The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 96 Divorce Agreement

Susan felt gooseflesh pebbled all over her skin. She had never seen such a shameless person before.

"What do you say?" Julian raised one of his brows, "If you don't kiss me now, I'll directly let you be the champion."

Susan did not know what to say. The way Julian threatened people was completely different from others.

But what if Julian really did it?

Even though the prize bonus was the main reason she participated in the competition, designing was her hobby and she wanted to be an interior designer in the future. To be able to compete with experts from around the country, she could feel her blood boiling.

Not only did she want the result, but she also wanted to experience the progress. Hence, she did not want Julian to abuse his power to help her secure first place.

"Are you going to kiss me or not?" Julian raised his brows, "I'll give you three minutes to consider. After three minutes, you will be the champion of this competition."

Susan was startled by how shameless Julian was.

She gritted her teeth and slowly inched toward him.

Julian moved his face closer.

Susan gritted her teeth and planted a kiss on his cheek. However, before she could touch his cheek, Julian suddenly turned his face over and Susan's lips landed on his. Julian smiled and deepened the kiss. Susan subconsciously re-positioned herself and reciprocated the kiss.

As she was kissing, she felt disappointed in herself. After being kissed by Julian so many times, her body had been conditioned to the point that it would not reject his kiss anymore. "Well, I'll not let you go through the backdoor for the sake of this kiss," Julian said in an undertone, his voice was deep and seductive.

Susan rolled her eyes inwardly. "Thank you, then."

"You're welcome," Julian replied with a smile.

This time, Susan could not help herself anymore and rolled her eyes in front of Julian.

When she thought about the interior design competition that was around the corner, her eyes glowed. She could not wait any longer to meet the experts from around the country. 'The final review is coming in another week. I must prepare myself so that I can face it in my best

condition!' Susan thought inwardly, her eyes flaring with enthusiasm and dedication.

Julian could not peel his eyes away from Susan. Serious-mode Susan looked even more charming to him. He had never seen this side of her before, and it hit a certain spot in his heart. His heartbeat accelerated and he had never been so certain before that he loved the woman in front of him.

Initially, Susan planned to isolate herself from the outside world all of next week so that she could make preparations for the design competition. However, on the next day, she received a call from Madam Shaw.

Her attitude was as domineering as before as she instructed, "Take your identity card and marriage certificate and come to the Shaw Mansion."

'What does she mean by this?'

Susan's hand trembled slightly.

Finally, it was here. Madam Shaw had found the perfect substitution to replace her.

She closed her eyes and began to reminisce about the things that happened ever since she moved to Seth's apartment. Her relationship with Julian had improved a lot. It made her almost forget that their marriage was actually on the verge of falling apart.

"Are you listening?" Madam Shaw pressed on impatiently when she did not hear anything from Susan.

"Yes," Susan took a deep breath, "I'll come over right now." 1

No matter if it was marriage or divorce, she did not have any choice.

After she got all her documents, she then departed to the Shaw Mansion.

In the Shaw Mansion, Madam Shaw was cussing as she held a newspaper in her hand, "So he is just a con man, and I trusted him so much!"

Confused, Susan walked over to Madam Shaw and greeted, "Mom."

Madam Shaw threw her a sidelong glance and smiled coldly, "I won't be your mother-in-law very soon."

Susan bit her lower lip, but she did not say anything.

"That Great Master Strange is a con man. He lied to me about you helping Julian to avoid disasters, and that's why I allowed you to marry him. See for yourself," Madam Shaw said as she threw the newspaper to Susan.

Susan grabbed the newspaper and took a look. Then, she was stunned.

"The fake Great Master has been arrested."

The news was bottomed on facts and covered in great detail of how this so-called Great Master Strange pretended to be a supernatural being and scammed people of their money and finally ended up in jail. "He claimed that he could see past and 500 hundred years into the future. If he were so great, he wouldn't have been arrested," Madam Shaw said angrily, "I still can't believe I was fooled by such a man." Susan remained silent. She did not believe in such a thing from the beginning. The only reason she accepted Madam Shaw's suggestion was that she was in need of money at that time.

Now that the true colors of the so-called Great Master Strange was exposed, the last thing that held their marriage together had vanished.

Susan gripped the newspaper tighter.

"I've informed Julian as well. After he arrives, you two can go through the formalities for the divorce at the marriage registry. Now, sign this divorce agreement first," Madam Shaw said matter-of-factly as she pointed at the divorce agreement on the table.

"Since you and your brother have a lot of backbone, I guess you don't want anything from the Shaws, right?" Madam Shaw sneered.

Susan took a look at the divorce agreement. According to the agreement, aside from her own salary, she could not bring anything out from the Shaw Mansion.

She was calm. She felt this was fine as well since she did not want to bring anything with her either.

After she read through the agreement and found no problems, she picked up the pen and signed it.

It was only when she was almost finished signing the agreement that she realized her hand was shaking.

Divorce. Did this mean that the two lines that represented Julian and her would never intersect anymore? From now on, the domineering yet childish man who made her feel at ease was at times no longer related to her. 2

"Hurry up," Madam Shaw sneered, "Or do you regret it already, and you don't want to give up the Shaw's properties?"

Susan took a deep breath to calm herself down and finished signing the agreement.

Madam Shaw immediately took the agreement away as a contented smile spread across her face.

Without the Great Master Strange and Susan, she could finally get a daughter from an eminent family for Julian.

Julian arrived only after Susan had signed the agreement. He looked at his mother and then looked a t Susan with a deep frown on his head.

"What's happened, mom?"

Madam Shaw then said exasperatedly "Look at this." 1

Julian glanced through the newspaper quickly and he soon understood what his mother was up to again. The frown on his forehead deepened. 1

It was him who asked Great Master Strange to cooperate with him. He took advantage of his superstitious mother and had her to force him to marry Susan.

He did not expect that Great Master Strange would be busted so soon. Without Great Master Strange, it would be very hard to make his mother believe his words. "Maybe she just happened to be there to help you avoid the disaster," Madam Shaw said. "I think it's better for you two to divorce."
