The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 90

Julian turned around and stormed away.

Susan looked at his back with a bewildered expression. She had a hunch that Julian was angry. Was it because she mentioned Luke? But she would not mention anything about Luke if he did not ask.

"What a petty man,” Susan mumbled.

The Jenkins Mansion.

"Mom, are we really going to let that person come out and clear Susan Shelby's name?” Charlotte said reluctantly.

A dark expression flitted across Madam Jenkins' face. "I have no idea what gets into Luke. I don’t know what is so good about that woman that Luke’s willing to go t o such an extent just to protect her.”

"Maybe some women are born as seductresses," Charlotte said through gritted teeth.

"I’ve underestimated her,” Madam Jenkins said with furrowed brows, "Let's wait for a little longer. I don't believe that your brother would actually soil the image of the Jenkins and the Shaws just because of a woman. Let's play it by ear."

By the time Madam Jenkins finished talking, Luke walked into the house.

"I've seen the post," he said simply, "Mom, Charlotte, I hope you two won't make things hard for Susie anymore."

'The post was already online?'

Madam Jenkins and Charlotte exchanged glances, and both of them could see the perplexity in each other's eyes.

"Is anything wrong?” Luke frowned slightly.

"Nope,” Madam Jenkins’s eyes glinted. Then, she gave Luke a smile and continued, "I’m just surprised that the person was rather quick."

Luke then continued expressionlessly, "I hope you can keep your promise and stop making things hot for Susan. I know that you thought you were doing Madam Shaw a favor by not exposing Susan's identity as Julian Shaw's wife. In this way, not only would you not offend the Shaws, but you can also make Madam Shaw hate Susan even more. I have to admit that it is quite a brilliant move, and it would’ve worked if you were dealing with other people. However, your opponent is Madam Shaw. She has been a successful businesswoman for many years, so do you really think that she could not see through it? Although she hates Susan right now, I guess she wouldn't have a good impression of us either after knowing that we're the ones pulling the strings."

After that, he turned to look at Charlotte and said, "Do you think Madam Shaw will give Charlotte a chance even after Julian Shaw divorces Susan? Think for yourself."

With that, he turned around and left, leaving the gobsmacked Madam Jenkins behind.

"Mom, Luke seems to have a point. What should we do now?" Charlotte gazed anxiously at Madam Shaw.

Madam Shaw's countenance was rigid. All of her plans had been going very smoothly lately, and her confidence swelled up to the point that she felt she was a genius after she had successfully framed Susan for Richard Jenkins’ death.

Ever since Madam Shaw handed the Shaw Corporation to Julian, she rarely appeared before the public and she stayed in her mansion most of the time just like any other ordinary gentlewomen would do. Madam Jenkins had almost forgotten that Madam Shaw was also once the leader of the Shaw Corporation.

Although the Shaw Corporation was not powerful now as it was during that time, at the absolute minimum, the Shaws did not go backward under her lead, and that was more than enough to prove her capability.

Would a woman like her not see through their trick? Just like what Luke had said, even though she loathed Susan, she would not have a good impression on them either. In this way, Madam Jenkins was certain that Madam Shaw would not allow Charlotte to become her daughter-in-law.

"Don't panic, Charlotte," Madam Jenkins said firmly,"

Even if we offended the Shaws, it'll be temporary.

There are no eternal rivals in business since profit has the final say. As long as we propose to them with some profit, I'm sure it’ll be enough to quench Madam Shaw's anger.”

Madam Jenkins's calm-headedness put Charlotte at ease. A grin spread across her face as she said, "That’s good then."

"The most important thing right now is how we should get rid of Susan once and for all. It seems like whatever we’re doing is not enough, so I plan to..." A dark glint flashed across Madam Jenkins' eyes. Both o f them put their heads closer and began cooking up some evil plans again.
