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

Chapter 572 I'm Not Lying

"It's alright, Chessie. Mommy is here." Susan continued to soothe Chesney as she held her tightly in her arms.

She took her into the restroom. Then, she fished out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the tear stains off Chesney's face.

Chesney’s mood recovered a little under Susan's gentle and consoling voice, and it was at this moment that a soft voice rang out.

"Susie."

Susan turned her head up and she frowned when she saw that Willa was approaching them. She did not know why the woman still had the audacity to show herself right here. Did she scold her not hard enough?

She felt agitated, and the flame of anger was started anew when she saw Willa.

Truth be told, she wanted to leave right now. It was just that a voice inside her head told her that it would look as if Willa defeated her if she went away just like that. That was the reason why she decided to stay.

However, she could not help feeling deep revulsion against Willa every time she saw her.

"Let's go, Chessie." Holding Chesney’s hand, Susan attempted to leave.

"Wait a minute." Willa went up to Susan anxiously and stopped her in her tracks.

"What do you want?" Susan looked at her.

"Susie, you have misunderstood me.” Willa said apologetically, "I just want to ask for your forgiveness."

"There are only three of us here, so you can drop the act. It's meaningless," Susan said scornfully.

Looking at her apathetic face, Willa squinted her eyes and she decided to cut the act. Letting out a light chuckle, she said, "Don't you think you've won this time, Susan. All we women ever want is the love of a man. You have nothing now, while I have everything. I have Julian, I have a son, and how about you? Do you think that little piece of sh*t you’re holding can help you to turn the tables in your favor?”

"Shut up!" Susan shouted angrily as she raised her arm high, attempting to give Willa a slap on her cheek.

Willa was caught off guard and she could not avoid it in time. The resentment in her eyes grew thicker as she snarled, "Was I wrong? Julian obviously wants to pass the family fortune to the baby in my stomach, and you're the one shamelessly hogging it. I wonder, did anybody tell you before that it's wrong to hold onto something that doesn't belong to you?"

"Ask Julian to come and talk to me if you want the family fortune." Susan did not want to talk to Willa anymore. She wanted to take Chesney away from here after she said that.

However, Willa stood in front of Susan once again.

"What do you want..." Just when Susan wanted to say something, she saw something and she froze.

A creepy smile spread across Willa’s face as she withdrew a fruit knife out of nowhere.

'Is this woman mad?'

Susan moved in front of Chesney to protect her. However, she was not flustered.

As a daughter of the Wrights. She had picked up some martial art skills throughout the years Even though she was not as skilled as Serenity or Anna, it was more than enough for her to fend for herself against an opponent like Willa.

However, Willa did not press forward and attack Susan with the knife in her hand. Just as Susan was lost at sea about Willa's intention, the creepy smile on Willa’s face suddenly broadened and she stabbed herself in the stomach with the knife.

Blood flowed all over the place.

Susan’s first reaction was to cover Chesney's eyes.

"Argh!" It was at this moment that Willa screamed loudly.

A servant happened to pass by the door. When she saw the mess in the restroom, she shouted even louder and sharper.

"What is going on?" The people in the hall heard the commotion, and they all began to move towards the restroom.

Julian rolled his eyes. He knew what had just transpired.

He purposely created the opportunity for Willa, as he knew the woman would do something today.

Even though he knew Willa's intention was just to frame Susan and not harm her with the knife, he asked someone to follow after Willa in the dark as he worried that the woman might lose it and change her mind in the end.

If Willa really tried to harm Susan, Julian would throw his plan into the wind and make Willa pay for whatever she did right on the spot. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The silver lining was that Willa decided to carry out her plan.

In this way, he could continue with his plan as well. The only thing was that Susan might have to go through something very unpleasant for the time being.

Taking a deep breath, Julian then followed the crowd towards the restroom.

More and more people arrived at the restroom. They were all shocked when they saw the blood on the floor.

"Susie, even if you don’t like the baby, you can't take his life away like this," Willa said as tears rolled down her cheeks. "This baby is a boy, and he will be the future heir of the Shaws."

Susan could feel everyone looking at her right now. She forced herself to stand straight as she said sternly, "Shut the hell up! You're the one who stabbed yourself!"

"I stabbed myself?" Disbelief flitted across Willa's eyes. "Are you trying to say that I tried to kill my own baby along with me? Susie, you can't simply whip up something like that to prove your innocence. How is there any possibility that I would harm my own baby? I love my baby so much."

"It’s you who stabbed yourself," Chesney chimed in. Even though Susan had covered Chesney's eyes, she saw it very clearly when Willa stabbed herself in the stomach with the knife.

Willa’s face turned even paler. "You even asked your kid to lie for you... Susie, even if I made a mistake, the baby in my stomach is innocent. How can you be so cruel?"

Looking at Willa's painful face, the crowd felt that she was right. Susan was indeed too cold- blooded.

No matter how despicable Willa was, she should never try to kill her...

Everyone in the crowd shuddered when they remembered how frail and soft Susan used to be.

What a scary woman...

"I didn’t do it," Susan could only repeat the words again to defend herself when she realized that the crowd’s gaze had changed.

However, it was a worthless effort.

Considering their current situation, nobody was going to believe her.

"Even though I personally think that this woman deserves to die a million deaths, I believe that this is not Ms. Shelby's doing. She is not someone like that." Julius emerged from the crowd and stood in front of Susan. He looked at Willa with a piercing stare as he continued, "If Ms. Shelby said you stabbed yourself, then she must be telling the truth.”

"General Jenner, you...” Willa winced in pain and the blood seemed to flow even faster.

Willa was anxious as she continued to act like she was in deep pain.

'I have acted for so long, but why hasn't Julian arrived yet? Besides, why isn't anybody coming out to help me tend to my wound?’

Just when Willa was tortured by her anxiety, a deep voice erupted.

"How could you do this, Susie?" Julian emerged from the crowd, looking at Susan with a mixed expression of shock and disbelief in his eyes.

Susan did not feel heartache when she saw Julian. She didn't feel anything as there was only emptiness inside of her heart.

She said coldly, "I’ll repeat it again. I didn't do anything. This woman staged everything herself."

"Daddy. Mommy is right. It's her..." Chesney tried to chime in.

"That’s enough," Julian interrupted Chesney, "Susan, not only did you try to harm an innocent baby, but you even taught Chessie how to lie? When did you become like this?”

The disappointment in his eyes was apparent. Susan set her jaw tight as she was washed by a surge of exhaustion. She suddenly did not want to say anything anymore.

"Julian, blood..." Even though it delighted Willa a lot to see Julian falling out with Susan, blood was flowing faster and faster out from her wound. She could only remind Julian weakly.

It was only then that Julian came around to his senses. He bent down, scooped Willa into his arms, and looked icily at Susan. " You’ve let me down."

After that, he turned around and left without any hesitation.

“Daddy, Chessie didn't tell a lie, I'm not lying...”

Chesney's sobbing wafted from behind him.

Julian's heart shuddered, but he did not stop.
