The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 114

At this point, everything was absolutely clear by now.

Julian Shaw raised an eyebrow. He made a call right away and found someone to take over the follow-up course of action.

He hung up the call and turned around to get Susan Shelby just to discover that Susan had already run over to Chance Hamilton without his notice.

Julian pulled a long face at once.

He made his way to them in a few swift steps just in time to hear Susan said gratefully, "Thank you, Chance.”

Julian's expression darkened even more.

This woman! It was obviously him who solved the issue, so why was she thanking someone else?

"It’s okay. I didn’t help much actually." Chance scratched his head with a blushing face.

Susan shook her head. "Your trust in me is the biggest help to me."

Looking at Susan, Chance pursed his lips and suddenly said, "Susie, you and Chairman Shaw..."

Susan's face blushed at once. "It is what it is as you've seen."

Chance could not help feeling like saying something but he stopped himself before he could speak.

He had never heard that Julian was married. Thus, he assumed that the husband Susan mentioned was a lie and she was only dating Julian in secret.

Yet, it was not easy for her to be married into a family like the Shaw family.

Chance pondered on it for a long while before he said softly, "Susie, I heard that Madam Shaw values family status very much. You’re with Chairman Shaw and I'm worried about you...”

Chance continued to speak but Julian was already incapable of listening anymore.

He walked over right away and wrapped his arm around Susan’s waist with a calm expression. "You’re Chance, right? Thank you for your concern for my Susie."

CEO Shaw emphasized the word 'my' intentionally!

Chance immediately felt rather embarrassed." Chairman Shaw, I..."

"It’s okay. Thank you for taking care of my Susie today.” Julian said calmly, "You will receive triple the amount for your year-end bonus later.”

Chance was immediately stunned.

Lanyard Construction's remuneration was renowned i n the industry and the year-end bonus distributed every year was even more impressive.

Triple the bonus was enough for him to make a small fortune.

"Chairman...Chairman Shaw, there's really no need for that." Chance stuttered, "Susie is my good friend. I’m supposed to do that."

Julian patted Chance’s shoulder calmly. "Take it and consider that as a token of my personal gratitude to you."

Julian’s tone was beyond all doubt so Chance could only nod.

There was an ineffable feeling that arose in his heart indistinctly.

This so-called husband of Susan’s had never revealed himself at all in the past.

He was still under the hypocritical assumption that Susan had albeit rejected his proposal, it was only because they met each other too late in life.

He thought that Susan’s husband may not necessarily be better than him, only that the husband was acquainted with Susan earlier.

Yet now...

He found out that the person was actually Julian Shaw!

Chance felt weak all over.

The person was actually Julian.

He was the all-powerful legendary figure in the industry.

How should he compare to a person like that?

Even though he constantly stood by Susan's side during today's incident, he was utterly incapable of helping her in a real sense.

On the other hand, Julian settled the incident in just a few simple conversations as soon as he appeared.
