Chapter 65 Etiquette Does Not Work Either
"When I was in university, I was... Then, I became..." Seth continued to bber on and on.
Jacob paid him no heed as he continued to enjoy his meal.
"Is your friend... Won’t he feel tired?" Susan took a look at the clock and realized that Seth had been
talking for almost 30 minutes straight.
"He is used to it," Julian replied calmly.
Susan did not know what to say. This was the first time she came across a man who could talk so
much i n her life.
All of a sudden, Jacob put down his spoon and fork." Are you finally going to ept me as your
apprentice?" Seth''s eyes shone as he eximed, a triumphant expression shed across his face.
After all, nobody would say no to him when he yed his trump card by talking nonstop.
Just when Seth thought Jacob was about to say something to him, he looked straight at Susan and
said, "I''m full."
"Good job, Jacob," Susan responded with a smile and nted a kiss on his cheek. 1
Jacob grinned back in return. Then, just as he was about to return to his seat, Susan called out,
"Don''t sit
down after eating, Jacob."
Jacob nodded obediently. He stood beside the desk, picked up a newspaper, and started reading it.
Seth was stunned. He turned to Susan and stammered, "Susan, your brother...”
Susan cast Seth a wry smile before exining, "I''m sorry, but my brother has a screw loose in his
brain. H e is like a kid, so I''m certain that he did not get anything that you told him."
"I see," replied Seth. He threw a gaze towards Jacob''s direction, a hint of surprise crossed his face.
He believed in what Susan had said. After all, she had no reason to make such a thing up. Although
Jacob was extraordinarily gifted, he was wed. Perhaps this was what they used to say, "When
God gives you something, He will take another thing away from you."
"I see you didn''t eat much just now. The food has turned cold, let me warm them up for you," said
Susan softly.
"It''s okay. I can eat like this," answered Seth. As he set his eyes on thest Buffalo wing, Julian beat
him to it.
Then, he began enjoying the wings gracefully as Seth watched on in bewilderment.
"You, you, you..." Seth looked at him, still surprised at what had just transpired, "I’m your guest,
Julian! Is this how you treat your guest?” "Susie made these Buffalo wings. You’re not qualified t o
eat them," Julian said expressionlessly.
Seth broke out in rage, "Why am I not qualified to eat the Buffalo wings that Susan made?"
However, Julian was not going to answer that question. He took his time and leisurely finished the
Buffalo wing.
Taking on a hurt expression, Seth turned to Susan and whined his grievance, "Susan, your husband
is bullying me. Can''t you do something about it?"
Susan cleared her throat to dismiss her embarrassment. Then, she replied, "I''ll make it for you
again the next time youe."
Seth was moved. Tears began to well in his eyes as he said, "You’re so nice, Susan. You''re too
good for Julian. He doesn''t deserve you. Actually, I''m pretty handsome as well. Besides, I''m young
and promising, so why don''t you..."
"Keep your mouth shut and finish your meal," glowered Julian as he stuffed a piece of lobster into
Seth''s mouth, pushing the rest of Seth''s sentence to his stomach pit.
By the time Seth finished chewing the lobster, he lifted his head and saw Julian was looking at him
with another piece in his hand. Not wanting to choke t o his death, he put his hand up in surrender.
"Okay, okay, I''ll keep quiet starting from now on." 1
It was only then that Julian smiled and put down his fork.
Susan let out a chuckle after she witnessed the fun interaction between Julian and Seth. This was
the first time she saw Julian being so mischievous and fun around people.
After they filled their stomachs, Seth continued his quest to conquer Jacob with his tongue.
However, it seemed that he had finally met his Waterloo. No matter how much he talked to him, he
just gave him the cold shoulder.
"I surrender, Susan. Your brother is just like a brick wall. No matter how much I talk to him, he just
won''t give me any response," Seth sighed dejectedly.
Blinking her eyes, Susan had no answer towards that remark. It took her quite a while to piece
together a reply. Putting on a serious expression, she said, "Well, actually, I''m quite impressed that
you can keep it up for so long. After all, not everyone can talk to a wall."
Seth was stumped. He did not feelforted at all.

"Alright, it’s almost 9 pm, you can get lost now," Julian said after he took a look at the clock, the hint
of annoyance was thick in his voice. 1
"I just did you a big favor, and you''re chasing me away? Do you know how hard it is to dig up
something about Richard Jenkins, you ungrateful son of a b*tch?” Seth snarled.
''Richard Jenkins?'' Susan stifled a nce at Julian.
''Did Julian ask Seth to investigate Richard?''
As if he sensed her eyes, Julian returned a soothing gaze of his own. After that, he rose to his feet
and dragged Seth towards the door.
"Let go of me, you b*st*rd! Ahh! Goodbye Susan, see you tomorrow!"
"Alright, get the hell out of my house,” said Julian as h e hurled Seth onto the ground before his car.
"Can you behave more like a civilized person and less like an uncultivated baboon? You''re the CEO
of apany, you know?" said Seth as he dusted his clothes. Then, he leaned closer to Julian and
whispered, "Did you notice Susan’s expression when I mentioned Richard Jenkins just now?"
Throwing him a sidelong nce, Julianplimented, "Not bad. You''re quite an observer."
A proud grin hopped onto Seth''s lips as he replied," You bet. Just so you know, I''m..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, Julian interjected, "Next time, don''t talk about Richard
Jenkins in front of Susie."
"B-But why?" Seth asked as disbelief filled his voice.
"Richard Jenkins is dead. I guess you will receive the news soon once the Jenkins return from Bali,"
Julian said in response.
"Richard Jenkins is dead?" Seth eximed. He had never expected this at all. Then, something
crossed his mind and his expression turned serious. He pressed on and asked the question on his
mind, "But what has it got to do with Susan?"
"Someone is trying to me Richard Jenkins'' death o n Susan,” Julian responded calmly.
"Now I get it," Seth said as he had already figured it all out. "So that''s the reason you asked me to
look into Richard Jenkins''s health report. Then, what about the mistress? You think that she is the
breakthrough point?"
"Yes." Julian nodded, then continued, "I''m going to send more people after her and see if I can get
more information."
"You don''t have as many connections as I do in this aspect. How about this? I''ll help you watch over
that mistress, and I''ll let you know once I get any news," Seth said, offering his help.
Julian did not refuse his help. He nodded in assent." I''ll leave it to you then."
He did not thank Seth. After all, the word "thank" was not needed in their friendship.
"Leave it to me. By the way," Seth moved on as a ttering smile appeared on his face, "I''m very
interested in the mobile operating system that Jacob i s doing, so if possible, can I..."
Julian gave him a speechless look. "Fine, fine, fine. You cane whenever you want, but
remember, don''t touch Susan."
"What the? When did I touch Susan? All I did was shake her hand. This is called etiquette, you
know? You boorish barbarian."
"I don''t care. No means no. Don''te to my house if you can''t abide by that rule," Julian stated
stubbornly, causing Seth to roll his eyes.
"Look at you. You are not the Julian Shaw that I know anymore. I''m sure I won’t be like you
after I get married."
"TH see to it, then. Remember what you said today. Now, get lost!" Julian sneered as he kicked
Seth''s butt.
"F*ck you, Julian! Why would I have a friend like you? Argh! Stop it! Stop it now! Argh!"
The night was filled with Seth’s cries.
