Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

Susan had to do what she had to for her son. There was no way on earth that anyone would come and take Mathew’s bride away.

“Here.” She raised the file in her hand mid-air.

“Here’s the contract signed by both families of the Andrew and the Thompson. The marriage contract is already stamped! The first daughter of the Thompson family is now the wife of our son.” Susan Andrew summoned all the courage she had left and spoke.

A few moments passed by, and no one said a word. If a pin dropped at that moment, the sound of it would be heard miles away.

The statue-like figure simply continued staring at the woman before him as if she was an irrelevant nobody, uttering no word at all.

Just when Susan Andrew thought he wasn’t going to reply and wanted to open her mouth to speak again, Shawn’s low but cold voice resounded in the air.

“Let me see.”

As soon as he said this, Lucas walked three paces forward and collected the file from Susan. He returned to his boss’s side and handed it over to him.

“Hmn.” Shawn made a nasal sound as he collected the file in his long, slender outstretched hand.

Within a twinkle of an eye, he shredded the file into pieces without even taking a look at what’s inside.

Susan, who was just about to heave a sigh of relief, couldn’t believe what had just happened. Her eyes widened in sheer horror.

“What…? How?…” She stammered miserably.

That was the only copy they had. They hadn’t made a photocopy yet, and the only other contract agreement was with the Thompson family.

What if they had disposed of it because they didn’t want their daughter getting married to Matthew? Wild thoughts ran through Susan’s head as she stood in a daze.

“How could you?! How dare you?! Do you realize the consequences of what you have just done?!” She screamed out loud, almost losing her mind.

But the man simply gazed down at her in a mocking manner, treating her like she was just an ant in his face.

Just as she was about to continue in her fit of rage, “Woman! What the heck is going on here?!” Cole Andrew alighted from inside.

Right behind him was the girl meant for their son.

Cole wished for the ground to open and swallow him whole. He was almost going mad hearing his wife raise her voice at Shawn Mandez. CEO Shawn Mandez!

He quickly stepped forward and gripped his wife’s arms, shaking them vigorously. “Do you know who you’re talking to in that manner?! Have you gone bonkers?! Do you want me to lose everything I worked my ass off to get?! You want to land me into trouble!!!” He yelled furiously at her.

Cole Andrew’s outburst took his wife by surprise. Why was her husband behaving in such manner? Was the man that powerful to make her husband lose everything? Her body went limp at the thought of it.

“Go inside right now!” Cole thundered angrily and released her at once.

Susan shuddered in fear, avoiding her husband’s raging gaze. So as not to provoke him any further, she quickly headed inside without looking back. But as she left, tears streamed down her face.

After scolding his wife, Cole quickly turned to face Shawn. Smiling nervously, he dipped his head low, almost touching the ground, and apologized, “CEO Shawn, I’m extremely sorry for my wife’s behavior just now. Please, pardon us.”

The rest of the Andrew family who had been watching the events unfold had their jaws drop open when they heard their Patriarch refer to the intruder as CEO Shawn.

Wait, what? CEO Shawn? That CEO Shawn? The man was CEO Shawn? They were all utterly astonished as they gaped at him.

But the man in question wasn’t paying attention to anyone. He had his eyes fixated on one person and only that person alone-his wife.

Mia’s mouth felt dry. Her lips were chapped and her eyes were red. One could tell with a glance that she had been crying for a long time.

As she dragged her feet closer, she had her eyes fixed on the man whose eyes were boring holes into hers. Her entire body felt weak, and all she wanted to do right now was fall into that man’s embrace. Sadly, that couldn’t happen, of course.

As the girl finally came and stood in front of him, Shawn’s brows drew together and his jaw tightened. Slowly, his hand out and turned her face to the side.

The sight of the fingerprint marks made his eyes darken at once.

“Who did this?” He forced out through gritted teeth.

Cole Andrew raised his head and traced Shawn’s line of sight to the girl’s face. His heart immediately skipped a beat when his eyes landed on her cheek.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

He quickly recollected slapping the girl a few moments ago. He was done for!

“Ah-erm-I-” He stuttered uncontrollably, wiping his wet hands on his clothes.

Squeezing his eyes shut, he crumbled on his knees, pleading desperately. “I deserve death, sir. Please, forgive me, sir.”

Shawn gazed at him with a deadpan face. “You deserve death, and you want to be forgiven?”

Cole bit on his lip till he tasted the metallic tang of blood in his mouth.

“Forgive me, Sir. Please, sir. Please, sir!” He cried.

Despite this, Shawn’s countenance didn’t shift a bit.

Instead, he commanded, “Starting now, any current collaborations, be they significant or minor, with Andrew Enterprises, must be indefinitely suspended. Moving forward, there should be no further associations linking Beats Corporations with them.”

“Yes, sir,” Lucas replied.

But Shawn didn’t think that was enough punishment.

“Contact the legal team. Andrew Enterprises must be sued until bankruptcy.”

Cole Andrew felt his heart elope from his body as soon as he heard those words. He was completely done for. His face whitened instantly, rendering him looking like a ghost.

“CEO Shawn, please, it hasn’t gotten to this. Please, sir-” He hastily crawled over on his knees to hold onto Shawn’s shin and plead, but before he could get the chance to do that, Lucas stepped in front of the CEO, shielding him.

“Mr. Andrew, you shall receive the summons tomorrow morning.” Lucas blurted.

Having said his piece, Shawn ignored Cole’s ear-piercing pleas and planted his gaze on Mia. Pressing his lips to form a thin line, without saying anything, he hunched down and carried her into his arms without any difficulty, in a bridal style.

Without glancing back at anyone, he took large strides out of the Andrew family’s residence.
