The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 519 Messiah

A maniacal expression manifested on Willa's face as she spoke.

The atmosphere dropped below zero when the crowd heard what Willa had said. They all turned to look at the old man and Willa with bewilderment written all over their faces. What were they talking about in the recording? The virus in their body would be completed soon? Destroying the world?

Even though they knew every single word in their sentences, when they put the words together they felt like they were listening to some kind of ancient Greek language.

The kind expression on the old man's face melted away when he heard the recording. A dark glint shone from the depth of his eyes as he asked, "Where did you get the recording?" "I have my own ways," Joseph replied indifferently.

"Your own way? Don't make me laugh, please. It's in the ring, right? The bugging device." The old man's face turned gloomy as he looked at the ring on Willa's finger.

"No. That's not possible." Willa placed her hand over the ring subconsciously.

Julian had given her this present. There was no way it could be the reason.

The old man cast an indifferent gaze at Willa. "You moron. You still can't get it around your head, can't you? It's very obvious that it's Julian who set us up. He's clearly coming at us this time. I assume that something must have happened to

Susan.' "This is impossible!" Willa shouted. "It must be a misunderstanding, master. Julian would never do this to me."

She had already lost once. This was her second chance, so Willa did not believe that she would lose again.

She was so pretty and noble, and she was the most perfect woman. Susan was completely out of her league, not to mention there were so many problems between her and Julian. By right, Julian should choose her over Susan without any hesitation.

'That's right. There is no way Julian can resist my charisma. The problem must not be with the ring.'

The old man was exasperated at Willa. He set his jaw tight and glowered, "I thought

you had Julian Shaw under your control, but who would've known that it was way round? Julian has been taking advantage of you the whole time, and you're still trapped in your foolish fantasy. Willa, I thought you'd learn from your failure and be more mindful this time. Never did I expect for you to still fall for his trick. I'm so disappointed in you."

"This is impossible, this is impossible.

Julian loves me. He loves me-there's no way he'd do this to me..." Willa mumbled like a lunatic.

"Hmph!" The old man harrumphed, "You are beyond hopeless. Can't you see that this is a trap that Julian and Joseph set up? Snap yourself out of it, you moron!"

"I don't believe it." Willa ignored the gravity of the situation and glared at Joseph."

Where is Julian? I want to see him. I want

to see him now.'

Joseph's eyes glowed strangely looking at Willa who was on the verge of breaking down. "I didn't know you were a devoted lover, Isabelle Shelby."

Isabelle Shelby...

Willa's body shook when she heard the name. Her reasoning came back to her. She gnashed her teeth as she calmed herself down and said, "What are you talking about? Who is Isabelle Shelby?" "Quit it. There's no way you can talk yourself out of this." Joseph said apathetically, "The conversation in the recording is enough for us to deduce your true identity. You're quite lucky, Isabelle. How did you escape from the fire?"

Joseph's voice was firm, and it didn't seem like he was lying.

For a moment, all color washed from Willa's face. However, she was not worried about what would befall her after her identity had been burst as the first thing that came into her mind was Julian. She turned to meet Joseph's eyes and asked," What about Julian? Does he already know about it?"

"Of course. He's the one who told me about it," Joseph replied coldly, causing Willa to become weak at her knees and slumped on the ground.

'Julian knew about it. Master is right... he is coming for us.'

Truth be told, she was fully aware that the ring was the thing that sold them out. After all, she had thoroughly checked everything she put on, and the only thing that could be installed with a bugging device was the ring.

Willa looked at the ring as a surge of sadness welled up in her heart. She wanted to take it off, but the moment her finger touched the ring, she put down her hand again.

Even if she was in a dire situation, she still could not bring herself to take off the ring. After all, the ring was a present from Julian.

"Alright, pull yourself together," the old man looked at Willa indifferently, "Stop acting like you've lost the whole world. You are my apprentice, so act like one. It really disappoints me that you would become like this because of a man."

Willa just gave a bitter smile in return.

Looking at Willa and the old man, a bad hunch rose up in Joseph's heart. Even though they did not own the supremacy of the situation, they seemed to be unusually calm toward Joseph. The old man still had the mood to lecture his apprentice while Willa still had the time to grieve. Neither of them seemed to be taking the situation seriously.

What had gone wrong?

Just when Joseph was immersed deep in his thoughts, the old man turned to look at him, his eyes calm and his expression serene.

"Joseph, I admit that you and Julian beat us to it this time, but did you really think that throughout the years of staying in Africa that we really wouldn't have any leeway for ourselves?"

Joseph moved his eyes up as a slight grin blossomed across the old man's face.

Just as the alarm in Joseph's heart went off, almost half of the people who were infected with the virus rose to their feet.

These people...

A kind of indescribable feeling welled up in Joseph's heart. "You..."

"Forgive us, boss," one of the men said apologetically, though he withdrew a gun without any hesitation and pointed it at Joseph.

"Woody, Sammy, Dorian... What the hell are you doing?" Rainn looked at them disbelievingly, "Boss treated you all like his family, and this is how you repay him? By going against him?"

"You are wrong. They are not betrayers. They have been on our side since the beginning," the old man smiled contentedly.

You..." Rainn's face was livid with rage. He wanted to say something, but Joseph stopped him.

Joseph scanned over the 60 to 70 people calmly and asked, "Even if you were on their side from the beginning, after going through so many life-or-death situations together, is it still not enough to change your mind?"

Julian seemed to be calm from the surface, but he was deeply disappointed with them deep down.

He bared his soul to them, yet they held him at gunpoint without any hesitation right now.

"Boss," one of them said apologetically, "You have been a very good boss, but we can't fall away from our faith. If you join us, we can still be brothers."

The old man smiled and chimed in, "That's right, Joseph, If you join us, we can build a new world together. When the new world is born, we will be the Messiah of the world

"With the new virus, we can inject antibodies to those chosen ones. They will be immune to the virus, while those low breeds would be killed by the virus. Try to picture it—a whole new world without any inferior breeds. Don't you think it's wonderful?" The old man spun to look at Joseph and the latter could see the zealous in the former's eyes. "Join us, Joseph. If you join us now, I'll give you the antibody. Then, together, we will change the world!'
