Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 570

“Dad?” Lara turned around, and her face was washed pale with fear.

‘Oh my gosh, does dad hear everything I say?’

Brook looked exasperatedly at Lara as disappointment filled his face.

He had no idea that his well-behaved and lovely daughter had a boyfriend behind his back. What’s more, she was pregnant before she got married!

However, in a hindsight, Lara had always been an obedient girl. It was impossible for her to commit such a deed, so this could only mean one thing: she was done brown.

Brook's eyes turned sharp when he looked at Seth.

Even though Seth had seen much of the world, he was still transfixed by Brook’s penetrating gaze. He figured that he should put aside the feud between him with Lara first and hastily explained, “This is just a misunderstanding. It’s not what it looks like.”

“What a douchebag. I’ve heard everything and now you are telling me that it is just a misunderstanding?” Brook snarled, leaving both Lara and Seth speechless.

“Both of you, follow me,” Brook instructed angrily.

Lara and Seth knew it was not the right place to elucidate the situation in the living hall. Therefore, they did not say anything and just followed behind Brook obediently.

Brook threw daggers at both of them again. Then, he put on a smile and said to the guests, “I have some problems I have to attend to right now, so I’ll have to excuse myself for a while. Please enjoy the food and please have fun.”

All of the guests nodded in understanding.

The atmosphere in the hall was still as lively as it used to be even though Brook had led both Lara and Seth away.

Most of them were gossiping about the breaking news that Seth had knocked up Lara, while those who stood further away and could not hear clearly were asking around. The news was then passed from one mouth to the next. A complete story about how Seth sweet-talked Lara into having a relationship with him emerged, and how deeply she was in love with him was soon formed.

People always said that gossip was a fearful thing. Lara had just said a few sentences, and all of them just supplemented their own opinions to form a riveting love story.

“Mommy, Uncle Quinton looks like he’s going to tear Uncle Leeds to pieces. Do you think we can still see Uncle Leeds again?” Chesney said sympathetically.

“Don’t worry. A cockroach is tenacious,” Susan could not help but chuckle.

Susan reckoned that the incident today would create bad blood between Seth and Lara. However, considering that it was just a misunderstanding, she figured that there would not be any trouble so long as they explained it well.

Initially, the hall was filled with echoing voices of people discussing the tea about Seth and Lara. Then, all of a sudden, their voices fell and Susan could sense that many people were looking at her.

‘What is going on?’

As the question rose in Susan’s heart, she turned her head around and her eyes shrunk.

At the door of the hall stood two people that she did not want to see at this moment.

‘Julian! Willa! Why are they here?’

Julian soon noticed Susan and their gazes met.

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Truth be told, there had been plenty of versions about the story between Julian and Susan in recent years. It was just that one of them drew a veil over the matter, while the other had moved away from Skyking City. As such, all of them did not have the chance to gossip about them.

Right now, the two of them had finally met up. What’s worse, even though Julian and Susan were still husband and wife, they did not show up together and both of them had their own plus one.

Everyone felt they could write a two-million-word count story with these four people.

Julian and Susan looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

A trace of nervousness flitted across Willa’s eyes as she spoke up first, shattering the silence, “Susie… I-I’m sorry. I didn’t know you’d be here. If I’d known it earlier, I would’ve asked Julian to come with you.”

She looked like she was mounting the white feather on the surface, but actually, she was showing off.

Susan let out a scornful laugh inwardly. She was not in the mood of fighting back now, as her first reaction was to look at Chesney.

“Mommy…” Chesney tugged at Susan’s hand, and she did not move. “It’s Daddy. Daddy is here. Are we not going to talk to Daddy?”

However, he was her Daddy, and her eyes were filled with anticipation and exhilaration when she saw him.

Julian’s gaze softened as he looked at his own princess.

He bent down and stretched his arms forward. “Chessie?”

“Daddy!” Chesney’s eyes lit up. She shrugged Susan off and threw herself into Julian’s arms.

Even though Susan’s heart was filled with a myriad of emotions, she did not stop her.

Chesney rubbed her face against Julian’s affectionately.

“Chessie? You still remember me?” Willa said to Chesney warmly.

As Willa said those words, she shot a glance at Susan.

Rolling her eyes, Chesney continued, “No one tells me anything. I just don’t like ugly people, and you’re ugly. You are a thousand times uglier than my mommy.”

Chesney’s words hit Willa like thunder and her face contorted.

This was the first time somebody called her ugly in front of her face.
