The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 292

Julian looked at Skyler with an unnerving small smile. "Relax. I don’t intend to blame you. It’s just that I don't want this woman to die so easily. Let me vent o n my own."

As he spoke, his expression darkened into a sinister look. "Susie's more important than my life. I may have mercy on those who set me up but... to Susie, I’ll make them regret ever being born whoever it is."

Julian's tone was stern and unyielding, chilling Skyler to his core, but he calmed down swiftly. The former was speaking about Anna, not him.

"Anything done against the woman isn’t too much anyway," Skyler chorused.

Julian looked at him with a thoughtful gaze before replying with a chuckle, "It’s fine, you don’t have to worry about it. The company is yours for the next half a year. Don't disappoint me.”

"Yes, sir," Skyler answered solemnly.

"I've asked everyone else in the company to cooperate with you on your work. Go ahead and get to know the situation first. Remember to ask me if there's anything you don’t understand," said Julian.

"Alright." Skyler stood up. "I'll head back to the office first, Mr. Shaw."

Julian nodded wordlessly.

As Skyler made his leave, Julian looked thoughtful as he stared at the former’s retreating back.

Skyler had spent ten years with him. He knew what the man was like. Their conversation seemed fine, but when Anna was mentioned, he was obviously a little too concerned.

Emotionally, Julian refused to believe that Skyler would betray him, but if he was actually that person... Julian's gaze turned dangerous.

Handing the company to him this time was Julian's test to Skyler.

'Skyler, I hope you remember my words. Don't disappoint me.’

His bait was already out. All he needed to do was wait and see if the fish would take it.

Leaving the Shaws, Skyler did not go back to the office. Instead, he found a secluded place and fished out a designated phone to call the only person available, repressing his excitement.

"Anything important? Didn’t I say not to simply contact me if there isn't anything big?" Joseph frowned when he picked up.

Anna's escape was a ticking time bomb. The mole, Skyler, was important to him. To prevent the latter from being suspected by Julian, Joseph had specifically asked Skyler not to contact him as much a s possible during this period of time.

After all, a mole that he had planted for over a decade was precious.

"Big news." Although there was no one around, Skyler subconsciously lowered his voice. "For the next half-year, Julian Shaw has passed full responsibility of the company to me in order to keep Susan Shelby company!"

"What?" Joseph’s eyes gleamed.

Skyler was his man. If Skyler got to manage Lanyard, did that not mean he could do whatever he wanted?

"It's true. I've already gotten the letter of appointment,” Skyler said in a hushed voice. "After all, both my dad and I have been following the two generations there. Julian Shaw still trusts me significantly. Other than m e, he has no better candidate."

"Good, good,” Joseph responded and began to pace around in his ecstasy.

The news was music to his ears. It was right to keep Susan and her child. All of Julian's attention was on them right now. If mishaps happened to Susan later, h e would break down even more.
