Chapter 553 What Do You Mean
In the car, Oliver Wright winked at Susan Shelby.
"What?" Susan looked at Oliver strangely.
Oliver let out a cough and then said," Haven’t you noticed that Jay seems to have feelings for you?"
"That can't be right. I haven’t even spoken to him more than a few times. Don't talk nonsense, Oliver." Susan immediately denied it.
Oliver’s expression turned peculiar at once. "So you truly haven't noticed that?”
"Noticed what?" Susan furrowed her brows.
"Nothing.” Oliver patted Susan’s shoulder.
Someone would be at ease knowing that.
When Oliver came, he had specifically briefed Oliver to keep an eye on the person known as Jay Dunn.
That person only really had feelings for Susan, but poor Susie had not noticed at all.
It felt as if ever since the incident that had taken place two years ago, Susan had become extremely insensitive to love affairs.
There was no telling if this was a good thing or a bad thing. All in all, someone would certainly be happy about this.
Oliver raised an eyebrow but did not continue to pursue this topic of conversation.
In Skyking City, the sky, which had been gloomy and rainy for many days, was shining bright on a rare occasion.
The staff members of StarTech Co. had relaxed expressions on their faces.
It was really a blessed day. The weather cleared up while their big boss' mood had improved as well over there.
Under close inspection, their big boss had been cold in the past but not as cold as an iceberg.
Ever since the CEO's wife had left two years ago, it had felt as if the CEO's seven emotions and six desires had been sealed and he had turned into a huge iceberg at once.
However, the CEO had actually smiled at them when they had brought over the documents to get his signature fearfully today.
Even though he was not smiling widely, he was still smiling!
The staff members, who had suffered through two years of emotional abuse, suddenly felt really blessed.
"Do you think that the CEO's sudden cheerfulness is a result of his wife's return?"
"Most likely."
"These rich people are really odd. Mr. Shaw is obviously in love with his wife, yet why does he have to keep a mistress on the side? He has a mistress, but I don't see him paying much attention to that mistress either.”
"You have no idea. As far as I know, this is because the CEO's wife suffered from a health condition after she had her daughter and was rendered infertile. The CEO is doing this to have a son." "ThatNôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
makes sense. However, I still find the
CEO’s wife quite pitiful."
The group of people engaged in a heated conversation.
All of a sudden, the volume of the conversation softened.
The few remaining people were still talking when they noticed that something felt strange. They turned around and could not help looking embarrassed.
"Hello, I'm here to see Mr. Shaw," said Willa Doyle in a gentle voice, as if she was completely oblivious to the gossip going on earlier.
The group of people only reacted to the situation.
One of them hastily said, "Ms. Doyle, I'll help you call him."
"Thank you," Willa said courteously.
That person hastily called the office. "Mr. Shaw, Ms. Doyle is waiting for you at the door. She claims that she's here to see you
"I'm not seeing her," said Julian before he hung up the call in a straightforward and concise manner.
A look of embarrassment flashed past that person’s face before she looked at Willa and said, "The CEO is busy now."
"Noted." A peculiar look flashed past
Willa's gaze. She did not make a fuss. She just turned around and left.
She had just taken a few steps away when talking voices were heard behind her.
"Tsk tsk tsk... That's the mistress, right? She is rather beautiful, but you can tell that she had plastic surgery done at one glance." "I bet she feels that she has some sort of status, which gives her the courage to
come knocking on his office door. Still, the CEO refused to see her. Heh heh heh.''
"She’s simply asking to be humiliated."
The vast majority of people despised the mistress, so their impression of Willa was naturally abominable.
A furious glint flashed past Willa's eyes as she listened to the clamorous discussion.
Her hands were still tightly clenched into fists by the time she walked out of StarTech Co.
She had been constantly trying to change Julian with her sincerity in the past two years. However, no matter how exquisite she looked or how gentle her demeanor was, Julian refused to even take an extra glance at her when the five hours he spent with her were over.
Was her sincerity really worth nothing to Julian?
She made so much effort. Could she truly be incapable of replacing Susan in his heart?
Willa had no doubt that Julian would immediately abandon her as soon as Susan was healed!
More and more people of the Dark Night Agency were being arrested, which made Willa feel rather restless in her heart.
She could not speak for the rest of the people in the Dark Night Agency, but the mysterious Divine Lord would certainly have a way to cure Susan's illness.
If Julian were to capture the Divine Lord and coerce him into treating Susan, Willa believed that she would certainly be doomed.
Willa's hand clenched even tighter, and her long fingernails stabbed into her flesh. However, she still did not notice.
Time was already pressing.
She could no longer continue to muddle along without aim. She had to come up with a backup plan so that even if Susan's condition was cured, she could still live and remain by Julian's side.
Willa took a deep breath as a determined gaze flashed past her eyes.
Susan was about to come back soon, so she was running out of time. The plan had to be carried out immediately.
The women of StarTech Co. had not said anything pleasant, but one of their remarks had been memorized by Willa silently.
If she could think of any weak spot in the relationship between Julian and Susan, it would be that Susan had yet to give birth to a male heir for Julian. Madam Shaw had almost been driven to madness while anticipating the arrival of a grandson.
If she could get pregnant with a boy...
Willa left StarTech and headed straight to Madam Shaw’s residence.
"What are you doing here?" Madam Shaw looked at Willa without any intention of concealing the disdain in her gaze.
She was not very fond of Susan, yet she despised the mistress even more. Besides, Willa used to be Susan’s good friend in the past, yet she had betrayed Susan in an instant. A person like her did not deserve Madam Shaw’s attention.
Willa was not annoyed by Madam Shaw's attitude. She smiled and said, "Madam Shaw, I heard recently that your health has been deteriorating. Is that right?”
"What do you mean by that?" Madam Shaw was infuriated.
Her health had been very weak all this time due to the repercussions of the poisoning incident. Over the years, her health had been deteriorating. However, this did not mean that she wanted to listen to Willa say that in her face.
Willa smiled before she said, "Even though my remark is not pleasant to hear, it is the truth. I don't bear any ill intentions. I'm only feeling pity for you, Madam. You're getting old, yet you still haven't had a grandson. I wonder how you’re going to justify this to Sir Shaw when you die."
Willa's words were very unpleasant yet hit a nerve in Madam Shaw.
Madam Shaw listened to her but did not show any emotions. She looked at Willa coldly. "What do you mean?"
