Chapter 544 Starting A New Life


    "Eh? Isn''t that Uncle Jacob''s voice?" Chessie''s eyes lit up.


    Susan pursed her lips. Knowing that she could not escape, she opened the door silently.


    As soon as the door opened, Luna rushed in and hugged her. "My girl, how could you just leave


    without telling your parents? Didn''t you know that we''d worry about you?"


    Upon seeing everybody''s anxious expressions, Susan felt a little guilty. After a while, she exined


    softly, "I wanted to inform you after I''d settled down. If I were to tell you earlier, I was afraid that you


    wouldn’t let mee here..."


    So you went with the fait apli tactic. huh?" George looked at Susan with approving eyes. "Such


    decisiveness... That''s so like my style. The apple truly does not fall far from the tree."


    "Shut up, old man!" Luna could not help but re at George. What was this idiot thinking? Was this


    action worthy of praise?


    Was this meant to encourage Susie to do this all the time in the future?


    Luna simply wondered how she had fallen in love with George.


    Feeling Luna''s re, George stopped talking cowardly.


    Susan cleared her throat and said gently," Don''t worry about me, mom. I just wanted to leave and


    go to a serene and quiet ce.”


    The reason Susan wanted to be left in peace was obvious to everyone present.


    Luna took Susan''s hands suddenly and said with a distressed expression, "Susie, mom knows that


    you might have felt a little upset if you''d stayed in Skyking City, but you didn''t have toe this far.


    We could stay in the suburbs. As long as we don’t run into the people we don''t want to meet, it will


    be okay, right?"


    Susan pursed her lips and then expressed her thoughts very solemnly. "Mom, I won''t lie to you, I


    can’t get that man off my mind. However, since he has already betrayed me, I don''t want to humbly


    beg him for anything. If I were to stay in Skyking City, there would be too many people around who


    know me. I don’t want to see their sympathetic or gloating gazes. On the other hand, Jerucity is


    great. It''s far from both Skyking City and Ningcheng City, so the people around here don’t know me.


    Thus, I don’t have to worry about awkward gazes and I can be myself and have peace of mind.


    Mom, I need time to start a new life. Please let me stay here, okay?"


    Since Susan had said this, although Luna was still reluctant to leave her, she gritted her teeth and


    agreed to it. "Susie, I can agree to your idea and let you stay here temporarily, but promise me that


    you''lle back to us sooner orter."


    Susan gave her a resplendent grin. “Of course, Skyking City is my home, and everyone wants to go


    home eventually. I''ll definitely be back once I’ve let go of everything. Just give me some time, mom."


    "Alright..." Luna was torn between two choices, but she also knew that forcing Susan to stay in


    Skyking City would only make her feel ufortable. Staying away from that ce might be the


    best option for her.


    After addressing the elephant in the room, Luna put aside her worries and said, "You can stay, but


    you''ll be living alone with two children. I can''t allow that. Therefore, I''ve brought two guards with


    great skills. From now on, they''ll take turns protecting you three 24/7.”


    Luna waved her hands as she spoke.


    Sure enough, two well-built bodyguards walked in.


    "They''re the Chabowski brothers. He''s Bruce, and he''s Rivera. They''ll stay here for as long as you


    do."


    Susan was slightly touched. Luna had even prepared bodyguards beforeing over, which


    proved that she had already thought about giving in from the very beginning. Sure enough, even if


    her daughter was headstrong, a mother would always support her unconditionally.


    Susan sniffed, resisting a feeling of slight bitterness. "Mom, there''s no need, I..."


    As soon as she started that sentence, Luna interrupted her without any hesitation. "If you don’t keep


    them, I''ll never allow you to stay here."


    Upon seeing Luna''s steadfast look, Susan could only nod in response.


    "Good." Luna gave her a smile.


    Susan thought about an idea for a while and then nced at Jacob. "Jacob, you must have located


    me, right? Could you help me with something?"


    "Shoot," Jacob replied immediately.


    "Don''t let him find me too," Susan said, her jaw mping tightly.


    Jacob was taken aback for a split second.


    Then, he responded with a nod, "Don''t worry, I won''t let him disturb your peaceful life."


    "Thanks, Jacob." Susan was relieved now.


    With her brother in the way, there should be no way for Julian to locate her through the inte.


    Next, the whole group checked every corner of Susan''s new living environment. They looked up,


    down, and inside out.


    Susan had bought this vi in a high-end district. The security systems were rtively sophisticated


    in such wealthy areas, so their safety was more guaranteed.


    The facilities in the vi were alsoplete.


    Plus, Jerucity was a great choice. The scenery was breath-taking, and it was said that it was cool in


    the summer and warm in the winter. Overall, this living environment could be considered very


    comfortable.


    After a detailed inspection, Luna gave her a contented smile. "It''s a great ce. Susie, you even


    knew that you should buy a vi. I think I can rest assured now. I was so afraid that, given your


    stubborn temper, you''d leave with the kids without any money."


    "Without any money? Why would I?" Susan said with a faint smirk. "Didn''t he refuse to divorce me?


    Half of his assets are naturally mine. If I don’t use them, others will, so why should I let them?


    Besides, I can let myself suffer, but the kids don''t deserve that."


    "Yup, you''re right to think that way." Luna could not help butugh.


    She was really relieved to know that. After


    all, as long as one had money and was willing to spend it, one could live well in this world most of


    the time.


    After one more round of inspections, everyone was relieved about Susan and the children''s living


    situation. Thus, Susan persuaded everyone to return to Skyking City.


    She then saw them off personally.


    When the ne finally took off, Susan took the children back to the vi.


    The two children were quite excited about living in a new environment, so it took Susan a long time


    to put them to bed.

    Later that night, as Susan stared at the dark, vast sky outside the window, a faint arc appeared at


    the corner of her mouth.


    Ever since she had gotten away from that man, she felt a lot more rxed, both


    physically and mentally.


    ''Julian Shaw, time is the best medicine.''


    ''Even though I still can’t forget you yet, even though I’m still devastated and my heart feels like it''s


    scattered, I believe that as long as the distance between us is far enough and the time is long


    enough, I''ll forget about you one day.''


    ''I believe in myself.’


    I will start a new life here.''


    When Susan made up her mind under the moonlight, the others had already returned to Skyking


    City.
