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

Chapter 62 An Investigation

After breakfast, Julian grabbed the coat and prepared t o head out. He told Susan, "I'll help you ask for a leave for a few days from the company. Remember not to go to work for the time being. The Jenkins family would b e home from Bali by now. We'll have another hard battle to face later on. Don't panic when the time comes. You're not alone. You're my wife, and I won't ever allow them to ruin our family’s reputation. You must never tell anybody about the case. Do you understand that?"

"Yes,” Susan replied obediently.

However, there was an unknown feeling in her heart.

In fact, the reason Julian tried his best to help her was mainly because of the Shaw family's reputation. She thought so.

"Good. Stay at home. I'll get to work first." Julian left.

Susan looked at him as he disappeared from her sight. She was slightly upset.

"Susie, are you unhappy?" Susan did not know when Jacob came to stand beside her. He tilted his head and looked at Susan, slightly worried.

Jacob was so observant that it rather surprised Susan. She forced a smile. "No. I'm quite happy. See, I'm smiling now."

Jacob fixed his eyes at her. Then, he stretched his hand out and pinched the corner of her mouth.

"It hurts, brother. You're bullying me.” Susan looked at him blamingly.

"Your smile is ugly. You look better if you don't smile," Jacob said calmly. Then, he turned around and returned to sit before his computer.

"Is it? Brother, how could you say that about your younger sister?" Susan ran after him immediately.

But Jacob had started writing code which was alien to Susan.

Susan looked at Jacob's swift movements as he was typing on the keyboard with his fingers. She started to calm down gradually.

She looked at Jacob's exquisite face beside him and hesitated for a short while. She asked, "Brother, if...I murdered somebody, would you think that I'm a villain?"

"Susie will never kill anybody,” Jacob said resolutely.

"What if I really killed somebody?” Susan asked him again.

Jacob looked at Susan. After a long while, he replied," Even if it was true, you were forced to do so. You're never a villain.”

Jacob had full confidence in her.

That kind of trust gave Susan great courage.

Susan grabbed Jacob's hand. Suddenly, she broke into a smile. "Brother, thank you.”

Jacob tilted his head and looked at Susan. He seemed not to understand why Susan thanked him in the first place.

But Susan felt that she was relieved because of that.

The incident concerning Richard had happened. So she could only face it directly.

She believed that the laws would give her the fairest verdict. And she could only accept the result calmly.

By the way, she would always have her family with her no matter how the incident turned out.

At Lanyard Construction, Julian stood before the large French windows and made a phone call calmly.

"Hey, CEO Shaw, didn't you straighten up and decide t o lead a respectable life now? Why did you think of calling me given that I'm one of your bad friends?" He heard a reckless voice at the other end of the phone.

"Where are you? It's noisy!" Julian frowned slightly.

"Certainly. I'm at the bar. Wait, I'll walk out of the bar."

After a short while, the noise disappeared. He asked Julian lazily, "Spill it. What happened?"

"Do me a favor. I want to investigate a person. You're a n expert in a field like this." "Who?"

"Richard Jenkins.” “Isn’t he the previous CEO of the Shaw Corporation? Why do you want to investigate him?" 1

"Just do me the favor. The most important thing is to investigate his health to see if he's suffering from an invisible illness." Julian said.

"Sure." He promised to help him. Then, he said gloomily. "It's been such a long time since you last contacted me. The minute you did, you asked me to do something for you. Julian, do you still care about me?”

He sounded weird, and a cold shiver ran down Julian’s spine. Julian gritted his teeth and said, "You better speak properly. I'll treat you to a meal after you help me with this."

"Do I sound like I want that so badly?" He was disdainful.

"Then what do you want?"

He sneered. "CEO Shaw, I recently heard that you've transformed into a better man for a woman's sake. You're loyal to her now, and you didn't fool around with any other women outside. I know that you have a beautiful wife at home. Why? Is she the reason why you always want to return home?" He teased Julian.

"Don’t talk nonsense. Just tell me what you want." Julian raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I have no other shortcoming except that I'm a curious man." He giggled and said, "I’ll help you with the investigation. When it’s done, bring your beautiful wife out and let me meet her. I want to see just what kind of woman she is. I wonder how she could make you fall for her and settle down.”

Julian rolled his eyes. "Wait till you finish the investigation!"

After that, he hung up the phone directly.

At the door of the bar, a man was seen listening to the beep of the phone as the call was hung up.

At first, he was stunned for a short while. Then, he could not help but complain about it, "He does indeed prioritize his lover more than his friend."

"Young Master Leeds, why are you here for such a long time?" He just kept his phone.

Two attractive women walked toward him and grabbed his hands on each side. "Come, let's go and have a drink now."

Both women were the kind of women he liked. Their body figures were good. The most important thing was they had such big breasts. 1

At first, he planned to have a nice chat with the beautiful women and enjoyed his wine.

But-

Seth Leeds raised his eyebrows and pinched one of the girls’ cheeks and said with a look of regret," Darlings, I have some other business to deal with today. I'll leave now. See you around.”

"Young Master Leeds..." They were unwilling to let him go. They grabbed onto him still.

Seth smiled faintly, but he did not care for them. He swung them off directly and got into a silver sports car.

The women were left stamping their feet by the road.

Seth was quick. By that evening, he had found the data he wanted. So he went straight to Lanyard Construction.

"How is it?" Julian seemed slightly hopeful.

"By the way, how did you think of asking me to investigate his health?" Seth looked at Julian curiously.

"Is there something wrong with his health?" Julian narrowed his eyes.

"Luckily you asked me to do it for you. If it were someone else, I'm afraid that they would not have such wide connections like I do. They wouldn't be able to dig up anything for you." Seth raised his eyebrows smugly. Then he continued, "I'm certain that you cannot guess what means I used to investigate it. How about this? You beg me nicely, so I’ll tell you how I went through a dangerous and thrilling process just to grab ahold of the truth." 1

Julian rolled his eyes. "I'll give you three seconds. If you don't spill it all out after three seconds, you'll never get to speak about it again."

Before Seth could recover his wits, Julian had started counting down.

"Three..."

"Two..."

"Hey, wait." Seth was anxious. "Don't count anymore. I didn't say that I won’t tell you the truth." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

After that, Seth started to babble about what he had found just like he was afraid that Julian would prohibit him from talking about it.
