Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 158

It was apparent that Isabelle Shelby was not as graceful as she had described herself.

Julian Shaw narrowed his eyes ever so slightly.

If Susan Shelby found out that he was the little boy back in those years and Isabelle was Little Flower, then the matter would become even more confusing.

He had already given Susan his heart fully and it could not contain anybody else even the slightest bit.

However, it was true that Isabelle did help him a lot when they were young.

He considered himself owing a huge favor to her.

He would need to return the favor but it was definitely not in the manner that Isabelle wanted.

He needed time to think properly on how to solve this matter.

Julian placed the phone aside without replying to any of Isabelle’s text messages. He did not want to be the cause of Isabelle’s unrealistic imaginations.

In the Shelbys, Isabelle stared at the phone screen and waited.

Half an hour, one hour, two hours passed.

Regardless of how many text messages she sent, her effort to attract his attention failed entirely in the end.

Isabelle’s expression turned unpleasant.

Julian was more ruthless and also more resolute than she had imagined!

Perhaps her direct path to Julian could not be passed through anymore!

However, she would never just give up so easily!

On the next day, Isabelle gave Susan a call.

She said sweetly, “Susie…”

“I’m working. Let’s talk again later.” Susan’s voice sounded slightly rigid.

Isabelle could not help being stunned for a moment.

Susan had always treated her with a kind attitude. Why did she feel that Susan’s voice sounded off this time?

Susan was already hanging up the call while Isabelle was caught in a daze.

“Susie, hold on.” Isabelle could not help feeling anxious. “What’s wrong? Are you suddenly mad at me?”

Susan pursed her lips and recalled the incident where Isabellle contacted Julian without her knowledge. She felt rather uneasy in her heart.

She was not a person who enjoyed hiding her feelings so she could not help asking straightforwardly, “Where did you get Julian’s contact number?”

Isabelle was stunned for a moment and she could not help panicking inside.

How did Susan find out that she had been contacting Julian in private?

Had she read the content of the text messages?

If she saw it, then her act of disguising herself as Little Flower would get exposed!

Isabelle forced herself to calm down and said cautiously, “Susie, are you mad at me for contacting Chairman Shaw yesterday night? I was only sending him a greeting.”

“Are you very close to Julian? Why is it necessary for you to greet him?” Susan grunted coldly.

Isabelle could not help feeling relieved upon hearing Susan’s words. Thank God Susan had not read the content of the text messages.

The corners of Isabelle’s lips curled into a smile.

No wonder Julian did not reply to her text messages yesterday night. So it turned out that it was discovered by Susan and it was inconvenient for him to reply to her. However, she was certain that he still could not bear to part with her yet.

Isabelle was still crying incessantly and only stopped crying after Susan consoled her for a long while.

“That’s all for now, Isa. I have to go back to work now,” said Susan.

“Alright, alright. Go ahead and get busy, Susie,” said Isabelle hastily.

Isabelle was not supposed to contact Julian behind her yet how did she end up consoling Isabelle in the end?

Oh forget it! There was no need for her to mind about these details anymore. She decided that she would listen to Julian and stay further away from Isabelle from now on.

Susan placed her phone and walked back to the office. Then, she heard Chance Hamilton’s voice calling out to her.

“Susie, have you received the notification? The design competition is about to proceed.”

“Oh?” Susan looked up. “Maybe there’s a delay, I haven’t received it yet...”

Before her voice died away, her phone beeped once.

Susan immediately turned on her phone to take a look.

The design competition had no choice but to switch to another professional judge now that they had lost Sheldon Parsons.

Since it was a professional judge, the reputation of the person would certainly need to carry some weight.

She wondered who the judge would be this time.

Susan scrolled through the page swiftly and saw the judge’s name. She almost leaped up in excitement.

It was Jojen Reed! The judge chosen this time was actually Jojen Reed!

“I didn’t expect the organizer to actually get Mr. Reed on board.” There was excitement in Chance’s eyes that could not be concealed.

No wonder the competition was postponed for half a month. So it turned out that the organizer was preparing to deliver such a grand move!
