The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 138

It was Luke. It was because of him that Madam Jenkins did not press charges against her. 1

Susan pressed her lips tight and she did not feel happy even after she solved the mystery.

"Susie, I just wish for you to give Charlotte another chance. After all, the Jenkins did not hold you accountable for my father's death," Luke implored.

"Don’t beg her for anything, Luke. This woman is a scum, I..."

"Shut up!" Before Charlotte could finish her sentence, Luke turned around and gave her a slap on her face.

Charlotte was stunned. She had never seen her brother so angry before. Her lips quivered, and she lamely swallowed her words back to her stomach pit.

Luke turned back and looked at Susan once more," Susie, please. I swear that this will be the last time."

Susan looked at him silently. She read the pain and plea in his eyes, and it was something new to her.

She bit her lower lips and turned to Julian, "Julian... Can you leave this to me?"

Julian frowned. "Susie, she will never get her act together. If we let her go, she might do something even worse next time."

"She won’t! I promise! I'll lock her up in the house after this. I'll never let her come out again,” Luke added.

"You can lock her up for all you want. You can shut her up in your house for two months or you can send her out of the country, I don't f*cking care. But the question is this: are you sure you can keep her in check for the rest of her life?" Julian sneered.

Luke gritted, "I’ll figure something out."

"What can you..."

Just when Julian was about to press on, he felt someone tug at his arm.

He turned around and looked at Susan, his eyes filled with questions. Gazing at him determinedly, Susan said, "Julian, can you let me handle it this time?"

His brows furrowed deeper, "Susie, I can let you handle it, but you must not be too lenient to her."

"Don’t worry," Susan Looked at Julian gratefully before turning to Luke who was gazing at her with expectant eyes.

She pressed her lips thin and said, "I can promise you. I won't press charges against Charlotte, but I have a few conditions."

"Absolutely. I'll promise you anything!" Luke's eyes sparkled.

"First," Susan continued, "You have to hand over her accomplice to me." 1

Luke accented without any hesitation, "Sure, I'll hand him to you.”

He would not utter a single word even if Susan wanted the person's life.

Susan had expected his answer. Then, she moved on," Second, I don't want to see her in front of me or Julian anymore. Otherwise, we have a witness on our hand, and we can still sue her at any time."

This was also the main reason she wanted Luke to hand over the accomplice to her. She could use him to keep Charlotte at bay.

"You want me to stay away from Julian? In your dreams, Susan Shelby, in your dreams!" Charlotte screamed.

Luke threw a stink gaze at her and then nodded straightaway. "Okay, I promise. She will not appear in front either of you anymore.”

Susan let out a sigh of relief before continuing, "That's it. After you hand the accomplice to Julian, you can leave with Charlotte."

"Okay," Luke answered without any qualm. Then, he went over to Charlotte and pulled her up from the ground.

"I’m not leaving, Luke! I'm not leaving!" She began to struggle with all of her might, "Let go of me! Julian, help me! Julian!"

Luke’s voice turned cold. "If I hear one more word out o f your mouth, forget about Julian. I'll send you to prison myself. Don't think that I won’t do it, Charlotte Jenkins.”

Charlotte's body shook. She gnashed her teeth and kept silent.

As Luke dragged his sister out, he turned around and said, "The accomplice is at the door. I'll leave him to you then, Mr. Shaw."
