Chapter 71 Did You Know About Her Relationship With Luke Before
Madam Shaw's facial expression worsened as she listened to Mandy more. She had lived quite a long time now. When was she blamed and scolded like that by a younger person before?
But she knew nothing about the things Mandy was talking about at that moment. All of a sudden, she did not know how to retort to Mandy.
"Mandy, stop talking!" Madam Jenkins pretended to stop her when Mandy was done speaking.
"I'll talk about it nevertheless." Mandy stared at Madam Shaw. "I heard that you’re always a fair person. I just want to see how you're going to explain i t to me today!”
Madam Shaw's facial expression darkened. She looked at Susan coldly. Then, she said, "Why are you still sitting there? Come here, quick!”
Susan gritted her teeth and stood up unsteadily.
She was drugged before, so she rushed to the washroom and splashed herself with cold water in order to control the effects of the drug.
But she was still suffering from the drug. She was dizzy, but she managed to suppress the hot burning sensation deep in her heart at last with the extreme coldness.
The moment she stood up, Susan was dizzy and she staggered.
"Susie!" Luke went forward to support her subconsciously.
Madam Shaw became stern and fierce all of a sudden.
She went forward and pulled Susan to her. Then, she looked at Luke coldly. "You don't have to worry about my daughter-in-law."
Luke gritted his teeth. After that, he said, "Yes. But Madam Shaw, Susie's clothes are wet. She'll get sick i n this kind of weather if she's left in this drenched state. You better allow her to change her clothes first."
"She asked you not to worry about Susan but you refuse to do so!" Mandy stared at Luke angrily. "Just how good is that b*itch? Why can't you forget about her?"
"Shut up! Don't condemn Susie like that!" Luke could not help but say.
"You even addressed her as Susie. Luke, it seems like you couldn't wait for the others to know that you're having an affair with Susan!" Mandy gritted her teeth and seethed.
Luke frowned and looked over at Madam Shaw and realized that her facial expression had darkened.
"Susan, what more do you want to say for yourself?"
Madam Shaw asked her coldly. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Mom..." Susan said weakly. "I was drugged. Now, I'm still dizzy. Can you let me sit for a while?"
"Who would drug you?" Madam Shaw ignored her and asked coldly.
Susan looked toward Charlotte.
Charlotte screamed. "Don't you accuse me wrongly. Of course, I want my brother and sister-in-law to have a lovely relationship. Why would I drug you?"
"Charlotte would never do such a thing!" Mandy stared at Susan angrily. "Susan, don’t you look for excuses anymore!"
Susan's head hurt even more. She gritted her teeth and said, "I didn’t, I was really..."
"That’s enough!" Madam Shaw interrupted Susan icily. Her face had darkened.
No matter what happened, Susan did have a romantic relationship with Luke before. She even clung onto Luke now. It was indeed an immense humiliation for the Shaw family!
So Julian must not be with Susan anymore!
"Madam Jenkins, I'll leave with her first. After I ask her about the details, I'll come and give you an explanation. Okay?" Madam Shaw looked at Madam Jenkins. Her facial expression was unpleasant.
In fact, she was not stupid. It was rare for Madam Jenkins to invite Madam Shaw over. Then, she
bumped into that scene there and then.
She would not believe it if Madam Shaw was not the one plotting the scheme. 2
But they still needed to make Susan fall into the trap even if Madam Jenkins was there planning the scheme. Susan had indeed humiliated the Shaw family greatly.
"How chaotic!” Madam Jenkins sighed. "Madam Shaw, don't be so angry. Talk it out nicely with her. Then, everything will be resolved.”
Madam Shaw smiled coldly but remained quiet. After that, she dragged Susan out of the place.
Subconsciously, Luke wanted to go after them. But he suppressed his urge when he saw how fierce Madam Shaw appeared.
Now, he understood that it would infuriate Madam Shaw more if he showed concern for Susan. Then, Susan would not have an easy life.
Luke clenched both of his hands tightly and forced himself to suppress it.
Madam Shaw used much greater force on her. Susan was weak at the moment, so she staggered.
"How dare you pretend to be weak even up until now! Move faster! Didn’t you bring enough shame upon yourself and our family?" Madam Shaw was filled with deep wrath. She then raised her hand as she wanted to slap Susan's face.
"Susie!” Luke called after her. He did not manage to hold himself back at that moment.
However, someone else grabbed Madam Shaw’s hand before Luke could go after them.
"You..." Madam Shaw turned around angrily. She was about to scold the person who stopped her, but she soon saw Julian standing there behind her calmly.
"Mom, why are you so angry?" Julian asked her.
"You better ask your wife what she’s done. If I was one moment late, maybe she would have betrayed you by now!" Madam Shaw said angrily.
Julian glanced at Susan.
"Julian, I..." Susan's face was as pale as a sheet.
Julian let go of Madam Shaw's hand and walked toward Susan.
Charlotte triumphed over Susan's misfortune. She just wanted to see whether Julian would tolerate Susan this time around.
"What happened?" Julian asked her.
"I came here because I was lied to. I was even drugged." Susan gritted her teeth. "The drug is still working. If I didn’t splash myself with cold water, I wouldn’t even be conscious now."
Julian bent down and lifted her up. "Come, let’s go home so you can change your clothes.”
Julian lifted her up and walked toward the door. The others were stunned.
Was that it?
"Julian, why did you trust her so?" Charlotte was reluctant to accept the truth.
Julian glanced at Charlotte. He seemed cold and fierce. "I'll deal with you later."
He seemed so frightening that Charlotte could not help but take a step back.
Julian ignored her. He hugged Susan in his arms and left without turning back.
"Madam Shaw, this..." Madam Jenkins looked at them with a stunned facial expression.
"I told you that I'll give you an explanation." Madam Shaw left expressionlessly after she said that.
She would be too embarrassed to linger at the Jenkins ' family residence any more.
In the Shaw Mansion, Mama Jean was helping Susan with her bath. She also helped Susan change her clothes.
Both Julian and Madam Shaw were sitting in the living room.
Madam Shaw looked at Julian coldly. "Shouldn't you give me an explanation regarding the things I've heard about?"
"Mom, it’s true that Susie was framed by them today. I investigated it and found out that she went to the Jenkins family because she received a call from Charlotte. Besides, you could see how weird her body condition was...”
Before Julian could finish talking, he was interrupted by Madam Shaw directly.
"Nothing happens without a reason. I just want to ask you this - how could Charlotte make her go there with just a simple call if she had nothing to do with Luke? Tell me, did you know about her relationship with Luke before?"
