The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 286

Julian's eyes shrank when he heard Madam Shaw's stern voice.

He had been trying very hard to keep his mother in the dark regarding Susan's heart disease, and had even made the decision to shoulder all the responsibility when he had to tell his mother that they weren't going to have any children.

However, he didn't expect his mother to know about it so soon.

Julian's expression turned grim. It now appeared to Julian that the one who sold him out was the same person who divulged Susan's abortion to Luke.

"I won't let the matter rest so easily this time, Julian. Let me in, I want to talk to Susan. I want to ask why must she do this to us. Why must she harm us like this? Does she really want to see the Shaws fall so much?" Madam Shaw shouted, her voice growing sterner with every passing second.

Julian narrowed his eyes. Considering the current situation, he had to stop his mother from seeing Susan at all cost.

If she were to confront Susan in her current condition, it would make things even messier.

Just as Julian was about to settle the matter on his own, Jacob's voice rang out, sounding surprised,"

Susie?"

Jerking his head back, Julian saw Susan had already come out of her room and was now standing on the staircase.

He did not know how long she had been standing there and how much of the conversation between him and Madam Shaw she managed to hear.

"That’s Mom, right?" Susan asked, her expression was calm.

Holding her gaze, Julian nodded. "Susie, don’t worry. I'll handle it."

"I can't let you handle everything," Susan said, holding her head low. Her countenance was calm and serene a s the face of heaven. "Let mom in."

"Susie..." Julian frowned.

"I can't always run away from everything.” Susan intercepted calmly, "What’s coming will come and we'll meet it when it does. Since Mom already knows about it, we should talk to her."

It was inevitable that war would ensue if he let both of them meet up. Susan wasn’t in the right shape to confront his mother so he figured that he shouldn’t allow his mother to come in right now.

As if able to read his mind, Susan smiled at him and said, "Don't underestimate me, Julian. I don’t always have to stay under your wings."

After that, she walked down the staircase toward the telephone before making a call to instruct the guard, " Let her in."

Julian wanted to stop her, but he suddenly felt a tug at his arm. Turning his head, his gaze turned to Jacob.

There was a serious expression etched on his face, and his gaze was determined. When he opened his mouth, his voice sounded firm, "It's time to put an end to this. I won't let anybody hurt Susie any longer.”

He picked up his phone and called Seth. "Bring the equity contract and my cask check. Come to Susie's house straight after that."

"Susie's house? What happened? Do you know how busy I am, Mr. Jacob Shelby? Our company has just started! I can’t just leave like that."

"Hurry up. I'll give you 20 minutes," Jacob ordered after looking at his watch.

"What? 20 minutes? I..." Seth was trying to say something but Jacob didn’t give him the chance. He hung up the call right after he finished his order.

Looking at the beauty in front of him, Seth's face scrunched up.
