The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 320 Trial And Tribulation

Madam Shaw listened with intent, knowing that Julian made sense. She couldn't help feeling a little vexed. It was inopportune. Susan was a carrier of bad luck. After finally replaceing her biological parents, they were swept into a plight in a blink of an eye despite being rather influential!

If the Shaws wanted to leave the whirlpool of mess, the only possibility was Julian clearing ties with Susan but... would Julian do it?

Madam Shaw knew her son. Killing him was easier than asking him to leave Susan.

'Why were the Shaws all romantics?'

Madam Shaw grumbled in her heart but there was nothing she could do. She could only pray that the Wright's crisis would be solved as soon as possible.

"Remember to keep in touch with me if there's any issue when you both are in Skyking City. I'll be ready with countermeasures here too," Madam Shaw spoke grimly.

"Don't worry, I know what to do," Julian replied.

Susan spoke up softly looking at Madam Shaw. "Mom, thank you."

Madam Shaw's attitude was not the best but she couldn't be blamed as it was relevant to the rise and fall of the Shaws. She ultimately chose to understand it and for this, Susan was eternally grateful. Susan's gratitude was sincere, causing Madam Shaw t o glare at her without menace but she still said, "For what it's worth, remember that you're becoming a mother soon. Don't stand up for what you shouldn't be standing up for. Even if you don't consider yourself, think of your child!"

Madam Shaw's tone was stern but Susan could read the faint concern in it, nodding at the woman.

"Susie, I'll go to Skyking with you guys," said Jacob.

"No, you just got out of hospital, Jacob. You're still recovering. Besides, this has got nothing to do with you." Susan was restless.

Jacob smiled. "Those are your biological parents. You're my baby sister. How is this irrelevant to me? Also, it's been fixed in my schedule long ago to go to Skyking City. Initially, I'd have to go there a few days later if you didn't."

"Hmm?" Susan looked at him, puzzled.

Jacob explained, "After Seth's contemplation, we decided to locate the company for our system in Skyking City. However, there are still some matters that require our attention here in Ningcheng. So, Seth can only leave after the holiday, and I'd have to leave with him then. Now that you're going there, I'll just go with you guys in advance." "Hmm..." Jacob didn't sound like he was lying. Susan agreed after a moment of hesitation.

Julian had matters to make arrangements for while Jacob had to talk to Seth. All of them could only depart the next morning.

Susan lay in Julian's embrace with a slight guilty conscience the night before. "Julian, I'm sorry. I'm bringing you trouble again."

"What are you saying? Will you abandon me if something happens to Lanyard?" Julian raised his brows.

"Of course not," Susan answered frantically.

"Then, it's done." Julian rubbed her head while beaming. "We're one and the same. I'll care about who you care about as well. As long as it's something you want to do, I'll do it with you." The dim lighting softened his cold eyes. All of Julian's tender, loving fondness in this lifetime... Most of it was given to the woman in front of him.

Susan looked up at him and softly, she gave him a peck on the lips.

"Again." Julian closed his eyes, his voice a gruff pant.

"No way, the baby's watching." Susan blushed lightly.

"Then it isn't allowed to watch." Julian took a shirt and covered Susan's stomach before kissing her.

The next day, Jacob looked at Susan's slightly swollen lips with a knowing look.

Flustered from her brother's stare, Susan couldn't help replying, "It's a mosquito bite, Jacob."

"Sure, the mosquito's tough being able to survive this deadly winter, huh?" Jacob nodded seriously, not making it clear if he believed her or not.

Susan got even more unsettled, feeling like his brother had gotten meaner...

Unaffected by Susan's embarrassment, Julian was composed and changed the topic entirely. "Let's go. The private jet's ready."

A few hours later, the plane touched down in Skyking City.

Anna had informed them of the home address a long time ago, so Susan headed there directly without telling the Wrights.

In Ningcheng City, Skyler told Joseph about Julian's departure once he left the city.

"Julian Shaw said that he's traveling with Susan and passed the company to you, right?" Joseph found it hard to believe.

It was fine when Julian was still in Ningcheng despite not going to the office. He'd occasionally ask about how the company was doing. Now, he was leaving his work entirely to someone else?

"Maybe I've done fairly well this month and Julian Shaw has no qualms about leaving things to me," said Skyler. "Other than Madam Sham who asked about things sometimes, I'm basically in control of Lanyard." "Madam Shaw isn't a worrywart. She's just a woman, and she's well aged," Joseph sneered but his eyes narrowed. It seemed that Julian was so bewitched by his wife that he couldn't care less about his company now.

"Boss, it's the best time to act now that Julian isn't in. We mustn't miss this chance." Skyler got a little nervous.

There were a lot of thoughts that went through Joseph's head. After a long moment, he decided coldly. "In that case, we'll do it."

This was an opportunity sent from heaven. If they missed this one, Julian Shaw wouldn't give him a second chance.

Now that Lanyard was in Skyler's rein, they would absolutely win the battle if they worked together. Nonetheless, his efforts alone wasn't adequate to bring Lanyard down.

Joseph went to Luke. "Luke, Julian is out of Ningcheng City now. The best time to crush Lanyard is now! I need your funding and connections!"

Joseph's brimming confidence caused Luke to narrow his eyes. "Are you sure?"

"The current general manager of Lanyard is my inside man." Joseph said, "I've got a complete plan now, and I just need your cooperation. I've got more than eighty percent confidence to take it down!" 'More than eighty percent confidence!'

The probability was high but Luke was still a little hesitant. It would be good if his wager succeeded but what if they failed?

He dared not think about it.

"Luke, have you forgotten about Mom? She's still in jail. We're taking this revenge," Charlotte hissed through gritted teeth.

How deeply she loved Julian in the past was how much she hated him right now. When Lanyard was ruined, she wanted him to kneel down in front of her and repent!
