The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 284

She was kidnapped! And she got out?

This woman was good at making things up.

Where could one find such a coincidence in the world?

However, she had the guts to come back to them.

Could she still believe that they were ignorant enough to trust her once more?

Jacob, with his piercingly cold look, asked, "Where are you now? I will get somebody to pick you up."

Anna provided her location at once.

Jacob immediately got a driver to go over and fetch her.

An hour later, Anna arrived at the Shaw Mansion in discomfiture and disorder.

Jacob took a glance at her condition and sneered.

Her act was truly quite realistic.

There was that tousled hair, that filthy clothing, and that shaky stance. If it were somebody else who did not know what happened before this, they would have believed her story.

"Thank you, Mr. Shelby, for getting someone to pick m e up. The place I was abducted to was so isolated, and I didn't have any money on me. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have known what to do," Anna said so while patting her chest.

"That’s great." Jacob's voice showed zero concern. " You're definitely born to be an actress. The act was so lifelike and believable."

"Huh?" Anna was bemused for a second, then she stared blankly at Jacob, "An act?"

Her expression looked extremely innocent, so innocent that the whole thing seemed indisputably true.

That look ignited Jacob’s heart and it started to burn i n the flame of rage.

He stood up and grabbed Anna’s wrist.

His action shocked Anna, "Mr. Shelby, it hurts..."

"So you do know the feeling of pain, huh?" Jacob's sight was never this terrifying, "But do you know that what Susie is going through now is a thousand times more agonizing than what you feel at this moment? S o what now? After leaking such important information to Luke, is it still insufficient? He asked you to extract more, right?"

Luke? Luke Jenkins?

Leaking information?

Anna was still confused. "Mr. Shelby, what are you talking about? I don't get it."

"So you still wish to play dumb huh?” Jacob questioned her while gnashing his teeth in anger. "It's because you told Luke about our plan! Now the operation has been aborted, things have never been so complicated. And Susie is morbidly enduring pain that no words can describe! Anna, had I known this would happen, I should've fed you to the sharks ever since you overheard our plans!"

The fury in Jacob's eyes was at the brink of materializing.

Anna started to get anxious, "Mr. Shelby, what are you talking about? Since when did I leak such information to Luke? I don’t even know who he is. Moreover, I’ve never left your side these few days. How could I have had the opportunity to disclose the information?”

"You never left? Then where were you just now?” Jacob asked with a scornful grin.

Anna was stunned for a second, then reacted suddenly, "Mr. Shelby, you’re suspecting that the whole abduction was a lie? No, I truly didn’t lie! When we were in the hospital, a nurse came to me, said she needed help, and asked me to go with her. I saw that both Mr. Shaw and you were very nervous, and I guessed you wouldn't be in the state of mind to take care of such agendas, so I went with her alone. Unexpectedly, I was knocked out as soon as I followed her. And when I woke up, I was already kidnapped to a house of some kind. It took me a lot of effort to escape, I..."

Anna explained frantically.

Jacob could not help but give a cynical laugh, "Oh really? Then tell me, what's the objective of the kidnappers?"

“How would I know?" Anna answered in a daze.

"They abducted you, but they let you escape so easily? When you're trying to make up a story, you should come up with something more logical and believable." Jacob's eyes were extremely mocking.

Anna truly was trying to deceive him like he was an idiot.

Staring at Jacob's disappointing sight, Anna had never felt so distressed. Her eyes were starting to tear up, "Mr. Shelby, please trust me. Mrs. Shaw is such a kind lady. Why would I try to hurt her? I was kidnapped for real, but I attended some self-defense classes, and that's how I escaped. But unfortunately, those kidnappers were masked and I couldn't recognize them. Otherwise, I can prove my innocence by capturing them."

"Well well well, do proceed." Jacob glared at her in apathy, "Your lies are getting better by the second.”

"I... I didn't..." Anna could not take the sardonic statement and started weeping.
