Chapter 44 Verification


    At the Shaw residence, Mama Jean had already prepared dinner.


    Julian looked at Susan and Jacob, who were having augh, and a smile emerged on his face.


    "Julian, you''re home. I bought a coat for my brother," Susan said with a smile.


    "Oh." Although Julian knew this from the live updates that Charlotte had fed him, he still felt slightly


    jealous.


    "And this shirt is for you." Just when jealousy reared its ugly head, a blushing Susan passed him an


    intricate box. "I don''t know what your preference is, but see if you like it."


    He had something too?


    Although Julian was overjoyed, he kept a straight face. "Woman, you only have good taste in


    choosing your husband. Other than that, your taste is still questionable."


    "It''s okay if you don''t want it." Susan became angry.


    "Are you taking back the present you just gave me?" Julian snorted. "I’ll take it since you''ve put the


    effort into buying this. I''ll wear it when I''m in a good mood."


    The words this man used were so infuriating that Susan ignored him angrily.


    The next day, Susan saw Julian in his new shirt." Didn''t you say you’d only wear it if you were in a


    good mood?"


    "You’re lucky that I’m in a good mood today," Julian answered calmly. 1


    This person...Susan did not know how to react to that instance.


    In the office, Julian finished signing his documents and suddenly asked his secretary, "What do you


    think about me today?" 1


    Startled, the secretary only spoke shakily after a long while, "CEO, you''re handsome and


    domineering as usual."


    "Really? Describe me in a more specific way." Julian''s eyebrows rxed.


    "Specifically..." She started to panic.


    The big boss was asking a question which might be a test. If she did not pass this test, would she


    be terminated from her job?


    The secretary looked at Julian and realized that he was adjusting the sleeve of his shirt. Suddenly,


    she said aloud, "Specifically, the shirt that you’re wearing looks exceptionally stylish.”


    Julian smiled and then said lightly, "It''s not too shabby. My friend got this for me."


    The secretary kept quiet. ’A friend? This is definitely


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    not an ordinary friend.''


    Nheless, as a professional secretary, she quickly controlled her emotions and said with a


    sincere expression on her face, "Chairman Shaw, your friend has really good taste.”


    "It''s just ordinary," Julian said but his smile was obvious.


    The secretary paid attention to his words and wildly praised the rumored friend, then she left the


    office.


    After a while, the chief engineer came to report on the work.


    Julianplimented, "Very good. I''m satisfied with your summary. It''s as simple and clear as my


    shirt."


    Then, there was a management meeting.


    "Your n doesn’t work. Although our bungalows are aimed at the rich, most of them don''t like such


    an obvious design. Even if it''s luxurious, it should be low-key luxurious, alright? It’s like how simple


    my shirt looks but it’s actually not ordinary at all.”


    "Your idea is good, just like my shirt. It''s pure and white but still gives people the feeling of unlimited


    imagination.”


    "You...”


    The entire day, everyone who saw Julian was forced t o listen about how amazing his shirt was. 4


    If not for someone who leaked that the shirt had been given to Julian by a friend, everyone would


    have thought that he was switching his business model to selling shirts.


    However...this friend was definitely not an ordinary friend. Could Chairman Shaw’s heart have


    settled down? Nevertheless, nobody heard anything about it.


    Looking at Chairman Shaw’s tant expression, the single men were infuriated. There was also a


    ruckus i n the gossip chat groups.


    "Chairman Shaw isn''t seeing his girlfriends anymore. I t must be true that he has met his true love."


    "That''s right. Look at him. I can guarantee that he has fallen into the river of love." 2


    "I''m really curious who this person is..."


    Susan looked at the discussion and felt helpless. She had given the shirt to him.


    However, Julian’s true love was somebody else.


    But...


    Did he really like the shirt that much?


    Susan blinked.


    After work, Julian waited for her at a more secluded area as usual.


    Susan was about to walk over and suddenly somebody grabbed her arm.


    It startled her.


    "Susan, it''s me.”


    She turned and saw Luke Jenkins.


    "Why are you here?" Susan freed her arm.


    Luke''s eyes dimmed slightly, then he said, "Susan, I have something to ask you."


    However, she intentionally kept a distance from him. " What is it?"


    "I have verified with my mother that we were in a rtionship before."


    Susan was shocked, but she smiled with sarcasm. "Oh, was she willing to tell you?"


    He looked at her and said sincerely, "But I don''t believe some of the things she said, so I need to


    verify them with you."


    "Really? What did she say?" She became curious at this point.


    Madam Jenkins had wished that Luke would never remember her, yet she actually told him about


    their past. This was not Madam Jenkins’s style.


    Luke''s gaze was intense as he said slowly, "She said that the reason for our breakup is that I found


    out that the one you loved wasn''t me but the Jenkins family''s wealth. I got into an ident because


    I was too hurt b y you and lost focus." 1


    Susan listened to the words that sounded like a nightmare and a trace of anxiety shed across her


    eyes. Then, she smiled faintly. "What else did she say?" "She said that after my ident, you


    wanted a breakup fee and asked $100,000 from her," Luke said. He locked his gaze on her and saw


    every emotion that flitted across her face. However, she looked eerily calm.


    "So, that''s what she told you." Susan looked at Luke. " What about you? Did youe here to ask


    me because you believe her?"


    "No!" Luke suddenly got annoyed. "Susan, I came to ask you because I want to know the truth, the


    truth that everyone knows about except me. Please tell me i f what my mother said is true."


    Susan''s lips suddenly held a mocking smile. Those words from Madam Jenkins were obviously


    white lies. However, since Luke asked her, he already believed some of those lies. He thought in his


    heart that Susan might be such a person, hence him being nervous and anxious.


    Although Luke had lost his memories, his uncertainty still hurt Susan deeply. This was, after all, the


    man she loved with all her heart!


    "So, what exactly do you want to know?" She looked at him.
