Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 83

Seth only managed to get a moment of rest before his phone started ringing.

He took a glance at the name displayed on the screen and immediately got up to answer the call.

“Did you find the IP address?” It was Julian.

Seth scratched his head, “Sorry, Jacob is too clever. I couldn’t track him.”

Julian was silent for a while.

“Okay,” he finally muttered.

Seth couldn’t help but notice the weariness in Julian’s voice. “Hold on,” Seth added.

“What’s wrong?” Julian asked.

Seth felt a little guilty. He coughed, “I was just thinking... Since Susan has already contacted you, I don’t think Jacob and she will be in trouble. Besides, it’s Madam Shaw who chased Susan out. Knowing Madam Shaw, even if you manage to find Susan, Madam Shaw won’t let her have a good time either. I think, if you want Susan to return, it’s better to communicate with your mom first.”

Seth found his logic very convincing, so he waited confidently for Julian’s response.

There was another moment of silence from Julian.

After what felt like a century, Julian asked, “So, how did you know that it was my mom who chased Susie out?”

Shit!

Seth covered his mouth in shock. He was screwed — he had just exposed himself!

It was not intentional!

But would Jacob and Susan believe him?

Seth held on to his last strand of hope and asked carefully, “If, if I say I guessed it, will you believe me?”

“Where are you.” Julian’s voice was menacing.

“I... I am not in Ningcheng City! I am out on a trip.” Seth answered quickly.

“Good,” Julian snickered, “I am going to your house right now.”

“No, seriously, don’t come. I’m really not at home! Even if you come, no one will answer the door for you!” Seth babbled. “Julian, this matter, I think…”

Julian ended the call.

Seth blanked out, and the robotic beeping of the phone echoed around the room.

Seth fell into despair.

“AHHHHHHH!”

He cried in agony and slapped himself repeatedly across the cheek. “Speak more, speak more! Have you got nothing else to do?!”

And yet, it was too late to regret.

Julian was already on his way, and based on his driving speed, he would probably arrive in less than 20 minutes.

Seth stood up and paced around the room.

What should he do? What could he do?

Should he just kneel before Jacob and Susan and beg for forgiveness?

Or help them escape?

However, it was a bit too late to run away now…

Besides, Julian sent so many people to search the town, so it would be extremely difficult to hide from him.

Unfortunately, if they did not run away now, Julian would arrive anytime now.

Seth felt like his life was miserable.

What if Jacob thought that he broke his promise and stopped working with him?

“Don’t be shy, voice your feelings bravely.” Jacob said seriously, “Susie is an amazing person. There’s nothing wrong with having feelings for such a good woman.”

“Susan is quite good,” Seth agreed subconsciously.

“See, Susie. He likes you.” Jacob looked at Susan proudly.

Susan was a bit embarrassed, “Quit lying, Jacob.”

“Yeah, yeah. This is not something to joke about.” Seth quickly added.

Jacob’s expressions grew even more serious. “Seth, don’t beat yourself up. If you like someone, you must say it bravely. Although you are a bit annoying and a bit too talkative, I still think you’re slightly better than Julian.”

“No, it’s not that I’m not confident. It’s not what you think... “ Seth was just about to explain.

Jacob interrupted him again, “Is it because you feel that Susie is too good for you? Well, you’re kinda below my standard, but if you promise to treat Susie well, I won’t stop you from pursuing her.”

Seth was dumbfounded, “Susie, I mean, Susan is really good, but I-”

Jacob suddenly stood up and grabbed Susan’s hands to put it into Seth’s, “I will temporarily hand Susie to you. Susie is not in a very good mood, so I hope you can cheer her up a little. At the very least, don’t upset her the way Julian Shaw did.”

Susan was amused, surprised that Jacob had noticed the change in her mood, but…

Even if she was upset, there was no need to cheer her up this way.

Susan was just about to speak when the door suddenly opened.

Everyone turned to look at the intruder.

Julian was there.

His expression changed from panic to suspicion.

What did he just see?

Seth was kneeling on one knee, and Jacob was giving Susan’s hand to Seth?
