The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 45

"I want to know if you ever loved me when we were together. I want to know if you took $100,000 from my mother when I was in a coma after the accident?" Luke was nervous from Susan’s gaze, but he still continued asking because he needed to know the truth.

Susan suddenly smiled, "Luke Jenkins, are you still asking stupid questions like these now? Love? If you're not the heir to the Jenkins Corporation, why would I want to be with you? We're all adults, so don't put so much hope on love. As for the $100,000, yes. When you were unconscious, I asked your mother for i t. Since you wanted to dump me, I needed some compensation for the times we had, so $100,000 isn't expensive at all.”

Since Madam Jenkins allowed Luke to look for her, she would have expected Susan to know how to answer. Therefore, she could only give him that answer especially because she did take the $100,000 and promised Madam Jenkins that she would never reveal the past to him.

Since she and Luke were destined to be fateless, she did not have to look for any trouble. She had to completely banish Luke’s hopes.

Luke had prepared himself for that but when he heard those words left Susan's lips, his pupils constricted!

"Susan Shelby, you are lying to me!" Luke’s voice trembled. The voice at the bottom of his heart told him that this was not the truth.

However, in reality, she said coldly, "Luke, this is the truth. You aren't young anymore. Just accept that this world is brutal."

"I don't believe it!" He gritted his teeth. "You're lying to me. All of you are lying to me."

Susan's heart ached a little at the sight of his reaction. 'Luke, you shouldn't have to look for any truth from the beginning. You have already missed what you missed, so you should embrace the future.'

Her voice grew harsher. "No, we didn’t lie to you.

You’re lying to yourself.”

"Susan Shelby!" He suddenly grabbed Susan's arm and looked at her in despair. "Tell me that you're not like that. Tell me!"

"Will you believe me if I told you?" Susan looked up at him.

He nodded then said with conviction, "As long as you say it, I’ll believe you." Although he did not have his past memories, there was a fatal attraction from this woman. As long as Susan denied, he would believe her. Even if Susan lied, he was willing to sacrifice it.

"Tell me that all of these are lies." Luke's eyes looked like they were begging her desperately.

Susan's heart trembled, but she still said coldly, "But the thing is, everything your mother said is true. I, Susan Shelby, am a greedy and cruel woman."

"Susan!" Luke grabbed her arm even tighter. "I don't...I don't believe you! I don't believe everything you said." Because he was too emotional, his grip became tighter and made Susan frown.

"Young Master Jenkins, how long are you planning to hold onto my wife?" Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.

Julian walked over with a blank face.

Luke was slightly taken aback and Susan freed herself from his grip.

Then, she walked to Julian. She held his arm and looked at Luke sarcastically. "Luke Jenkins, I advise you to stop bothering me. Julian can give me much more than you. I’ve been with you for 2 years and all I got was $100,000. With Julian, as long as I say I want money, I can have $100,000 over and over again! If you still have some dignity left within you, please stop bothering me!"
