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

Chapter 436 To Grandma's House

"Susie...” Julian did not know what to say. He looked pleadingly at Susan. "Let's just divorce first, okay?"

He would explain everything properly to Susan after the divorce and tell her that it was fake. It was only meant to deceive Madam Shaw.

"You’re not even giving me a reason? Or do you really think I am the culprit?" Susan looked at Julian quietly, but the latter was still unable to say a thing.

Susan smiled out of the blue, but her smile was mocking. "Julian Shaw, let's forget that I didn't even poison her. Even if I had, given everything your mother has done to me and Chessie, she wouldn’t have been wronged!"

Susan was distressed.

"Julian, did you hear her? She admits it. She said that she's the one who poisoned me." Madam Shaw was as elated as if she had caught her red-handed.

Susan could not be bothered to pay attention to her. Her eyes remained Julian. "I'm asking you for the last time. Do you really want a divorce?"

Madam Shaw kept her gaze on Julian as well.

Pressing his lips together, Julian uttered one word with difficulty. "Yes." "Sure." Susan beamed before turning to Luna. "Mom, can you take me in? You don't despise an abandoned woman like me, right?"

"Susie, what are you even saying? The Wrights' house i s your home. Come back if you wish to. Dad and mom will take care of you forever. We can afford to," Luna declared.

Susan cracked a soft smile. "Thank you, mom."

"Silly girl, what are you thanking me for? Go ahead with the divorce. Don’t worry, I’ll find you a better man afterward. I'll make sure you'll live a much better life than you are now," Luna said instantly.

Susan chuckled and shifted her gaze to Julian. "Do you want to draft a divorce agreement first?" Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yes, draft it! Of course! Immediately!" Madam Shaw agreed without any hesitation.

"You can do it. I’ll just sign my name," Susan said gently. "I don't want anything. I just want to leave with Chessie.”

Julian's heart felt like needles were prickling it. It took a lot of effort before he could say, "Susie, there's n o need to hurry."

"Of course there is. The sooner, the better. You two are not moving a muscle, yeah? I'll draft it for both of you. You can just sign it." Madam Shaw went to do just that swiftly.

Julian and Susan stood in their respective spots in silence. There was merely a meter between them. In the past, they could have hugged each other if both of them took a step forward. Now, this meter felt like the distance between heaven and earth.

Julian apologized profusely in his mind.

'Sorry, sorry, sorry... Susie, once I'm done with mom, I'll explain it all to you at once!' i

Despite the oppressive atmosphere, Madam Shaw was the most joyous person around. She typed and printed the divorce agreement speedily and passed one copy t o Julian and Susan each.

"Take a look. If everything is good, sign your name," she announced eagerly.

Julian did not take it, but Susan took it instantly with a smile. Left with no choice, Julian took the document ultimately.

The content of the divorce agreement was simple.

Susan would return all the transferable assets under her name to Julian and would not partake in property distribution during the divorce. Julian had specifically notarized some of the property, and the ownership was not allowed to be transferred for 50 years. Susan had to sign an agreement that she relinquished her rights over those assets. Then, the document stated that Chesney would live with Susan. 1

"Most of your income in the past few years was earned by Julian. It's not a grievance for you to return the money. But since you’ve spent years with him, I wrote down that you can get 10 million dollars as a settlement fee. You should be happy with the sum,” Madam Shaw said.

10 million dollars?

Susan smirked in ridicule before she signed her name on the divorce agreement without any hesitation and passed it to Julian.

The piece of paper felt like it weighed a ton. Julian could not find it in himself to take it.

Madam Shaw took the agreement as quick as lightning and thrust it at Julian. "Son, sign it now."

"Sign it," Susan chorused faintly.

Without another choice, Julian picked up the pen and signed his name.

There was a total of three copies that they penned their signature on. Each of them would keep one, while the third one would be kept by the notary office as a record.

Susan kept her copy and looked at Julian impassively. "By law, we should go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for the procedure, but I think you'll be able to handle it alone given your influence. I won't participate in whatever follows. Just send me the certificate of divorce when you're done."

She then turned to Luna. "Mom, let’s go."

"Okay." Luna glared at Julian and Madam Shaw before she helped Susan out.

As he watched Susan move farther away from him, a dull throb engulfed Julian's heart. He could not help calling out, "Susie!"

Susan halted, turning and facing Julian in the calmest and most graceful manner possible. "Is something the matter?"

Madam Shaw looked at Julian nervously from the side.

There was a flash of pain in his eyes. Julian said slowly, "You... You've gotten used to staying in this house. I can leave the house to you."

"No need for it." Susan rejected the offer coldly." Without what I treasure the most, this house is just a house."

Susan turned to leave, but Julian could not help stopping her again. "Susie, don't you... don't you have anything to pack?"

She answered faintly, "The Wrights have everything that Chessie and I will need. I don't want the things I have here anymore. Throw them away, crash them, or burn them. It's up to you."

Without another pause, Susan left the room with Luna. 1

Julian's reflex was to give chase, but he was held back in a vice grip by Madam Shaw. When he turned

around to look at the restless Madam Shaw, he could only freeze in despair.

The servant was playing with Chessie outside in the

garden.

Susan bent down to pick the girl up and said softly," Chessie, let's go."

"Where are we going, mommy?" Chessie asked, looking a bit puzzled.

"To grandma's house." Luna took Chessie from Susan's arms and gazed at the child with fond sympathy.

"Are we playing in grandma's house? Okay!" Chessie agreed with a chirp. "What about daddy? Is daddy not going with us? I saw daddy coming home just now."

"Your dad won’t be going." That was all Luna could say, as she did not know how to explain to the child that her parents were divorcing.

"Oh, daddy must be busy again. Never mind him.

Grandma, let's go now!" Chessie cheered.

Luna smiled at her and led them into the car.

Once she was in the car, Susan's feigned composure shattered. She let her collected mask go and lost consciousness right away.
