The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 224

In the room.

"What should we do now? What should we do now? Mandy is such a fool. How could she think of filling a lawsuit against Susan?” Madam Jenkins was anxious.

“Don’t worry, Mom." Unlike Madam Jenkins, Charlotte was still able to keep her calm. "Dad’s body has been cremated. All of the servants knew nothing of it, and the only maid involved in it was your confidant. She's i n America right now, so as long as she doesn’t show u p, everything will be alright."

"Besides..." Charlotte paused as a dark glint flitted across her eyes, "It's Mandy who wants to go against Susan this time, so it has nothing to do with us

Jenkins. I’m sure Julian knows about it as well. He will not unleash his fury on us, so just let him deal with Mandy."

"You're right." Madam Jenkins finally calmed down.

"Not only that, but under the circumstances where there is no solid evidence, it'll be impossible for Susan to prove her innocence. Even if we can't convict her of her crime, the rumors will be a lot for her to deal with,” Charlotte continued, her eyes flared with a cold glint.

She heard Susan was pregnant. Right now, she just hoped that this incident would affect her so much that it could cause her to lose her kid. It was only then that she would feel happy for whatever Susan did to her last time.

She was certain that this lawsuit would be very interesting. She wanted to go to the scene and have a good look at Susan's face.

As the matter continued to grow, three days soon passed and it was the day of the hearing.

The case had received a lot of attention from the citizens in Ningcheng City. On top of that, the court decided that the hearing would be an open hearing. A s such, the hall was still filled to the brim although it could hold 500 people at once.

Like a lone warrior, Mandy stood as still as a ramrod o n the plaintiff's seat, shooting daggers at Susan who was walking into the court.

Susan was still as gentle as before. It seemed as if the rumor had not affected her in any way.

What made Mandy jealous the most was that Julian stood by Susan's side in a protective gesture the entire time. He helped her walk through the aisle and his eyes had never left her since the moment they stepped into the court. Even though she was an outsider, she could see how much Julian loved Susan.

Mandy turned and looked at Luke, her husband.

She noticed that Luke was looking at Susan as well!

Her fingers dug deep into her palm as a maniac light appeared in her eyes.

She did not tell anybody about her witness and the evidence. Right now, everyone including Luke assumed that this case would only affect Susan's reputation since there was no solid evidence to prove that she was the murderer. Only she knew that if she wished, she could send Susan into jail.

A triumphant grin crossed Mandy's face.

'Nobody is going to save you this time, Susan. I swear you'll get the punishment you deserve this time!' 1

"The hearing is almost starting. Susie, I've applied to sit for you in the defendant's seat. You just wait for me here," Julian said.

"Julian," Susan called out to him. She then put her hand on top of his as a determined expression dawned upon her face. She said, "I'll go myself, Julian. You have done a lot for me, and if I can't face it myself on the last step, wouldn't it make me a useless person?"

"But..." Julian frowned.

"Don't worry about me, Julian. I have to settle some scores with them myself,” Susan smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes.

She had been haunted by one nightmare after another for so long because of the incident. She had lost count of how many times she would wake up from the nightmare. She had lost count of how many times she wept in guilt until her pillow was wet with her tears.

She did not deserve any of this. Those who should have suffered what she suffered were sitting innocently in the audience as if they were the victims.

Susan cast a glance at Madam Jenkins and then she rose to her feet.

Looking at her determined look, Julian did not persuade her anymore. He helped Susan walk over to the defender’s seat first before sitting down in a seat that was nearest to her.

"Thank you for today, Mandy," Susan said flatly as she looked at Mandy.
