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

Chapter 379 Pawpaw Clark Vomits Blood

"Opps, I dare not, Daddy, I dare not," Serenity said with a laugh.

This incident was finally over, and everyone on the boat had a relieved smile on their faces. But something came to Susan's attention all of a sudden." Dad, your plan to fake your own death-did Mom know about it?" Oh crap! George's smile suddenly stiffened.

Susan blinked. "Dad, don’t tell me that you haven't told Mom yet?"

George started panicking, "I-I was so anxious about your condition that I-I forgot."

"Dad, you're so dead." Oliver stood up immediately, then moved a little further away from George, "You’d better call her now. If this drags on, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep that puny life of yours."

George sank into despair, and he stared blankly at Oliver. "Why don't you call your mother and explain what's going on here?"

"Dad, did you forget? Your eloquence is better than mine. This matter should be a piece of cake for you," Oliver replied sarcastically, but with a straight face.

George could not help but grit his teeth. That brat. He had never been so bright when it came to other matters.

Oliver was unwilling to take up the responsibility, so George could only do it himself. He stood up slowly, then took his cell phone out and called Luna.

The call had not been connected yet, but George had already rigidified, sitting there like a sculpture. And finally, the call went through.

Luna did not utter a word and George had already started babbling, "Hey Luna, it’s me, I'm fine, Ollie is too, we’re both still alive.”

Luna listened to the familiar voice coming from the other side of the phone, and tears started rolling down her cheeks instantly. She just cried and did not speak.

George could not help but feel anxious. "Don't cry, Luna."

"George Wright!” Luna's eyes were still all blurry, but her voice was ferocious. "You better explain this.”

George did not dare to hesitate and explained the matter in a snap. He then tried to please Luna by continuing his reasoning. "Luna, we're not hiding it from you. However, the more secretive the plan is, the less risky it gets. Plus, you'd provide the most realistic reaction when you get the news about our death if you had no idea about the plan. Only with that would we b e able to fool the person behind the scenes.” 1

"With that being said, Susie and Serene were both rescued?" Luna asked.

"Yes, they’re right beside me now." George could not help but report.

"Put them on loudspeaker! I want to speak to them," Luna ordered directly.

George did so obediently, and Luna talked to her daughters caringly. After that, George took over the call and was about to continue talking. However, Luna hung up the call directly.

With that abrupt end, George was muddle-headed. He listened to the busy tone on the phone, and then stared at everybody else hopelessly. "Please tell me... Did your mother press the hang-up button accidentally?" The others gave him a perplexed expression.

Oliver patted George on the shoulder with a sigh, "Dad, you have another day to think about how you are going to extinguish the forest fire."

"But I-I have difficulties. Plus, you participated in the plan too!" George looked at Oliver helplessly, as if he was trying to involve him in the matter.

Oliver moved further away at once. "Dad, all of us know that you have your difficulties. We also know that you had no other choice. However, Mom’s wrath has to be borne by someone. I'm her son, so she won't d o anything to me."

"I'm her husband. Do you think she’ll be willing to..." George’s voice became lower and lower, and he ended up sinking into despair in the end.

Why would he sound so diffident? Luna might be exceptionally gentle in front of the kids, but when it came to him, she was always very domineering.

"Ollie, you really don't plan to lend me a hand here?” George stared at Oliver miserably while the latter turned away quietly.

George then looked at the others.

Julian was focusing on feeding Susan a second bowl o f porridge, and Serenity was gazing at them solemnly. Nobody dared to look face to face at him. At that moment, three words kept on appearing in George's mind: "I am dead!"

Luna hung up the phone, and her tears went from rolling to gushing, and a smile appeared on her face.

They were fine, they were all fine. The sky that had been overcast for several days was completely cleared at that moment.

"What's wrong, Mom?" Anna wiped Luna's tears bemusedly.

Luna grabbed her at her wrist. "Anna, your father, and brother, they're fine, and they got Susie and Serene out safely."

"Really?" Anna's eyes lit up immediately.

Luna nodded tearfully and gave Anna a brief explanation of the whole story.

While the mother and daughter were happily conversing, a stern, sharp ray beamed through the eyes of Pawpaw Clark who was next to them. The

hand holding his cane started to tremble a little.

George and Oliver were fine? How was this possible? Which part of his plan went wrong?

When Luna elaborated the whole process in detail to Anna, his face turned even bleaker.

The plan he carefully devised was resolved just like this?

Julian Shaw! He had truly underestimated that man!

Anna turned over and saw Pawpaw Clark's long face. She could not help but feel worried and asked," Grandpa Clark? Are you feeling okay? Your face looks pale."

Pawpaw Clark's was all tormented deep down, but he still had to give off a gratifying smile on the surface." Nah, I'm just too happy." From NôvelDrama.Org.

Anna patted him on the back and said with a grin," Don't you get too full of beans Grandpa, Dad and the others should be back by tomorrow.” Pawpaw Clark could only maintain his smile.

Not long after George's call back home, the footage of Oliver and his team rescuing the hostages began spreading rapidly on the Internet. In the video, both parties looked blurry, but the characters could still be recognized from their faint adumbrations.

While listening to Joseph being referred to as the antagonist of the incident, and the media saying that the government will remove this tumor on behalf of the overseas alliance, Luna could not help but laugh.

'Such a detrimental trick, it must be Julian.’

They all knew that the overseas alliances were the force supporting Joseph from behind the scenes, but ordinary people would not know about that. With Julian's plan, the overseas alliances would have to demolish the base that they had worked so hard to build, all that just to maintain their reputation.

"Hahaha, they’ve gained nothing, but lost everything, they deserve it," Anna proclaimed cheerfully.

Pawpaw Clark stared at the footage broadcasted by the TV, while he suddenly felt a metallic stench in his mouth. He then vomited blood.
