The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 191 Is Life Too Peaceful For You?

The next day.

"Can you stop following me...” Jacob Shelby had just walked out of the toilet when he found Julian Shaw waiting for him at the door. A wisp of helplessness seeped out of his icy cold face.

"Only if you tell me Susan's address," said Julian.

"No, Susie will get angry at me," said Jacob.

"Oh," answered Julian. "I shall continue to follow you then."

Jacob took a seat in front of the computer, and Julian took a seat next to him.

Jacob said, "...Can you please stop following me?"

"Only if you tell me Susan's address."

"No, Susie will get angry at me."

Seth Leeds was about to have a mental breakdown from listening to their conversation.

He scratched his head. "Both of you have been having this conversation ninety-nine times if not one hundred times, right? Are you done?"

"Judging from the current situation, it’s not done yet," said Julian calmly.

Julian would never give up on Jacob knowing that

Jacob knew Susie's current address.

Meanwhile, Julian’s phone suddenly rang.

Julian furrowed his brows. "Mother?"

"Julian, what happened to you and Susan?” Madam Shaw asked straightforwardly, "I'm now at your villa but both of you aren't home. What happened? I asked the people from the company and found that both of you aren't at the company either. Susan has even applied for leave! I called her but her phone was turned off. What is this?"

"Mother, Susie is only out traveling to clear her mind," said Julian.

"Clear her mind?" Madam Shaw scoffed. "Do you think that I don't know? She's throwing a tantrum, isn't she?"

"It's none of your business." NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"Why are you still trying to hide? I’ve seen the divorce papers and that letter too!" Madam Shaw could not help feeling furious. "This woman is really petty. Do you think that she's throwing a tantrum for you? She's actually throwing a tantrum for me! It was me who made you visit Isa in the hospital. I bet she still holds grudges about this incident. Don’t tell me that this is normal for you. Even if something were to happen between you, Susan should endure it obediently. How dare you throw a tantrum, run away from home, and propose a divorce! Julian, since she has already said s o, then you should fulfill her wish too right away! I can see that Isabelle Shelby is much better than her too!”

Julian could not help frowning.

He had actually forgotten to hide these items because he was too anxious at the time. Yet, Madam Shaw had found these items.

Julian narrowed his eyes and asked suddenly," Mother, why do you suddenly think of looking for Susie?"

His mother had always thought badly of Susie. Generally, both of them would never meet each other unless there was an important family affair or a family feast.

"Hmph.” Madam Shaw scoffed coldly. "I won't be bothered to look for her, only that Isa has been constantly persuading me to treat Susan kindly during this period of time. She said that you're the one who ends up caught in the middle of our feud. I can tell that her statement makes sense so I'm planning to form a good relationship with her! I didn't expect to discover such a huge incident. You still plan to hide it from me had I not seen it with my own eyes!"

"Julian, you should listen to my advice. How can a woman as stubborn as Susan be worthy of being the Shaw family's daughter-in-law?"

Madam Shaw advised him earnestly.

The only word that Julian heard was Isabelle's name.

A cold glint flashed past his eyes involuntarily. He was too busy looking for Susie to take further action for the time being. He wondered if Isabelle was getting bored because her life was too peaceful?

"Mother." Julian suppressed the icy coldness in his heart and said nonchalantly, "Divorce huh? Sure, let m e make arrangements for my assets before I send Susan away. After all, those assets are all transferred t o her ownership now..."

"Don't, don't, don't." Madam Shaw reacted to the situation so she hastily said, "It's better not to get the divorce for the time being. However, you must teach her to control her temper."

Julian agreed casually before he hung up the call.

"What’s all this?" Madam Shaw still felt rather resentful in her heart.

'Julian must have lost his mind! Had he not transferred all his assets to her, would this woman still have the courage to be so stubborn?’

"Madam Shaw... You've just, why did you mention my name?" said Isabelle Shelby with a panic- stricken look.

It was true that she talked Madam Shaw into coming over, yet she did not expect that Madam Shaw would call her out just like that.

"Why are you bothered by that? You helped to put in s o many kind words for Susan so Julian should owe a debt of gratitude to you," said Madam Shaw.

Julian would owe a debt of gratitude to her?

It would be fine if Julian did not take her life!

Isabelle could not help complaining in her heart.

Ever since her act of pretending to be Little Flower was exposed, she came to Madam Shaw in an effort to curry favor with her. Madam Shaw was an extremely important family member to Julian. Isabelle felt that even if she was not Little Flower, it may not necessarily be a hopeless situation for her if she could gain Madam Shaw’s support.

She coerced Madam Shaw to come today on purpose s o that Madam Shaw would discover that Susan ran away from home and that she would become displeased with Susan.

Her effort was a success. Madam Shaw was genuinely displeased with Susan, yet she had also mentioned about Isabelle's role in this incident...

She wondered how Julian would react to this.

Isabelle turned ghastly pale the more she thought about it.

She suppressed the fear in her heart forcibly and accompanied Madam Shaw to dinner before she returned to the Shelbys.

It was exhausting for Isabelle to curry favor with Madam Shaw with painstaking efforts.

She entered the house and had yet to exhale a breath o f relief when she heard someone scolding, "Isabelle Shelby, still remember your home, huh?”

Mr. Shelby looked at Isabelle furiously. "Do you know the extent of you causing harm to the company? The people from Lanyard Construction came to expedite the goods again. Yet, our company is utterly incapable of producing goods that are up to standard. If this continues, it's more than just the issue of compensating two million but the reputation of our entire company will be ruined! Our entire family is in a nervous state and yet you seem to be doing fine not being at home all day."

"How is this my fault?" Isabelle said apathetically, "If you can produce the goods properly, Lanyard Construction won't be able to make an issue out of this matter either."

"How dare you lecture me?" Mr. Shelby could not help being infuriated. "I'll beat you to death, you unfilial daughter."

Mrs. Shelby tugged at him then said, "Isa, you caused all of this after all. You have to solve this matter!"

"That's right, you have to solve the matter.” Yvonne chimed in.

"Shut up. Don't forget that you play a role in this matter too, idiot." Mr. Shelby glared at Yvonne.

Yvonne immediately stopped speaking.

Isabelle’s expression was cold and desolate as she watched the scene. "Don’t worry, I’ll figure out a way. D o you think that I went out for fun? I was accompanying Madam Shaw! If I find a way into

Madam Shaw’s life, there's nothing Julian can do to us anymore."

"Madam Shaw?" Mr. Shelby's expression turned slightly more pleasant. "Can you find a way into Madam Shaw's life?"
