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

Chapter 337 Let Him Go

"Madam Wright, is there anything wrong?" Luna's expression looked weird, so Jacob could not help but look at himself in bemusement. However, there was nothing wrong with his body.

Luna sighed. "There is nothing wrong. I was only amazed by how fair God can be. After blessing you with a talent, He will inevitably deprive you of something else."

Jacob's intelligence quotient was definitely outstanding, but his emotional quotient...

It usually left those around him speechless.

Luna sighed suddenly, but Jacob did not get it at all. H e just stared at her in bewilderment.

"It's nothing. It's just a sudden fluctuation of emotions. Don’t mind me." Luna smiled. "Anyway, Jacob, thanks for the warning. I'll be more cautious from this day onward. As for the person behind the scenes, he will b e exposed sooner or later."

Swift and sheer coldness flashed through Luna's eyes as she spoke.

Jacob only nodded and did not say much.

As a matter of fact, Luna had always known more about politics than he ever had. He had reminded her o f all the details that he could’ve thought of, so he

should leave the rest to her.

The lights were dim.

Susan took a shower and lay on the bed comfortably.

The turmoil had finally subsided.

Although Julian had been asking her to stop worrying, how could she feel relieved before the results came out?

Fortunately, everything had finally come to an end temporarily.

"Julian, how did you get your hands on the recording?” Susan could not help but indulge her curiosity when the scene of the banquet came to her mind.

Previously, the situation had been very dangerous when Skyler Chantier had committed suicide.

If Julian had not presented the recording and revealed the scheme behind the whole incident, things would have still been dark and sinister.

"It was just a coincidence." Julian kept the explanation short.

Susan gave him a withering glare.

Julian brushed her hair and could not help but chuckle. "Come to think of it, it's actually quite simple. During the incident with Mandy Ainsley, Seth gave m e a monitoring program. It was Luke who helped install the program on Mandy's phone. Then, he installed a terminal on his phone to monitor Mandy. Ever since, the program had been uninstalled so it had slipped my mind.

"A few months earlier, Seth asked me for my phone. H e said he wanted to help me weed out some moles.

"I asked him to give me details, and he said that the listener had a backdoor program that could be restored secretly through some technical means. So long as Seth wanted to, the program in Luke's phone could be restored and could have a phone-monitoring effect.

"At first, I did not want to use such measures. After all, this is not a very righteous thing to do. 1

"However, after finding out that Skyler was a traitor, I got Seth to activate the monitoring device in Luke's phone."

Julian rubbed Susan’s hair with great care, while Susan's face was full of surprise. "So... you knew about their plans from the very beginning?"

Julian nodded with a smirk. "Joseph can't do anything by himself in Ningcheng City, so when he planned to move against Lanyard Construction, he had to ask for some help from the local tyrant, Jenkins Corporation. Once there was any activity, Luke would definitely be in the know. Sure enough, as soon as I left Ningcheng City, Joseph immediately approached Luke and asked him to act with him." "But they didn't know that all this was already under your control." Susan sighed and went silent.

Julian looked at her slightly creased brows and could not help but feel a little nervous. "Susie, do you think that I was too mean?"

Julian seemed to have misunderstood. Susan shook her head and let out a wry chuckle. "Why would I? I'm no saint. The most important thing to me is that everybody around me is safe and sound. If Luke hadn't plotted against us, you wouldn't have activated the device at all, so he had it coming." 1

"But you seem bothered."

An indescribable complex ray of emotion flashed through Susan's eyes. After a while, she replied softly," Julian, I'm not bothered. I just feel that... things are so ephemeral. How did Luke become what he is now?"

Susan felt a little blue deep down.

She and Luke, after all, had a wonderful past.

She knew Luke as a person.

He was gullible, but he was actually not a malicious man.

Now, he had ended up having to escape headlong. This fate of his made Susan feel a little emotional.

"He was blinded by the incident with Madam Jenkins," Julian explained faintly with a slightly jealous tone. "Susie, you’re still concerned about him."

Susan felt funny and gazed at him. Then, she said, "It's not that I care about him. I just feel that he shouldn't have done such a thing."

"People change." Julian already sounded more envious.

"You're right." Susan figured it out slowly.

Madam Jenkins had only herself to thank when it came to this incident. In Susan's opinion, both she and Julian should have a clear conscience.

If Luke wanted to retaliate against Lanyard Construction over this matter, they would have to fight back, right?

"Julian, no matter what, let Luke go if he falls into your hands one day." Susan spoke in her soft voice.

"You still have a thing for him, huh?" His jealousy was overflowing so much that it flooded the room.

"What are you thinking?" Susan shot him an irritated glare. "Have you forgotten? Although all the things that he has done were part of a scheme, if it had not been for Luke, our baby would've diedNôvelDrama.Org © content.

that night in the operating theater. I still owe him one for that incident. If we were to go into the details, you'd be the cause of that, wouldn't you?" 2

As she spoke of that incident, Susan's rage was rekindled once again.

That idiot Julian... If it hadn't been for Luke's break-in, he really would have aborted their baby.

Julian felt a little guilty when she mentioned this.

Although he'd had his reasons, he had still almost made a big mistake back then.

Julian coughed once and then said solemnly, "Okay. If Luke falls into my hands in the future, I'll let him go once. But Susie, we cannot just return his favor endlessly. If there is a second time, I won't show him mercy."

Susan nodded. "Just once. Do it for our baby and return the favor."

Julian nodded and caressed Susan’s tummy. "Let's not talk about him anymore. How's the baby been recently?"

A gentle smile unconsciously formed on Susan’s face." It just kicked me."

"Hey, you brat, how dare you kick your mother! I'll teach you a lesson when you arrive."

"Brat? What if it's a girl?"

In order to retain a sense of anticipation, they had asked the doctor not to reveal the gender of the baby. They would only announce it when the baby was born.

"What could I do if it's a girl? I could only forgive her," Julian responded.

Susan could not help but laugh. They had discussed many times already whether the baby in her tummy would be a boy or a girl. Susan did not care much, but Julian wanted a girl more. As he said, although boys were able to take a beating, what other pros were there to having a boy?

Uh... It would lead a pitiful life if it was a boy...
