Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 59

Julian Shaw frowned. “I only find that there are still some questionable points in this matter that necessitates an investigation. At the very least, even if it really was Susan who killed a man accidentally, it was also because Richard was attempting to rape her. Even if this case was presented to the court, I don’t think that Susie will be at fault either.”

“Chairman Shaw, you’ve gone a little too far haven’t you? The man is already dead. How can you assume that it was Father Jenkins who attempted rape just because of Susan’s one-sided statement? What if this woman made up all these? Anyhow, no one can refute her now,” said Mandy Aisley without the slightest hesitation.

The charge of homicide was enough to cast Susan Shelby into a lifetime of humiliation and isolation. Regardless of the truth, Mandy would never let this opportunity pass to strike down Susan fully.

“I’m not lying.” Susan could not refrain herself from shivering. “It was him, it was obviously him who initiated…”

A never-before-seen expression of fear and panic appeared on Susan’s face.

Julian Shaw lifted her into his cradle with a piteous expression. “Susie, don’t be scared, I’m here.”

Susan leaned against Julian’s chest tightly and whispered, “Julian, Julian, is it okay for us to leave this place first? I’m scared…”

A gentleness flashed past Julian’s eyes involuntarily. “Sure, let’s leave this place first.”

As he was speaking, he carried Susan and walked outside without the slightest hesitation.

“Stop!” Mandy blocked Julian’s path. “It’s fine for you to walk away, but leave Susan. This is a man’s life. She is not allowed to leave before she confesses to the crime.”

Julian looked at her with an icy cold glow in his eyes. “You can report this to the police and file for prosecution. I, Julian, will be waiting for that at all times. However, I’m taking Susan with me now. Are you sure that you want to stop me?”

There was an indistinct gloom in Julian’s eyes.

Mandy was so startled that she stepped aside without even noticing herself.

Julian walked on expressionlessly while the servants blocked the doorway.

He raised an eyebrow ever so slightly and looked toward Madam Jenkins. “Order the servants to step aside. Otherwise, you’re not going to like bearing the consequences.”

“Julian, you’re threatening me here,” said Madam Jenkins through clenched teeth.

“Yes, so what?” Julian had a domineering expression on his face.

Madam Jenkins’ entire body was shaking in anger.

In the deathly silence, Luke Jenkins enunciated his speech word by word, “Let her go!”

“Luke!” Madam Jenkins looked at him incredulously.

Luke repeated himself, “I said, let her go!”

Luke’s tone was determined yet there was no room for doubt.

“But…”

“Let her go!” Luke abruptly raised the volume of his voice.

Maybe because he was overly agitated, but his body staggered and he almost fell down.

“Luke!”

“My son!”

Madam Jenkins and Mandy charged over to him and helped prop him up in unison.

Veins were bulging out on Luke’s forehead as if he was enduring some immense agony. He grabbed Madam Jenkins’ hand. “Let Susan go.”

“Alright, alright, alright. Let her go, let her go.” Madam Jenkins was in a flurry of panic. She could only nod and agree at this very moment.

She turned her head to look at the servants and said right away, “Make way, let Master Shaw and Susan go!”

The servants dispersed into both sides.

Julian carried Susan and left without even looking back.

Luke turned his head to the side and watched as the silhouettes of both people disappeared vaguely. He took a glance at Richard Jenkins lying on the floor and felt intense pain in his head. Then, he fainted once again.

“Luke!” Madam Jenkins was in a real panic this time. “Doctor, doctor.”

She called out for a doctor repeatedly.

A chaotic scene ensued.

“It’s true…”

“Mother!” Charlotte raised her voice. “I just want to know the truth! I’m your daughter, but could it be that you still need to hide it from me too?”

Madam Jenkins was silent.

“Mother!” Charlotte looked at her in a pleading manner.

Madam Jenkins looked up with a cold glare. “Charlotte, what would you like to know? Ask away.”

Charlotte felt an ominous presentiment arise in her heart upon seeing Madam Jenkins’ reaction.

She bit her lower lip and exclaimed, “I want to know how father died!”

Madam Jenkins cracked into a sneer. “Haven’t you found the answer already in your heart?”

“Mother…” A look of disbelief flashed past Charlotte’s eyes. “So it really was you… it was you… who killed father?”

At the end of her sentence, Charlotte’s voice was shaking.

“It was me, so what?” Madam Jenkins said expressionlessly.

“Mother!” Charlotte could not help staggering upon hearing Madam Jenkins’ confession. “Even if my father has committed many wrongdoings in the past, he is still my father and my brother’s father.”

“You may think of him as your father, but he doesn’t think of you as his children!” Madam Jenkins clenched her teeth with a malignant gaze in her eyes. “There are some matters that I’ve never told you all this time. Your father had a mistress and she gave birth to a son five years ago. Your father loved that young son so much. I discovered recently that he had been transferring his assets secretly. I suspected that he was trying to leave his assets to that b*tch’s son! If he were to live, our Jenkins family will be nothing but an empty shelf in just a few years. Your brother and you won’t be getting anything!”

“What… How can this be!” A turmoil of emotions swarmed through Charlotte’s heart.

She was only aware that her parents were not on good terms and that her father had a mistress. Due to this reason, she was not close to Richard.

Yet, she never expected that her father would raise another son with his mistress.

He even tried to transfer everything he owned to those people outside of this family.

Charlotte felt confused.
