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

Chapter 60 Heartache

"Charlotte, I would like to ask too, how can this be?” Madam Jenkins said coldly, "Your father was so obsessed over the recent years as if he was possessed by a ghost. He never thought about his family and he utterly disregarded the matters related to you and Luke. He put his whole heart into transferring his assets to his young son. Your brother was in a coma before this and you've seen how your father reacted to the situation. He was so cold and desolate as if Luke was not his son!"

Charlotte Jenkins could not help clenching her teeth i n rage.

"Thus, he deserved to die. Had he not died, the Jenkins Corporation would have fallen into the possession of that little b*tch and her son. It is only in his death that you and Luke can acquire what you deserve," said Madam Jenkins expressionlessly.

Charlotte's emotions were surging ceaselessly. She found that she could not accept Madam Jenkins' statement emotionally, yet rationally, she was well aware that Madam Jenkins did all this for her and her brother!

How could she be hardhearted enough to blame her mother?

"Moreover, his death brings more than just this benefit." Madam Jenkins cracked into a cold smile."

Everyone thinks that Susan killed your father. Can your brother still be with the murderer of his father even if he loves Susan more? Also, do you think that Madam Shaw can accept a murderer as her daughter-! n-law even if Julian doesn’t mind? Charlotte, I told you before that I will be making proper arrangements for you and your brother. From now on, Luke and Mandy will be together and you shall be married to Julian just as you wished. That Susan is definitely not a worthy obstacle of yours!" 6

Madness was seeping out from Madam Jenkins' eyes indistinctly.

Charlotte could feel that something was not right subconsciously yet the temptation of marrying Julian Shaw was too powerful for her.

She clenched her teeth and asked, "Mother, what should we do next then?"

"Just pretend that you are unaware of this incident. Also, don't ever let your brother find out the truth. Leave the rest to me," said Madam Jenkins calmly.

Charlotte nodded.

She was still young after all. Her eyes reddened unknowingly when she recalled the state of Richard's death, "Mother... From now on, Luke and I don’t have a father anymore."

Madam Jenkins looked at her daughter and felt slightly uneasy in her heart as well.

She stepped forward to hug Charlotte. "Charlotte, I'm here. From now on, no one can take away what's yours and Luke's."

Charlotte swallowed her tears and nodded heavily.

In Madam Jenkins' hug, she clenched her fists with a determined gaze.

'My mother is not at fault for doing this.’

'Since my father doesn’t want his family anymore, then there is no need for me to feel sad for him either!'

'More importantly, it's Susan who killed my father!'

When news of this incident travelled, she would like t o see how the Shaw family would accept a daughter-in -law like this.

Julian would understand this one day.

The person most suited for him was her!

On the private jet, Julian held Susan Shelby tightly and his eyes were filled with painful emotions.

Susan was really startled. She could no longer care about being shy now - she tightly wrapped herself around Julian.

To her, it felt as if Julian was her only safe harbor now.

Her body would still tremble from fear occasionally.

Every time this happened, Julian would hold her tighter and use his body temperature to warm her up.

"Julian." Susan raised her head, her face a shade of ghastly pale. "What should I do? Should I turn myself i

n?"

Julian patted Susan’s shoulder gently. "Susie, I'm going to ask you a question that you must ponder seriously before answering me, is that alright?"

"Alright." Susan nodded without the slightest hesitation.

For her, Julian Shaw was the only man worthy of her trust now.

Julian softened his tone and asked gently, "Try to think about this. When you shoved Richard away, how hard did you push?"

"I...I was very anxious at the time so I exerted almost all my strength," said Susan after she pondered closely for a moment.

"Did he collapse on the floor right away? Did he knock his head against something else during the process?" asked Julian.

"No, his head didn't knock against anything else. He fell to the ground after I shoved him. Then... Then, when I checked on him, he had...had already died.” Agony flashed past Susan’s eyes.

The state of Richard’s death was still constantly playing through her mind now. Had it not been for Julian's support, she felt like she would really suffer from a mental breakdown.

Julian could not help frowning.

"Julian, what's wrong?” Susan looked at him

helplessly.

Julian said, "We have all been inside the room. The height of the bed isn't very tall. I don't think your act o f shoving him from the bed could cause his death."

"Yet... Yet, he died." Susan could not refrain herself from shaking profusely.

A deep look flashed past Julian's eyes. "I feel that there must be some inside information regarding this incident that we are unaware of."

Susan looked at him with a bewildered expression.

Julian felt his heart twisting in pain ever so slightly upon seeing her frightened appearance.

He rubbed Susan's head and whispered softly, "Susie, it's going to be alright. Don't worry, leave everything else to me. You should get some good sleep first."

Susan nodded and closed her eyes. She attempted to sleep with great effort.

Yet, she found that she was incapable of falling asleep with the scene of Richard’s death flashing through her mind over and over again.

It pained Julian to feel the woman's shivering body in his embrace yet there was nothing else better he could do for the time being.

He could only hold onto Susan tightly while hoping that his hug would put her at ease. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Julian squinted his eyes.

'Madam Jenkins, it's best for you to start praying that this incident is unrelated to you!"

'Otherwise...' Julian’s eyes were gleaming coldly.

It was already nighttime when they returned to Ningcheng City. 1

Susan was still in a perturbed state.

There was nothing else Julian could do except prescribe a small dosage of sleeping pills to her so that she could sleep.

Even though Susan did manage to fall asleep, her brows were still tightly furrowed as if she was having a nightmare.

Julian stretched out his hand to soothe her brows while humming a nursery rhyme softly.

"The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout.

Down came the rain and washed the spider out. 2

"Out came the sun and dried up all the rain and the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again."

It was the nursery rhyme that Susan taught him as a child.

He had always rejected the notion and refused to sing along with her at all times.

However, the tune of this nursery rhyme was deeply seared into his memories. He could remember it clearly like it was yesterday.

'Susie, even though you've already forgotten about our childhood in the past, I’m still here for you, always.' 2

'I will be with you forever and ever.'

It felt as if the gentle tune of the nursery rhyme was effective. Susan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed down slowly and her expression calmed down as well.

If someone acquainted with him were to witness this, that person would certainly be so surprised that his jaw would drop.

Was this person humming a nursery rhyme with a gentle expression really CEO Shaw?
