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

Chapter 240 Food Tasting

Luke Jenkins glanced at her. He was about to discipline Charlotte Jenkins when Joseph Shaw hastily said, "Charlotte is already in a very difficult position now. Don't scold her anymore, Mr. Jenkins. All the wrongs and mistakes are my fault. Charlotte is willing to stake the necklace to help me pull through this time. I will certainly treat her a hundred, a thousand times better from now on."

"I hope so," said Charlotte in a rigid tone.

Joseph chuckled shyly once again. "I still have some matters to attend to so I shall make a move first.”

Luke sent Joseph personally to the door. Upon Joseph's departure, Luke scolded Charlotte for a good while.

As soon as Luke left, Charlotte began smashing things wildly.

Damn it!

It was obviously Joseph's fault for not managing the situation properly, yet in the end, she was the one who had to help him pull through by offering the necklace!

Her brother still scolded her for not being magnanimous enough!

Charlotte was furious. She removed the jade bangle on her wrist and she was about to smash it!

However, she had just raised the bangle high in the air when she hesitated for a moment before she put on the bangle obediently once again.

Hmph. Since Joseph said that he would compensate her by a hundred to a thousand times, she would just wait and see then.

Also, she could still compromise with the jewelry, but the wedding had to be perfect!

Joseph returned to the company with a long face. The necklace that he purchased with 40 million was only worth 30 million when it was sold.

"Mr. Shaw, there's still a gap of 10 million..." the assistant said cautiously.

"Cut the wedding funds then!" Joseph replied coldly.

The assistant dared not comment anymore upon noticing the unpleasant expression on Joseph's face s o he hastily left to make arrangements.

Joseph managed to gather 9 million by making do with this and that and donated it to the Red Cross. 1

Moreover, he published a notification saying, 'The Joseph-Jenkins Corporation was planning to donate 100 million, but the donation was to be made in a few months in succession. In response to everyone's queries, the corporation has decided to make the full sum donation in one go.'

Then, a donation receipt was attached.

The review of the Joseph-Jenkins Corporation on the internet became considerably better when the donation amounted to 100 million.

Joseph’s face was still green with rage!

This incident was equal to the first showdown between him and Julian Shaw.

He used a nasty trick to eliminate a housekeeper from Julian's grasp. 2

Julian counterattacked in an open and upright manner. He used deception to force Joseph to the end of his rope and even tarnished the company's reputation.

It was apparent to see who was the winner and who was the loser of this battle.

He was forced to take back a gift that he had given away even.

Joseph never felt as embarrassed as he did now in his lifetime.

"Julian Shaw!" A wisp of mistiness flashed past Joseph’s eyes for a moment. "You are a terrifying opponent just as expected. However, it's still too early for you to be laughing. The game has just begun. We shall play with each other slowly!"

On the internet, Joseph regained some reputation with great effort by showing off the donation receipt.

However, someone soon spread the rumor that Joseph bought an expensive necklace before he made the donation. On the other hand, the necklace seemed to b e the one that Charlotte showed off previously.

The internet users took a look and found that the necklace around Charlotte's neck had been switched t o another one.

The internet broke into a mocking clamor at once.

Following that, a loud clap was heard.

One out of the numerous broken laptops in the Jenkins' house was destroyed.

Charlotte bawled and wailed bitterly on the bed from having a mental breakdown.

Her necklace was taken to be sold and the internet users managed to find out about this incident even. Charlotte wished that she could run into a wall and crash to death!

It was humiliating, it was truly too humiliating!

In fact, she even had the impulse to call off the wedding.

However, the collaboration between the two families had already been agreed upon. If she called off the wedding, it would affect too many things.

Thus, she could only marry Joseph regardless of how displeased she was.

Charlotte could not help wailing louder the more she thought about it.

If her fiance was Julian, he would never allow something so humiliating to happen to her.

While Joseph and Charlotte were having a mental breakdown as a result of Julian's small counterattack, Julian had only taken one glance at the news report before he cast the matter behind him.

"Susie, I got us the top executive chefs tomorrow.

Shall we have a food tasting for our wedding?" Julian asked.

"Why go through the trouble? Wouldn't it be fine to just place an order for a few dishes?" Susan Shelby was rather confused.

"How can that be? A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. It must be perfect and flawless in every way. I'm going to give you a fairytale-like grand wedding," said Julian in all apparent seriousness.

Susan could not help chuckling. "Why does it seem like you’re anticipating the wedding more than me? Shouldn't the female be yearning for a wedding more than a male usually? Or, are you actually the little princess?"

Julian’s expression darkened for a moment. He could not refrain himself from roaring aloud, "Susan Shelby!!"

Susan hastily tugged her ears. “My bad! I know that I'm wrong, Little Princess Shaw."

This was the legendary admitting fault in modesty but refusing to change in determination.

There was nothing that Julian could do to Susan anymore.

Julian decided to post this daily update to his WeChat later.

Hmm, he was an influencer with 5 million followers now. A large number of members from the JuSan fan club members were urging him to post new updates daily.

He had to satisfy the fans' wishes, right?

Julian just posted the update when he received a wave of 'awesome' comments.

'Their daily update is too sweet. I feel really lonely being single now.'

'So it turns out that Mr. Shaw is a little princess!'

'Mrs. Shaw is mighty powerful.’

Those were the followers’ bustling comments on Julian's WeChat page.

Julian was enjoying himself while reading the comments. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Susan could not help feeling speechless. "You're really quite free these days, huh."

Julian cracked into a cunning, charming smile. "I like i t when they praise us for being a well- matched couple.”

Julian clicked 'like' for the compliments and replied t o those jealous comments with resentment. He was having a good time bustling about.

Susan was amused by the sight of it.

She suddenly found that Julian...

Was truly rather childish!

However, there was still a saying that a man would behave like a child when he was with the woman that he loved, right? 2

Sometimes, Julian's childishness made her feel surprisingly calm.

The next day, Joseph and Charlotte were still in a chaotic mess while Julian and Susan had already begun to take part in the food tasting sweetly.

A total of 10 people would be seated at a table during the wedding feast and 30 courses would be served to each table. 1

Julian found the top executive chefs from different countries and had them come up with over a hundred courses specially for the wedding feast. They would b e choosing 30 courses from the over 100 courses today.

There were too many course meals so Julian invited Jacob Shelby and Seth Leeds to join them for the food tasting.

Seth Leeds was immensely touched by the table full of scrumptious dishes. He charged over to Julian and held his hand tightly. He said with tears streaming down his face and runny nose, "Young Master Shaw, I know that I’m in your heart after all, I..."

His statement sounded off the more he listened so Julian interrupted him. "There is so much food here and it's still not enough to shut you up?"

"It’s enough to shut me up, it's enough." Seth nodded repeatedly, sat down, and began chomping down the food.

One should know that both he and Jacob were so engrossed in developing the system day and night that they did not even have time to eat on usual days.

It had been way, way too long before he managed to enjoy a feast as grand as this.
