The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 74

At the Jenkins family.

All that was left was a terrible scene after Julian took Susan with him and left.

Mandy enjoyed Susan’s misfortunes. She looked toward where they had left. "This time around, I just want to see how that b*itch suffers.”

"That's enough." Luke interrupted her coldly. "I told you never to condemn Susan like that.”

Mandy was stunned for a short while. She soon became angry. "Luke, what do you mean? I'm your wife now, but she's just a murderer who killed dad. How could you defend her even now? Who are you siding with?" i

Luke did not want to answer her questions. He had a serious expression on his face, "Charlotte, come with me for a while."

"Why?" Charlotte was slightly guilty. "Me? There's no need for that.”

"Come with me now!" Luke was stern.

Charlotte was frightened. She looked toward Madam Jenkins, asking for her help.

Madam Jenkins grabbed Charlotte's hand and said," Luke, what’s wrong? Your sister is timid. Don't you scare her."

Luke sounded cold and distant. "Charlotte, I just want t o protect your reputation, so I asked you to come and talk with me alone. Do you really want me to talk about it here?”

"I..." Charlotte was slightly nervous.

"If that's the case, I'll do as you wish," Luke said calmly. Then, he walked toward Charlotte and looked a t her calmly.

"Let me ask you. Why did Susan come to our house? Why would she come to my room? Who drugged her? A s luck would have it, why was Madam Shaw here, paying us a visit?"

The more Luke interrogated her, the more anxious Charlotte became. She gritted her teeth and looked at Luke pitifully. "Brother, are you doubting me now? Do you believe the lies that woman told you? I did indeed call her because I don't want to see her enjoying her life. So I called and gave her a terrible scolding! I didn’t ask her to come to our house. I didn’t let her seduce you!”

"Is that so?” Luke still remained unmoved by what she said. "Charlotte, can you believe what you said? If nobody brought Susan here, how did she come into our house? Why was the door of the bedroom locked the minute she entered the room? Did Susan herself plan everything out?"

Charlotte tried her best to think of something. "Maybe she has a spy here."

Luke smiled coldly. "Then what's her purpose in doing so?"

"Certainly, she wanted to seduce you."

Luke was filled with deep disappointment. "Charlotte, you’re still reluctant to tell me the truth up until now! I f she wanted to seduce me, she wouldn't have to use such a tactic."

For him, Susan was an irresistible drug. If Susan did want to seduce him, she did not have to do much.

"Luke, what do you mean?" Mandy soon became displeased.

"Luke, don’t you accuse your younger sister wrongly.” Madam Jenkins spoke calmly.

Luke looked at his stubborn wife, his guilty sister, and his mother who pretended to be just. Suddenly, he was engulfed in deep exhaustion.

He rubbed his temples. "I don't want to say anything more now. It’s fine even if I don’t hold anyone responsible for this. But you need to think properly now. How could you make Julian let it pass? Now, please leave. My head hurts."

“A headache? Are you sick again?" Madam Jenkins could not help but become nervous.

Luke still had the scars which he got from the car accident. Besides, Richard was born with a headache. Although Luke seemed to not have inherited that from his father, Madam Shaw was still anxious about it.

"I would feel much better if you leave now," Luke said blankly.

"Good. We'll leave now," Madam Jenkins replied.

Charlotte became nervous the minute they left the room. "Mom, brother was right. What do you think? Will Julian really..."
