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

Chapter 138 Deal With It

It was Luke. It was because of him that Madam Jenkins did not press charges against her. 1

Susan pressed her lips tight and she did not feel happy even after she solved the mystery.

"Susie, I just wish for you to give Charlotte another chance. After all, the Jenkins did not hold you accountable for my father's death," Luke implored.

"Don’t beg her for anything, Luke. This woman is a scum, I..."

"Shut up!" Before Charlotte could finish her sentence, Luke turned around and gave her a slap on her face.

Charlotte was stunned. She had never seen her brother so angry before. Her lips quivered, and she lamely swallowed her words back to her stomach pit.

Luke turned back and looked at Susan once more," Susie, please. I swear that this will be the last time."

Susan looked at him silently. She read the pain and plea in his eyes, and it was something new to her.

She bit her lower lips and turned to Julian, "Julian... Can you leave this to me?"

Julian frowned. "Susie, she will never get her act together. If we let her go, she might do something even worse next time."

"She won’t! I promise! I'll lock her up in the house after this. I'll never let her come out again,” Luke added.

"You can lock her up for all you want. You can shut her up in your house for two months or you can send her out of the country, I don't f*cking care. But the question is this: are you sure you can keep her in check for the rest of her life?" Julian sneered. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Luke gritted, "I’ll figure something out."

"What can you..."

Just when Julian was about to press on, he felt someone tug at his arm.

He turned around and looked at Susan, his eyes filled with questions. Gazing at him determinedly, Susan said, "Julian, can you let me handle it this time?"

His brows furrowed deeper, "Susie, I can let you handle it, but you must not be too lenient to her."

"Don’t worry," Susan Looked at Julian gratefully before turning to Luke who was gazing at her with expectant eyes.

She pressed her lips thin and said, "I can promise you. I won't press charges against Charlotte, but I have a few conditions."

"Absolutely. I'll promise you anything!" Luke's eyes sparkled.

"First," Susan continued, "You have to hand over her accomplice to me." 1

Luke accented without any hesitation, "Sure, I'll hand him to you.”

He would not utter a single word even if Susan wanted the person's life.

Susan had expected his answer. Then, she moved on," Second, I don't want to see her in front of me or Julian anymore. Otherwise, we have a witness on our hand, and we can still sue her at any time."

This was also the main reason she wanted Luke to hand over the accomplice to her. She could use him to keep Charlotte at bay.

"You want me to stay away from Julian? In your dreams, Susan Shelby, in your dreams!" Charlotte screamed.

Luke threw a stink gaze at her and then nodded straightaway. "Okay, I promise. She will not appear in front either of you anymore.”

Susan let out a sigh of relief before continuing, "That's it. After you hand the accomplice to Julian, you can leave with Charlotte."

"Okay," Luke answered without any qualm. Then, he went over to Charlotte and pulled her up from the ground.

"I’m not leaving, Luke! I'm not leaving!" She began to struggle with all of her might, "Let go of me! Julian, help me! Julian!"

Luke’s voice turned cold. "If I hear one more word out o f your mouth, forget about Julian. I'll send you to prison myself. Don't think that I won’t do it, Charlotte Jenkins.”

Charlotte's body shook. She gnashed her teeth and kept silent.

As Luke dragged his sister out, he turned around and said, "The accomplice is at the door. I'll leave him to you then, Mr. Shaw."

"Okay," Julian nodded slightly.

Luke nodded in return before pulling Charlotte out of the room.

After that, Julian called his men and tied up the accomplice.

Queeny was restless, like a cat on hot bricks as she was clueless of her destiny after seeing what happened to Charlotte.

Charlotte was a member of the Jenkins, a reputable family in Ningcheng City. Even she was not able to escape punishment given her high social status, let alone her, who was a nobody that worked in Lanyard Construction.

She dared not imagine anything.

"Can you let me handle her too, Julian?" Susan looked at Julian.

"Okay,” Julian nodded.

Putting on a smile, Susan walked up to Queeny and

said, “How about you buy me breakfast for a month?"

Queeny froze. She had already expected the worst, yet this was all she wanted from her?

Buy her breakfast for a month?

'Is she kidding with me?'

"You don't want to? How about half a month, then?" Susan pressed on.

"It's okay, it’s okay," Queeny finally came around and hastily said, "I wouldn’t say no even if you asked me to buy you breakfast for half a year or a year, let alone a month."

Susan was tickled pink by Queeny’s reply. She chuckled, "That’s a deal then."

Queeny fell silent as she looked at Susan. After a short bout of contemplation, she then mustered up the courage and said, "I'm sorry, Susie. I didn’t know it was going to get so bad..."

"Don't worry. It’s not your fault. You were just playing a prank on me. I understand," Susan comforted.

Queeny’s eyes turned red at Susan’s understanding. Just when she was about to say something, Julian chimed in, his voice thick with indignation, "Since Susie has already forgiven you, then why are you still here?"

Queeny was stunned for a brief moment, then she immediately came to her senses. She quickly said, "I’ll get out of here now. Mr. Shaw, I'll leave Susie to you.

Please take good care of her."

"Wait. Mr. Shaw and I..." Queeny had already left her sight before Susan could even finish her sentence. Stamping her feet, she turned and glared at Julian, who appeared calm and composed.

"Now everybody knows about our relationship! I can't hide it anymore!" Susan complained, pouting her mouth.

Julian harrumphed, "Woman, am I really that unpresentable?" 1

He had wanted to announce their relationship to the public a long time ago.

"You don't understand." Unlike Julian, Susan did not feel good about this. Once her relationship with Julian was exposed, her position in Lanyard would be different.

Lifting his brow, Julian dragged Susan into his embrace. He planted his head on her shoulder as he said in a hushed tone, "Susie, you're my wife. This is something we are bound to face. It's just that it came earlier."

"I understand Julian." His warm breath tickled her ear.

Julian's eyes constricted and his voice turned deeper," But you went easy on them."

Susan chuckled, "Although Queeny is fond of making sarcastic remarks, she is not a bad person. She was just playing a prank on me, and were it not for

Charlotte, all of this would not have happened. That's the reason why I went easy on her."

"Hmm?" Julian played with Susan's hair. Then, he whispered into her ear once more, "How about Charlotte then? She is trying to kill you."

"Don't do that, Julian. It tickles," Susan pushed Julian away, "She has evil intentions toward me, and of course I want her to get the punishment that she deserves. However, I felt sorry for the Jenkins due to the death of Richard Jenkins. Since it was Luke who helped me back then, I'm just repaying the favor."

Julian squinted his eyes, "If you owe Luke a favor, then how about me? Do you have any idea how many favors you owe me?"
