The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 452 Big News

"Huh?" Lara looked at Susan curiously. "Who is it?"

"Seth." Susan chuckled "He only has one requirement for his other half: big boobs."

All these years, Seth had had many women with an ample bosom around him, but in the end, no one had been able to go further with him. Big boobs...

Lara subconsciously lowered her head and then... looked at her shoes.

She was silent for a bit before she huffed out to express her disdain for Seth. "How shallow! This Seth is too shallow a man."

Susan chuckled.

Lara's eyes flitted before she decided to say, "Miss Shelby, I want to take up interior design in the future too. You're Mr. Reed's disciple. Can you teach me if you have the time?"

"Sure." Susan agreed, as her impression of Lara Quinton was a good one.

A bright beam spread across Lara's face." Thank you, Susan! Let's exchange numbers then!"

The two of them exchanged contact information, and Lara peered at Susan longingly. "Go ahead if you have other matters to attend to, Miss Susan. I'll contact you." "Enjoy your eighteenth birthday." Susan glanced at Lara softly before leaving the place.

As soon as Susan entered the Wrights'

residence, Luna looked at her in surprise.

Susie, why are you back so soon?"

Susan arched a brow. "Mom, how did Julian buy you over?"

Both she and Julian disliked attending dinners, so how could it be a coincidence that Julian had gone to the dinner she had attended?

When she took into account the fact that Luna had insisted on her attending it, the truth was revealed on its own.

Susan was just confused, as Luna had been angry with Julian previously. Why was she suddenly helping him?

"Buy me over? It was nothing like that." Luna's eyes flitted around.

Susan sighed. "Mom!"

Susan coughed and continued. "No, really.

Susie. I've just seen you being so forlorn recently and thought that..."

"Thought that I'd be happier if I saw Julian?" Realization struck Susan before her tone became lower. "Mom, it really will take me a while to put this relationship behind me, but since it's no longer possible for us to be together, I should just get it over instead of nursing long-term pain."

"Susie." Luna raised her brows lightly." Actually, Julian's been working pretty hard to solve this..."

Luna had just started speaking when Susan jolted. "Mom, are you speaking for Julian now? Then why don't you want to help with StarTech?"

"Uh..." Realizing that she had just outed herself, Luna dared not say another word.

Susan looked like she had caught on to something. "Jacob and Seth's reactions were very strange too. You guys... You guys haven't planned all this, right? Is Julian involved in your plan too? What are you guys doing?"

Knowing that she was unable to keep this from Susan, Luna coughed. "Susie, I won't tell you about the particulars, but you'll replace out in a few days."

Susan did not pursue this since Luna was being all mysterious and refused to tell her anything. However, she did feel lighter knowing that nothing bad had actually happened to StarTech based on how her mother sounded.

It was not too bad. Even though they were separated, she still hoped that she and Julian could live well on their own.

Madam Shaw had been having a few hard days recently.

Ever since she had been released by the police, she had attended a few events on occasion but kept feeling that people were talking and whispering behind her back. Initially, she thought that they were mocking her for being held in custody by the police. However, she once overheard a conversation accidentally.

"StarTech won't be able to get through this unscathed."

"I think so too. I heard that Julian Shaw's cracking his head over this so much."

"Is it that bad?"

"Who knows! But Julian Shaw's had it bad this time because of his mother for sure."

"You mean Madam Shaw? She's truly a piece of work. I wonder what she's thinking when she keeps insisting that Susan Shelby isn't worth Julian Shaw's time. She should get her eyes checked. Shelby's mother is Luna Harris, and her father is George Wright. Is any Wright or Harris a pushover? No one. Plus, Jacob Shelby isn't related to her by blood but loves her like his own sister. How could these people possibly sit around and watch her force a divorce on Julian Shaw and Susan Shelby?"

"Julian Shaw is going down with StarTech this time."

"Can't blame no one when he has an insensible mother like that."

The group was giving their two cents, but Madam Shaw could no longer take it.

Taking a step forward, she asked harshly," What nonsense are you guys blabbering? What's wrong with StarTech?"

The group was startled when they saw Madam Shaw, but they all calmed down quickly.

One of them looked at her with a halfsmile. "Speak of the devil... What? Don't you know about StarTech yet, Madam Shaw?"

"What should I know about it?" Madam Shaw said coldly. "You better make yourselves clear. Otherwise, I'll make you pay the price for talking behind someone's back."

"I'd be afraid and hold back if you'd threatened me in the past, but who do you think you are now?" A man smirked." Besides, what we said is the truth. You forced Julian Shaw to divorce Susan Shelby and caused his career to suffer as well. This is already a joke in the entire Skyking City."

His career was suffering? A joke?

Madam Shaw gritted her teeth. "Make yourself clear."

"You don't know? StarTech is doomed!

Julian Shaw's divorce with Susan Shelby angered Jacob Shelby, and he's persuaded Seth Leeds to set up another company on their own."

"How dare they?" Madam Shaw's voice was piercing.

"Pft! Why not?" One man side-eyed the woman in disdain. "They have the patent of the SL System. Although StarTech has the right to use the system now, that doesn't mean that the two men can't venture into building their own company. Seth Leeds and Jacob Shelby's departure won't do much to StarTech for the time being, as the company's clients are still around, but the Wrights and the Harris are influential in Skyking City. Julian Shaw is divorcing Susan Shelby, which is basically akin to offending both of these families. The clients who know this insider news are cancelling their contracts with StarTech now. Julian Shaw is probably in hot water. I was just wondering why you are in the mood to attend events, but it turns out you didn't even know."

Madam Shaw was dumbfounded as she heard this lengthy speech.

She was actually there to look for a suitable candidate to become Julian's wife among the upper class of Skyking City. She had not expected this big news to be dropped o nher. "Impossible... This is impossible." Madam Shaw refused to believe it.
