Chapter 164 Start The Competition Over

• Isabelle Shelby was obviously not as elegant as she had claimed to be. Julian Shaw's eyes narrowed just a bit. If Susan Shelby found out that he was the small boy back in those years and Isabelle was small Flower, then the problem would become even more complex. His heart could not hold a single bit of anyone else, as he had already given it all to Susan. But it was true that Isabelle had been a big assistance to him in their early years.

Susan pursed her lips, remembering how Isabelle had called Julian without telling her.
