The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 278

"Indeed, it’s all thanks to you, Luke. If you hadn't acted as the go-between for me, the company wouldn't have developed so fast," Joseph said, offering Luke a smile.

"Oh yeah, I’m not sure if you're aware of it or not, but there are some weird rumors going around saying that you’ve eaten some cow pies during the SL system's launching event. Although it's just a rumor, it will affect your reputation. I suggest you do something about it," Luke said with a frown.

Joseph's expression changed.

He had utilized all of his connections and he even borrowed the power from the government to cover the matter up.

However, other people might not know about the truth, but he was certain of it. He did eat the cow pies.

It was all Julian's fault. If it were not for him, he would not have made a fool of himself. As such, he had sworn that he would never let the matter rest so easily.

Joseph did not expose anything to Luke. He put on a smile and said, "It's difficult to stop the rumor, but luckily not many believe in it since it's too ludicrous."

“You're right too," Luke nodded after he thought for a while.

Suddenly, Joseph's phone rang.

He gave Luke an apologetic nod, then walked to the side and answered the phone.

"Charlotte, is Joseph good to you?" Luke asked Charlotte.

"Well, so far his performance is passable," Charlotte nodded and answered.

Only then did Luke feel relieved. Just when he was about to ask another question, Joseph suddenly raised his voice.

"Julian wants to abort his kid?"

"What?" Luke’s expression changed and he looked towards Joseph.

As if he did not realize his gaze, Joseph continued to ask for a few more questions before hanging up the call.

"What happened, Joseph? What did you say just now? Julian wants to abort his kid?" Luke asked. He did not believe what he had heard at all.

After all, everyone could see how good Julian was to Susan. There was no way he could fake his feelings towards Susan and the baby.

"Yeah," Joseph answered. He was genuinely surprised by the news as well, "I've planted somebody beside Julian, and he is the one who told me everything. He said Julian wants to abort the baby, and Julian did not tell Susan. He has already found the hospital and doctor, and the abortion operation is expected to be carried out today." "Is the person reliable?" Luke asked again. He still found it hard to believe.

"Yeah. 100% reliable," Joseph replied firmly.

A triumphant grin crossed Charlotte's face after she heard what Joseph had said. "Hah, finally! What goes around comes around. That b*tch finally gets what she deserves! Julian wants to abort the baby? Could it be that he is really not the father of the baby? Hah, that woman is so..."

"Shut up!" Luke shouted at Charlotte. His face was livid with rage.

Charlotte frowned. She did not know what had gotten into her brother again. She shouted back grouchily, "I didn't say anything wrong; otherwise, why would Julian want to abort the baby? Also, what’s with the face, Luke? I hope you don't forget what Mom told you. You shouldn't involve yourself in Susan's affairs anymore!"

Luke's face turned grim and he did not speak for a long while.

Suddenly, he jerked his head up and looked at Joseph. "Since you have somebody inside, you should know about the time and the location of the hospital, right?"

"Yeah, but..." Joseph blinked his eyes. "This is Julian's private affair. There is no need for us to put our nose i n it, right? After all, it did not affect our plan at all."

"Give me the address." Luke had risen to his feet.

"But..."

"Just f*cking give me the address!" Luke shouted.

Joseph seemed to have been stunned by him. Left with no other option, he sent the time and location of the hospital to Luke. After getting the information that he wanted, Luke took his jacket and rushed out of the house.

"Luke, where are you going?" Charlotte shouted at her brother, but to no avail. He soon disappeared from her vision.

Charlotte stamped her feet in frustration. She turned t o Joseph and berated him indignantly, "Why did you give the address to my brother? I'm sure he is going to see that slut right now."
