Chapter 100 He Loves You


    "What''s wrong?" Susan was shocked.


    Jacob looked at Seth with disgust. Then, he too picked up a small piece of cake.


    As soon as he bit into the cake, his usually calm expression changed...


    This taste was...


    "Water, water, water!" Seth yelled. He desperately searched the room for some water to drink.


    Jacob, on the other hand, had his eyes closed and swallowed the cake with ease.


    "What''s going on?" Susan was surprised and reached out to grab a piece of the cake.


    "Don''t eat it." Jacob immediately stopped her.


    "Is it bad?" Susan asked.


    "It''s alright." Jacob hesitated before he continued, "It''s just that... you might’ve mistaken the salt for


    sugar. Also, the amount that you put in. It''s too much."


    Susan was speechless.


    To think that she put in salt instead of sugar. It must taste horrible!


    She couldn''t believe her brother had actually swallowed it whole.


    "I’m so sorry, brother. Here, have some water." Susan hurriedly poured a ss of water.


    "Huff, huff, huff, huff." Seth had already gulped down several cups of water, which relieved the


    terrible salt taste in his mouth.


    He looked at Susan with a horrified look on his face and wailed, "Susan, were you nning to kill


    me?"


    This was definitely a traumatic experience for him, and he would probably think twice before eating


    another cake in the future!


    "Sorry." Susan was a little embarrassed. "My mind was preupied with a few things, and I


    probably wasn''t paying attention."


    Seth perked up his ears and asked, "What kinds of things?"


    Susan hesitated before she proceeded to ask, "What does it mean if a man gives all of his assets to


    a woman?"


    "Do you even need to ask?" Seth rolled his eyes. "This man must love this woman to death."


    "No way." Susan subconsciously denied it.


    "Why is it impossible?" Seth asked, looking at Susan with a gossipy expression. "Susan, did Julian


    give you all of his assets?"


    Susan blushed. She didn''t nod or shake her head, which was kind of a tacit acknowledgment.


    Seth''s eyes shed brightly. "Susan, you''ve turned rich overnight! Please treat us to good food and


    take good care of us in the future."


    "I... " Susan pursed her lips and a hint of confusion shed in her eyes. "But I''m not sure what he


    really means by that."


    "My dear Susan, a man has just given you all his assets. Don’t you know what that means?" Seth


    was beyond speechless.


    "But you also know very well that there''s someone else living in his heart, and that person is not


    me." There was a hint of sourness in Susan''s tone.


    Seth scratched his head and said, "Honestly, I''ve had many girlfriends, and they’ve all been casual


    rtionships, nothingplicated. If things don’t work out, we just go our separate ways. I don''t


    understand theseplicated feelings that you guys are tangled up in. But I definitely know one


    thing for sure. Life is short, and the most important thing is to cherish the person in front of you. In


    Julian''s heart, I’ve no doubt there was once another person, but the person he likes now is you,


    Susan. So, don''t dwell on it."


    "Does he... really like me?" Susan pursed her lips, and a hint of uncertainty shed across her


    eyes. 2


    "Of course." Seth continued, "Susan, seriously, I''ve never seen Julian so attentive towards a woman


    before. Back then, when you were ndered online,


    Julian immediately asked me to hack the post. Usually, he is a calm person. However, during the


    time he was waiting for the job to be done, he kept checking the forum over and over again,


    completely losing his mind. Why do you think he acted that way, Susan?"


    In fact, Seth had been silent about certain things that h e had long wanted to say aloud as he


    watched the couple struggle in theirplicated and tangled rtionship. He had witnessed them


    going back and forth in the rtionship, to the extent that he was quickly going crazy from


    frustration.


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Today, since Susan brought up the topic, he intended t o spew out everything he wanted to say in


    one breath!


    "You were the one that hacked it?" Susan''s eyes shifted slightly. She was aware that the webpage


    was suddenly inessible. However, she didn''t know about the back story.


    Seth nodded, "Jacob and I hacked it together. Susan, Julian even went to that building owner in the


    dead of the night to get her to make a public rification for your sake. He did all these things to


    protect you and also to make sure that Madam Shaw wouldn’t misunderstand you. Furthermore,


    you said that Julian transferred all of his assets to you. Now I understand why he was so busy as of


    late. It takes a lot of work just to count all the properties under Julian''s name, and it''s even more


    troublesome to transfer the stock funds and other things under your name. Hepleted the


    handover in such a short period of time, so you can imagine how much effort he put into i t! Susan,


    if he doesn''t love you and doesn''t really want t o grow old with you, why would he go through all the


    trouble?"


    Susan felt her heart tremble slightly.


    She wasn''t even aware that Julian had done so much for her behind her back.


    So, the person who got Lynn Cheney to post an apology was not Luke, but Julian?


    Then why didn''t he say anything?


    Thinking back at the few times where he would get inexplicably angry, Susan seemed to understand


    why he acted that way now.


    No wonder Julian seemed to be very much exhausted as ofte.


    Every night, he still came home, but every single time, he fell asleep as soon as he got into bed.


    She thought it had something to do with his work.


    However, now that she knew the truth, she was pretty sure that Julian was busy taking inventory of


    his assets.


    "Anyway, Susan, that woman is someone from the past, and you are Julian''s present," Seth


    concluded.


    Seth was usually not a very serious guy and he always looked unreliable.


    However, it was rare for him to say something serious and it truly struck a chord. Susan''s heart was


    overflowing with strange and unexinable emotions.


    That woman was someone from the past.


    And she was the present?


    Perhaps, she should really try to ept Julian?


    While Susan was deep in thought, Seth said with a yful smile, "Susan, I was worried about where


    I could find an investor. Now that you''re so rich, you can invest in us. I can assure you that you''ll


    make a steady profit."


    Seth looked at Susan expectantly.


    Before Susan had a chance to speak, Jacob tly refused, "No!"


    "Why? It''s your sister''s money anyway, it''s a waste not to take it." Seth was puzzled.


    Jacob stubbornly said, "I don''t care about the problems between Julian and Susan, but as I''ve


    mentioned before, I want to rely on my own ability to pay back the money. I also want Madam Shaw


    to apologize to Susan. I don''t want the Straws'' money to fund this project."


    Looking at Jacob''s stubborn expression, Seth had no choice but to concede. "Fine, fine. I''ll listen to


    you."


    It looked like he had no choice but to beg his dad shamelessly now.


    "Brother." Susan was about to say something to Jacob when she was interrupted.


    "Susan." Jacob said somewhat seriously, "I can see that Julian is different from Madam Shaw.


    Julian is good to you, so I don''t oppose your rtionship.


    However, even if the money is in your name, it''s still money that Julian earned. Without anyone to


    back you up, Madam Shaw will always think that you aren’t good enough for Julian. I hope that I


    can be sessful based on my own abilities so that you''ll be able to stand up to the Shaws and


    face them with courage and strength."
