The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 368

Julian's eyes shrank as he shouted, "Joseph!"

Joseph raised his legs and the points of his feet landed on Susan's wrist in the nick of time.

The scissors in Susan's hand fell on the floor, and Julian heaved a sigh of relief.

Unwilling to give up, Susan pounced forward to pick the scissors up from the floor. However, Joseph was a tad faster than her. He grabbed her arm, clamping both her hands in his.

"Let go of me, Joseph!" Susan struggled for all her worth.

Unfortunately. Joseph was too strong. No matter how much she struggled, he would not budge.

"Susie!" Julian shouted sternly. "I'll still do this even if you hate me. Nothing matters more to me than your life. I promise you that after everything comes to an end, I'll give you and your family a good explanation. I'm fine if you guys want to take my life as well."

"Julian, do you think I could still live in a world like that?" Susan's eyes became bloodshot as she looked sadly at Julian.

"You will. Because Chessie needs you," Julian said in a hushed tone. "I know you very well, Susie. You won’t leave Chessie behind alone.”

"Julian..." Susan wanted to say something, but Julian had already turned to Joseph.

His eyes were cold as he said, “You can stop testing m e now, Joseph. I've already made up my mind. I will not go back on my word. As long as you can guarantee Susan’s safety, I'll hold up my end of the deal. I'll certainly send both George and Oliver to you."

Joseph chuckled. "You are overthinking, cousin. I was not testing you at all. I was just touched by the love between you and Susan, so I decided to let you guys talk before the plan begins."

"Hah..." Julian sneered. "Joseph, you're a smart person. I guess you don’t need me to remind you, but I’ll say it again. If something happens to Susie, even if I go to hell, I'll drag you down with me."

"Don't worry, cousin. I promise you I’ll return Susan to you in perfect condition," Joseph said earnestly.

"Julian, you can’t do this. You can’t do this..." Susan shouted.

Joseph hit the back of Susan’s neck lightly and knocked her out cold. Serenity hastily went forward and caught Susan before she fell on the floor.

"What are you doing, Joseph?" Julian said angrily, his heart pounding fast.

"Susan wants to kill herself, so this is the best way to keep her safe." Joseph smiled lightly. "I'll return her to you tomorrow personally. It's just that I'm curious about one thing. Considering Susan's behavior, I'm sure she will not forgive you for saving her this way. Are you really not afraid that she will hate you for the rest of her life?"

Julian fell silent. It was only after a long while that he began to talk again. "I just want her to live."

A mysterious smile crossed Joseph’s face. "You're indeed a devout lover."

"Are you sure about that, Julian?" Serenity asked through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing her question, Julian threw a sidelong glance at her and said, "You should thank me for saving you as well."

"I don’t need you..." Serenity said indignantly.

However, Julian interrupted her. "I still have some preparations to make. See you tomorrow, Joseph."

After saying that, he took one last look at Susan before hanging up the phone.

A smile appeared on Joseph's face. In order to keep Susan safe, he was certain that Julian would not mess around this time.

His heart relaxed a little.
