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

Chapter 58 Murderer

"Did you hear that? She just admitted it herself!" said Charlotte Jenkins immediately.

"Susan, our Jenkins family is not boasting when we say that we took good care of you during your visit this time. Why do you have to do this to us?" Madam Jenkins looked at Susan Shelby with a furious expression.

"I... I..." Susan's body shook uncontrollably.

Julian Shaw hugged her a little tighter.

Luke Jenkins looked toward Susan with a complicated look in his eyes.

His father, Richard Jenkins, had never been a good father. However, he was still his father after all.

'If it is true that he really died in Susan's hands...'

'No, that's impossible. Susie is not that kind of person.’

'She doesn't even have the courage to kill a chicken, so how could she kill a man!'

"Susie, you didn't kill my father. There must be a misunderstanding, right?" Luke looked at Susan with a n anticipating expression.

If she said that it was a misunderstanding, he would believe her unconditionally.

"Brother! You're still defending her when we've come t o this state!" Charlotte could not help but glare at Luke in rage.

"Luke, we may know a person for a long time without understanding his or her nature.” Mandy Aisley said i n a dreamy, mellow voice, "Susan looks all gentle and weak. I didn't expect her to be so cruel in action.”

Luke disregarded those people's words. He looked at Susan with a stubborn expression.

There was too much belief in Luke’s gaze that Susan was incapable of bearing it all.

Susan avoided his gaze and said in a slightly panicked tone, "Luke, I'm... I'm sorry."

Susan refused to believe it herself yet it was true that she had killed a man.

The glint in Luke’s eyes dimmed at once.

'Did Susie really kill my father?”

"How did this happen!'

'What the heck happened!’

"Susan, since you've admitted it yourself, then..." said Madam Jenkins coldly.

"Hold on,” Julian spoke calmly.

"Julian! This vicious woman admitted it herself! Could it be that you’re still trying to defend a murderer?” Charlotte spat furiously.

"I find that there are suspicious aspects in this incident." Julian looked at Susan and attempted to soften his tone with great effort. "Susie, tell me, why are you here? Why is Chairman Jenkins here then?"

"A... a servant brought me into this room," said Susan i n a daze.

"It was me who brought Ms. Shelby to this room." The servant from earlier stepped forward.

"It was her." Susan nodded.

Julian took a glance at the servant. A cold glint flashed past his eyes before vanishing in one moment. When he looked back toward Susan, his tone softened once again when he said, "Susie, how about Chairman Jenkins? Why is he here?"

"He..." Susan’s body suddenly began shaking violently.

"Susie, don't be scared. Speak properly, I'm here." Julian held her hand with determination.

His palm felt so warm against her skin. Susan inhaled a few deep breaths in an effort to force herself to calm down. "I was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly when I suddenly felt someone..."

An embarrassed gaze flashed past Susan's eyes. Then, she said shakily, "Someone pinned me down on the bed. I tried to struggle free to the best of my abilities when I woke up. I shoved him strenuously once during the process. He suddenly collapsed on the floor and...and never woke up again. I... I only just found out that this man was Chairman Jenkins too."

The panicked radiance in Susan's eyes glowed even brighter.

She had barely reacted to the situation when she suddenly turned into a murderer inexplicably.

Moreover, this person was Luke's father! Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"You're lying!” Charlotte could not help saying in a sharp tone, "So you're saying that my father was trying to rape you without consent? Susan, do you really think that you're some exquisite fairy maiden that anyone is attracted to?”

"Now that my husband is already dead, you think that you can simply make false accusations as you please, right?” Madam Jenkins looked at her furiously.

"I... I wasn't making false accusations. I'm telling you all nothing but the truth,” said Susan fearfully.

"Heh-heh, since no one can refute your words anyhow, feel free to say anything you like!” said Charlotte furiously.

"I... I...” Susan was terrified of killing a man accidentally so she felt even more frightened when these two people grilled her. She cowered into a corner of the wall and hid!

"Susie!” Julian wrapped his arm around her shoulder strenuously and said, "Don't be afraid, I’m here."

"Julian, I'm not lying.” Susan looked at him helplessly.

There was not an ounce of hesitation in Julian's eyes when he said resolutely, "I know!" "Do you believe me?” Susan's eyes lit up radiantly.

"I believe you, of course," said Julian softly.

"She is your woman so of course you're defending her. Yet, except for you, try asking everyone on the scene if they believe her nonsensical lies?” said Madam Jenkins furiously.

Before her voice died off, a calm voice was heard.

"I believe her too," said Luke with a slightly pale face without the slightest hesitation.

"My son!” Madam Jenkins looked at him incredulously. "This is your father that we're talking about.”

A wisp of grief flashed past his eyes as he said, "Susan wouldn't lie. I believe it's possible that there must be some kind of misunderstanding in this.”

"Misunderstanding? What sort of misunderstanding can cause the death of an innocent man?” Madam Jenkins shrieked, "Luke, you can’t allow yourself to be enticed by this woman."

"Hmph,” Julian grunted coldly. "Madam Jenkins, I believe that it's too early for you to jump to conclusions. I find that there are numerous questionable points in this matter. Firstly, why did this servant take Susie to this guestroom and why did Chairman Jenkins come to this room so coincidentally? More importantly, Susie is a woman and she is not particularly strong. Why did Chairman Jenkins tumble to the floor when he was shoved by her once and why did he die as soon as he hit the ground?"

Charlotte was constantly glaring at Susan furiously but she was suddenly stunned for a moment upon hearing Julian's remarks.

'That's right, there are way too many doubtful points i n this matter.’

'Susan was in this room and father came in too soon afterward...'

‘This particular point itself feels a little too coincidental.'

All sorts of thoughts ran through her mind wildly. Charlotte suddenly glanced at Madam Jenkins in disbelief.

'Mother said that she is going to finish off Susan, could it be that...could it be that...’

‘No, that’s impossible!'

'Even if my father is not a good father, he is still our father.'

'Mother won’t do that!'

Madam Jenkins’ eyes glimmered as she said loudly," Didn't the servant just explain to you? Ms. Shelby was feeling a little tired so she brought her to the nearest guestroom to rest. As for my husband, it's possible that he entered the room wrongly and it's also

possible that he was only trying to wake Ms. Shelby for breakfast? There can be many reasons but there’s only one result and that is that my husband has passed away! Susan is a murderer."

"That's right, a man’s death is the reality. Susan is the murderer," said Mandy loudly as well.

"That’s right." Madam Jenkins spoke coldly, "Julian, I can understand your intention to defend Susan.

However, this is still a man's life! It's best for you not t o go too far."
