Chapter 577 Give It Back
Chapter 577 Give It Back
"What if I don't want to?" Susan Shelby said coldly.
Julian Shaw suppressed the sadness in his heart and said in an icy cold manner," There’s a small portion of assets that I've notarized. It can't be transferred to anybody else within 50 years. This portion of assets is for you, Chessie, and Luca which is enough for all of you to live a good life. With this, you should be satisfied. The rest of the assets never belonged to you since the start. If you still have a sense of shame, you should give it back."
Susan had obviously mentally prepared herself over and over again and yet the color of her face still turned pale ever so slightly beyond her control.
Heh-heh. So it turned out that she was actually a woman with no sense of shame.
Julian felt his heart wrenched in pain as he looked at her in her current state. He wished that he could stop the plan and wrap his arms around this woman straightforwardly.
Yet, he was still standing on the same spot without budging after all.
"Give it back?" Susan laughed. "So, what you're saying is the same as Willa. You're leaving these assets to your child?"
"It's a boy, so my assets are supposed to be passed down to him," Julian spoke against his will.
"I see." Susan nodded and looked at him calmly. "In the end, you're the same kind of person as your mother. It’s only that she's shameless on the front while you hide your
shamelessness. Julian Shaw, I've been deceived.”
Julian felt his heart trembling in pain but he still put up a strong face and said, "I don’t want to engage in nonsensical talk with you anymore. Just tell me, are you going to give those things
back?"
Susan stood up at once. It felt as if Julian could see the blazing flame in her eyes. ' You want me to give it back?! Who do you think you are! Julian, you're the one who refused to get a divorce previously and dragged me on until now. It was you who insisted on pushing over those things to me and now you're going back on your word? It's too late. Everything I have is for Chessie and Luca. That b*st*rd love son of yoursdon’t even think about it!"
"Susan, stop calling him b*st*rd." Julian raised his arm.
"Mommy!"
Meanwhile, a weak voice was heard.
The door of the closet opened up with Chessie walking out of it with a ghastly pale face.
Chessie! What was she doing here!
Susan’s feet shuffled subconsciously.
Julian was using the action of raising his arm to express his anger supposedly yet he never thought that he would actually hit Susan.
Yet, Chessie's sudden appearance and Susan's change of position had actually made her slam into Julian’s palm.
However, it looked just like Julian was hitting Susan in rage.
He gave her a slap.
Susan froze.
Julian froze.
Chessie and Luca standing behind her froze as well.
A ghastly silence emerged in the room.
Susan lowered her head and did not speak.
Julian felt a suffocating pain in his heart at this very moment.
His hands...had actually hit Susan.
He had actually slapped Susan!
Julian was shaking all over.
"Susie..." Julian could not stand it anymore. He almost wanted to step forward to hold Susan in his arms.
Yet, Susan took a few steps back in silence.
Chessie and Luca had already run over to stand on Susan's sides. Both of them were staring at Julian vigilantly.
A streak of tears streamed down Chessie's delicate face. She refused to look at Julian even but she said to Susan, "Mommy, give those things back to him. I don’t want it.”
She...had actually stopped addressing him as Daddy.
Julian almost lost his footing.
"Chessie, those things are supposed to belong to you and Luca," Susan could not refrain from responding.
"I don't want it. Do you want it, Lucas?" Chesney looked at Lucas.
Lucas shook his head and said with a voice tinged with a maturity that did not match his age, "I don't want it."
Susan considered and squatted down in all apparent seriousness to tell them, "Chessie, Luca, it's okay that you don't understand this yet for now. It’s a very huge amount of money. With that, you'll be able to live a comfortable life. You can buy whatever you want and do whatever your heart pleases.”
"Mommy.” Lucas said in all seriousness," Without this, I can still make the money myself too. Just wait for a few years and wait for me to grow up and I promise that I will protect you and Chesney well so that both of you can live a better life than now. You must trust me."
"Luca, I trust you.” Chesney immediately looked at Luca with an affectionate gaze, then she looked toward Susan. "Mommy, didn’t you use to say, 'You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink?’ The things that he doesn't want to give, we won't want it either. Give the things back to him and as for everything that we need from now on, Luca and I will work hard to earn it together."
The two children were still very young, yet their gazes were extremely determined.
Susan suddenly felt tears welling up in her eyes.
She insisted on guarding this for no other reason but to give it to her two children.
Since the two children didn’t want it...
Susan inhaled a deep breath, then procured some documents from the safe box.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
She passed the documents to Julian with a cold expression. "Here, this is what you asked for. I'm transferring StarTech Co.'s shares to you and I've already signed the transfer papers. We will get a divorce when the handover is completed. Julian, from now on, I hope that we can cut all connections between us."
Susan’s voice sounded as cold as ice.
Julian took over the documents almost shakily. After a long time, he heard his voice answering, "Alright, when the assets have been sorted and counted, we shall get a divorce as you wish."
Susan nodded and opened the door right away. She used her gaze to signify that Julian could leave now.
At this exact moment, she did not even want to speak one more word to this man anymore.
Julian left in silence with his lips tightly pursed.
He did not have the courage to stay anymore either.
He was afraid that he would lose control of himself and tell her the truth.
Julian held the documents and left in total silence all the way.
Chesney appeared to be strong earlier, yet as soon as Julian left, tears streamed down her face.
Susan knelt and held the two children together.
“Chessie, I'm still here," said Lucas steadily.
Chesney nodded heavily. "Hmm, I still have Mommy and Lucas!"
They stayed for a little while until Chesney’s mood stabilized before Susan questioned the two children about how they got into the room.
She found that they came looking for Susan coincidentally and when they could not find Susan, they were about to leave. However, they heard Susan and Julian entering the room so Lucas brought Chesney to hide in the closet.
They did not expect that they would witness the scene earlier.
It was truly a coincidence.
Susan could not help heaving a sigh.
However, perhaps this was for the best too.
There was a saying, 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.' After experiencing this, nothing could hurt Chesney from now on.
Julian had already left by the time Susan took the two children to head downstairs. Yet, Julius Jenner was still waiting in the living hall.
He could not help expressing his concern upon seeing Susan.
