Chapter 97 Transfer of Assets
"Alright."
"No."
The two voices resounded at the same time.
Julian Shaw shot his wife a glare.
'Alright? This woman is sure quick to respond.'
"No? Why not?" Madam Shaw looked straight into her son’s eyes. She held out the divorce agreement in her hand and said, "Susan has already signed the divorce agreement papers."
The divorce papers had all been signed!
Julian's eyes flashed with a hint of seething anger.
He had to find out what was so tempting in the terms o f the divorce agreement that made Susan agree to the divorce without hesitation.
Julian hurriedly browsed through it and his expression turned darker by the moment.
According to the terms of this agreement, if she divorced him, Susan would get nothing at all.
In that case, why would she still agree to the divorce?
Just how desperate was this woman to leave him?
During the time they spent together, they got along quite harmoniously, and he thought that she would more or less hesitate if he wanted a divorce.
It was totally unexpected that she didn't request for anything from the divorce, and that she gave up so easily on their marriage.
Madam Shaw thought that Julian was worried about his money and assets and said with slight complacency, "According to the agreement, she can't leave with anything. So, you can feel free to divorce her, Julian." She felt that Susan was an idiot to give up what was, to her, an astronomical amount of money for the sake of her so-called self-respect.
Julian ignored his mother as he looked coldly at Susan, "Woman, did you forget all I've said to you previously?"
Susan's lips trembled slightly.
Julian said that he would never divorce her and that the only way they would be separated in life would be i f he had passed on, and she would be widowed.
She didn't believe it then, and she still didn't believe it now.
There was no reason for Julian to go against his mother for a dispensable person like her.
It was as if he saw Susan's reasons in her eyes. Julian sneered, "I'll settle the score with you later."
Then, Julian turned to glare at his mother. "I don’t agree to the divorce."
Madam Shaw frowned and asked, "Why? Julian, don't be a fool. You are out of this woman's league. Once you're divorced, I'll find you another good wife."
"You'll find me another wife?" Julian raised his eyebrows and in a calm and relaxed manner he asked, "You'll have her marry me and be a miserable wife stuck in a sexless marriage?"
Madam Shaw was dumbfounded.
All this time, she was so anxious to get rid of Susan that she forgot about this matter!
Susan couldn't help but glare at Julian.
Even up to this moment, Julian still kept on spewing such lies?
This man was obviously as normal as any man could b e!
Thinking back to those times when he had almost cheated on her, and then looking at Julian's serious face now, Susan was speechless.
This man's ability to tell lies with his eyes wide open got better by the day.
"Well..." Madam Shaw felt a little conflicted. "Even so, let's get over with the divorce first. If it really doesn't work out, mother will find you a good one and we'll do an IVF."
"Really?" Julian cocked his eyebrows. "In that case, mom, you should have a look at these documents first."
Julian was clearly well-prepared. He whipped out a folder and placed it in front of his mother.
"It doesn't matter what these documents are. We'll look into it after we’ve settled the divorce," Madam Shaw said as she opened the documents.
Susan was slightly curious as well.
What were the contents of the folder?
Madam Shaw looked very calm and relaxed when she first started reading the documents.
However, as she read further on, her expression turned sour.
She quickly went through all the documents, and then, she closed the folder and looked at Susan with seething anger, "Look at what you've done!"
Susan was at a loss for words.
What had she done?
"It's none of her business. I personally transferred these into her name," Julian said with ease.
"Even now, Susan is still unaware of this matter." This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
"What?" Madam Shaw's entire face turned dark and gloomy. She looked at Julian with an incredulous face. "Are you crazy? Do you have any idea how much money this is worth? How could you transfer all your assets to this woman?!"
What assets?
Susan was flabbergasted.
She picked up the folder and skimmed quickly through the contents. A moment later, a look of shock flashed across her face.
The folder contained all signed asset transfer letters.
According to these documents, everything under Julian's name, including fifty properties all over the country and dozens of luxury cars, were transferred under her name. In addition to that, there were also some stocks he had purchased, funds he had made investments in, and other businesses that he had invested in save for Lanyard Construction. All of that now belonged to her.
What... what was all this about!
Susan was stunned in place.
How much was all this worth when added together?
Millions?
Billions?
Tens of billions?
She had no clue about the expanse of it.
"I'm not crazy," Julian replied in a calm demeanor. " Lanyard Construction is the fruit of mom and dad's hard work. Although the shares belong to me now, they also belong to the Shaws. I didn't touch them. I've only touched the assets from my personal investments, which belong wholly to me. Susan is my wife. Both husband and wife are considered as one entity, so all my assets are naturally hers. I’m afraid that the contents of the divorce agreement are deemed invalid since she now has all these properties under her name," Julian said calmly.
Madam Shaw's entire body shook with anger. "Julian, what the hell is going on with you! Do you have any idea how much money is involved? And you gave it all to this woman? Who the hell is she? How does she deserve..."
"Mom, she's my wife." Julian interrupted Madam Shaw and emphasized it once again.
"What wife?!" Madam Shaw was furious. "She is just a woman that I bought to ward off your bad luck. No, I will never consent to you giving all your assets to this woman."
"In any case, I've already given it to her. Moreover, I've taken all these documents to the notary to have them notarized. I also specifically requested that a clause be added in. The owner of the property is not allowed to change for fifty years," Julian said.
It turned out he was so busy for the past few days not only because he was occupied with settling the Jenkins’ mess.
It seemed that he was busy taking inventory of his own assets.
How could Julian commit to such an irreversible action? Madam Shaw was utterly stunned. "You... Why
exactly did you..."
She couldn't comprehend the situation that just unfolded in front of her. Susan was simply someone she had forced to marry him.
Now that the divorce was finalized, shouldn't he be overjoyed?
Julian gazed calmly at his mother. "Mom, marriage is never a joke. Since I've already married Susan, no matter what happens, I will not give her up easily.
When you and dad decided to spend the rest of your lives together in the very beginning, wasn't it opposed by everyone else? Do you remember what dad did to defend and protect you?"
At the thought of her late husband, Madam Shaw's cold eyes and stern brows softened.
