CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake Chapter 575

Chapter 575Susan fixed an icy glare on Harrison's back. “Old geezer, you can't get rid of me that easily. Just you
wait and see. I'll make all the Smiths suffer. Hmph!” she murmured, then drew a deep breath to calm
herself before she followed his husband to the courtroom.
The hearing took less than two hours.
The judge was doubtful of Harrison's motive to gain custody because he had filed for a divorce back
then, and also kicked his own son out of their home. Thus, the hearing was adjourned to three days
later, whereby the court would finalize their ruling.
Yulia was overjoyed when she came out of the courtroom with her head held high. She scoffed
arrogantly at Harrison and Susan as she walked past them.

In the car, a cackling Yulia slapped her thigh. Tears rolled down her cheeks because she was laughing
so hard. “Baby Girl, did you see that old bugger's face? It was hilarious! I haven't laughed this hard in a
long time. Hahaha... He thinks he can take Jared away after he abandoned us? In his dreams!”
Her laughter faded into weeping and gradually became wails.

Instead of taking her eyes off the road while she was driving, Natalie glanced at her mother from the
corner of her eye. “Mom, stop crying.”
“These are tears of joy.” She took out a packet of tissue paper from her bag and wiped the tears from
her face.
“Okay, fine. You can keep going.” Natalie looked utterly nonplussed.
A mixture of laughter and weeping continued from the back seat.
After a long while, Yulia asked, “Baby Girl, what are you doing later?”
“Nothing.”
“Why don't we go for a drink? I'm in a good mood today. Let's celebrate.” She pulled out her phone to
check the nearby bars.Natalie didn't even have the chance to refuse. She turned the car around and went straight to the
address shown in the GPS.
At the bar, Yulia drank like a fish, perhaps due to her happiness. She passed out shortly after.
Natalie placed her juice down and stared at her mother, who was sprawled on the table and mumbling
curses at Harrison.
Yulia's love for her ex-husband grew into absolute hatred after he divorced her. Thus, she got herself
drunk that day to celebrate her winning against him.
Natalie stood up, brushed her mother's hair back from her face, took her arm, and led her out of the
bar.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
Rifling through her bag, she pulled her phone out and looked at the screen. She swiped to answer,
“Hello, Shane?”
From the other line, Shane could hear the deafening music in the background. His brows drew together
in a scowl. “Where are you?”
“I'm at a bar.”
He pursed his lips. “What are you doing at a bar?”
He called for her whereabouts because he was at her office to pick her up. He was also told that she
didn't come back the entire afternoon after the hearing ended.
Oh no. He thinks I'm here to enjoy myself.She could hear the displeasure in his voice. At that moment, she suddenly realized that he had gotten
the wrong idea.
She rubbed her temples and explained, “My mom wanted to celebrate her victory at the hearing today.
She insisted on coming here.”
Shane was taken aback. I see. I thought she went alone.
“Tell me your location. I'll pick you up,” he said gently after recollecting himself.
