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

Chapter 54 Out Of The Woods

Madam Jenkins scoffed once. "That Susan girl is a homewrecker. Your brother was dating her before the accident. I have no idea what sort of tricks she used to entice your brother such that he refused to listen to m y advice. He insisted on marrying that woman. Think about what our Jenkins family is like - can we take i n a woman like her? Who knows what her end goal is b y being with Luke!"

Charlotte Jenkins nodded in agreement.

"However, your brother got into the accident later on. The accident came as a blessing in disguise because h e lost his memories with her. I thought that this was considered an end to that relationship originally and yet I didn't expect that the incident would still linger o n inexorably." Madam Jenkins clenched her teeth in rage as she was speaking. "She is still hanging on to our Luke and refuses to let go of one hand while she has actually reached for Julian Shaw with the other hand! This woman is simply a wh*r*, so promiscuous that she makes every man her husband." 1

"This woman's trick in enticing men is rather superb, huh." Charlotte was gnashing her teeth in anger as well.

What the heck was going on actually with them? How did the elder brother and younger sister both get defeated by this woman's hands?

Madam Jenkins took a glance at Charlotte and suddenly said, "I still haven't asked you this - what’s the matter with you and Julian? What did you mean when you said, 'Take it as a favor from our past relationship,' huh?"

Charlotte's face blushed scarlet.

"You and Julian...” Madam Jenkins frowned.

Charlotte bit her lower lip. "I used to date him secretly for a while before I went overseas. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that the family would object to the relationship."

"Julian is actually considered a rather impressive candidate," said Madam Jenkins.

"Mother, you don’t object to him?" A wisp of joy flashed past Charlotte's eyes.

"Why should I object to him? Julian was a rather wild man in the past, but a man will always go through that frivolous phase when he is young. I can tell that his scandals have reduced significantly and he is a much more steady fellow now compared to the past," said Madam Jenkins.

Madam Jenkins' supportive attitude came as a surprise to Charlotte. She was joyous at first for a moment, then a look of chagrin flashed past her eyes." However, I don't know what kind of trick Susan used t o make herself Julian's wife successfully." "They're married?" Madam Jenkins was shocked.

"That's right.” Charlotte said unwillingly, "Madam Shaw told me personally so it must be true. I don't understand what Julian sees in her actually."

Madam Jenkins squinted her eyes. "Since you've met Madam Shaw before, are you aware if Madam Shaw is pleased with her?"

Charlotte shook her head. "Madam Shaw is not very fond of her actually, maybe it was Julian who insisted on marrying her."

"I don't think so." There was a profound glint in Madam Jenkins’ eyes. "If they’re just lovers, Julian is already doting on Susan sufficiently yet his effort is still far from enough if Susan is his wife. Charlotte, consider this closely. If Julian really doesn't love her, for an event as grand as marriage, why would he not even give her a wedding despite the Shaw family's background? Also, I only

found out about the marriage from you earlier. It means that both Madam Shaw and Julian didn't take Susan seriously as Mrs. Shaw!"

Charlotte found Madam Jenkins' analysis sensible and her eyes lit up. "Mother, so you're saying that..."

"Charlotte, do you really love Julian?" Madam Jenkins squinted her eyes.

"Yes," said Charlotte without the slightest hesitation.

"If that's the case, don't worry. I'll surely fulfill your wish." A cunning look flashed past Madam Jenkins’ eyes. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Her son was already entrapped in Susan's hands and there was no telling how the situation would turn out yet as of now.

She would never allow this woman to destroy even Charlotte's happiness.

"Mother, have you come up with any ideas?” Charlotte could not help but feel rather excited.

Madam Jenkins had a calm expression on her face." Let's discuss everything else when your brother awakens. Don't worry. I will make sure that both your brother and you can live a good life! Don't even think about trying to ruin your lives."

Charlotte could not help but feel at ease and convinced in view of Madam Jenkins’ confidence.

Meanwhile, the CEO of Jenkins Corporation and Luke’s father, Richard Jenkins, walked over in a rush.

"Have you invited Julian to come over? Where is he? I have to go and meet him in person. I coincidentally have a project on hand that I wish to collaborate with the Shaw Corporation."

Madam Jenkins frowned involuntarily. "Project, project, all you think about is your project. Do you show your concern for Luke who is in a coma? Where were you even before this?"

An impatient look flashed past Richard’s eyes. "Luke suddenly fainted during the event. Don't I need to make arrangements for our numerous guests and don't I need to explain to them about the situation? I’m not a doctor. What use would I be in caring for him? Tell me quickly, where is Julian!"

"You!" A wave of deep anger could be seen in Madam Jenkins’ gaze.

She did not care about how her husband was a womanizer indulging in the world of wine and women outside. Yet, how could he treat his own son with this attitude? Was this man still a human being?

'Heh-heh. He must be listening to his mistress' provocation and he wants to let his illegitimate child inherit the Jenkins Corporation? In your dreams!’

Madam Jenkins suppressed her anger forcibly and said coldly, "Julian is staying in the third room on the east side."

"Alright." Richard left eagerly.

Madam Jenkins gazed gloomily at his departing silhouette. There was an icy coldness hidden in her gaze.

"Mother...” Charlotte tugged at her arm.

"Charlotte, I'm okay." Madam Jenkins patted Charlotte's arm in relief. A wisp of coldness flashed past her eyes. "Don't worry. What's yours will be yours. No one is allowed to take that away."

Whether it was Susan, Richard's illegitimate child, or even Richard himself, she would never allow them to ruin her son and daughter’s lives!

At night...

Luke Jenkins’ mental state was stabilizing more and more under Susan Shelby’s meticulous care. His breathing sounded more even as well.

Susan could not help cracking into a gratified smile upon seeing his expression calming down slowly.

The day was breaking gradually.

The doctor came over to examine Luke and said, "Mr. Jenkins' situation has already stabilized. I believe that he is going to wake up soon."

"Really?" A smile of pure joy appeared on Susan's face.

"All thanks to your good caretaking," said the doctor with an approving gaze.

Susan maintained her initial posture almost throughout the entire night. She barely moved for a full night so he figured that her arms must be severely numb and sore. He was impressed by how she managed to sustain her effort.

"I’m okay as long as he is doing fine," said Susan while she rubbed her head subconsciously.

She felt rather tired from staying up all night.

"Ms. Shelby, I believe Mr. Jenkins is sleeping rather soundly by now. Why don’t you try pulling out your hand," suggested the doctor.

It was true that Luke was sound asleep. Susan managed to pull out her hand after a short while.

Madam Jenkins appeared by the door with a smile on her face after learning that Luke was already out of the woods. 1

"Susie, I must really thank you for doing this," Madam Jenkins said sincerely.
