After Madam Shaw arrived at the Public Security Bureau, what awaited her ahead was a torturous chain of interrogation.

On the other side, everyone was worried about Susan. They did not know whether Susan was really that tough or just putting on a strong front to hide her true feelings.

"Mommy, I already got my ribbon. Let's go." Chessie's voice wafted into their ears as she hopped out of the mansion.

"Alright. Let's go, then." Susan smiled and scooped her up from the ground.

Jacob looked at Susan and suggested," Susie, why don't we cancel our plan and stay in the house today?" "Why?" Susan smiled. "Is it because of Madam Shaw? I'm no longer the daughter-in-law of the Shaws, so it's none of my business what happens to her." "Yeah. We don't care about her anymore," Luna said, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Truth be told, even though she had said a lot of bad things to Julian, she deeply believed that Susan would not give up on Julian, just like how Julian would not give up on her as well.

Both of them had gone through a lot, and they were inseparable from each other. She and George chose to give Madam Shaw a lesson when Susan was away because they did not want to put her in a difficult position. After all, there was a chance that she might get back with Julian again. At that time, it would be easier for her to explain the situation as she could push all the blame to them.

However, Susan had made her stand very clear today, and it would be difficult for her to explain for herself in the future if Madam Shaw brought up the matter again.

Since she did not hesitate to make Madam Shaw look bad, it could only mean one thing-she was getting over Julian.

But could she really give up on Julian?

They were so close and loved each other so much. Was it really that easy for her to give up on their relationship?

The more Susan looked normal, the more worried Luna was.

Since Susan insisted on going for a walk, everyone could do nothing but go along with her. They accompanied her, and only when it was midnight, they returned to the Wright mansion. After she put Chessie to bed, Susan returned to her room alone.

She took a bath and washed like what she always did. After she turned off the light, she lay on the bed. However, she could not fall asleep, no matter how hard she tried, and could just keep staring at the ceiling.

In the room, a crooked smile blossomed across Willa's lips.

Susan was even more stone-hearted than she imagined.

But wasn't this the outcome that she wanted to see? The more they antagonized each other, the better it was. As long as they felt an aversion toward each other, Julian would be the one getting the short end o the stick regardless of who he chose to side with. The more conflict they had, the less likely they would go back to each other again. There was a possibility that they would end up hating each other for the rest of their life.

The smile on Willa's face deepened, and she fished out her phone, wanting to inform Julian about Madam Shaw's situation. Just when she punched in Julian's number, something popped up in her head and compelled her to put down her phone.

Julian would get wind of his mother's situation sooner or later. However, the later he got the news, the better it was. She hoped that they would lock Madam Shaw up in a small room and give her hell. It was only then Julian would be dissatisfied with Susan when he saw how miserable his mother had become due to her.

Even though Willa did not tell Julian about his mother, he still received the news in the morning.

"What? Mom is in jail?" Julian was stunned when he received the news.

He pushed everything to one side and beelined toward the Public Security Bureau.

The police led Madam Shaw out of her cell. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was haggard.

The moment she saw Julian, a grin broke out on her face as she shouted, "Julian!

You've come! This is all Susan's fault! That b*tch put me in here. You have to get me out!"

Julian had already learned about the entire story through his own channel. Truth be told, he felt his Madam Shaw deserved to be locked in jail for everything she did in the Wright mansion.

Julian raised his brow and said, "Is that so? Is Susie the one who put you in here? Is she the one who asked you to break into the Wright mansion?"

Madam Shaw was surprised at Julian's reaction. She shrunk back a little, but that was all. Be that as it may, she soon gritted her teeth and began to defend herself." That woman has already agreed to the divorce, but she used some nasty tricks to prevent you from divorcing her. I just went to the Wright mansion to talk to her. Who knew they wouldn't let me in—"

"So... You did break into the Wright mansion." Julian looked at her.

"I..." Madam Shaw was stumped. After that, she continued. "Anyway, hurry up and get me out of here."

Julian heaved out a long sigh as he said," Mom, I'm not that capable. If the Wrights don't want to let you go, no one can save you.

"How is that possible? George Wright has n o much influence after he stepped down from his position," Madam Shaw said matter-of-factly. "Mom, where did you get the idea from? What kind of TV series did you watch again?" Julian asked.

Madam Shaw shrunk back a little and replied in a shamefaced way, "Well, most of the television shows are based on true events..."

Julian screwed his eyes up. "Who told you that Marshal George has no influence anymore? First of all, he has many disciples across different sectors. Secondly, the reason Oliver is not promoted is due to his young age. In another 20 years, he will certainly be the next marshal. Lastly, the VIP is Marshal George's sworn brother. That's why he gave Susie a present when she returned to the Wrights to warn others that they shouldn't mess with the Wrights. Now, do you still think that the Wrights are nothing?"

Madam Shaw was stunned. She had no idea of everything Julian had just said.

It took her a long while to return to her senses. Then she replied awkwardly, "Are they really that powerful? But I just broke into their house. It's not a serious offense. There is no need for them to send me into jail..."

Madam Shaw had no idea how serious the consequence of her small action would be. She became nervous as she pleaded, * Julian, you must get me out of here." "I could only go and beg the Wrights right now," Julian replied.

"Right, right. You go and tell Susie and ask her parents to release me," Madam Shaw said unscrupulously. She looked as if she did not feel wrong pushing Susan around.

Julian squinted his eyes, then he laughed." Mom, it would be an easy task if it was in the past. But considering our relationship right now, what place do I have to ask Susan for her help?" Madam Shaw was stumped.

She always thought that it was Susan who had married above her station. She had never thought that even though the Wrights were not as well off as them, Julian was far inferior to George in terms of social status and power.

This was because George always had a mirthful expression on his face since she was Julian's mother. It made Madam Shaw forget how powerful he used to be.
