The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 234

"Who's this Joseph Shaw?" Susan asked, noticing that Julian minded the name.

"My younger cousin, basically." Julian’s eyes were squinted with an unreadable gaze.

His expression...

Susan blinked.

"You guys have some sort of grudge?"

Julian pulled her onto his lap with a smile. "Kinda. When my dad passed away back then, my uncle wanted to fight for the assets but my mother was good enough that they didn’t manage to take anything. Then their family moved to America and stayed there. Now that my uncle has just passed and Joseph is making a union with the Jenkins, I’m afraid he's venturing into the Canadian market."

Julian’s gaze was deep. Joseph Shaw and the Jenkins ... Their collaboration was probably targeted at the Straws.

He did not state it aloud, not wanting Susan to worry, but the latter was not foolish. She could guess as much. This was not pleasant news to the Straws. A sliver of worry flashed across her eyes.

"Julian, if it weren't for me, the Straws wouldn't have offended the Jenkins. Now that they’re working

together, will something happen to Lanyard?”

Julian gave Susan a smooch with a grin. "What sort of man am I if I can’t even protect my wife and get you the justice you deserve? As for the Jenkins siblings, w e can't control it if they decide to resent us. It's just as long as our conscience is clear. Besides, your husband is Julian Shaw. Don’t worry, they won’t be able to do much."

"Mm.” Susan could not help flashing a smile.

Julian could always bring her a paramount sense of security.

Julian shifted his sight back to the news.

Joseph and the Jenkins had put in a lot of effort for the engagement. News of the powerful partnership of the two families was everywhere on the internet.

Julian gave it a thought and had someone buy all the available newspapers in the market back. Going through the newspapers from different publishers, all the headlines were the same, highlighting the marriage announcement. In addition, similar phrases like 'match made in heaven' and 'powerful collaboration' were used as well. 1

There was a squint in Julian's eyes.

'Joseph Shaw... Best if you don't have any ulterior motive...'

'Otherwise, I'll make you leave this time just like how you were chased out the last time.'

The internet and the newspapers were covering the same news. Joseph and Charlotte's engagement gained traction and for a moment, that was all that bombarded everyone.

The newspapers were even spinning stories about Joseph’s family background and flashing his meeting gift to Charlotte, a necklace that was worth more than millions of dollars. The internet had interview videos o f Joseph circulating around.

Joseph said that it was not just a marriage of convenience. He fell in love with Charlotte at first sight and would protect her for life. He was going to give her an unprecedented wedding not too long after this.

Joseph looked charming in the video. His words overflowed with his infatuation for Charlotte.

Envious comments of Charlotte bubbled everywhere.

When Charlotte watched the video and flipped through the newspapers, she was content. She did not like Joseph, but all women were materialistic.

Joseph's high profile declaration of his love for her fell on her good side, especially when he promised to throw her the best wedding there could ever be.

When Susan married Julian... she did not even have a wedding.

The smile on Charlotte’s face grew wider when she thought that she finally won against Susan in a
