Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 81

The content of the email was short:

[We’re safe now. Don’t look for us anymore.

Best Regards,

Susan]

Julian looked at the email and gritted his teeth.

He had no idea why she had the nerve to send him this kind of email.

‘She left without saying anything and she refused to pick up my calls. Is this her way of telling me that she doesn’t want to take part in my life anymore?’

Julian narrowed his eyes as the thought flitted across his mind. He could not imagine his life without Susan. He had gone through so much effort to find her and keep her by his side, so there was no way he would let her go so easily.

Julian picked up his phone and made a call to Seth.

“Just get ready for work, work, work, work, work…” A catchy song rang out, shattering the silence in the room.

Susan glanced over to the phone on the table.

“Oh, oh, it’s mine, its mine,” Seth sprang up.

Susan fell silent. She knew Seth was from a wealthy family, but she felt that Seth’s music playlist was kind of down to earth.

Just when Seth reached out for his phone, Jacob took a glance at the screen and frowned. He went forward and grabbed the phone before Seth could touch it.

Then, he turned to Seth and said, “It’s Julian.”

Seth was stunned. He tried to get his phone back from Jacob, but the latter would not budge.

Seth could not help but scratch his head. Then, he said, “If I don’t answer the call, he will get suspicious. If he gets suspicious, he might come to my house and check on me.”

Jacob pressed his lips thin and his face scrunched up. After a long while, he looked at Seth and said, “But you can’t tell him that we’re here.”

He did not want Susan to have any relationship with the Shaws anymore. She had suffered far too much.

“Fine, fine, fine,” Seth assented. Only then did Jacob return the phone to Seth. Then, he glanced at him sharply and said, “Put it on speaker.”

Left with no other choice, Seth could only do what Jacob had said.

“Seth, I need your help. Susie just sent me an email. I want you to help me track the IP address. Remember, do it fast. I’m afraid they might start moving soon,” Julian’s cold voice wafted through the speaker.

”Ah…” Seth looked over to Jacob and Susan. He did not know what to do. After all, both of them were in his apartment right now, and Susan had sent the email right before his eyes.

“Hmm? You got any problems?” Julian pressed on when he detected a certain hesitancy in Seth’s voice.

Seth cleared his throat. He was thinking about how he could hint Julian without letting Jacob know.

Jacob constricted his eyes ever so slightly when he saw Seth looking around. He got himself a piece of paper and wrote a word on it.

Then, he lifted the paper and showed it to Seth.

Seth’s eyes glowed.

“Seth?” Julian urged.

Seth then withdrew his gaze and cleared his throat again, “Okay, I’ll try my best. However, I’m not sure if I’m able to track them or not. After all, Jacob is better than me at this kind of thing.”

“Did you not say that Jacob is good at programming, but when it comes to something like this, you’re streets ahead of him?” Julian asked.

Susan had no idea what was the system that Seth and her brother were talking about. She just knew that she should not edge in if it was something that was out of her league. As such, she just sat beside Jacob and listened.

“You should’ve worked with me long ago!” Seth was exhilarated, “With both of us working together, nothing can stop us! We can even conquer the world!”

Jacob rolled his eyes, “But I have some requirements.”

”What kind of requirements? Just name them,” Seth said without any hesitation. After all, there was nothing worth more than the system Jacob was working on right now.

“First, you have to let Susie and me stay at your place. Second, you cannot inform the Shaws that we’re here,” Jacob said.

“Err…” Seth began to hesitate.

His friendship with Julian dated back to university, and they had been best buddies since then. Therefore, he felt a little guilty for keeping Susie away from him.

Before this, he planned to sneak out of the house and tell Julian that they were here.

Susan let out a bitter smile when she noticed the hesitation on Seth’s face. “You don’t have to feel guilty, Seth. Maybe Julian is happy to see that Jacob and I have finally decided to leave him.”

Seth was slightly stunned. He had heard from Julian before that he was forced to marry Susan, and that he did not love her at all. However, after spending some time with them, he felt that it was not true. If he really did not like her as he claimed, he would not have gone to the extent of dispatching everyone to look for her.

Susan pressed her lips thin and continued to wring words out of her tongue, “He has somebody he loves, and that person is not me. He’s looking for me because he’s worried about me as a friend. Our relationship is a mistake, so I think it’s good for us to end our relationship this way.”

Although Susan sounded calm on the surface, there was an indescribable feeling bubbling in the depth of her heart.

Madam Shaw’s order was very clear. She did not want her to have any kind of connection to Julian anymore. For her, she was a parasite that was leeching off Julian and the Shaws.

As such, she should know her place and leave Julian as soon as possible.

She wanted to end their relationship once and for all. It would be better for both her and Julian this way.
