The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 62

After breakfast, Julian grabbed the coat and prepared t o head out. He told Susan, "I'll help you ask for a leave for a few days from the company. Remember not to go to work for the time being. The Jenkins family would b e home from Bali by now. We'll have another hard battle to face later on. Don't panic when the time comes. You're not alone. You're my wife, and I won't ever allow them to ruin our family’s reputation. You must never tell anybody about the case. Do you understand that?"

"Yes,” Susan replied obediently.

However, there was an unknown feeling in her heart.

In fact, the reason Julian tried his best to help her was mainly because of the Shaw family's reputation. She thought so.

"Good. Stay at home. I'll get to work first." Julian left.

Susan looked at him as he disappeared from her sight. She was slightly upset.

"Susie, are you unhappy?" Susan did not know when Jacob came to stand beside her. He tilted his head and looked at Susan, slightly worried.

Jacob was so observant that it rather surprised Susan. She forced a smile. "No. I'm quite happy. See, I'm smiling now."

Jacob fixed his eyes at her. Then, he stretched his hand out and pinched the corner of her mouth.

"It hurts, brother. You're bullying me.” Susan looked at him blamingly.

"Your smile is ugly. You look better if you don't smile," Jacob said calmly. Then, he turned around and returned to sit before his computer.

"Is it? Brother, how could you say that about your younger sister?" Susan ran after him immediately.

But Jacob had started writing code which was alien to Susan.

Susan looked at Jacob's swift movements as he was typing on the keyboard with his fingers. She started to calm down gradually.

She looked at Jacob's exquisite face beside him and hesitated for a short while. She asked, "Brother, if...I murdered somebody, would you think that I'm a villain?"

"Susie will never kill anybody,” Jacob said resolutely.

"What if I really killed somebody?” Susan asked him again.

Jacob looked at Susan. After a long while, he replied," Even if it was true, you were forced to do so. You're never a villain.”

Jacob had full confidence in her.

That kind of trust gave Susan great courage.

Susan grabbed Jacob's hand. Suddenly, she broke into a smile. "Brother, thank you.”

Jacob tilted his head and looked at Susan. He seemed not to understand why Susan thanked him in the first place.

But Susan felt that she was relieved because of that.

The incident concerning Richard had happened. So she could only face it directly.

She believed that the laws would give her the fairest verdict. And she could only accept the result calmly.

By the way, she would always have her family with her no matter how the incident turned out.

At Lanyard Construction, Julian stood before the large French windows and made a phone call calmly.

"Hey, CEO Shaw, didn't you straighten up and decide t o lead a respectable life now? Why did you think of calling me given that I'm one of your bad friends?" He heard a reckless voice at the other end of the phone.

"Where are you? It's noisy!" Julian frowned slightly.

"Certainly. I'm at the bar. Wait, I'll walk out of the bar."

After a short while, the noise disappeared. He asked Julian lazily, "Spill it. What happened?"

"Do me a favor. I want to investigate a person. You're a n expert in a field like this." "Who?"
