The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 161

Isabelle Shelby could not help being stunned upon listening to Julian Shaw icy cold words.

She was still under the assumption that Julian wanted to do something with her and her heart was filled with joy.

Yet, it was obvious that Julian wanted to use money to put an end to the past events judging by the situation now.

Isabelle could not help panicking.

Without her stolen identity 'Little Flower,’ there was utterly nothing that she could use to get close to Julian at all.

Now, Julian wanted to cut ties with the past. Would that not break all her hopes completely?

'No, I can't allow this to happen.’

Isabelle clenched her teeth and shoved away the contract and cheque while looking at Julian with a sad expression. "Mr. Shaw, why do you do this? Could i t be that I was a good friend to you when we were young just so I could get this small sum of money? You’re insulting me!”

Julian narrowed his eyes. "Isabelle, my advice to you i s to choose either one. This is the only time that I'm repaying your favor. If you reject this opportunity, I

can assure you that this won't happen again."

Isabelle could not help raising her head to look at Julian.

His stern and cold expression was completely different from the affectionate expression he assumed when he was with Susan Shelby.

Why...

Why did he make the decision to marry Susan when h e thought Susan was Little Flower?

When he found out that she was Little Flower now, why did he choose to use a simple yet brutal way of using money to deal with her?

Was she really that inferior to Susan?

Isabelle could not help biting her lower lip strenuously. She refused to accept the fact that she was inferior to Susan but she blamed Susan for leaving a stronger first impression on Julian.

If she was the one who met Julian first, she was certain that she could marry Julian too.

"Regardless of your choice, I think of this as my returning the favor already." Julian said calmly, "From now on, don't try to get close to Susan and you’re not allowed to tell her the childhood events either.

Otherwise..."

Julian paused for a moment. "Actually, I don’t want to ruin the happy memories of our childhood either.

Don't force me to do it."

Isabelle turned ghastly pale.

If one were to describe his method earlier to be luring by the promise of a gain, his method now was fully intimidation.

Julian was actually so heartless to her.

"You have five minutes to consider." Julian took out a pocket watch right away and placed it on the table.

Isabelle looked at him, misty-eyed. "Little Leaf, what have I done wrong? Why do you have to be so heartless to me?"

"Heartless?" Julian raised an eyebrow. "With the remuneration of five million, I don’t think that I'm heartless."

It was true that he still owed a favor to Isabelle.

However, he could never allow this favor to ruin his life with Susie.

In that case, he could only solve it with money.

It was unrelated to being heartless, but it was a business deal.

Isabelle looked at him with a ghastly pale face.

There was utterly no change in Julian’s expression despite her weeping.

If she were to decline the five million, it was highly possible for her to end up getting nothing out of this...

Isabelle's nails cut into her flesh from her clenching her fists so tightly.

Time was passing by the moment. Julian raised an eyebrow and he was about to speak.

Isabelle said with a sorrowful expression, "Mr. Shaw, I wasn't planning on telling Susie actually. If I were to take this so-called remuneration to give you a peace o f mind...then I shall fulfill your request.”

Isabelle picked up the contract after making a beautifully-crafted statement. "I choose the contract."

Her calculation was witty. She could take the cheque yet it was only worth five million in total which did not amount to much.
