The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 122

"Alright, if there's nothing else, let’s call it for the day," Luke said.

"Hold on!" A voice erupted.

Luke turned his head and his brows frowned when he saw Madam Jenkins and Charlotte.

"Charlotte is going to join the project," Madam Jenkins announced straightforwardly.

"Luke, I handled several projects singlehandedly while I was abroad, so I'm sure I can be of great help to you. Let me tag along in this negotiation," Charlotte said with a smile.

Looking at the duo, Luke's frown deepened, "This is an official engagement, not your usual playdate. There is somebody working on the project already and the group has enough manpower, so I don't see any reason as to why I should include you in the project."

"Yeah, we have enough people on hand to handle the project." Moya chimed in, a sardonic smile playing around her lips, "As the princess of the Jenkins, I'm certain that you're very capable but please don’t take the bread out of our mouth. We’ll starve to death if we lose our jobs."

Madam Jenkins pulled a long face when she saw Moya. She pulled Luke out of the meeting room and said, "Even that b*tch can take part in the project, so why don't you let Charlotte join? You're Charlotte's brother. How can you be so heartless?"

Luke sighed, ‘‘Mom, I'll have no objection if Charlotte i s really here to help me, but she's clearly aiming for Julian. If I let her in, she'll ruin the entire project!"

"She won't! I promise!" Madam Jenkins said without a doubt, "I’ll make sure that she won't drag you down. Besides, what if she settles with Julian? Wouldn't it be great news for all of us? Let me tell you, Luke. I’ve never lost in my entire life, so I’m not going to let Moya that slut to have it her way. No matter what, you must include Charlotte in the project." 1

Just when Luke was about to say something in return, Madam Jenkins continued, "I'm the chairperson of the Jenkins Corporation. If you're still wedded to your own opinions, I'll exact my power and strip you of your position as the CEO."

Setting his jaw tight, Luke fixed his gaze on Madam Jenkins as he asked, disbelief accenting his voice, "Do you really want to do this to me, mom?"

Madam Jenkins averted her gaze, but she soon turned her eyes back on Luke as she pleaded, "Luke, please help your sister."

This was all part of Madam Jenkins’ plan. Mandy was not listening to her anymore, and Luke bore a grudge towards her after Susan’s incident. The only way to restore her status in the family was through the marriage between Charlotte and Julian.

At that time, Mandy would not dare to raise her voice against her and Moya and her son would stop giving her trouble since she had the Shaws backing her up.

Luke rubbed his temples as disappointment filled his eyes. He said, "Okay, fine then. I can add Charlotte to the team, but on one condition. She has to listen to every word I say throughout the entire project.”

"Sure, sure, I promise you," Madam Jenkins quickly assented.

After that, Luke returned to the meeting room with a gloomy face and announced that Charlotte would be joining the project team.

A joyful look crossed Charlotte's face. On the other side, Madam Jenkins sliced through Moya with a condescending glare.

In the car, Charlotte had not recovered from her exhilaration yet. Soon, she would arrive at Lanyard and meet Julian. She had not seen him for half a month and she missed him a lot.

Shooting his sister a warning gaze, Luke said," Charlotte, I hope you understand the significance of this resort project to us. The Jenkins Corporation is now in the transitional period, so it's very vital for us t o make sure that the project runs smoothly. Besides, the early stage of this project required a large number of funds, so if the project fails, our capital chain will b e ruptured." "Don't worry, Luke," Charlotte said nonchalantly, "I’m was the top student at my business school. Besides, I haven't had any problems developing overseas markets on my own before, let alone now."

"But there is no Julian Shaw in the overseas market," Luke said calmly.

Truth be told, Charlotte was normal and she was indeed very trustworthy if things were not related to Julian. However, the moment the man appeared, she would undergo a sea of change in both her behavior and attitude.

"Rest assured, Luke. It’s exactly because we're dealing with Julian that I'll work even harder. This time, I’ll use my charisma to conquer him," Charlotte said confidently.

Even though Luke still felt a little skeptical when he saw Charlotte's confident look, he did not say anything more.
