Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 228

Ever since Jade started accusing Charlotte, the plan had begun.

Madam Jenkins was devious and cunning. Although she would panic for a brief moment, she would also calm down quickly. It would not be easy to accuse her.

But Charlotte was different.

Based on the few interactions with Charlotte, it was clear that she was nowhere near as witty as Madam Jenkins. In fact, she could be somewhat reckless and impulsive. More importantly, based on Jade’s description, Charlotte still cared a lot about Richard.

Clearly, Charlotte would be much easier to sway compared to Madam Jenkins.

Julian instructed some people to turn off all the lights at the appropriate time. Then, the voice similar to Richard’s would be performed by a talented ventriloquist. This expert would hide among the audience, and, based on Julian’s instructions, speak in Richard’s voice to sway Charlotte!

Thus, before everyone’s eyes, Charlotte accused Madam Jenkins.

Madam Jenkins had no room to escape!

Facing Susan’s accusations, Madam Jenkins glared at Susan with hatred, “Who would’ve thought that I would lose to you, little b*tch!”

She had basically admitted her crimes.

Madam Jenkins could not accept her failure. She knew that she could try arguing, but it would no longer be meaningful. Jade’s betrayal, on top of Charlotte’s accusation, gave her no hope of escaping.

Any more arguments would only make her a joke.

The judge just realized what had happened and asked, “Madam Jenkins, are you admitting that you are the one who murdered Richard? But based on Jade’s description, it seems like Charlotte was also involved?”

“No, I did not.” Charlotte panicked and she waved her arms desperately. “I didn’t harm my dad, I really didn’t.”

“Charlotte, calm down!” Madam Jenkins had regained her composure by this point. She pushed Charlotte back onto her seat and said coldly, “This has nothing to do with Charlotte. I am the one who poisoned him! It was also me who told Jade to bring him to Susan’s room. I did everything. It is up to you to decide how I shall be punished. But, Richard deserved to die. I don’t regret my crime.”

Madam Jenkins spoke completely differently from how she grieved her dead husband’s death previously.

There was a bloodthirsty indifference in her composure.

Everyone was stunned.

Luke was the most surprised.

From Jade accusing Charlotte to Charlotte accusing Madam Jenkins, the whole process felt like a dream to Luke.

What happened?

He was very happy that his father’s death had nothing to do with Susan.

But why… Why did it suddenly become his mother who killed his father?

Besides, it was Charlotte who said the truth herself?

Luke stared at Madam Jenkins’s unsentimental face and felt so distant from her.

There were so many different voices bombarding his head.

He was completely dumbfounded.

Madam Jenkins looked at Luke and a rare expression of guilt crossed her face as she gritted her teeth, “Luke, it is true that I killed your father. But you have to believe me, everything that I do is for you and Charlotte!”

Luke kept quiet.

He believed that Madam Jenkins did it for them.

But, regardless of what Richard did, Luke could not see why Richard had to die.

Besides, because of Richard’s death, Susan suffered so many false accusations and nightmares.

And, he always thought that Madam Jenkins did not sue Susan because he begged her so desperately.

His father was already dead, and he could not bear losing his mother.

Luke gritted his teeth and looked at Susan pleadingly, “Susie, it was my mom’s fault for framing you, and I apologize for her. But can you please be generous and let her go?”

Susan was taken aback by his words. Then, she said calmly, “Luke, you must have misunderstood something. Your mother’s biggest crime is not framing me, it was murder. Her crime of murdering your father has nothing to do with me. Who am I to let her go?”

Luke’s expression turned gloomy immediately, “Susan, will you just watch my mother die?”

Luke’s logic was strange. Susan did not know how to answer him, so she simply stopped responding.

Looking at Susan’s distant expression, Luke could not help but bite his lower lip in frustration.

The police took the opportunity to arrest Madam Jenkins.

Luke could only watch Madam Jenkins get arrested.

Charlotte stared blankly. It only seemed to hit her after Madam Jenkins left and she burst into tears.

“Luke, it was my fault. It was my fault that Mom got arrested,” Charlotte just realized that she had been swayed by Julian’s plan. After seeing Madam Jenkins get arrested, she broke down.

If she did not fall for their trap and accused her mother, how would her mother admit it so easily!

It was her… It was her fault!

Seeing Charlotte’s crack-up, Luke embraced her shoulders silently, his thin lips pressed together tightly.

“Luke…” Mandy walked towards Luke and called him carefully.

“F*ck off,” Luke glared at her coldly.

If Mandy did not create all the drama she did, things would not have developed to this stage!
