Willa Doyle’s expression revealed her joy as she looked at Serenity Wright proudly. “Did you hear that? Julian is ordering you to let go of me.”
Serenity was even more furious upon hearing that. She continued to pin down Willa and then conveniently gave her a slap. “Am I going to let go just because he says so? I haven’t dealt with him yet! Just wait for me to beat you to death, b*tch. Then, I shall send him flying with a kick.”
“You’re acting like a fishwife…” said Willa in rage.
“That’s right, I am a fishwife.” Serenity delivered a few slaps consecutively with loud claps.
Willa was completely stunned after being hit.
Just as Serenity raised her hand in preparation to continue slapping her, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.
“I said, let go of her.” Julian Shaw’s voice sounded deep.
Serenity scoffed coldly. “Why should I listen to you?”
She aimed her elbow at Julian’s abdomen.
However, Julian dodged her attack with ease with just the back of his hand.
A look of astonishment flashed past Serenity’s eyes.
She couldn't care less about Willa anymore, but she stood up and sent a flying kick in Julian’s direction.
Julian evaded it calmly once again.
This process was repeated a few times before Serenity discovered that she was utterly incapable of even touching the corner of Julian’s shirt.
Serenity’s expression dimmed uncontrollably.
She had trained in martial arts since a young age. Three to five burly men together would still not be her worthy opponents.
However, she had not expected that Julian would be trained in martial arts as well. Besides, he was rather skilled in it. He was slightly more skilled than her at the very least.
“Stop messing around.” Julian squeezed Serenity’s hand and shoved her away gently.
Then, he extended a hand toward Willa, who was still on the floor. “Are you okay?”
“I’m okay.” Even though Willa’s face was swollen from being beaten up badly, she still cracked a brilliant smile. She then held on to Julian’s hand and stood up.
“Julian! What the heck are you doing?” Serenity flew into rage. “Clarify the situation for me. What’s going on? Why are you moving in with this woman? Why are you letting her get close to you without doing anything? Why are you protecting her like this?”
Serenity asked questions one by one.
Julian looked at Susan Shelby subconsciously.
Susan had only been watching Julian quietly since the beginning.
She did not comment or move.
When Julian looked over at her, she was still watching him with a calm yet composed gaze.
Julian’s heart trembled ever so slightly uncontrollably.
Susie…
“Serenity.” Meanwhile, Susan suddenly smiled and tugged at Serenity’s sleeve gently. “It’s alright, there’s nothing going on between Julian and Ms. Doyle. They only have something to discuss urgently.”
Upon saying that, she looked at Julian. “Is that right, Julian?”
Susan’s gaze was filled with anticipation.
She had already lost the willingness to ponder this anymore in the meantime.
She did not want to know why Julian had refused to contact her on purpose or pick up her calls, nor did she want to know why he had spent his time with this person in the meantime.
She only knew that she had made up her mind in the past to trust Julian fully.
As a result, even if he was making up an excuse casually, even if this excuse was obviously a lie, she would believe Julian as long as he said it. This was because even if it was not the truth, Julian was certainly doing it because of certain difficulties he could not mention.
“Susie.” Meanwhile, Willa charged forward swiftly and caught Susan at one go.
Susan looked at Julian calmly.
His apology made an uneasy presentiment form in her heart, but she attempted to suppress this presentiment with great effort.
They had already experienced so many trials and hardships in life. She refused to believe this. She refused to believe that Julian would betray her.
“Why are you apologizing to me?” The corners of Susan’s lips cracked into a gentle smile. “It’s fine, Julian. I know that there’s nothing between you and Willa. You’re surely doing this because you have something you wish to keep a secret. I…”
“Susie.” Julian did not have the courage to listen anymore so he interrupted Susie right away. “I’m sorry, but Willa and I are together now.”
“Julian, you bast*rd!” Serenity immediately called out in rage.
Had she not been afraid that Susie would fall if she were to let go, perhaps she would have already charged forward to fight Julian despite knowing fully well that she was not his worthy opponent.
Meanwhile, Susie looked at Julian shakily. “Together? What does that mean? Are you... in love with her?”
The uneasiness in her heart had already drowned her like tidewater. However, she was still holding on to the last gleam of hope in her heart.
Thousands of emotions flashed past Julian’s eyes, but he showed only his usual calmness on the surface. “Yes, I love her.”
He loved her.
A trance-like glint flashed past Susan’s eyes.
The man that she loved deeply claimed that he loved another woman right before her face.
There had been no lack of setbacks between him and her, yet they had survived every setback together. Every setback they had endured had affirmed their feelings for each other even more.
He had always stood by her side in the past regardless.
Now, he was standing side by side with another woman.
