason to see Susie."
"Sir, please don't address Miss so intimately. It'll cause unnecessary problems. Miss will be getting married again in the future," said the guard.
Susan would be getting married again? Although Julian knew that the guard was just messing with him, he panicked anyway.
Gritting his teeth, he spat through them," Susan is my woman. If she doesn't come to my side, she's not going anywhere."
"Oh? Really? Very domineering, Julian Shaw." The door to the house opened and out came an aloof George.
Julian's eyes glowed. "Dad, how's Susie? Let me in to see her."
"Susie's doing great." George raised his brows.
"Dad, don't hide it from me. I know that she has a fever, but I don't know how she's doing now. This is all a misunderstanding. I just want to see Susie and explain everything to her." Julian was nearly pleading. "A misunderstanding? Letting your mother kick Susie out is a misunderstanding? Or is your request to divorce her a misunderstanding?" George arched his brow.
Unable to answer him, Julian clenched his jaw before speaking after a while." Regardless of what has happened, I must see Susie."
"You can try," George said before he summoned four or five more guards over, instructing them right in front of Julian," All of you watch him properly. Do not let him take a step into the house!" "Yes!" the guards chorused in unison.
Thanks to George's status, these guards were members of the Special Forces. Although Julian was just an ordinary person who was relatively more skilled, George himself would probably not be able to barge in through them.
Upon looking at the wall of guards, Julian was left speechless. He would have to build a team of 100 people to enter the Wrights' home under the current circumstances. Who would be bold enough to help him barge into the Wrights' house?
Julian balled his hands into fists.
George snorted upon looking at him." Julian Shaw! I misjudged you in the past! W e Wrights have determination and willpower. Susie can continue living her life after leaving you. Since you've decided to divorce her, get a clean divorce. Don't come to the Wrights' house anymore in the future. Even if you do, I won't let you in."
George left Julian at the entrance after saying that and closed the door.
"Mr. Shaw, please." The guard gestured for him to leave.
Julian knew that he could not barge his way in, yet he was worried about Susie and could not just leave. He stood still at the entrance, keeping his eyes trained on a certain window on the first floor. 'Susie, I know that I've wronged you.
Please, you have to listen to my explanation.'
George was still huffing in anger when he went back into the house.
"Has he left?" Luna asked with a raised brow.
"Don't care. He can dream about stepping into the Wrights' house. Otherwise, he must really think that our daughter can come and go at his whim." George's fury crackled within him again as he said," What's even happening? I thought that
Julian Shaw was not too bad a man. Turns out he's not reliable at all. Luna, tell me everything in detail. Why did he ask Susie for a divorce?"
Luna said faintly, "Seems like Madam Shaw thinks that Susie poisoned her and insisted that they split up."
"Susie poisoned Madam Shaw? What a ludicrous joke!" George only got more furious. "And Julian Shaw believed it?
That's it, I'm asking the guards to throw him out!"
Once he thought about Susan, who was still having a high fever, George felt that he had been too polite to Julian just now.
"Okay, okay, stop troubling yourself. Let him wait if he wants to wait. Just don't let him in," Luna said.
George nodded and asked, "Luna, other than us, does everyone else know that Julian and Susie are divorcing?" "The kids aren't home yet. I haven't told them," Luna answered. "Let Susie speak for herself."
"True."
Luna sighed. "Poor Chessie. She's really a good girl. Susie fainted and she stayed by her bed to keep telling her stories. If I didn't insist, she might have not stopped yet."
"Where's she now?" George could not help asking.
"She just fell asleep before you came back," Luna answered.
While they talked, the servant's delighted voice rang from upstairs.
"Master, madam, Miss is awake."
"Susie's awake?" Delight zinged in Luna's eyes as she and George ran up.
Susan was already sitting up against the nightstand in the room but she still looked sickly.
"Susie, you must be famished." Before the girl even replied, Luna called out to the maid. "Quick, serve the chicken congee that's been simmering!"
