The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 120 Jenkins Corporation Is Going to Cooperate With Lanyard Construction

Susan closed the gossipy group chat directly.

She then looked up the local news casually.

Suddenly, a topic caught her attention.

"Richard's illegitimate son won the lawsuit. He's going to inherit the great property."

'Richard's illegitimate son?'

Susan clicked on the news and looked at it roughly.

It was the news.

Richard did not leave any will behind. All his properties would be divided in half. According to the law, one half would be given to his wife, and the other half would be divided equally by his three children.

At first, Madam Jenkins did not bother about that illegitimate son. She certainly did not think about letting him inherit the properties.

Unexpectedly, Moya filed a property lawsuit against them directly. At last, she won the lawsuit.

Now, the court demanded them to divide the Jenkins' properties again. Connor Jenkins would definitely be able to inherit the properties which were worth more than tens of millions of dollars.

'The Jenkins...'

Susan was in a daze.

It had been a long while since she paid close attention to the Jenkins' affairs.

Now, they were caught in such a lawsuit. Certainly, the Jenkins would be in a chaotic state by now.

She wondered whether Luke could handle that. 1

It lasted only for a split second. Soon, she ignored it.

Both of them had their own lives now. Luke was no longer the person whom she needed to care about.

At the Jenkins, there was a successive sound of something being broken or smashed in the room.

Luke reached the door.

The servant said nervously, "Young master, finally you're home. Madam Jenkins has been throwing a tantrum the entire morning."

"Alright." Luke nodded and entered the room.

He narrowed his eyes slowly as he took in the state of things in the living room.

Madam Jenkins was busy smashing things. Charlotte was by her side, trying her best to advise her against it. On the other hand, Mandy was eating fruits beside them. She seemed to be enjoying their misfortunes.

Suddenly, Luke had a terrible headache.

His family was living happily before.

He had a strict and solemn mother with a cute younger sister.

'When did it become like this?'

Luke pursed his lips and walked over to them. "Mom, what are you angry about again?"

"Again?" Madam Jenkins became much angrier when she heard that. "Do I like to be angry? My son, why do I have to suffer so for my entire life? I did this just for you and Charlotte. Now, all the properties are going to be divided and given to that b*stard child too. How could I accept it?"

However, Luke remained calm.

He said calmly, "Both Moya and Connor do not have such good plotting skills. At first, no one dared to force us to act according to the law even if they won the lawsuit. This time around, the court did not even allow us time to transfer the ownership of the properties. They forced us to divide the properties instead. Why do you think this happened?"

Madam Jenkins averted her gaze. After a long while, she said weakly, "How...am I supposed to know that?"

Luke said without any facial expression, "It's Julian. H e interfered with our affairs. But why did he help Moya and Connor? I'm sure you know about the reason more than I do, mom."

"Julian! How could he be such a fool? He didn't know his stand." Madam Jenkins screamed in dissatisfaction. "How could he offend us - the Jenkins - just because of Susan?"

In fact, the Jenkins had lost around a few million dollars because of that lawsuit.

"Not only that," Luke remained calm. "He even announced that if the Jenkins Corporation wants to cooperate with Lanyard Construction on the resort project, we must allow Moya to work on the project team. We must hire Moya to work at the Jenkins Corporation."

Madam Jenkins only knew about that incident now. Her facial expression worsened. She slapped the table and got up immediately.

"How could we hire that b*tch? It's impossible. I won't allow it, never!" Madam Jenkins screamed in a piercing voice.

Luke glanced at her calmly. Then, he said, "I've approved of it."

"What? You approved it?" Madam Jenkins almost went mad because of her intense wrath.

Her life had not been easy recently.

The infamous mistress wanted to snatch away her husband's properties. Mandy became more daring now as she would stand against her. On the other hand, the Ainsleys seemed to be rather dissatisfied with them.

She would accept it nevertheless.

However, Madam Jenkins tried her best to protect her son, but her son was not siding with her either.

Before that, he helped Susan and sided with Mandy. Now, he even wanted to hire Moya to work in the company.

It was clearly a great humiliation to her.

"No. I'll never agree to it. Luke, you must not hire her to work in the company." Madam Jenkins grabbed Luke's hand. "If worse comes to worst, we can abandon that resort project."

"Why should we abandon that project since we're going to make a profit which costs around a few million dollars?" Luke still appeared calm. "Besides, the problem now is that the other shareholders would certainly agree on that even if I said no. Then, they will approve of the proposal during the general shareholders' meeting. So Moya is definitely going to work in our company."

Madam Jenkins' legs became weak, and she soon sat down on the sofa.

Her hair was messy. She murmured, "How could this happen..."

"Mom." Charlotte patted Madam Jenkins' back immediately. Then, she threw an angry glance at Luke. "Brother, why did you say such things to mom? Are you trying to piss her off?"

Luke had complicated feelings about that. He was sad too when he saw Madam Jenkins like that.

But he knew very well that he should never allow both Madam Jenkins and Charlotte to act recklessly anymore.

They would not learn their lesson if they did not realize how bad the consequences were.

As he thought so, he became calmer. "I'm not trying to infuriate mom. But it's a fact. There are four influential families in Ningcheng City, which are the Shaws, the Jenkins, the Ainsleys, and the Wests. However, everyone knows that the Shaws are much more influential and powerful than the other three families. Even if we cooperate with the other three families, we might not even beat the Shaws. You framed Susan. You should be able to foresee such a consequence when you offended Julian at that time."

"Who the hell is Susan? I framed her once just by doing such a trivial thing. Did Julian have to take such a ruthless step against us?" Madam Jenkins said rather angrily.

For Madam Jenkins, Susan was still the pathetic young girl who picked up the notes one by one while kneeling in front of her.

She never treated it as a big deal when she framed Susan at that time.

Surprisingly, Julian took revenge on them so cruelly.

"Susan is now Mrs. Shaw." Luke seemed to be in pain, but he still said calmly, "It means that she carries the

Shaws' reputation too. You asked why Julian acted so cruelly. What happened recently was the results of you plotting against Susan. You better...learn your lesson now." Madam Jenkins became desperate. She regretted it slightly.

She thought that framing Susan was as easy as killing a mere chicken. Who would foresee such a terrible consequence?

Charlotte averted her gaze. She asked all of a sudden," Brother, does it mean that our Jenkins Corporation is going to cooperate with Lanyard Construction?"
