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

Chapter 285 I Am Here for Susan

"What? You let her escape?" Joseph's face was livid with annoyance while he listened to the report from his men. "What were you doing? You have four full-grown men, and you let a feeble girl get away?"

Big Daddy was dejected while Joseph taught him a lesson. After a short while, he spoke with a grudge as h e was not reconciled with the outcome, "Boss, we also thought she was a puny girl, so we left her in a corner and didn’t pay much attention to her. But this girl, Anna, I don't know how she did it. She managed to break free and escape. Moreover, she is trained. Little Finger and I were on the lookout while she got loose, and we weren't able to stop her even though we teamed up."

Big Daddy became dispirited again as he explained.

He may not be the toughest goon in the gang, but he was definitely among those who were above- average. Little Finger was not much worse than him, but in the end, they were no match for a delicate woman. He felt ashamed of himself.

"Trained?" Joseph was shocked.

"Yeah, and she fought well," Big Daddy added.

Joseph could not help frowning.

He hired them to abduct Anna, and it was just to find his plot a scapegoat. Julian's plan was leaked, and

Anna disappeared out of a sudden. She would be held as the prime suspect, and this way he would not be exposed as the mole behind the chaos.

But as a result, Anna, an inconspicuous caretaker turned out to be a trained fighter. Not to mention, she was good at it. If Anna had escaped, his scheme to frame her would have loopholes now.

After all, how would someone be so stupid to go back after being exposed as a traitor?

But that was not necessarily true - Julian might outsmart himself by thinking that Anna was doing just the opposite.

Joseph got a little agitated as he thought about it.

His move to plant a mole next to Julian had been going on for so many years. If it were to be exposed by such an inconsequential matter, it would not have been worthwhile. Now he could only hope that Julian would not suspect him.

Joseph contacted his mole via a special medium and asked about his current condition in the Shaw Mansion. When mole claimed that Julian had not suspected him just yet, Joseph then breathed a sigh of relief.

"You! I don't care about the reason behind it, but the girl did escape due to your poor supervision. So scat and go grab the punishment you deserve now." Joseph instructed in his cold, bold voice.

As soon as they heard the order, those men started trembling in fear.

However, there was nothing they could have said to argue, so they retreated conscientiously.

Joseph was known as a virtuous businessman in Ningcheng City, but deep down, he was still the ruthless mafia boss. A lot of the employees working in his current company were actually members of his previous gang, and the regulations were still in accordance with the rules of the mafia.

In just a few years, Joseph was able to develop his gang into one of the strongest mafia groups in the States. His methods were self-evident, and the various rules within the gang were also very strict.

Joseph’s casual remark of asking them to go and receive their punishment might have already reaped away half of their souls.

Joseph squinted his eyes and sneered slightly. It seemed that Julian was still suspecting Anna, so he had to do something to aggravate his suspicion!

In the dark room, Susan had been laying on the bed. She had not uttered a single word ever since she got back from the hospital.

Julian and Jacob persuaded her to eat something, and she did also try her best to cooperate, but as soon as she swallowed the food, it did not take long before she vomited.

Looking at Susan weakened so swiftly, Julian and Jacob were in distress However, there was nothing much they could do.

"Susie, please don't torture yourself anymore.” Julian did not dare to leave Susan alone anymore. He embraced her carefully, just like anybody would do to their precious treasure. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Susan's appearance was pallid, and her tears silently rolled down her cheeks from her eyes.

She did not want to put herself through all this torment too, but she could not control herself.

Whenever she thought that she might lose the baby, she quivered in terror.

However, if she chose not to abort it, she felt even more grieved, thinking that the baby would inherit the disease once it was born.

She feared that the baby would blame her for giving it a frail body.

While thinking about that, Susan caressed her tummy subconsciously.

'Mommy's baby, could you let Mommy know what Mommy should do now?'

Susan was in despair, and the baby became quiet too. I t used to move occasionally every day, but now there had not been any movement all day.

Seeing that, Susan felt even more miserable.

‘Baby. Is it because you already know that we want to abandon you that you are angry now? You are already

ignoring Mommy for that?'

Her tears gushed more rapidly.

'But baby, you need to know that nobody would ever love you more than Mommy does.

'Mommy is not afraid of dying. Mommy is only afraid that you will resent Mommy in the future.'

For the whole night, Susan leaned into Julian’s embrace, sobbing quietly.

As for Jacob, he stayed downstairs in the living room. I t was also a sleepless night for him.

The next morning, after having her nerves tensed for s o long, Susan finally fell asleep.

Julian gazed at her with all his sorrow, then he went downstairs.

Jacob saw Julian coming down from the stairwell. He raised his eyebrows and was about to say something.

Suddenly, the landline rang.

Julian picked the phone up and he heard the porter's panicked voice.

"Young Master Shaw, you said that without Mrs.

Shaw’s consent, we should not let Madam Shaw into the house. But now Madam Shaw insists on coming i n. We're trying to keep her out, but she is forcing it now, we..."

As the porter was about to continue, the phone was snatched away from him. "Julian Shaw!"

"Mom." Julian creased his eyebrows.

Madam Shaw laughed sardonically, "So you still know that I am your mother huh? This is my son's house, and I'm forbidden from entering it? I think you have already been besotted by that vixen! I'm telling you, I a m coming in today. If you won't let it happen, I'll kneel here at your doorsteps and we'll see whether can you, Mr. Julian Shaw, can bear such a scene."

Madam Shaw sounded very determined. Julian felt a little stressed at that moment, "Mom, please wait, I'll g o to you at the door, we can talk alone."

"I don't need to speak to you alone, I am here for Susan!" Madam Shaw asserted directly.

"You’re here for Susan? What for?" Julian became alert in an instant.

"What for? Are you still trying to hide it from me? I know that the heart disease that Jacob Shelby had is hereditary. So Susan will develop this disease too, and her children will get it also. Isn't this a scourge that'll b e passed down the line of the Shaws? No way, I must tell her clearly. I'll see if she still has the ground to occupy the position of Mrs. Shaw." Madam Shaw became more progressively more enraged as she spoke.

Shouldn’t there be the DNA test result from before? And now with this hereditary heart disease, it was crystal clear to Madam Shaw that Susan was here to harm Julian and to impair the Shaws.

No way. Nothing was more important than the Shaws' bloodline, and she would not let Julian have it his way this time.
