All Chapters of The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

A jumpy voice rang out the moment Madam Shaw finished speaking. “Woah! What’s going on? Who’s getting hurt? Tell me! Tell me!” Everyone in the living room turned their heads in unison and looked at Seth. He was walking into the house with a wide grin plastered across his face. Seth blinked his eyes.He realized that something wasn’t right. ‘Did I come at the wrong time?’As the thought surfaced in Seth’s mind, he began to retreat. “Where do you think you are going? Did you bring the things I asked?” Jacob asked. “Uhh…” Seth bit the bullet and walked forward. “Yeah. They’re with me now. What are you going to do with them?”“Stop asking, and give me the check.” Jacob held out his arm. “I remember asking you to apply for a cash check with my savings account.”“Yeah, I did.” Seth felt the atmosphere wasn't right but still handed the cash check over to Jacob.Jacob detached a check, pulled out a pen, and began writing. Then, he pushed the check toward Madam Shaw and said

“What is this about, Jacob?” Susan asked, her eyes widened in shock."Allow me to answer that question for him.” Seth chimed in, “Not long after we signed the contract, your brother transferred the ownership of the shares to you. I guess he must’ve asked you to sign a few documents. It’s just that you didn’t realize anything.”Susan thought for a moment and remembered that her brother indeed had asked her to sign a few documents several months ago. During that time, Jacob told her that he needed her saving accounts information to loan some money since he and Seth were starting a company. Because of that, she signed the document without any hesitation. However, now that she thought about it, the documents weren’t loan documents. Instead, they were a share transfer agreement. If the shares were only worth about 500,000 dollars, Susan would gladly accept it. However, the thing was that the value of the shares transferred to her was worth several tens of billions."I can't accep

“Julian.”Just when Julian was at a loss, Susan’s soft voice wafted into his ear, prompting him to raise his head and look at her.“Susie, I…”“Let me talk to Mom,” Susan said calmly. “But…” Julian involuntarily put himself in between the two women.“Don’t worry.” Susan walked past Julian and went up to Madam Shaw. Seeing that Susan was walking toward her, Madam Shaw sneered, “Now what? Are you here to laugh at me?”“Mom.” Susan placed her hand gently over her stomach. “I didn’t know that I inherited a heart disease until recently. After knowing about it, I was devastated and I’ve struggled for an entire day and a night in the room. Now, I finally came to a conclusion.”“What conclusion did you come to?” Madam Shaw frowned.Jacob and Julian looked at Susan as well.“I’m going to keep the baby,” Susan announced calmly. “You…” Madam Shaw was stunned. According to the news that she received, the mortality rate was as high as 100% if Susan were to keep the baby. Set against

“No, Susie. I won't agree with you.” After a while, Julian replied through a hoarse voice, “I’m the father to the baby, so I've got the right to decide as well. I won’t let you keep the baby.”“Don’t force me, Julian.” Susan bit her lower lips. “If you take the baby away from me, I won't live. So you have only two options right now. Either the baby or you lose both of us. You make the call." Julian's hands began to shake uncontrollably. "Why must you do this to me, Susie?"A wisp of guilt flashed across Susan’s eyes. She then said blankly, “I don’t have another choice, Julian. I don’t have another choice.”Everyone wanted to abort the baby, and she was the only one her baby could rely on. She had to protect him at all cost. If the situation required her to save Julian with her own life, she’d do it without any hesitation. Susan knew it was a tough decision to make, and it clearly hurt him a lot. However, the pain she was going through was no less than him . She would never g

Julian had nearly pushed everything work-related off to keep Susan company, not leaving an inch away from her. When there were occasionally crucial matters that needed his decisions, he would make simple instructions over video conferences.Susan had tried to stop him several times, but Julian only said that as important as work was, nothing was currently more significant than keeping her company.She stopped her attempts then.She had been working hard to become a virtuous wife who was not clingy, but at this time, she allowed herself to be spoiled once. After all, this could very well be the last time she could be indulgent.Julian assigned all his work away. Madam Shaw was informed. If it had been the past, she would give Julian a good lecture about it, but this time, she only sighed without a comment.Susan was taking a nap in the bedroom. Julian stared at her for a while before giving her a soft kiss on the lips and left the room quietly. When he reached the door, he could no

Julian looked at Skyler with an unnerving small smile. “Relax. I don’t intend to blame you. It’s just that I don’t want this woman to die so easily. Let me vent on my own.”As he spoke, his expression darkened into a sinister look. “Susie’s more important than my life. I may have mercy on those who set me up but… to Susie, I’ll make them regret ever being born whoever it is.”Julian’s tone was stern and unyielding, chilling Skyler to his core, but he calmed down swiftly. The former was speaking about Anna, not him.“Anything done against the woman isn’t too much anyway,” Skyler chorused.Julian looked at him with a thoughtful gaze before replying with a chuckle, “It’s fine, you don’t have to worry about it. The company is yours for the next half a year. Don’t disappoint me.”“Yes, sir,” Skyler answered solemnly.“I’ve asked everyone else in the company to cooperate with you on your work. Go ahead and get to know the situation first. Remember to ask me if there’s anything you don’

Susan kept her eyes on Julian before she extended her hand to smooth out the crease between his brows.Julian grabbed her hand and smiled. “I don’t look gloomy, I just feel a little chilly. I’ll go get you another layer to put on.”Susan answered with a beam without exposing him. “Sure.” Turning around to head to the room, anguish swallowed Julian’s gaze at once, but when he came back with a jacket, he was smiling naturally.Draping the outerwear on Susan, he gently played with Susan’s hair. “Jacob’s discharge is timely. It’s almost the holiday. Let’s spend it together.”“Mm.” Susan nodded and glared at the man. “I was already married to you during the last holiday, but you left me at home. Julian Shaw, you should reflect on it.”Not expecting Susan to revisit an old topic, Julian grimaced and rubbed his nose. “Darling, I’ve done wrong.”“Good that you know.” Susan blinked as an idea popped up in her mind. “I’m punishing you to give me a massage at night!”“Are you sure it’s a

Looking at Jacob’s aloof mien, Susan felt very much tickled.Feeling the stare from his younger sister, Jacob checked himself. He was wearing his clothes correctly, so what was Susie laughing about!Susan repressed her chuckles and said, “Let’s go.” The place Anna was locked in was not too far away from the mansion. Julian did not mistreat her, merely confining her in a simple suite. The amenities were comprehensive and her meals were sent on time. The only restriction was that Anna was not allowed to go out with someone specifically guarding the door.From Julian’s grudges toward plants, this seemed to be light-handed of him. It was also because his subconscious did not think that Anna was the mole they were looking for too.Otherwise, he would not have locked Anna up and set up an elaborate trap to test Skyler.There was already a bias in Julian’s mind. It was just that psychologically, he was reluctant to accept the fact that it was Skyler.The suite was not shabby at all, b

“How would she dare to tell us her real identity?” Jacob scoffed. “If we find out about her, she won’t be able to deny a thing.”“You…” Anna was enraged. “Who’s trying to deny it? I have nothing to do with whoever Joseph and Luke are!”“Is that so? Tell us your real identity then. Otherwise, your conscience is just as guilty,” Jacob said faintly.It was the easiest method of reverse psychology but Jacob’s impassiveness was grating.Anna stomped her foot and spat, “What’s so hard about that? I’m proud of my family. I’m Anna Wright! As for my identity, the Wrights from Skyking City, have you guys heard of them?”“Who knows if you’re making things up? There are so many Wrights around. Who knows which Wright in Skyking City you are?” Jacob retorted.As if realizing something, Julian looked alarmed.He asked directly, “The Wrights of Skyking City? You mean, the Wright family?”There was a wash of pride on Anna’s face. “That’s the one! My father is George Wright and my older brother

“Ouch.” Anna snapped out of it with Oliver’s reminder and blushed instantly. Once she talked to Jacob, she forgot about everyone else.Oliver was rather surprised by Anna’s girlish mannerism. Looking at how she was acting, it was obvious that she was smitten. He could not help scrutinizing Jacob.Then, Oliver realized that he recognized the man.“You’re the developer of the SL System?” Oliver asked with interest.“Yes,” Jacob answered.“Hahaha!” Oliver looked both approving and admiring. “Good job! The system is our Canadian pride. And Joseph Shaw that fool, his sh*t-eating self was hilarious.”Oliver could not help cackling when he recalled the video.What he watched was obviously an internal circulated uncensored video, so he managed to catch a clear sight of Joseph’s embarrassment.“Oliver, Jacob’s amazing,” Anna said with a grin like she was sharing his pride.Oliver looked at Anna before looking at Jacob and made several nods. “Mm, not bad, quite the match.”“What are yo
