The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 120

Susan closed the gossipy group chat directly.

She then looked up the local news casually.

Suddenly, a topic caught her attention.

"Richard’s illegitimate son won the lawsuit. He's going to inherit the great property."

'Richard’s illegitimate son?'

Susan clicked on the news and looked at it roughly.

It was the news.

Richard did not leave any will behind. All his properties would be divided in half. According to the law, one half would be given to his wife, and the other half would be divided equally by his three children.

At first, Madam Jenkins did not bother about that illegitimate son. She certainly did not think about letting him inherit the properties.

Unexpectedly, Moya filed a property lawsuit against them directly. At last, she won the lawsuit.

Now, the court demanded them to divide the Jenkins' properties again. Connor Jenkins would definitely be able to inherit the properties which were worth more than tens of millions of dollars.

'The Jenkins...'

Susan was in a daze.

It had been a long while since she paid close attention to the Jenkins’ affairs.

Now, they were caught in such a lawsuit. Certainly, the Jenkins would be in a chaotic state by now.

She wondered whether Luke could handle that. 1

It lasted only for a split second. Soon, she ignored it.

Both of them had their own lives now. Luke was no longer the person whom she needed to care about.

At the Jenkins, there was a successive sound of something being broken or smashed in the room.

Luke reached the door.

The servant said nervously, "Young master, finally you’re home. Madam Jenkins has been throwing a tantrum the entire morning."

"Alright." Luke nodded and entered the room.

He narrowed his eyes slowly as he took in the state of things in the living room.

Madam Jenkins was busy smashing things. Charlotte was by her side, trying her best to advise her against i t. On the other hand, Mandy was eating fruits beside them. She seemed to be enjoying their misfortunes.

Suddenly, Luke had a terrible headache.

His family was living happily before.

He had a strict and solemn mother with a cute younger sister.

'When did it become like this?'

Luke pursed his lips and walked over to them. "Mom, what are you angry about again?"

"Again?" Madam Jenkins became much angrier when she heard that. "Do I like to be angry? My son, why do I have to suffer so for my entire life? I did this just for you and Charlotte. Now, all the properties are going to be divided and given to that b*stard child too. How could I accept it?"

However, Luke remained calm.

He said calmly, "Both Moya and Connor do not have such good plotting skills. At first, no one dared to force us to act according to the law even if they won the lawsuit. This time around, the court did not even allow us time to transfer the ownership of the properties. They forced us to divide the properties instead. Why do you think this happened?"
