The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 495 Return To The Country Immediately

The call was hung up.

Susan Shelby had mixed feelings.

What the heck was going on? How had her father gotten involved with Willa Doyle's identity?

However, her father would not possibly help Julian deceive her no matter what. Could there truly be nothing between Julian and Willa?

"Susie, will you believe me now?" Julian Shaw looked at Susan anxiously.

He rejoiced because, fortunately, George Wright was aware of the truth too, which made him a strong witness to Julian's innocence. Otherwise, it would have been hard for him to clarify the situation. Suddenly, he was furious. Why had he been so foolish that he had not thought of George sooner?

Susan looked at Julian in anticipation. She could not help pursing her lips. "Is it true that there's nothing between you and her?"

Julian was anxious. "Susie, even if you don't trust me, you should trust yourself. Willa can't even compare to a single finger of yours, so how could I possibly like her?"

Susan rolled her eyes and said in an ineffable tone, "I think she is rather pretty, and she is quite well-mannered as well."

"Pretty? How is that possible? There's no other pretty woman in this world except you," said Julian in an unusually stern manner. Then, he swore an oath to the sky.

The rock that had been weighing down Susan's chest lightened ever so slightly as she watched Julian being anxious beyond comparison.

However, she soon remembered something else. "So, you had no idea that Willa actually likes you?"

"Willa likes me? How is that possible?" Julian was stunned.

"Are you implying that I'm lying?" Susan was furious. "It was Willa who told me in her own words that she liked you. She said that it was you who took the initiative to ask her out to meet you previously. The reason she left was to stop coming between us. Don't tell me that you had no idea about her intention."

A look of shock flashed past Julian's eyes when he heard Susan's remarks.

Soon, a slightly nervous feeling crept into his heart.

"Susie, what are you talking about? Willa told you in her own words that she likes m e?"

"That's right!" Susan looked at him. "What's up with your tone? You sound like you don't trust me."

"No, I trust you, of course." Julian felt as if he was suddenly caught in a whirlwind.

He held on to Susan's hand and had her sit on a chair. Then, he said with a stern expression, "Susie, you must tell me clearly and concisely about every part of this incident right from the start. Don't try to hide even one word!"

Susan was a little stunned by Julian's sternness all of a sudden.

"Susie, this is very important! You must think it through and then describe it all to me in detail." Julian's expression grew even more solemn now.

Even though Susan was confused, she narrated the incident roughly to Julian under his glistening, watchful gaze.

"Just like I told you previously, the night before you two met up, I accidentally heard her talking to herself. She sounded as if she was caught in a dilemma. She said that you had asked her to meet up and wondered if she should go. The next day, she dressed up lavishly to leave. I followed her. Then, I saw you two speaking to one another from afar with intimate expressions on your faces." By this point, Susan was infuriated. "Speaking of that, why did you two huddle together so closely? What were you actually doing?"

Julian, who had been in deep thought, dared not delay upon being asked this question by Susan. He hastily recalled the scene that day at once.

He thought everything through in detail from start to end and then said, "Huddled closely together? Did that happen after the conversation?"

Susan grunted coldly once. "Don't you have any idea what I'm talking about?"

Julian hastily said, "Susie, you refused to let me see you at the time, so I had Willa take some photos of you and our daughter to show me. She must have taken out her phone to show me the candid photos o you and our daughter."

"Is that so?" Susan was hesitant. "But upon her return, she told me that she liked you and you had feelings for her too. However, she made the decision to back out and leave in order to prevent her presence from affecting our relationship. How are you going to explain that?"

"Susie, my love for you is undisputed. Willa was definitely lying. I don't know if she likes me or not, but I have never had any feelings for her," said Julian without the slightest hesitation.

Julian's response was resolute, adding validity to George Wright's confirmation earlier. Susan furrowed her brows ever so slightly but she believed Julian more now.

Most importantly, there were way too many coincidences now that she recalled.

If Willa had not taken the initiative to look for her that night and piqued her curiosity on purpose, she would never have gone looking for Willa and would not have listened to her soliloquy.

If Willa had not appeared before her on purpose prior to leaving the house dressed in her best the next day, she would not have followed her either.

If she had not found the book on Willa's study desk after Willa's departure, she would not have known that Willa was not Julian's high school classmate and the misunderstanding between her and Julian would not have gotten worse either.

She had been trapped in this situation right from the beginning. She was so sad that she had been distracted and prevented from noticing the numerous coincidences that had happened in succession, which were not normal on their own.

Susan reflected on these conflicting emotions.

Julian suddenly felt chilled with fear.

Susan would never lie to him!

As a result, Willa had truly committed many unwanted acts behind his back.

Susie still refused to forgive him now majorly due to Willa's contribution behind his back.

Julian thought deeply about this matter and realized that he had never known Willa before Joseph's introduction.

What reason did she have to target him and Susie?

If Willa had come bearing ill intentions, then Susie's virus treatment...

Julian was drenched in cold sweat from shock!

Susie's life was countless times more important than his own life to him.

He was not afraid that Willa was targeting him.

However, Susie's life was now in Willa's grasp.

He was not medically trained, so if Willa had played some ill-intended tricks during the treatment process, Susie's condition now would be...

At this thought, Julian started getting restless.

"Susie!" Julian grabbed hold of Susan's hand once again. "Prepare to pack up.

We're going back to our country at once!"

There was an ineffable uneasy feeling in his heart now. He needed to take Susan back to their country at once and examine her health condition right away.

The sudden change of the topic confused Susan. "Why?"

They had been living in the States during this period and had initially gone there to observe Luke Jenkins' situation up close so that they could rescue him conveniently at any moment. However, Luke had been cautious. They had stopped contacting each other afterward, while the person from the mafia gang had not seemed to notice anything wrong.

"I'll assign someone to monitor Luke's condition 24/7. If anything important happens, I'll arrange for someone to deal with it immediately too," said Julian instantly. "Let's not talk about Luke now. Why are we in such a rush to return all of a sudden?" inquired Susan curiously.
