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

Chapter 77 Get Out of the Shaw Family

The gossipy group chat became heated with discussion too at that moment.

"What happened? Can you read that post now? Why did the post disappear just like that?

"Not only that post. The entire website has disappeared!"

"Did Ancient Fox offend somebody else?"

"It might be!"

Their attention was soon diverted to something else i n the group chat. Suddenly, Susan felt that it was meaningless now as she looked at their messages.

Actually, no one cared whether the post was true or false.

The people who trusted her would always have their faith in her.

The people who did not trust her would just treat that post as a gossip. They just enjoyed the excitement it brought them when they condemned her.

Susan did not understand why they would enjoy others’ misfortunes, and she did not want to try to understand them either.

She pursed her lips and switched off the group chat.

Clearly, somebody was targeting her purposely with that post in Ancient Fox.

But who would it be.... In fact, she knew who it was.

She was soon filled with complicated feelings.

Richard's death was somehow related to her. Maybe it was the kind of punishment that she needed to endure.

At that moment, her phone rang.

She looked at the phone screen, and soon she was shocked.

She did not dare to make her wait - she soon answered the phone.

"Mom..."

"I'll give you half an hour. Come home immediately. I'm already here waiting for you." Then, she hung up the phone directly.

'Half an hour?'

Susan was nervous. She did not dare to be slow.

She applied for a leave in a hurry and rushed home.

Madam Shaw was sitting on the sofa, looking at her coldly.

"Mom." Susan addressed her carefully. Then, she sat across from Madam Shaw.

"Take a look at it yourself. What kind of nonsense is this! You've humiliated us immensely!" Madam Shaw threw a newspaper at her vigorously.

Susan was stunned. She took up the newspaper and read it. She slightly paled at the sight of it.

"The identity of Chairman Jenkins’ ex-girlfriend has been exposed. It seems to be one of the employees in Lanyard Construction."

"The rich young lady from the Ainsley family was once faced with an infamous homewrecker, and the identity of the homewrecker has been exposed."

Susan glanced at the striking title and the content below. Certainly, it was taken from the post she had read just now.

"What more do you want to tell me?" Madam Shaw gave her a cold stare.

"What they reported is not true. When I was Luke's girlfriend, he was not engaged to Mandy. They..."

"That's enough. It doesn’t help even if you explain those things to me." Madam Shaw looked at her icily. "I f you're capable, go and stop everyone from spreading the rumors about it."

"I..." Susan bit her lips.

"Susan! When did I offend you? Why did you have to treat us so? You're just a woman who lives in a slum. I let you marry Julian. I even treated your brother's illness. Don't mention other stuff. Just tell me, haven't you led a comfortable life here this past year?

Certainly, the clothes you’re wearing now are worth more than your living expenses for a few years,"

Madam Shaw said.

"Yes," Susan said softly. "I'm grateful to you for saving my brother's life." 1

"Luckily you know about it. Now, you repay my kindness with this nonsense!” Madam Shaw pointed a t the newspaper angrily. "Previously, you humiliated m e in the Jenkins family. Now, you humiliated me again in the eyes of the public! Susan, luckily the person who reported the news didn’t mention that you're my daughter-in-law. Otherwise, I'll be deeply ashamed.”

Susan opened her mouth several times as if she wanted to say something. But she was interrupted by Madam Shaw directly.

"I won't say much to you now. Certainly, we cannot keep a woman like you in our family,” Madam Shaw said without any facial emotion. "Luckily, Julian was smart at that time. He chose to marry you secretly. If not, our entire Shaw family would be burdened by you!”

Susan's hands trembled as she put her hands on her knees. She asked with a low voice, "Mom, what do you mean?"

"We must never expose your relationship with Julian. It’s too risky if you continue to live with Julian,” Madam Shaw said coldly. "I'll arrange another apartment for you for the time being. Just move out. Wait till I find a better replacement, then I'll ask Julian to divorce you immediately.”

Before Susan could say anything, Madam Shaw had stood up. "I specially hired somebody to help you move your luggage. Just tell them what you want to move. Susan, I'll be tolerant toward you given that you've been with Julian for a year now. I won't be so cruel and harsh to you. Julian bought you a few clothes and jewelry. You can take them with you. You might be able to earn some money if you sell them out. It would then be enough for you to treat your brother's illness.”

Madam Shaw looked at her coldly in disdain.

Susan clenched her hands tightly.

She wanted so badly to raise her head high up and tell Madam Shaw that she did not need anything which belonged to them.

But she could not do that.

She gritted her teeth tightly and returned to her room quietly to pack her things.

Madam Shaw was right. She could sell the things Julian bought her. It would be enough for her to treat her brother's illness.

Susan counted the medical fees she needed for Jacob's illness. Then she took a small number of things and put them in her luggage.

She wanted to protect her dignity and claimed that she wanted nothing else which belonged to the Shaw family. 1

But her current state prohibited her from doing so. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Are you done packing up your stuff?" Madam Shaw sneered at her.

"Yes." Susan lowered her head. "I’ll go and tell my brother."

It was natural that Madam Shaw looked down on her.

Sometimes, she looked down on herself too.

She stayed with the Shaw family shamelessly. In fact, she was no better than a beggar.

"There's no need for that. I've told Jacob about it," Madam Shaw said coldly. "He might be done packing u p his stuff by now."

Susan looked up at Madam Shaw immediately. "Did you tell him? How did you tell him?"

No matter how badly and unfairly she was treated, she was fine with it.

But her brother could not take it given his heart condition.

Madam Shaw soon frowned. "Why are you looking at me like that? What did I say to him? Certainly, I asked him to get lost directly."

"You..." Susan could not argue with Madam Shaw anymore. She turned around and went toward Jacob.

"Susie, can we leave now?" Jacob was already standing at the door calmly.

"Brother!" Susan rushed toward him nervously. "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." Jacob smiled faintly.

Madam Shaw looked at them coldly. Then, she asked," Are you done packing up?"

Jacob remained calm. "Yes."

"Good. Just pack up your stuff. Don’t you steal anything or do anything sneaky."

Jacob insisted that Madam Shaw apologize to Susan before. It offended her deeply as she did not want him to have an easy life.

"Mom, you..." Susan looked at her angrily.

Jacob said nothing but opened his suitcase directly. H e said calmly, "The things I brought with me were all the things Susie bought with her salary. I took nothing from you."
