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

Chapter 368 The Third Day

Julian's eyes shrank as he shouted, "Joseph!"

Joseph raised his legs and the points of his feet landed on Susan's wrist in the nick of time.

The scissors in Susan's hand fell on the floor, and Julian heaved a sigh of relief.

Unwilling to give up, Susan pounced forward to pick the scissors up from the floor. However, Joseph was a tad faster than her. He grabbed her arm, clamping both her hands in his.

"Let go of me, Joseph!" Susan struggled for all her worth.

Unfortunately. Joseph was too strong. No matter how much she struggled, he would not budge.

"Susie!" Julian shouted sternly. "I'll still do this even if you hate me. Nothing matters more to me than your life. I promise you that after everything comes to an end, I'll give you and your family a good explanation. I'm fine if you guys want to take my life as well."

"Julian, do you think I could still live in a world like that?" Susan's eyes became bloodshot as she looked sadly at Julian.

"You will. Because Chessie needs you," Julian said in a hushed tone. "I know you very well, Susie. You won’t leave Chessie behind alone.”

"Julian..." Susan wanted to say something, but Julian had already turned to Joseph.

His eyes were cold as he said, “You can stop testing m e now, Joseph. I've already made up my mind. I will not go back on my word. As long as you can guarantee Susan’s safety, I'll hold up my end of the deal. I'll certainly send both George and Oliver to you."

Joseph chuckled. "You are overthinking, cousin. I was not testing you at all. I was just touched by the love between you and Susan, so I decided to let you guys talk before the plan begins."

"Hah..." Julian sneered. "Joseph, you're a smart person. I guess you don’t need me to remind you, but I’ll say it again. If something happens to Susie, even if I go to hell, I'll drag you down with me."

"Don't worry, cousin. I promise you I’ll return Susan to you in perfect condition," Joseph said earnestly.

"Julian, you can’t do this. You can’t do this..." Susan shouted.

Joseph hit the back of Susan’s neck lightly and knocked her out cold. Serenity hastily went forward and caught Susan before she fell on the floor.

"What are you doing, Joseph?" Julian said angrily, his heart pounding fast.

"Susan wants to kill herself, so this is the best way to keep her safe." Joseph smiled lightly. "I'll return her to you tomorrow personally. It's just that I'm curious about one thing. Considering Susan's behavior, I'm sure she will not forgive you for saving her this way. Are you really not afraid that she will hate you for the rest of her life?"

Julian fell silent. It was only after a long while that he began to talk again. "I just want her to live."

A mysterious smile crossed Joseph’s face. "You're indeed a devout lover."

"Are you sure about that, Julian?" Serenity asked through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing her question, Julian threw a sidelong glance at her and said, "You should thank me for saving you as well."

"I don’t need you..." Serenity said indignantly.

However, Julian interrupted her. "I still have some preparations to make. See you tomorrow, Joseph."

After saying that, he took one last look at Susan before hanging up the phone.

A smile appeared on Joseph's face. In order to keep Susan safe, he was certain that Julian would not mess around this time.

His heart relaxed a little.

After Marshal Wright and Oliver died, he would get the batch of medicine and his crew would hang on for three more months.

It was just that there would still be three more months after this time. Then, another three months, and another, and another. There was no way he could break free from the man's control in his entire life.

"What exactly do you want, Joseph?” Serenity stared a t him. Her beautiful eyes were angry. "Have you forgotten that you're a Canadian too? How are you going to answer to the blood that flows in you for committing a crime like that?"

Joseph looked at Serenity and a smile suddenly blossomed on his face.

Before Serenity could interpret his smile, she felt pain at the back of her neck and fell unconscious too.

"Much easier," Joseph mumbled as he looked at the two girls. Then, he found somebody to inject tranquilizer into them.

They would not wake up in the next 24 hours.

After 24 hours, he would not have to take care of them anymore.

The next morning, Julian boarded the plane with Marshal Wright. After he had taken care of everything, he told them that he did not feel very well and got down from the plane.

Standing at the airport, he looked expressionlessly as the plane departed. Then, he called Joseph.

"The plane has already departed. It will arrive at the coordinates I mentioned in 13 hours. The bomb will detonate at the same time. If Marshal Wright survives the explosion, he will land in the sea by using a parachute. You just need to have your men ready on the spot to take him out. I think it will be a piece of cake for you, right?" Julian said coldly.

Joseph narrowed his eyes. "Don't worry. If your coordinates are accurate, then everything will be fine."

"Very good," Julian replied sternly. "I'll use another route. I will be faster than Oliver, so I guess I’ll arrive about 30 minutes earlier than them. I hope we can meet up then. After Marshal Wright arrives, you have t o return both Susan and Serenity to me."

"You have to come alone. After we confirm that Marshal Wright is dead, you will take them away." Joseph squinted.

"Okay. I’ll depart right now," Julian said simply.

"Has Julian made all the preparations?" a middle-aged man asked, looking at Joseph with a smile. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Yes," Joseph replied respectfully. "He has already installed the bomb in the plane, and the plane will arrive at the designated spot in 13 hours. I agreed to meet him 30 minutes earlier. After we kill Marshal Wright and Oliver, he can take Susan and Serenity away."

"Very good. Don't worry. If everything goes smoothly, the batch of medicine will arrive by air 30 minutes later." The middle-aged man nodded in content.

"Thank you, Mr. Samael," Joseph replied thankfully. Then, he said carefully, "Actually, Susan is Julian's weakest spot. Therefore, why not keep Susan and have him do more of our bidding? Now that everything is settled, Julian can't do anything to us if we refuse to let Susan go."

The man called Samael smiled. Then, he said, "You don't have to worry about these things. Since I'm here, you can hand this matter over to me. That person has everything planned out. I'm in charge of the execution, while you will be helping me from the sidelines. Got i t?”

'That person...'

Joseph’s expression changed.

When he thought about the mysterious man whose name he did not even know, Joseph’s heart tightened.

That person seemed to have countless resources. It was exactly because of him that things had developed to this stage.

Joseph knew that he had been targeting the Wrights all along, but it now appeared to him that his final goal was to topple the entire country.

"Understood," Joseph answered solemnly.

"I'll be tagging along this time. I need to make sure that George and Oliver are truly dead," Mr. Samael said.
