The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 82

Susan did not seem to be lying, and Seth knew that Julian did keep a place in the corner of his heart for somebody. That person had been in his heart for a very long time, but Susan had just married him one year ago, so it was apparent that the person was not Susan.

When he thought about this, Seth's gaze was laced with sympathy when he looked at Susan once more.

She married a man who had another person in his heart. There was no woman in this world who could tolerate something like this.

"Besides, it's Madam Shaw who chased Jacob and me out. Madam Shaw thinks I'll drag the Shaws and Julian down if I continue to be the Shaw's daughter-in -law. I guess she will force Julian to divorce me soon," Susan continued in a leveled voice. "Since we're destined to be separated in the end, I guess it's better for us to stop seeing each other now."

After listening to what Susan said, Seth began to waver.

He knew Madam Shaw very well. She was a domineering woman, and she never allowed people to say no to her. Once she made up her mind, no one could make her change her decision anymore.

If Susan returned to the Shaws, Seth reckoned that she would not have a good time there either.

"I'll only continue after you agree to the first requirement. If you don't promise us, then we will leave now." As Jacob was talking, he had already risen to his feet.

"Hold on!" Seth grew anxious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you. I won't tell Julian that you guys are here."

It was only then that Jacob returned to his seat.

"Do you still have other requirements?" Seth asked, i

Pressing his lips into one line, Jacob spoke hesitantly as he did not know how Seth would react to the next thing that he wanted to say. "I’ll allow you to work with me to develop the system, but you have to give m e half a million within one year."

The reason why he wanted half a million from Seth was because he wanted to pay back the debt that he owned Madam Shaw.

He also wanted Madam Shaw to apologize to Susan.

"Half a million?" Seth was shocked.

"Jacob, this is too much," Susan was taken aback as well.

She did not know anything about coding or programming, but was a system really worth that much?

Jacob had no idea about the ins and outs of the market as well. He frowned. "Is that too much? Reduce it by half, then."

Seth did not know what to say. "Reduce it by half?"

"Yeah, 250 thousand dollars. I can't go any lower," Jacob said seriously.

Susan thought her brother had gone overboard when she saw the shocking expression on Seth's face. She hastily went forward and apologized, "I'm sorry, Seth. Jacob is not familiar with these kinds of things."

Seth rolled his eyes. Then, he said, "Well, I can see that even if you don't tell me. Seriously, you two should thank god that you are dealing with me. If you were dealing with other people, I'm 100% positive that you wouldn't know even if they were leading you up the garden path."

"Why?" Both Jacob and Susan asked in chorus, looking at Seth with dewy eyes. 1

Seth could not help but scratch his scalp when he saw their innocent eyes. "Ahhh! Can you two stop looking a t me like this? You guys are making me feel like I'm a big bad wolf trying to eat two little bunnies!" 1

The two little bunnies continued to look at him puzzledly.

Seth was completely defeated. He rolled his eyes and said, "Wait here. I’ll go draft up a simple contract."

The two little bunnies nodded obediently.

After half an hour, Seth returned with three contracts.

He handed them straight to Susan and said, "Here, help your brother have a look.”

"Okay," Susan took over the contract and started browsing through it.

The contract was about the cooperation between Seth and Jacob on the development of Jacob's system. Jacob would handle the core technology, while Seth, i n addition to the technological part, was also responsible for other things such as promotion and front-end investment. After the system was successfully developed, the revenue generated would b e split in a ratio of 6 to 4. Seth would take the 4 while Jacob would take the 6.

"Let me know if you see any issues," Seth said.
