The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 373

"Susie!" The knife cut through Susan’s clothes, shocking Serenity as she halted her stab abruptly.

Serenity glared at Susan in rage. "Susie, move! Let me kill Julian Shaw!"

"No, you can't kill him." Susan was pale but she stood her ground.

"You..." Serenity looked at Susan, furious. "The ones who lay before you right now are your family. The murderer is right behind you, and yet you're protecting him? Susan, can you face Dad and Oliver?"

Susan paled even more as she shook uncontrollably.

Her father and brother died, their deaths planned by Julian. She could not forgive him, but when he was in the face of danger, it was her instinct to protect him.

"Serenity! I can’t do it! I can't watch him get hurt without doing anything." Susan looked at Serenity in despair.

"Susan, you!" Serenity lashed out. "You and Julian Shaw, both of you, get out! You don't deserve to stand i n front of Dad and Oliver. I don't want to see you both again."

"Serene..." Susan blanched, wanting to say more.

"Get out!" Serenity was already shouting.

Susan wanted to explain, anxious, but she was weak, i n addition to not having food in her system from being sedated for the whole day. It caused her vision t o black out. 1

Julian carried her immediately.

"Julian Shaw, put me down. Get out. I want to stay with Serenity." Susan struggled.

"Susie, let us go out first." Disregarding Susan, Julian carried her to the door. Before he left, he turned to

look at Serenity who was infuriated. There was a flash of thoughtfulness that gleamed in his eyes.

Did Serenity notice anything strange? Was she really upset or was she acting along with him, having caught up to the events? Julian had no answers to them, but this was the best that could happen.

Joseph had been watching them impassively. When Julian left hastily carrying Susan, he glanced toward Serenity expressionlessly.

"Dad, Oliver." Serenity was kneeled before the corpses, tears gushing out of her eyes.

Her cries were silent but it was always the soundless sobs that touched hearts.

With tears running down silently, Serenity’s lean form looked even thinner and frail. She staggered from the grief but her innate will pushed her to straighten up swiftly, preventing her from showing too much pain.

Joseph watched coldly in the beginning. Gradually, as he watched Serenity's willful yet delicate silhouette, his heart softened for some reason. Giving it a thought, he took off his jacket and draped it gently on her.

Serenity reacted violently to it. She flung the garment off and spat, "You get out as well!"

Joseph narrowed his eyes. "Do you know whose territory you’re in right now?"
