The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 263

Susan seemed to understand something and said probingly, "She... stole the thumb drive?"

"Yup." Jacob nodded. "I think she's probably gone to Joseph now."

"You think Joseph's behind this too?" Susan was surprised that Jacob’s guess was similar to Julian’s.

Jacob shrugged. "I don't go out most of the time. Other than Joseph, I've never offended anyone. It’s highly plausible that he’s the one behind it."

Susan gritted her teeth. "That's too bad! Jenny must have already fled if things are like what you said.

Bonus to her..."

Jacob wore a small smile. "Not necessarily. Joseph must be ecstatic thinking that Jenny brought back the program, but when he opens it and realizes that it’s a fake one, guess what his reaction is going to be?" Jacob winked.

"Sure." Jacob could only agree.

"Susie," Jacob called, "You've spent nearly the whole day here. There are nurses around the hospital. You should go back and rest."

“No way," Susan said, yawning, "The doctor said that you still have three days of the critical period. I have t o stay by your side."

"Your baby needs to rest even if you don't. Listen to m e and be good," Jacob persuaded.

After a moment of dilemma, Susan spoke up, "The doctor did mention that there's an empty room next door. I’ll go take a nap there. If you need anything, I can come over instantly."
