Chapter 436 To Grandma''s House
"Susie...” Julian did not know what to say. He looked pleadingly at Susan. "Let''s just divorce first,
okay?"
He would exin everything properly to Susan after the divorce and tell her that it was fake. It was
only meant to deceive Madam Shaw.
"You’re not even giving me a reason? Or do you really think I am the culprit?" Susan looked at
Julian quietly, but thetter was still unable to say a thing.
Susan smiled out of the blue, but her smile was mocking. "Julian Shaw, let''s forget that I didn''t even
poison her. Even if I had, given everything your mother has done to me and Chessie, she wouldn’t
have been wronged!"
Susan was distressed.
"Julian, did you hear her? She admits it. She said that she''s the one who poisoned me." Madam
Shaw was as ted as if she had caught her red-handed.
Susan could not be bothered to pay attention to her. Her eyes remained Julian. "I''m asking you for
thest time. Do you really want a divorce?"
Madam Shaw kept her gaze on Julian as well.
Pressing his lips together, Julian uttered one word with difficulty. "Yes." "Sure." Susan beamed
before turning to Luna. "Mom, can you take me in? You don''t despise an abandoned woman like
me, right?"
"Susie, what are you even saying? The Wrights'' house i s your home. Come back if you wish to.
Dad and mom will take care of you forever. We can afford to," Luna dered.
Susan cracked a soft smile. "Thank you, mom."
"Silly girl, what are you thanking me for? Go ahead with the divorce. Don’t worry, I’ll find you a better
man afterward. I''ll make sure you''ll live a much better life than you are now," Luna said instantly.
Susan chuckled and shifted her gaze to Julian. "Do you want to draft a divorce agreement first?"
"Yes, draft it! Of course! Immediately!" Madam Shaw agreed without any hesitation.
"You can do it. I’ll just sign my name," Susan said gently. "I don''t want anything. I just want to leave
with Chessie.”
Julian''s heart felt like needles were prickling it. It took a lot of effort before he could say, "Susie,
there''s n o need to hurry."
"Of course there is. The sooner, the better. You two are not moving a muscle, yeah? I''ll draft it for
both of you. You can just sign it." Madam Shaw went to do just that swiftly.
Julian and Susan stood in their respective spots in silence. There was merely a meter between
them. In the past, they could have hugged each other if both of them took a step forward. Now, this
meter felt like the distance between heaven and earth.
Julian apologized profusely in his mind.
''Sorry, sorry, sorry... Susie, once I''m done with mom, I''ll exin it all to you at once!'' i
Despite the oppressive atmosphere, Madam Shaw was the most joyous person around. She typed
and printed the divorce agreement speedily and passed one copy t o Julian and Susan each.
"Take a look. If everything is good, sign your name," she announced eagerly.
Julian did not take it, but Susan took it instantly with a smile. Left with no choice, Julian took the
document ultimately.
The content of the divorce agreement was simple.
Susan would return all the transferable assets under her name to Julian and would not partake in
property distribution during the divorce. Julian had specifically notarized some of the property, and
the ownership was not allowed to be transferred for 50 years. Susan had to sign an agreement that
she relinquished her rights over those assets. Then, the document stated that Chesney would live
with Susan. 1
"Most of your ie in the past few years was earned by Julian. It''s not a grievance for you to
return the money. But since you’ve spent years with him, I wrote down that you can get 10 million
dors as a settlement fee. You should be happy with the sum,” Madam Shaw said.
10 million dors?
Susan smirked in ridicule before she signed her name on the divorce agreement without any
hesitation and passed it to Julian.
The piece of paper felt like it weighed a ton. Julian could not find it in himself to take it.
Madam Shaw took the agreement as quick as lightning and thrust it at Julian. "Son, sign it now."
"Sign it," Susan chorused faintly.
Without another choice, Julian picked up the pen and signed his name.
There was a total of three copies that they penned their signature on. Each of them would keep
one, while the third one would be kept by the notary office as a record.
Susan kept her copy and looked at Julian impassively. "Byw, we should go to the Civil Affairs
Bureau for the procedure, but I think you''ll be able to handle it alone given your influence. I won''t
participate in whatever follows. Just send me the certificate of divorce when you''re done."
She then turned to Luna. "Mom, let’s go."
"Okay." Luna red at Julian and Madam Shaw before she helped Susan out.
As he watched Susan move farther away from him, a dull throb engulfed Julian''s heart. He could
not help calling out, "Susie!"
Susan halted, turning and facing Julian in the calmest and most graceful manner possible. "Is
something the matter?"
Madam Shaw looked at Julian nervously from the side.
There was a sh of pain in his eyes. Julian said slowly, "You... You''ve gotten used to staying in this
house. I can leave the house to you."
"No need for it." Susan rejected the offer coldly." Without what I treasure the most, this house is just
a house."
Susan turned to leave, but Julian could not help stopping her again. "Susie, don''t you... don''t you
have anything to pack?"
She answered faintly, "The Wrights have everything that Chessie and I will need. I don''t want the
things I have here anymore. Throw them away, crash them, or burn them. It''s up to you."
Without another pause, Susan left the room with Luna. 1
Julian''s reflex was to give chase, but he was held back in a vice grip by Madam Shaw. When he
turned
around to look at the restless Madam Shaw, he could only freeze in despair.

The servant was ying with Chessie outside in the
garden.
Susan bent down to pick the girl up and said softly," Chessie, let''s go."
"Where are we going, mommy?" Chessie asked, looking a bit puzzled.
"To grandma''s house." Luna took Chessie from Susan''s arms and gazed at the child with fond
sympathy.
"Are we ying in grandma''s house? Okay!" Chessie agreed with a chirp. "What about daddy? Is
daddy not going with us? I saw daddying home just now."
"Your dad won’t be going." That was all Luna could say, as she did not know how to exin to the
child that her parents were divorcing.
"Oh, daddy must be busy again. Never mind him.
Grandma, let''s go now!" Chessie cheered.
Luna smiled at her and led them into the car.
Once she was in the car, Susan''s feignedposure shattered. She let her collected mask go and
lost consciousness right away.
