Jul... Julian!

All at once, everyone had a different reaction to the situation.

Seth Leeds stood up instantly with a look of slight panic in his gaze. "Young Master Shaw, the matter is not what it seems!"

"So what is it then?" Julian looked at him through narrowed eyes.

Before Seth could answer him in time, Jacob Shelby was already staring at him furiously.

"You've betrayed me!"

Seth had obviously promised Jacob that he would never expose their whereabouts. As a result, Julian was already standing at the doorway in less than an hour.

Seth waved his hand repeatedly. "No, no. I wasn't planning on telling him, it was just a slip of the tongue n

"So you were planning to hide this important matter from me originally despite our long-term friendship?" said Julian Shaw coldly.

"No. I wanted to tell you supposedly but uh uh..." Seth tried to explain himself.

"Just a slip of the tongue huh, do you think I will believe you?" Rage tainted Jacob's crystal clear eyes on a rare occasion.

Seth looked at Julian with an icy cold expression standing on his left then looked at Jacob with a furious expression who was standing on his right.

'Oh oh oh oh, what's happening here?' He was a man o f ideals, moral integrity, culture and discipline yet how did he suddenly sink into this desperate situation that he could not please both sides?

Seth said in a slightly angry manner, "I don't care. All three of you can communicate with one another."

He slumped against the sofa instantaneously and assumed a lazy, distracted posture. His eyes shifted constantly between the three people.

Jacob looked at Julian calmly. Then, he grabbed hold of Susan's hand. "Susie, let's go."

Susan's gaze did not meet Julian's gaze from the start.

She lowered her head and did nothing as Jacob tugged her to walk to the outside.

Meanwhile, her other arm was suddenly tugged by someone else.

Susan did not look at Julian but she said in a deep voice, "Let go of me!"

"Let go of Susie, you," Jacob frowned and said in a rather serious manner.

"So what if I won't let go?" Susan and Jacob's vigilance turned Julian's voice colder.

Jacob's brows furrowed tightly.

He looked at Julian's arms that were albeit not considered thick but appeared powerful and then looked at his skinny, weak little claws.

He reached a conclusion in his heart. If he were to confront them by toughness, he was not a worthy opponent for Julian.

Jacob then looked at Seth to which Seth rapidly shifted his gaze.

It was impossible for Seth to help out too.

Jacob pondered attentively then said with a solemn expression, "I will call the police if you don't let go of her."

"Call the police?" Julian raised an eyebrow. "What crime are you planning on reporting?"

"Forceful seizing of a woman?" said Jacob with uncertainty.

Julian:"..."

Susan:

Seth:"..." 4

Julian inhaled a deep breath and said, "Aside from this crime being nonexistent, even if there is such a crime, Susan is my wife! It's not considered forceful seizing regardless."

Jacob was confused for a moment ever so slightly. "Is that so?'

However, even if that was the case, he would never allow Susie to return to the Shaw family that made her unhappy.

"All and all, Susie won't be returning with you," said Jacob.

Julian looked at Jacob calmly and said, "It's fine for me not to take Susie with me, but I wish to talk to her in private."

"Are you really not going to take Susie back?" Jacob's tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.

He felt relatively at ease with Julian. At the very least, Julian had never bullied Susie before.

However, if they were to return to the Shaw family home, that malicious woman would certainly bully Susie.

"Yes." Julian nodded.

He would only speak to Jacob so patiently because Jacob as Susan's older brother. Otherwise, he could not be bothered to even utter a sentence of small talk because of his temperament. "Jacob, it's fine. I'll talk to him," said Susan softly.

Since Susan said so, Jacob loosened his grip on her hand. "Alright, Susie. Remember to shout loudly if he

bullies you. I'll be standing guard outside."

Jacob glared at Julian vigilantly as he spoke.

Julian's expression darkened.

'Is it necessary for him to look at me with this gaze? Am I the man-eating demon?

'Forget about it, forget about it. Jacob has a mental disability, I shouldn't argue with him!" 1

Julian inhaled two deep breaths and pulled Susan into a guestroom. Then, he closed the door with a bang.

"Susie, I'm right at the doorway. Remember to call out to me if you need help." Jacob was still shouting aloud from outside.

Julian's brow began to throb involuntarily.

"Jacob, I..." Susan was about to reply.

All of a sudden, she was shoved into a corner of the wall.

Then, a blazing hot, passionate kiss landed on her lips wildly.

"Susie, what were you saying?" Jacob was still inquiring ceaselessly.

Susan was rendered utterly incapable of answering Jacob in the meantime. Julian's kiss was so intense that she could even feel that it was rather hard to breathe.

"Susie, Susie.." Jacob knocked on the door anxiously.

Susan wanted to push away Julian subconsciously.

He kissed her even more intensely.

Julian only loosened his grip on Susan when she was prepared to get a sledgehammer to break the door.

Susan could not be bothered to breathe evenly before she hastily said, "Jacob, I'm alright."

"Susie, are you really alright?" asked Jacob.

Julian leaned forward in a slightly mischievous manner with a smirk on his face. He exhaled softly into Susan's neck.

Susan's body suddenly stiffened. She took a glance at Julian in an embarrassed manner. The man became even more aggravated such that he leaned even closer and had even begun to kiss her neck softly. Susan felt her entire person becoming aroused. She kept up a strong front by saying, "I'm alright."

She was already resisting forcefully in order to prevent herself from letting out any unusual moans.

"Real..." Jacob still wanted to inquire.

"Hey hey hey, stop disrupting their conversation.

Come over and have some tea with me." Seth pulled Jacob away from the door.

The other side of the door quieted down.

A wisp of embarrassment flashed past Susan's face involuntarily. She shoved away Julian with one attempt. "You're being a pervert!" Julian looked at her with a spurious smile, "I'm being a pervert? Do you need me to take out our marriage certificate and show it to you?" His deep gaze seemed to carry some other meaning.

Susan blushed ever so slightly. Then, she bit her lower lip and said, "The marriage certificate is turning into a divorce certificate soon." 1 "Divorce certificate?" Julian's gaze appeared dangerous after just one moment. "Woman, who gave you the courage to ask for a divorce without my permission."

Julian's reaction came as a surprise for Susan.

Shouldn't this man be eager to get rid of her?

Moreover, even if Julian refused to divorce her, there was no room for her to stay due to Madam Shaw's overbearingness.

Realizing the meaning in Susan's eyes, Julian raised a n eyebrow and spoke in a stern voice, "My mother is my mother while I am me. No one can force me to do something that I'm not willing to do." His tone of speech sounded as domineering as his usual style.

Susan rolled her eyes at him. "No one can force you? So how did I end up marrying you then?"

In the past, was her matrimony to Julian not forced by Madam Shaw too?
