Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 352

Hours were wasted away in a grievously slow manner. Then, her phone suddenly rang.

Startled, Susan immediately answered the call.

“Mrs. Shaw, we found her. The person who gave Madam Shaw the address of the hospital is the lady of Rylan Corporation. She…”

“Cut to the chase. Did you find Chessie?” Susan asked, her voice shaking.

“I still don’t know where exactly Little Miss is right now. However, according to my investigation, the lady spent some time with a wealthy businessman from America before she met up with Madam Shaw. The wealthy businessman is going back to America today. Since he carries a lot of merchandise with him, he cannot take a plane. Therefore, he has to go through the sea lane. The ship will set off soon.”

“The port! Chessie is at the port!” Susan rushed outside.

“Please calm down, Mrs. Shaw. I’ve already sent somebody over there…” The other person was still talking, but Susan could not hear anything anymore.

There was only one thought in her head right now: She had to get Chessie back.

Meanwhile, at the port...

Joseph was standing on a large ship, gazing ahead expressionlessly. There was a cradle next to his feet, and a baby was sleeping soundly in it.

A hunk kicked the cradle and said rudely, “This little thing is so troublesome. Fortunately, I’ve brought with me some sleeping pills. Otherwise, she would have been driving me crazy.”

Joseph threw an indifferent gaze at him and said, “Remember to go light on the dosage. I don’t want her to die yet.”

“Don’t worry, I got it,” the hunk replied before asking, “Boss, are we not leaving yet? I’m pretty sure that someone will show up in a little while.”

Joseph sneered, “They can’t do anything to us as long as we have this baby girl. I’m waiting for the bait.”

“Bait?” The hunk was confused.

A mysterious smile crossed Joseph’s face, but he did not say anything.

Just like the hunk had expected, it was not long before a stream of police cars arrived and surrounded the entire port.

“Listen, you’re surrounded. Hand over the hostage…” The police shouted through a loudspeaker.

Joseph was seemingly unperturbed despite being surrounded by the police. There was no expression on his face.

After a long while, the police began to disperse in two directions and two women emerged from the center.

The moment Joseph set eyes on Susan, a knowing smile appeared on his lips. “The bait is here.”

“It’s been a long time, Mrs. Shaw.” Joseph greeted her, a beaming grin blossoming across his face.

Susan had already dashed to the front. If the police had not stopped her at the last minute, she would have gone even further ahead.

“Mrs. Shaw, you can’t go there! It’s too dangerous.”

“Let me through, let me through.” Susan struggled with all her might. Her eyes were glued on the cradle, and she just wanted to reach her daughter’s side right now.

While looking at her, Joseph smiled. “Sure enough, parental love is universal and knows no bounds. This baby is indeed your Achilles’ heel.”

Susan could not take even a step forward, as she was held down by the police. She stared angrily at Joseph and snarled, “Who the hell are you? What do you want? Why did you take Chessie away?”

“We’ve only been separated for a short while, yet you already don’t recognize me?” Joseph said.

When Susan noticed the slight change in his voice, her eyes shrank.

‘This is his real voice? He has been faking his voice all along?’

As if he had been anticipating her answer, Joseph flashed Susan a triumphant grin and said, “Exactly. If you become my hostage, I won’t need this baby anymore. Mrs. Shaw, I’ll give you two minutes to think about it. When you are done considering it…”

“There is no need to consider it anymore. I’ll do it.” Susan interrupted him. “I’ll become your hostage, so you will let Chessie go. Can you promise me?”

Joseph grinned. “Of course. She is useless to me after all.”

Susan tightened her hands into fists and began to walk over to Joseph.

“Mrs. Shaw…” The police refused to let her go.

“The ship is setting off soon,” Joseph said as he lifted Chesney up into the air. His face was devoid of any expression while he was talking. “I don’t have much patience. If you want to get on, then you better do it now. If I get frustrated, the baby might slip off my hand. I guess you don’t want to see that happen, right?”

As if he wanted to verify his words, he shook his arms slightly.

“Don’t move!”

Strength welled in Susan as she successfully shrugged off the policemen’s restraining hands. The moment she was freed, she frantically charged toward the ship.

”Susie!” Serenity, who was startled, quickly ran after Susan.

Susan’s identity was very special. After their initial panic abated, the group of policemen wanted to go after Susan as well.

Upon seeing their movement, Joseph raised the baby even higher. “I suggest all of you stay put. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee I will not break my promise.”

“You guys stay there. I’ll go by myself!” Susan shouted.

A commotion spread in the crowd, but nobody dared make any reckless moves.

Gritting her teeth, Serenity shouted, “Joseph! Since I’m also one of the Wrights, I could be of use to you too. Instead of taking Susie alone, why don’t you take me as well? Susie and I will both become your hostages.”
