The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 240

Luke Jenkins glanced at her. He was about to discipline Charlotte Jenkins when Joseph Shaw hastily said, "Charlotte is already in a very difficult position now. Don't scold her anymore, Mr. Jenkins. All the wrongs and mistakes are my fault. Charlotte is willing to stake the necklace to help me pull through this time. I will certainly treat her a hundred, a thousand times better from now on."

"I hope so," said Charlotte in a rigid tone.

Joseph chuckled shyly once again. "I still have some matters to attend to so I shall make a move first.”

Luke sent Joseph personally to the door. Upon Joseph's departure, Luke scolded Charlotte for a good while.

As soon as Luke left, Charlotte began smashing things wildly.

Damn it!

It was obviously Joseph's fault for not managing the situation properly, yet in the end, she was the one who had to help him pull through by offering the necklace!

Her brother still scolded her for not being magnanimous enough!

Charlotte was furious. She removed the jade bangle on her wrist and she was about to smash it!

However, she had just raised the bangle high in the air when she hesitated for a moment before she put on the bangle obediently once again.

Hmph. Since Joseph said that he would compensate her by a hundred to a thousand times, she would just wait and see then.

Also, she could still compromise with the jewelry, but the wedding had to be perfect!

Joseph returned to the company with a long face. The necklace that he purchased with 40 million was only worth 30 million when it was sold.

"Mr. Shaw, there's still a gap of 10 million..." the assistant said cautiously.

"Cut the wedding funds then!" Joseph replied coldly.

The assistant dared not comment anymore upon noticing the unpleasant expression on Joseph's face s o he hastily left to make arrangements.

Joseph managed to gather 9 million by making do with this and that and donated it to the Red Cross. 1

Moreover, he published a notification saying, 'The Joseph-Jenkins Corporation was planning to donate 100 million, but the donation was to be made in a few months in succession. In response to everyone's queries, the corporation has decided to make the full sum donation in one go.'

Then, a donation receipt was attached.

The review of the Joseph-Jenkins Corporation on the internet became considerably better when the donation amounted to 100 million.

Joseph’s face was still green with rage!

This incident was equal to the first showdown between him and Julian Shaw.

He used a nasty trick to eliminate a housekeeper from Julian's grasp. 2

Julian counterattacked in an open and upright manner. He used deception to force Joseph to the end of his rope and even tarnished the company's reputation.

It was apparent to see who was the winner and who was the loser of this battle.

He was forced to take back a gift that he had given away even.

Joseph never felt as embarrassed as he did now in his lifetime.

"Julian Shaw!" A wisp of mistiness flashed past Joseph’s eyes for a moment. "You are a terrifying opponent just as expected. However, it's still too early for you to be laughing. The game has just begun. We shall play with each other slowly!"

On the internet, Joseph regained some reputation with great effort by showing off the donation receipt.

However, someone soon spread the rumor that Joseph bought an expensive necklace before he made the donation. On the other hand, the necklace seemed to b e the one that Charlotte showed off previously.

The internet users took a look and found that the necklace around Charlotte's neck had been switched t o another one.

The internet broke into a mocking clamor at once.

Following that, a loud clap was heard.

One out of the numerous broken laptops in the Jenkins' house was destroyed.

Charlotte bawled and wailed bitterly on the bed from having a mental breakdown.

Her necklace was taken to be sold and the internet users managed to find out about this incident even. Charlotte wished that she could run into a wall and crash to death!

It was humiliating, it was truly too humiliating!

In fact, she even had the impulse to call off the wedding.

However, the collaboration between the two families had already been agreed upon. If she called off the wedding, it would affect too many things.
