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

Chapter 326 An Announcement!

As Luke read the verbal abuse the netizens were hurling toward Julian, his eyes glimmered with a sense of satisfaction.

Naturally, they were the ones who made up the receipt. However, the order came out from Julian’s account.

Nobody forced Julian into trusting Skyler Chantier and leaving everything into him. At this moment, he had gotten himself into a situation that was beyond any form of dispute.

Lanyard Construction's reputation had been dragged through the mud and so was Julian’s.

Luke leisurely skimmed through the comments.

"No freaking way! I don’t believe that Julian Shaw is such a person, he’s so kind and accommodating to his wife! How could he be a traitor!" One of the netizens argued.

Luke’s eyebrows puckered instantly as he glanced at the name of the netizen.

"A member of the JuSan Fan Club."

Luke’s expression turned grim immediately.

‘These people actually started a fan club for them.

Where do these people get their senses? Susan and Julian clearly aren't a match at all.'

He scrolled downward and continued reading. Among the cybercitizens who were debating about Julian, there were quite a number of people whose names were linked to the fan club.

When he saw that, he took on a more formidable look.

He then realized that once those people appeared, their arguments for Julian would be rebuked all the way by the other netizens. When Luke saw how it happened, his mood brightened up.

After a couple of days of this, Julian Shaw would be completed doomed! At that time, he'd let the whole world know that he and Susan were the ones who were destined to be the best couple.

"Let's see... I’d like to see what Julian's expression was like right this moment?" Joseph laughed enigmatically.

"My guess? I think he'd be grimacing miserably right now," Luke suggested unconcernedly.

"Let me give him a call and ask." Joseph picked up his cellphone and called Julian.

Julian glanced at the screen of his cellphone and smiled unfathomably.

He picked up the call. "Hello?”

"Hey cousin, it's me.” Joseph started the conversation with a chuckle. "Knowing that you might be in a gloomy mood, I’m calling to comfort you a little."

"Thanks man, but I'm feeling fine," Julian replied.

"Fine?" Joseph smirked. "Nah, don't fake it. I'm here to offer you an opportunity. Ten million per share, just sell all your Lanyard Construction shares you're holding on to me."

Julian laughed. "And if I refuse?"

'Ten million per share? That was a joke. Lanyard Construction's market value was upwards of a hundred billion so its net asset value per share should be around a billion dollars.

"You’re refusing? The whole country is now boycotting Lanyard Construction, the company is literally useless in your hands, Julian Shaw. Selling it now is the only way to revive Lanyard

Construction.” Joseph tapped the desktop with his knuckle. "It seems that you don’t have much choice. I'm still willing to acquire the company at ten million dollars per share but if this drags on, it might not be worth this much later on.”

Joseph was very certain, but his certainty seemed ridiculous in Julian's eyes.

The corners of Julian's lips raised into a curve and he claimed faintly, "I'm going to attend Marshal Wright's banquet."

Joseph sneered, “Are you planning to restrain me with Marshal Wright? He's in big trouble and can't even take care of himself now."

Julian ignored his provocation, and continued slowly,"

This banquet will be broadcasted live on internet television. You can watch it with Luke if you're free later."

Julian hung up the call after inviting the two to witness the broadcast.

Joseph creased his eyebrows.

"What did he say?" Luke asked.

"He said he's going to be attending the Marshal banquet at the Wrights. He even invited us to watch the live broadcast." Joseph still couldn’t believe it.

Julian's reactions were overly composed.

"Watch it live?" Luke frowned.

"He's probably mystery mongering." A hint of disdain flashed through Charlotte's eyes. "Since he wants us t o watch, let's watch it. We can get the chance to watch him being flustered."

Charlotte gritted her teeth while making her suggestion as she truly hated Julian to the very core right now.

Julian picked up all the calls that came in one after the other but declined to explain anything, merely asking the callers to watch the live broadcast this evening.

Madam Shaw was extremely nervous about the matter so Julian revealed little titbits of his plan to her. However, it was only the tip of the iceberg to get her to calm down.

After that, Julian posted loads of invitations online, asking the netizens to do the same as well.

Soon after posting the invitations, a lot of bitter, abusive language appeared in the comments from the netizens. That being said, they’d still watch it despite badmouthing Julian.

Thus, everything was ready, and the banquet started o n time in the evening.

As Julian promised, the banquet was as big and boisterous as it needed to be.

Marshal Wright sent plenty of invitations out as well and most of those invited attended the event.

However, their intent of sincerely attending the banquet or to witness a live joke was still something o f debate.

Coupled with the post which Julian shared on the Internet, the banquet had attracted attention from the whole country.

Some of the netizens already started hurling invectives all around the net as soon as they saw the grandeur of the party.

Some were scolding the Wrights while some were targeting Julian. The language they used was as abusive as words could be.

Amidst all the condemnation, the banquet began with as big a bang that was possible!

The Wrights were even brave enough to let all Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

reporters in!

As soon as the banquet started, there were already some reporters who could not help but ask: "Marshal Wright, do you have any comment or explanation for the recent events?"

"You accepted bribes so blatantly, are the national laws a joke to you?"

"What do you think of the term 'traitor'?'”

The questions that followed only got blunter.

George Wright couldn't handle all the questions at all but Luna Harris was smiling calmly at the side.

"It seems that nobody would be able to enjoy their meals at ease if we don't make things clear before the party starts. If that's the case, I shall make an announcement."

Luna smiled from ear to ear.

"An announcement?"

All eyes were on Luna at that moment.

"Susie, come here." Luna beckoned toward Susan.

Susan walked over gently.

Luna then raised Susan's arm, "My husband and I have organized this banquet, mainly to disclose this news to the world. Everyone should know that I lost a daughter in the political turmoil decades

ago.

"That was no secret to the public."

Many attendees nodded.

"However, I'd like to announce that I've now reunited with my daughter.” Luna's voice was very tender and loving, "Susan Shelby, is my long lost daughter, Rosalie Wright!"

'Susan... Is the daughter of George Wright and Luna Harris?’

The whole audience was silent for a moment before the discussions erupted.

Regardless of everyone's reaction, Luna brought up two pieces of information forward.

One of them was the DNA comparison report of Oliver and Susan from way back then while the other was one between George and Susan which just came in during the past few days.

If Susan's identity wasn't highlighted in Oliver's report and it had unclear information, then the new report didn’t only emphasize Susan’s identity, but had also been appraised by an third-party organization, which made it 100% unbiased and indisputable.

The reports were circulated among the crowd, and they were all a little surprised.

'Susan Shelby? George Wright’s daughter? That's a shocking change.’

As the documents went around among the audience, somebody responded to the news and asked, "If Susan is your biological daughter, then Julian Shaw..."

"He's our son-in-law." Luna nodded naturally.

Everybody couldn’t help but open their eyes widely.

What was the point of talking about corruption and bribery when they were the daughter and son-in- law o f the Wrights? Nobody could say anything about a rich couple who was willing to spend money on their parents?

Plus, if the relationship was genuine, Julian wouldn't even need to present the Wrights with gifts just to get them to help him out.
