The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 13

"What the-" The policeman spun around to look at the newcomer angrily.

All he saw was Julian being escorted by the head of the police station who stood there gloomily.

"Chief." The policeman stood up nervously.

The police chief ignored him and was only trying to please Julian. "Chairman Shaw, this is really a misunderstanding. My subordinates didn’t perform their duties well, and I'll punish them later."

Sulking, Julian marched straight towards Susan." Dumb woman, if Alfred hadn't called me, were you planning on staying here? Did a dog eat your brain u p?!" 2

Julian put on a long face while his expression was horrible and his words were not very pleasant.

However, the instant that Susan saw him, a sense of security flooded her entire body. A series of grievances were slowly felt in her heart, then suddenly, her eyes became watery. She said softly," Julian, I...I didn’t do it. They are wrongly accusing me."

As Julian looked at her reddened eyes, his heart and tone softened. "I know."

"Mm-hmm!" Susan nodded vigorously.

At that moment, those two words 'I know' triumphed over all other sweet words.

"Come here." He held her hand, then scowled. "I'm taking her home. Do you all have any comments?"

"B-but she..." a policeman stammered.

The chief interrupted, "This was a misunderstanding from the start. Chairman Shaw, you may take her home."

He walked up to remove Susan's handcuffs.

Julian subconsciously scowled at her red wrists. He kept quiet and took Susan out of there.

"Chief, what about the jewelry theft case? Miss Shelby’s case involves $1.9 million."

“Are you stupid? Do you even know who that was just now? That was Julian Shaw! Would Julian Shaw's woman have bothered about $1.9 million? There must've been a hidden agenda behind this incident. Reinvestigate it starting with the jewelry store staff!"

"Yes, sir!"

The police station realigned the direction of the case and started the reinvestigation.

At the entrance of the police station, Julian walked out with Susan and suddenly bumped into Luke.

"Mr. Jenkins." Julian squinted.

Stunned, Luke glanced down at them holding hands and somehow felt sad. Nevertheless, he recollected his emotions and said, "I know Miss Shelby was framed, s o I’m here to be her witness, but it doesn’t matter now since you've bailed her out, Chairman Shaw."

"Of course, my woman, my responsibility. Who else can she rely on besides me?" Julian stared at Luke.

However, Luke had his eyes on Susan who did not look up or say anything. The smile on his face suddenly looked forced. After a long while, he simply said, "I think my presence here is unnecessary."

"It's good that you know," Julian said coldly, "Mr.

Jenkins, all you need to take care of is to stay away from my woman. Other than that, there's nothing you need to worry about. As for now, please excuse us. We're leaving.”

Luke narrowed his eyes and moved aside slowly as Julian then left with Susan.

As Luke watched them leave, his heart suddenly felt empty. It was as though he had lost something very important.

"Luke, why are you standing there?” Mandy rushed over while catching her breath. "You...you walked so fast that I couldn't catch up with you." 3

When he turned and looked at her expressionlessly, Mandy felt uneasy under his glance. "What is it?"

"Nothing.” Luke looked away.
