Not knowing what happened, Chesney ran over to Susan obediently. Susan carried her up and headed for the exit.

"Susan, know when to be appreciative." Luke looked affronted but Susan did not even turn back.

Luke gave chase and yanked Susan's arm." Stand right there."

"What do you want?" Susan looked at him with a scowl.

Luke scoffed, "Don't worry, it's unlike me to coerce someone. Although we're separating on a bad note, I'll send you back the same way you came."

As he spoke, he wore a smirk. "Otherwise, are the two of you planning to walk back?" Susan raised her brow and was about to reply when an icy voice cut in.

"I'm afraid how the two of them going back will have nothing to do with you. You better lift your filthy hand off her right now!"

With the order, Julian came over to them but his eyes remained glued darkly to Luke's hand that was grabbing Susan.

Luke squinted and let go of his grasp subconsciously. "Julian Shaw? How did you get in!"

Several stoic-looking bodyguards came over to stand behind Julian while a pile of people lay on the ground behind them.

"Mr. Daniel, he brought a few skilled bodyguards and we couldn't stop them," one man on the ground struggled to pant out his words.

Luke was taken aback as he looked coldly a t Julian. "What's the meaning of this, Julian? Do you not know that I can have my men shoot you for trespassing in the States?" "You can try." Julian stared back at him squarely.

The gazes of both men sparked in hostility.

Chesney looked at them back and forth before she suddenly spread her arms toward Julian. "Daddy, carry."

The tense atmosphere dissolved. Julian carried Chessie in one arm and naturally held Susan's hand with another. "Let's go, Susie!"

With her hand gripped tight by Julian, Susan wanted to struggle out of it subconsciously, but with the current situation...

It was only a moment of hesitation but Julian dragged her out.

"Susie, you can come to me anytime if you regret your decision. You have my contact number," Luke suddenly shouted as he watched Susan's retreating back.

Before Susan said anything, Julian looked insulted as he turned to pierce his gaze through Luke. "You didn't have the chance in the past, you don't have it now, and you won't either in the future." "Not necessarily," Luke chuckled.

Julian's gaze turned dangerous at once and both men glared at each other once again.

"Julian, let's go." Susan squeezed said man's palm.

"Susie!" Julian looked at her in delighted surprise. This was the first time in two months that Susie talked to him.

His elated gaze caused Susan to press her lips together as she averted her gaze quickly.

There was a hint of smile in Julian's gaze. He held Susan's hand tighter and gloated at Luke. "See you, Mr. Jenkins! Oh, no, see you never."

He left with Susan hand in hand after that.

Julian's car was already ready by the door. When they entered it, the car sped off at once.

Luke watched the car speed off, an inexplicable emotion flashed across his eyes. He stood in his spot in silence for some time.

Suddenly, a woman with the air of an ice princess appeared behind him

expressionlessly. "Daniel, it's not beneficial to go against Julian Shaw upfront. Do not bother Susan Shelby in the future." "Bother Susan? Susan belongs to me!" Luke jabbed back stubbornly through gritted

teeth.

Impatience tinted the woman's face. "I don't care about the grudges between you, but we've supported you for so long. It's not for you to fall short now! Julian Shaw is our enemy, but with your current standard, you can't contend with him explicitly yet."

"He's just lucky," Luke said reluctantly.

"Whether it's good luck or not, he's come to where he is today!" The woman said coldly, "Do not provoke Susan Shelby and Julian Shaw again. This is an order from the higher-up. You better obey it. Otherwise you won't be able to handle the consequences."

There was an extreme sense of struggle that gleamed in Luke's expression. After a long moment, he spoke slowly, "I understand."

"Very well." The woman finally wore a ghost of a smile. "The plan is starting soon. You better be very careful at this juncture of time."

Luke merely nodded at that and the woman walked back into the shadows satisfied.

Narrowing his eyes, a sneer played at the bottom of Luke's eyes. He had been a puppet for three long years. Did these people think that he would actually listen to them for the rest of his life?

At the same time, once Susan got into the car, she wrangled her hand out of Julian's grip and took hold of the note.

"A note? Susie, what's this?" Julian asked in surprise.

Ignoring him, Susan unfolded the note slowly and began reading from the top.

Jealousy burned in the pit of Julian's eyes. Susie had only spent a short time alone with him and yet she had produced some stupid note! Was it some love letter?

Julian slowly inched next to Susan in hopes of peeking on the contents on the note, but the latter put the note away swiftly and looked solemn while doing it.

"What did the note say?" Julian could not help asking.

The information contained in the note was too much. Susan rubbed her temples with a frown deeply etched on her face.

Her troubled look jolted Julian as he blurted, "Is it a love letter?"

Susan looked back at him speechlessly but he panicked. "Susie, Luke isn't a trustworthy man! You mustn't be fooled by his honeyed words!"

Susan remained speechless.

Oh no, oh no, was Susie really considering Luke?

Julian felt his heart lodge in his throat." Susie, Luke really isn't a good man. Think about it. He said that he loves you, yet he already had a kid with Mandy. What's worse is that Mandy's given birth to his child yet he abandoned them. He's a monster..."

Julian went on rambling and it grated on Susan's nerves. She pushed the note to him. "Take a look yourself."

Contemplating it now, Luke must have passed her the note in hopes that she would pass it to Julian.

"You're showing it to me? This isn't right, is it?" Julian mumbled but he was already unfolding the note speedily. Scanning it, Julian narrowed his eyes. The content on the note was truly out of his expectation.
