The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 294

Looking at Jacob’s aloof mien, Susan felt very much tickled.

Feeling the stare from his younger sister, Jacob checked himself. He was wearing his clothes correctly, so what was Susie laughing about!

Susan repressed her chuckles and said, "Let’s go."

The place Anna was locked in was not too far away from the mansion. Julian did not mistreat her, merely confining her in a simple suite. The amenities were comprehensive and her meals were sent on time. The only restriction was that Anna was not allowed to go out with someone specifically guarding the door.

From Julian’s grudges toward plants, this seemed to b e light-handed of him. It was also because his subconscious did not think that Anna was the mole they were looking for too.

Otherwise, he would not have locked Anna up and set up an elaborate trap to test Skyler.

There was already a bias in Julian's mind. It was just that psychologically, he was reluctant to accept the fact that it was Skyler.

The suite was not shabby at all, but Anna had still gone through the half-month in pain. It was not physical pain, but more of an emotional one. She kept recalling Jacob's hateful gaze the other day and was engulfed in inexplicable sorrow.

Jacob must have hated her.

If she had done it, she deserved it. She would not even fight it. Yet, she did nothing. She was even kidnapped and went through the trauma of it. If it had not been the martial art skills that her father and older brother had forced her to pick up, she would not even have made it out.

When she finally escaped, the first person to pop into her head was Jacob! With the delight of surviving the terror, she was, instead, welcomed by Jacob's doubt and hatred.

Once Anna remembered the scenario, she felt her eyes moistening.

"I can't cry!" She wiped her tears swiftly. "Dad said that the Wrights bleed but they do not cry."

In spite of it, the more she wiped her tears, the more wronged she felt.

Anna picked up a pen angrily and wrote on a piece of paper with unnecessarily powerful strokes.

"Stupid Jacob, stupid Jacob, stupid Jacob."

Gritting her teeth, Anna repeatedly wrote the same phrase. Her force tore the paper.

"How dare you accuse me of something I didn’t do! If I see you the next time, I'll..." She was going to make a vicious threat when the door suddenly opened.

"Mr. and Mrs. Shaw." The door was opened as the man guarding it let a few people in respectfully.

When Anna saw the trio, her gaze involuntarily went t o Jacob.

She could not help scoffing, "Mr. Shelby, have you finally realized that you've wronged me? I'll have you know that I have quite the temper. If you don't apologize properly, I won't forgive you."

Jacob narrowed his eyes. With a sneer, he responded," Wronged you? You’re quite the actress huh?"

"You - you..." Anna was enraged and sprang up." Who’s acting? You’re still wronging me!"

"Whoever’s acting will know," Jacob replied icily.

Looking at Jacob's impassive face, Anna lost it and screamed.

Ahh, this stupid man was annoying!

Observing their interaction, Susan was humored. Why did the two of them feel like a quarreling couple?

Taking in Anna's seething look, Susan told her with a smile, "Anna, there are three of us here and you only saw my brother?"

Anna was stunned for a moment before she noticed Julian and Susan.

"Mrs. Shaw." Anna noticed Susan's slightly bulging stomach when she looked at her and worry flashed in her eyes. "You’ve... decided?"
