The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 74 Susie, I Know That It Hurts

At the Jenkins family.

All that was left was a terrible scene after Julian took Susan with him and left.

Mandy enjoyed Susan’s misfortunes. She looked toward where they had left. "This time around, I just want to see how that b*itch suffers.”

"That's enough." Luke interrupted her coldly. "I told you never to condemn Susan like that.”

Mandy was stunned for a short while. She soon became angry. "Luke, what do you mean? I'm your wife now, but she's just a murderer who killed dad. How could you defend her even now? Who are you siding with?" i

Luke did not want to answer her questions. He had a serious expression on his face, "Charlotte, come with me for a while."

"Why?" Charlotte was slightly guilty. "Me? There's no need for that.”

"Come with me now!" Luke was stern.

Charlotte was frightened. She looked toward Madam Jenkins, asking for her help.

Madam Jenkins grabbed Charlotte's hand and said," Luke, what’s wrong? Your sister is timid. Don't you scare her."

Luke sounded cold and distant. "Charlotte, I just want t o protect your reputation, so I asked you to come and talk with me alone. Do you really want me to talk about it here?”

"I..." Charlotte was slightly nervous.

"If that's the case, I'll do as you wish," Luke said calmly. Then, he walked toward Charlotte and looked a t her calmly.

"Let me ask you. Why did Susan come to our house? Why would she come to my room? Who drugged her? A s luck would have it, why was Madam Shaw here, paying us a visit?"

The more Luke interrogated her, the more anxious Charlotte became. She gritted her teeth and looked at Luke pitifully. "Brother, are you doubting me now? Do you believe the lies that woman told you? I did indeed call her because I don't want to see her enjoying her life. So I called and gave her a terrible scolding! I didn’t ask her to come to our house. I didn’t let her seduce you!”

"Is that so?” Luke still remained unmoved by what she said. "Charlotte, can you believe what you said? If nobody brought Susan here, how did she come into our house? Why was the door of the bedroom locked the minute she entered the room? Did Susan herself plan everything out?"

Charlotte tried her best to think of something. "Maybe she has a spy here."

Luke smiled coldly. "Then what's her purpose in doing so?"

"Certainly, she wanted to seduce you."

Luke was filled with deep disappointment. "Charlotte, you’re still reluctant to tell me the truth up until now! I f she wanted to seduce me, she wouldn't have to use such a tactic."

For him, Susan was an irresistible drug. If Susan did want to seduce him, she did not have to do much.

"Luke, what do you mean?" Mandy soon became displeased.

"Luke, don’t you accuse your younger sister wrongly.” Madam Jenkins spoke calmly.

Luke looked at his stubborn wife, his guilty sister, and his mother who pretended to be just. Suddenly, he was engulfed in deep exhaustion.

He rubbed his temples. "I don't want to say anything more now. It’s fine even if I don’t hold anyone responsible for this. But you need to think properly now. How could you make Julian let it pass? Now, please leave. My head hurts."

“A headache? Are you sick again?" Madam Jenkins could not help but become nervous.

Luke still had the scars which he got from the car accident. Besides, Richard was born with a headache. Although Luke seemed to not have inherited that from his father, Madam Shaw was still anxious about it.

"I would feel much better if you leave now," Luke said blankly.

"Good. We'll leave now," Madam Jenkins replied.

Charlotte became nervous the minute they left the room. "Mom, brother was right. What do you think? Will Julian really..."

Madam Jenkins patted her hand. "Don't worry. Julian will certainly listen to Madam Shaw no matter what. This is just the beginning!"

Madam Jenkins was rather calm, so Charlotte became calmer too.

Mandy looked at them suspiciously. She could not help but ask, "Mom, Charlotte, did you really plot against Susan this time around? What is your purpose in doing so?"

"Mandy." Madam Jenkins softened her voice. "Don't you think we're being too nice to her if we only make her leave Luke?"

"That's true." Mandy nodded.

"So..." Madam Jenkins's eyes brightened. "I want to snatch away everything she has."

Mandy became delighted when she thought about that. "Yes, we need to take away everything from her a s we're dealing with this kind of woman.”

Madam Jenkins only smiled faintly.

Mandy was actually a naive woman. Madam Jenkins just had to coax her, and she would become the best pawn.

"Mandy, it's better if you don’t think too much about Susan. You see, Susan was sent to him after being drugged. But still Luke did not touch her. So, we can see that he does not have much interest in her now. You should really grab onto this chance and gain his affection," Madam Jenkins advised her slowly.

"Yes." Mandy felt happy all of a sudden. "I just bought some new clothes. I'll go and change into them."

Mandy hummed a song and left.

Charlotte could not help but exclaim, "She's indeed quite naive."

"It's better if she's naive." Madam Jenkins smiled.

But her eyes seemed to be clouded with a tinge of darkness.

They should carry out the second part of their plan now.

At the Shaw family.

"Brother, let's have some fruit." Susan had peeled and cut a plate of apples.

“Susie?" Jacob was looking out of the window in a daze. He turned around when he saw Susan.

"Why aren't you writing code today?" Susan asked him and put the plate of apples before him.

Jacob made no movement. He looked at Susan and asked her all of a sudden, "Susie, was that woman telling the truth? Did I survive because of her?"

Surprisingly, Jacob asked her that suddenly.

Susan was saddened slightly. She spoke gently," Brother, don't think too much. Come, have some apples."

Jacob always listened to Susan, but he did not do so this time around.

He looked at Susan seriously. "Susie, tell me. Was she telling the truth? She made me survive, so she could bully you blatantly. Is that so?"

"Brother, don't exaggerate the facts. I'm fine now, aren’t I? When was I bullied?" Susan smiled.

Jacob pursed his lips and touched Susan's forehead." Susie, I know that it hurts a lot."

'I know. It hurts.'

Susan soon became slightly teary when she saw Jacob's distress. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

She sniffed and said gently, "Brother, it doesn't hurt. I won't feel any pain as long as you're fine and healthy."

Jacob pursed his lips and said all of a sudden, "Susie, let's go."
