Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 354

An aircraft landed by the airport hangar.

Julian Shaw turned on his phone, only to see numerous missed calls and unread text messages pop out instantaneously.

He screened through the text messages swiftly and his expression turned green with rage abruptly.

He took a glance at his watch rapidly and saw that it had already been two hours since Susie had gone aboard the ship.

In other words, Susan Shelby had boarded the ship less than an hour after the plane had taken off.

The ship had already sailed out of Ningcheng Port by now. The police had been monitoring the ship all this time but had yet to take any action recklessly.

Amid the large number of text messages, Julian noticed a text message from an unknown number.

“If you want Susan to live, call this number.”

Julian dialed the number without the slightest hesitation.

On the deck, Joseph Shaw was watching the vast blue sea with a relaxed expression when he got a call. He noticed the caller ID and cracked a faint smile.

Julian had finally arrived in Ningcheng City.

The game had officially begun.

He picked up the call.

“Joseph, tell me how Susie is. If you have the audacity to touch even a single hair on her, I will make sure you pay a price 1,000 times higher.” Julian’s voice betrayed the fact that he was suppressing his anger.

Joseph laughed at once. “My dear cousin, have you misunderstood something? I have the upper hand now. How dare you try to threaten me? Besides, whether Susan gets to live or die is not within my control. That will be decided by you.”

Julian’s pupils constricted abruptly. However, he said with the same expression, “Speak. Tell me what you want.”

His palms had already been clenched into fists.

“I won’t tell you what I want so soon.” Julian laughed. “Wait until I’ve left Canada with Susan. Then, I will naturally begin to negotiate with you. There’s no need for you to panic too much before I contact you to negotiate. Susan is a very important hostage, so how can I possibly kill her just like that? However, it would be best if you had the customs let us through. Otherwise, although I may not be able to kill Susan, I can’t guarantee what kind of torment she might endure.”

“Joseph!” Julian’s voice sounded dangerous at once. “This enmity is just between us. Come at me if you have the capability. What kind of man are you? Why are you seeking revenge through my wife and child?”

Joseph smiled. “Julian, have you mistaken me for someone else? I’ve never been a respectable gentleman. What wouldn’t I do just to be able to triumph over you? Thus, it’s best if you follow my instructions obediently and do as I say.”

Julian’s grip on the phone tightened for a moment. “How’s Susie now? I want to see her.”

Joseph narrowed his eyes. “Sure, don’t worry. I haven’t done anything to her as of now. However, we are almost approaching customs. If we are stopped by customs, I can’t guarantee that I won’t do anything to her. You know me very well so you know that I’ve always been a ruthless person. If you want to kill me, I can guarantee that your woman will die before me.”

“I will call up my connection at customs, but let me see Susie now!” said Julian through clenched teeth.

“Cool.” Joseph smiled. “You have three minutes to talk to your wife.”

Joseph took the phone and walked into the cabin.

Two crew members were guarding attentively the door of the room where Susan and Serenity Wright were kept.

“Open the door,” said Joseph.

“Yes, sir.” The two burly men opened the door.

“Joseph, how dare you endanger the life of a baby!” Julian looked at him furiously.

“You can’t blame me for that. She was too noisy. What else could I do other than feed her some sleeping pills?” Joseph chuckled with an innocent expression. “Julian, now that you’ve seen the hostage, you should call up your connections and get us cleared by the customs. I will contact you again when I reach my destination.”

Julian’s veins were bulging on his hand because he was gripping the phone too tightly. After a long time, he said coldly, “Sure!”

“Goodbye then. I won’t be using this phone number anymore. I will send you the new number when I arrive at the designated location.” As Joseph was speaking, he hung up the phone.

He made his way to the window and tossed the phone into the sea.

Susan watched his actions coldly and asked after a long time, “Joseph, what do you actually want?”

“This is a game between men. A woman is not allowed to comment.” Joseph took a glance at Susan nonchalantly.

“Heh… A game between men my *ss. You are nothing but a miserable b*stard who doesn’t have the courage to confront Julian head-on,” said Serenity while sneering.

Joseph took a glance at Serenity with an extremely intrigued expression.

Serenity could not help frowning.

Was that a delusion? She could feel Joseph looking at her with a gaze that seemed particularly tolerant. In fact, it felt as if there was even… a little pity in his eyes?

When she watched him closely again, Joseph’s gaze had already become calm and composed.

He smiled and said, “Ms. Wright, there’s no need for you to be concerned about whether I’m a miserable b*stard or not. I know that both of you are even more miserable than I am now. It would be best if you started praying that Julian can follow my instructions properly. Otherwise, what’s in line for you is definitely not good.”
