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

Chapter 448 Something Bad Is Happening At StarTech

Luna scoffed coldly. "It’s up to you whether you want to do it or not. After all, you have three days to think about it yourself. After three days, the verdict will be out. When that happens, there’s nothing that can be done anymore."

Then, Luna and Susan turned around and attempted to leave.

Panic flashed in Madam Shaw’s eyes when she saw the two of them leaving.

She did not say anything until they were about to disappear from her sight. As if she had made up her mind, she gritted her teeth and said, "I... I'll do it." NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

She was willing to put up with everything a s long as she did not have to go to jail.

Turning around, Luna looked at Madam Shaw as a triumphant grin spread across her face. "Then you better be fast.

Remember to finish this in three days. Otherwise, even God will not be able to save you."

Upon saying that, she pulled Susan and the two of them left together.

Madam Shaw kept her eyes trained on their backs. Her gaze was filled with anger. After a long while, she began to curse frantically.

In the end, she could only throw herself helplessly back on the bed.

After a long time, the people in the Public Security Bureau brought her a pen and a recorder.

Madam Shaw took the pen with difficulty. It was easier to write the line than speak it. Thus, Madam Shaw chose to get the writing done first.

It took her half a day to finish the writing part.

After that, it was time for the oral part...

Although she was holding the recorder, it took Madam Shaw a long time to psych herself up before opening her mouth.

"I should not make things difficult for Susan. I am a wretched and despicable person."

"I should not make things difficult for Susan. I am a wretched and despicable person."

Madam Shaw repeated the line again and again through gritted teeth. The entire confinement room was filled with her resentful voice.

Luna had given her three days, but Madam Shaw finished the two conditions on the same day. Therefore, Luna kept her promise and released Madam Shaw.

Julian was waiting for Madam Shaw in front of the entrance.

"Julian!" Gone was the elegant and graceful Madam Shaw. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was haggard. The moment she saw Julian, her eyes glowed brightly as she went up to him and started complaining. "Susan, that b*tch...”

"Mom." Julian interrupted her. "The case hasn't passed the litigation period yet. If you say something that you should not and infuriate the Wrights again..."

Madam Shaw was scared of the Wrights now. She thus relapsed into silence after Julian said that.

Susan glanced through the copy and listened to the recording. Then, she stashed both things away.

Since they were not going to see each other anymore, those things held little importance to her.

Susan and Chessie continued to stay with the Wrights peacefully.

Chesney had been happy when she had first come to her grandmother's house, but after a few days, she had begun to search for her father.

Susan could not explain to her what a divorce was, so she could only tell her daughter that she would be staying in her grandmother's house because she had something to do. She also told her daughter that if she wanted to see her father, she could go and stay with him for a few days.

Julian had taken Chesney out several times. However, Susan would not appear every time he came to get Chesney.

Likewise, when she went to pick Chesney u p, Julian would not show up.

Even though they did not talk to each other, they had come to this consensus together.

Time flew by rapidly.

One day, while Susan was reading the newspaper, she saw a title that shocked her to the core.

"StarTech is on the verge of breaking apart."

'Startech?'

Susan had never been interested in financial news. It was just that the newspaper had been right beside her, so she had just picked it up and read it.

When she saw this was something related t o Startech, she continued to read.

After she finished reading the report, surprise flashed across her eyes.

According to the newspaper, Seth and Jacob were dissatisfied with how Julian ran the company. As a result, the two of them had joined forces and left Startech along with the core technology and the patent rights of the SL system. They even said that they wanted to set up a new company.

Julian, Jacob, and Seth were the core members of Startech.

Without Jacob's extraordinary talent, there would not be an SL system. Without Seth's amazing social skills, Startech would not have found its footing in the market so soon. Without Julian's superb management skills, Startech would never have been able to dominate Canada and go global in just a few years.

They were like the three musketeers. They could not leave each other. However, Seth and Jacob were leaving Julian right now. They had even taken the core technology o f the SL system with them. Susan was certain that Julian was in a difficult position right now.

She could not help taking a look at the photo in the newspaper. In the photo, Julian looked haggard. He did not look as confident as he had before.

Even though she had already cut ties with Julian, a pang of pain shot through Susan's heart when she saw his current condition.

She bit her lower lip and called Jacob after deep contemplation.

"Jacob, I read the news today..."

Before Susan could finish her sentence, Jacob chimed in, "You already saw it? Don’t worry, Susie. I'll certainly make Julian pay for everything that he did to you."

Susan was stunned. "You... You are doing this for me?"

"Of course,” Jacob said matter-of-factly. " I'm the developer of the SL system, and there are a lot more people who want to work with me. You are the reason I was working with Julian. Since he dared to do such terrible things to you, why should I continue to work with him? Seth is on your side as well. Therefore, you don't have to worry about us, Susie. The two of us joined forces, so Julian will soon get what he deserves."

Susan became nervous. "I’m fine, Jacob.

You don't have to do this. Even though there are a lot of people who want to work with you, only Julian could make the system known across the world. Jacob, you have to think twice about this."

"He dared to bully my only sister, so he must pay the price. There is no need to think it over anymore. Susie, I don’t care if my system will be known across the world or not and I don't need to earn so much money as long as I have enough to spend. Don’t worry about us, Susie. I'll make Julian pay for everything he did to you. I have something to do right now, so I have to hang up. Bye, Susie."

"Jacob..." Susan wanted to say something more, but Jacob did not give her the chance. He hung up the phone without any hesitation.

Left with no other options, Susan called

Seth.

The things Seth said were similar to what Jacob had said. He was taking revenge for her as well.

After she hung up, Susan bit her lower lip and stared at Julian's weary face.

She did not know why this was happening.

Even though she had left Julian, she had never wanted to take everything from him. She could not fathom why Jacob and Seth would be so hellbent on avenging her...

'No, I must stop them.'

Susan went to find Jacob and Seth, but both of them had left Sky king City. She did not know where they had gone. They refused to answer her calls and did not reply to her emails.

At the same time, the issue regarding

Startech was still making headlines.
