Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 551

“Holden!” Autumn Abott screamed in discontent.

“Shut up.” Holden glared at her and then looked at Susan. “A villa in exchange for your freedom. It’s not a bad deal, right?”

“I was wondering why I am in trouble all of a sudden. It turns out that it is because of the house.” Susan Shelby looked as if she had suddenly realized something.

“Tell me your decision.” Holden looked at Susan expressionlessly. “I believe that you will make the right choice.”

Even though Autumn was still recalcitrant, she controlled herself with great effort at the thought of owning a villa.

The corners of Susan’s lips curled into a gentle smile. “You can get the villa if you want. Just buy it with money.”

“Don’t make me force you to do it instead! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll imprison you for 10 years?” Holden was furious at once.

A cold glint flashed past Susan’s eyes. “Is that so? Are you going to do it by using the offense of public murder that you made up? Do you think that the laws of this world are really decided by you?”

“I don’t know about the laws of other places, but here in Jerucity, when I don’t want a person to have a good life, they won’t have a good life!” Holden said in an extremely rampant manner. “I will ask you one last time. The villa…”

“Dream on,” said Susan nonchalantly.

“Very well.” Holden scoffed coldly. “Then I shall see how hard your bones are!”

He made his way to a corner of the room and procured a bunch of tools.

Julian Shaw had been watching with a cold expression all this time. When he saw the pile of tools, his expression turned so dark that ink was almost seeping out of his face.

“What a great local tyrant Jerucity has.” Julian sneered nonchalantly.

Zane felt rather agitated in his heart as he wiped away his cold sweat.

He had a presentiment that Holden was truly doomed this time. He would be in charge of the station from now on, and people would follow his orders.

Zane raised an eyebrow and said loudly, “Just as expected, Holden has gone too far. Mr. Shaw, I shall go inside and arrest him.”

Julian appeared indifferent. “Go ahead. Rivera and Bruce, follow him. Remember to pacify Susie. Also, don’t let her know that I was ever here.”

“Yes, sir.” Rivera and Bruce agreed. Meanwhile, Zane made arrangements at once and sent people to break into the interrogation room.

Holden was about to torture Susan when the door was suddenly kicked open. He could not help being startled.

Upon noticing that it was Zane, he was not afraid anymore. The corners of his lips cracked into a mocking smile. “Zane, I’m busy interrogating this criminal, yet you came breaking into the room. Are you…”

Zane ignored his nonsensical talk completely. Before Holden could finish his sentence, he issued an order right away. “Go ahead, cuff up Holden and Autumn.”

A few people charged forward and restrained Holden and Autumn, who were both surprised and bewildered.

“It’s fine.” Susan assumed that Rivera and Bruce were the ones that had sought help, so she was not that surprised. She said nonchalantly. “These two people just fabricated false charges against me. They also attempted to seize my personal property…”

Zane immediately assured her. “I will certainly penalize them strictly.”

Susan nodded.

Holden’s pupils constricted involuntarily when he noticed that Zane did not seem to be joking around. Then, he said coldly, “Zane, are you really going to do this? It seems that you’ve completely lost respect for my father-in-law, huh?”

Holden used his father-in-law as a bargaining chip skillfully. When he had used this trick in the past, it had always been effective. This time, Zane only sneered. “Take both of them downstairs.”

He still had the audacity to use the director general. Perhaps even the director general would not be able to fend for himself this time!

Did Zane really have the courage to do this?

An incredulous look flashed past Holden’s eyes.

He had been upset with Holden for some time so he had gathered this information in preparation for a time when the need might arise in the future. He had not expected that there would come a day when he would be able to use it.

The director general rifled through the information, his expression turning unpleasant at once.

The information was very detailed. Holden’s guilt was proven beyond doubt.

However, the director general thought that Zane must have collected a large amount of information for a very long time to use it to deal with Holden.

The director general immediately scoffed coldly. “This is all the information? How is this considered detailed evidence? In my opinion, you made this up. Your goal is to eliminate a capable opponent like Holden to stabilize your status.”

As he was speaking, he took a glance at Susan on the side. “I heard that this was caused by this woman. In my opinion, Officer Zane, you’ve spared no effort to frame Holden in order to protect your little lover. Is that right?”

Little… Little lover…

Zane looked at the calm Susan on his side and felt cold sweat drenching his body at once.

Oh god, Julian was still watching this in secret. How could Julian’s wife become his little lover?

Zane panicked at once. “Director general, don’t make fast assumptions!”

His panic seemed like a guilty conscience in the eyes of the director general.

The director general could not help sneering. “Zane, I can see that you’re having a good time holding down this position!”

He was about to continue making a few ruthless remarks.

However, all of a sudden, his phone rang.

“I’ll deal with you when I’m done with this call!” The director general glared at Zane and then picked up the phone.
