The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 309 Susan’s Fear

"Jacob, I'm tired," Susan interrupted before Jacob could say anything, imploring him with tears in her eyes.

Her heart was trembling slightly.

Did her brother want her to reunite with the Wrights as well?

What would happen after she reunited with the Wrights? Would her brother not want her anymore?

Susan felt a pang of pain shoot through her heart.

She only wanted her brother. She did not want to become one of the Wrights.

Initially, she thought Anna was nice, but right now, she only wanted her to get out of her house.

Jacob was surprised by Susan's reaction as well.

He did not want to force her to do anything that she did not want to do, so he said, "Have a good rest, then."

Susan fled the dining hall as if she was being chased by a monster.

Staring at Susan's back, Anna gave Jacob's shin a kick and said exasperatedly, "I already told you to not be too straightforward. See, you scared Susie away!"

"Truth is the truth. No matter how I phrase my words, if Susan cannot accept it, she would not accept it,"

Jacob said with a frown. "In any case, the result will not change."

"I don't care. It's all because of you that Susie is angry with me now. You have to set it right for me," Anna said, pouting her lips.

Jacob did not say anything but only looked at Susan who was getting further and further away.

It occurred to him that Susan was not angry, but more like... She was scared?

What was the thing she was scared of?

In the room, Susan took a cushion and sat on the chair, staring blankly ahead.

Julian seemingly could understand her feelings right now. He put a CD into the CD player, and very soon, a melodious voice filled the room.

The singer was known as Alakina. She was considered as an A-listed singer, but she had a strange rule. She would only release albums. She refused to show herself in front of the public, and she had never held any concerts before. Be that as it may, her popularity was still very high in the music industry.

Everyone was saying that if Alakina was willing to show her face, she would certainly be able to gain even more fame than she had right now. Perhaps she would even become the top-notch singer in their country.

Susan had stumbled upon Alakina's song by chance, and she was attracted to her voice. Since then, she had to listen to her songs every single day. Thankfully, Alakina was a woman. Otherwise, Julian would be so jealous of her.

The second she heard Alakina's song, Susan's expression lightened.

She pressed her lips thin and said in an undertone," Julian, I... I am not Jacob's biological sister."

"Well, genetically, yeah," Jacob replied. 1

Susan continued to say, "Jacob and I grew up together. We have no one to rely on but only ourselves. How is there any possibility that I am not his sister? Jacob gave my hair to the Wrights. He must be suspicious of my identity as well. Now that he knows the truth, he would not want me as his sister anymore."

Tears began to well in Susan's eyes as she spoke, "He even helped Anna persuade me to reunite with the Wrights. He doesn't want me anymore. He really doesn't want me anymore."

A pregnant woman was very sentimental, so the despair in her heart right now was magnified by many folds. She felt as if her world was falling apart.

"Susie, even if you are not Jacob's biological sister, I believe that his feelings towards you will not change," Julian comforted.

"It will change." Susan's eyes were red around the rims. "Jacob gave them my hair, so he certainly doesn't want me anymore. He must think that I'm useless and that I'm a drag for him. Had it been not for me, he would have had a better life. He could've furthered his study at university and he could do the things he always wanted to do... He could..."

Before Susan could finish her words, somebody rapped at the door.

"Susie, could you open the door?" Jacob's voice rang out.

Susan grabbed Julian's hand as she shook her head." Don't open the door, Julian. I don't want to see him right now."

They were not biological siblings. She was afraid that Jacob would regret after sacrificing so much for an outsider. She did not want to see the loathing expression on his face, and most importantly, she was afraid that he would leave her behind alone. 1

There was no sound from the door for a moment. Then the door was pushed open from outside, and Jacob emerged from the door.

"I want to rest, Jacob." Susan shrunk behind Julian.

Jacob looked at Julian and said, "Julian, can you leave the room for a while? I want to talk to Susie in person."

Julian narrowed his eyes and then he said, "Okay."

It was better for the doer to undo what he had done. As such, only Jacob could help Susan to undo the knot in her mind.

"Don't leave me, Julian..." Susan refused to let Julian g o.

Jacob walked up to Susan and said, "Are you not willing to talk to me, Susie? You don't want to recognize me as your brother anymore?"

"No." Susie shook her head profusely. She involuntarily released her grip on Julian's hand.

"Susie, have a talk with Jacob. Call me if you need something, I'll be right outside."

After that, Julian then exited the room, leaving the space for Jacob and Susan.

Before he left, he closed the door.

Anna was waiting at the door. The moment she saw Julian, she asked, "Is sister alright?"

She assumed a piteous expression and she looked just like a small animal that had done something wrong.

Julian threw a sidelong glance at her and then said," Jacob will handle it. Besides, you shouldn't call her sister before Susie decides to reunite with the Wrights."

"But, but she is my sister," Anna replied stubbornly.

"If you want to push her even further away, you can keep calling her that," Julian said. There was no expression on his face.

He was very patient towards Susan, but not everyone had the luxury to enjoy this kind of treatment. Even if Anna was Susan's biological sister, he would not give her any special treatment.

"You..." Anna looked at Julian furiously and huffed," I'm sure Sister will reunite with us in the end. She just needs some time to think it over."

"It depends on her. If she isn't willing to reunite with you, it's fine for me too," Julian replied.

"What's wrong with becoming one of the Wrights?" Anna widened her eyes. "Besides, Oliver has returned to inform my mom and dad. I'm sure they are on their way here right now. At that time, nobody can stop us from taking sister away. Not you, not Jacob."

There was a hint of threat at the tail end of her sentence.

Jacob's face turned dark. 1

A dark glint flashed across his eyes as he hissed," Commander Wright has been an honest and upright hardliner throughout his entire life. Does he know that you have been using his name to browbeat people into doing your bidding?"

Anna had never seen this side of Julian before. Her face turned pale as she stammered, "That... that is not what I mean..."

"Let me tell you something, Anna Wright," Julian sneered, "If Susie chooses to reunite with you, I'll support her decision. However, if she refuses to reunite with you, there is no way you guys can take her away from me. Try me if you dare."

After that, Julian left.

Anna remained frozen stiff on the spot. She almost sh*t her pants and cried. It was just a slip of her mouth, and she would never want to force Susan as well. 1 'Julian Shaw... He is so terrifying.'
