Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 552

"Just wait to be dealt with.” The director general’s precious daughter assumed a proud expression as well.

Zane took a glance at Susan Shelby, who appeared unusually calm and composed.

Heh heh. This person was not just Julian Shaw’s wife.

Her father was George Wright, and her mother was Luna Harris.

If the director general had learned about Susan’s real identity, perhaps he would have already peed his pants from fear.

In fact, Zane even thought that the director general was perhaps picking up this call because it was time for him to face the music already.

The director general took the call, and his face turned green in rage in a short while. “What? The superintendent is coming over? He’s arriving in an hour? Why… Why is this happening? I thought the superintendent was coming over next month. Why was the date suddenly moved up?”

The change of the date did not give him enough time to manage many affairs by using his tricks.

“What? Ask myself? Did I offend someone today? Who could I offend anyway…” The director general was speaking when he suddenly remembered something and looked at Susan with a shocked expression.

Zane figured out the general situation and felt joyous in his heart. He ignored the director general and told Susan cautiously, “Ms. Shelby, please allow me to escort you outside.”

“Thank you.” Susan nodded, took a glance at the director general, and said, “Officer Zane, you can contact me if you’re facing any trouble. Rivera, leave your number to him.”

Rivera left his number. Zane immediately beamed with joy and nodded. “Thank you very much, Ms. Shelby.”

Zane saw them off.

Meanwhile, although the director general was surprised and bewildered, he did not attempt to stop them.

After Susan left, he asked coldly, “What is actually the identity of that woman?”

He only knew that Holden Abott had arrested the woman today all of a sudden.

He was well aware of his son-in-law’s moral quality, yet Holden had always been skilled in sailing with the wind so that he would not offend those that he could not afford to. Besides, his son-in-law showed the utmost respect for him, so the director general did not need to manage him much.

The woman earlier had not appeared to be a person from a powerful background. Could he be overthinking?

As the director general felt surprised and bewildered, Zane said with a joyous expression, “There’s nothing very special about this woman’s identity. She is only the daughter of Master Wright of Skyking City and the wife of StarTech Co’s CEO, Mr. Shaw.”

Upon saying that, Zane turned around and left right away without paying any attention to the director general’s expression.

A drop of cold sweat slid down the director general’s face silently as he stood in the same spot.

No wonder the superintendent had suddenly changed his itinerary to come over now. The superintendent coming over was a member of the Harris family!

The Harris family was the family of that woman’s mother!

It would be fine if he were to carry out his duties righteously like usual, yet he had a large pile of dark records as well. It was utterly impossible for him to conceal them in time before the superintendent’s arrival in an hour.

It was over. It was all over for him this time.

The director general slumped onto the floor weakly.

To be frank, he was supported by someone powerful from the shadows, yet he knew very well that even his superior could not afford to offend Susan.

No one could protect him this time. If anything were to turn up during the investigation, he would be doomed…

“Dad, Holden…” The director general’s precious daughter spoke from his side.

The director general’s face was green with rage as he slapped his daughter with the back of his hand. “Shut the f*ck up!”

“You hit me?” The director general’s precious daughter looked at him incredulously.

In the past, the director general would have comforted his daughter properly. However, at the thought of the possible consequences that would befall him this time, in addition to the fact that Holden had caused this by offending someone he should not have offended, the director general wished he could choke his daughter and son-in-law to death.

Paying no attention to the director general’s hopelessness, Zane walked into the room cautiously and told Julian, “Mr. Shaw, Ms. Shelby has already left safely.”

“Very well.” Julian nodded. “I shall make a move then. Remember not to tell Susie that I was here.”

Jay felt conflicted in his heart for some unknown reason when he saw her being calm as usual.

He had been worried that Susan would be suffering due to Holden’s actions initially and had been thinking about figuring out a way to save her regardless.

As a result, he had found out that her identity was really prestigious and that she was a more important person than he could imagine.

His worry was futile anyhow.

However, he could finally break free from the ferocious tigress he had been living with thanks to Ms. Shelby.

Jay took a deep breath and then said, “Thank you, Ms. Shelby.”

Susan looked at Jay in confusion. She had no idea what he meant.

Jay did not intend to explain either. He smiled and said, “I wish you a safe journey.”

“Thank you,” answered Susan with a smile of her own.

Jay watched with his own eyes as Susan and her people left. Then, he heaved a soft sigh.

Frankly, Autumn’s accusation could not be considered unjust. After all, it was true that he had feelings for Susan that could not be explained…

However, he was feeling vaguely doubtful at that very moment.

Where had he gotten the courage to even wish for a woman like this in vain?

He must have gone crazy.

Jay gazed after the car traveling away with a sorrowful expression.

Perhaps, Susan would not return in the future after departing. A mysterious yet desolate woman like her could only remain an old dream in his memories after all.
