The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 199 I Can’t Help It

In the Shelbys.

Isabelle Shelby paced the room anxiously.

Today was the day she agreed to implement the plan.

She chose the right time to send the photos to the Shaws. She believed that Julian Shaw would rush to Susan Shelby immediately due to his concern for her.

If Wayne Lewis were to carry out the action as planned, it would certainly be an extremely interesting scene to behold when Julian entered through the door!

All men were proud creatures. Isabelle did not have the slightest hesitation to believe that Julian could not possibly be with Susan anymore from today onward regardless of how much he loved her. Perhaps, he would be so furious that he wanted to seek revenge on Susan.

By then, Susan would end up in a tragic state worse than her now.

"It's certainly going to work, it's surely going to work," muttered Isabelle continuously.

A few hours had already passed since the agreed-upon time.

She speculated that Julian had already succeeded in catching them in the act.

She had already discussed with Wayne prior that he would send her a text message if the plan was completed easily.

If there were any complications, Wayne was to insist that he and Susan loved each other mutually and were waiting for her help.

After all, Julian would certainly be furious after witnessing that scene. It would not be a good ending for Wayne for sure.

However, did Wayne not mention that Susan had already fallen head over heels for him?

Perhaps, Susan would even cry and call out to speak for him. On the other hand, Susan's action would only infuriate Julian even more.

"Susan, just a male host is enough to deceive you." An icy cold glint flashed in Isabelle's eyes. "You can't blame me for being ruthless, you can only blame yourself for being promiscuous!" 1 Isabelle waited anxiously.

All of a sudden, the sound of the doorbell was heard in the house.

"Who's there?" Yvonne Shelby went to open the door, then her impatient voice was heard saying, "Wayne Lewis? Who's that?"

Wayne Lewis? Why... Why would he come to the house?

Isabelle's eyebrow twitched once, then charged to the outside right away.

"It's probably a salesperson, drive him away," said Mrs. Shelby casually.

Mr. Shelby had his head lowered while reading the newspaper. He did not even bother to look up.

"Ms. Shelby." Meanwhile, Wayne could not help calling out to Isabelle upon seeing her.

"You know him?" Yvonne took a side glance at Isabelle.

Isabelle disregarded Yvonne and walked over to him anxiously. Then, she lowered her voice to speak, "Why are you here? I told you to send me a text if you had anything to tell me, right?" Wayne looked at Isabelle but he did not speak.

Isabelle could not help frowning. "What's actually going on? Do you still want the final payment?"

Wayne did not speak but he made way in silence.

Julian looked at her with a spurious smile from behind Wayne. "Isabelle, it's been ages since we last met."

Jul... Julian?

Isabelle stepped back in panic.

She would not panic that much if it was just Julian alone. Yet, Julian was there holding hands with Susan.

Judging from how they looked, they did not look like they had a fall out.

What was happening?

Could it be that Julian did not manage to catch them in the act successfully?

No, that was impossible.

Isabelle could not help glancing at Wayne while Wayne avoided her gaze straightforwardly.

Isabelle's heart was beating hard. She could not help sensing an ominous presentiment in her heart.

"Yes."

Julian disregarded and ordered the few black suit bodyguards standing behind him, "Enter and search in detail." "Yes, sir."

The bodyguards clad in body-fitting suits headed straight into the house and began searching the rooms.

Julian held Susan's hand and took a seat on the sofa in the living room.

The Shelbys were dumbstruck with bewilderment.

Mr. Shelby looked at Julian in fear. "Mr. Shaw, what... What's going on here?"

Julian took a side glance at him. "Don't rush it, we shall clear the debt little by little."

The more Julian behaved this way, the more fearful M r. Shelby was. He could not help walking to Isabelle and asking softly, "Did you get into trouble again?" Isabelle clenched her teeth and refused to speak.

It did not take long before a bodyguard walked out with a diary in his hand and passed it to Julian respectfully. "Mr. Shaw, I found it."

Isabelle's pupils constricted abruptly in shock!

The diary was found so quickly.

However, her expression was still relatively calm. The dumb woman Yvonne had already given away the matter with the diary. She was prepared for the upcoming scene.

Julian rifled through the pages before passing it to Susan. "Susie, this is the diary, right?"

Susan received the diary with a look of nostalgia lingering in her eyes for a moment. "This is it."

This was the diary used to record the bits and pieces of her friendship with Little Leaf. When Little Leaf moved away afterward, the diary was her only refuge.

Thus, she wanted to fight Yvonne when she thought Yvonne burned the diary.

Susan could not help looking at Isabelle upon reminiscing the past. "Isa, I thought you said Yvonne burned my diary? How are you going to explain the diary being found in your room now!"

Frankly, Susan still refused to believe that Isabelle had already begun to scheme and plot against her at the age of ten until now!

"Isabelle told you that I burned the diary?" Yvonne could not help looking toward Isabelle.

Yvonne was wondering at the time why Susan would suddenly charge forward to fight her.

She was still under the assumption that Susan was being impossible. So it turned out that it was because Isabelle said that?

Isabelle's ghastly face assumed a piteous expression as she was confronted by the watchful gaze of the people. "Susie, I did see my sister burn something at the time. Both of you were not on good terms at all, so I thought she was burning your diary. Afterward, I discovered your diary in a corner after you and Jacob left us. I hid the diary and thought about returning it to you in the future. I really didn't do that on purpose." 1

Isabelle was still trying to resort to sophistry at this point.

Susan could not help scoffing coldly once. "Is that so? We met too after my brother and I moved away. Why didn't you return the diary to me when we met?"

"I forgot at the time." Tears were glistening in Isabelle's eyes already. "Susie, please forgive me. I really forgot about it at the time."

Isabelle had it all figured out. Susan had always been a softhearted person. Susan would let the matter pass if she shed some tears and begged her.

"Forgot about it at the time?" Susan found it amusing. She said coldly, "Alright. I shall consider you forgot about this matter then! How are you going to explain why you pretended to be Little Flower by making use of the diary's content?"

"I..." Crystal clear tears poured out from Isabelle's eyes instantly. She said like a weeping beauty, "Susie, I admit that it's my fault in this matter. I only wanted to meet Little Leaf on your behalf at the time. However, Little Leaf was actually Mr. Shaw... I know that this isn't right but I'd already fallen deeply in love with her from the first time I laid my eyes on him. It's my fault for pretending to be Little Flower, Susie, but that is also because I love Mr. Shaw too much. I've been in so much pain and agony over the days. Yet, there's really nothing I can do when it comes to love. I really can't help it."
