The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 563

I’m pregnant!

Susan’s back stiffened.

She jerked her head around to stare at Willa. All her assumed calmness was gone, and surges of intense emotions flitted across her eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" Susan growled.

She could understand Willa's sentence, but her brain refused to work at that moment. She understood every meaning of the word in the sentence, but when Willa put them together, she was confused.

A faint triumphant grin crossed Willa’s lips when she saw the crack in Susan’s calm facade.

Wills then continued in a soft voice, "I'm pregnant, Susie. It's Julian's baby. I have checked with the doctor. It's a boy. Madam Shaw is happy as well."

'She is pregnant, and it’s Julian's baby!'

Susan's brain turned into a mushed mess.

When she decided to return to Skyking City, she thought she had prepared herself for everything. Little did she expect that her blood still ran cold when she heard of the news. It temporarily exceeded her level of acceptance and she could not come around to her senses.

For a moment, Susan stood frozen, her arms slowly turning cold.

With a smile tugging at the corner of her lips, Willa looked at Susan's ashen face and continued softly, "After this baby is born, he will be the sole heir of the Shaws. He will inherit everything of the Shaws, but don’t worry, Susie. Even though Chessie is a girl, Julian wouldn’t be so heartless. I'm certain he'll leave something for her. As for the adopted kid, although he doesn't have the right of succession, I suppose we can work something out with him. Perhaps we can give him a job?"

Willa's tone was slow and mild, and she spoke as if she was already the mistress of the Shaws.

Susan suddenly came to a realization. A smile slowly formed at the tips of her lips as she said, "It seems that you've planned quite far ahead."

Willa then replied in a soft voice, "Susie, it's not good for Julian if he doesn't have a son. Now that he finally has a son, you should feel happy for him if you love him.”

Susan's smile broadened looking at the artificial smile on Willa's face.

On the other side, Willa was alarmed by Susan’s strange reaction.

’Has she gone mad? What is she smiling at?'

"Willa," Susan said flatly, "There are two things that you have to know. First, I'm Mrs. Shaw, while you are just a worthless concubine whose name cannot be mentioned in the public. Without my consent, you can never marry into the Shaws even if you bear Julian's kid.

Second, all assets of the Shaws, including the shares of StarTech, are under my name. I'm afraid that I have more say in who can or will inherit the Shaws' fortune."

Willa was stunned as disbelief crossed her eyes.

'What? StarTech's shares, all the Shaws' properties are under Susan's name? Julian Shaw... Did he really love this woman so much that he did things to this extent?’

Forcing down the surge of jealousy, Willa snarled out loud, "You can't be so selfish, Susan. Everything that belongs to Julian will be passed down to the child in my stomach. This is also Julian's wish. If you really love him, you should fulfill his wish."

Susan could not help but let out a laugh.

If it were in the past, she would've returned everything to Julian impulsively, but unfortunately, she was no longer who she used to be.

She did not want anything from Julian, but she was not going to give it to Willa and the baby in her stomach either. Besides, even if she did not want it, Chesney and Lucas had every right to receive the Straws' assets.

"I suggest you drop the thought if you think reverse psychology is going to work on me." Susan sneered, "I'll never give away what should belong to me and my kids. You just have to remember one thing. Without my consent, the baby inside of your stomach will only, and always be a... b* st*rd."

Willa's expression changed as she shot up from the chair. She grabbed Susan's arm in a state of emotional haste. "Susan, you evil woman..."

A hint of annoyance fitted across Susan's eyes.

She did not know how Willa, a homewrecker, got the courage to say she was an evil woman while she was the one who attempted to use her baby as the bargaining chip to force her to give away the title of Mrs. Shaw.

"Let go of me right now," Susan growled coldly.

A dark glint crossed Willa's eyes as she pitched her voice low and said, "Susan, Julian doesn't love you anymore. Why are you still hogging things that don't belong to you?"

"That is none of your business!" Susan snarled as she flung her arm.
