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

Chapter 170 Does She Deserve It

Luke had rather complicated feelings.

He indeed wished that Susan could lead a happy life.

But he was filled with unspeakable feelings when he saw how deeply in love Julian and Susan were. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Luke, it's almost over now. I think we can leave." Mandy could not help but say that.

Luke recovered his wits and said calmly, "Sure."

The party had come to an end. Both Julian and Susan were busy sending the guests off.

When Luke and Mandy were on their way out, Susan saw them and she was slightly surprised. Then, she smiled and said, "Mr. Jenkins, Mrs. Jenkins, goodbye. Have a safe trip home."

Luke fixed his eyes on her. Her eyes were clear and calm without any other emotions.

It seemed like Susie had indeed...let go of the past and him now.

Mandy nodded vigorously and grabbed Luke to leave.

However, Luke did not budge. He looked at Susan intensely. "Susie, are you leading a happy life?"

He was aware of how good Julian treated Susan.

There was even a bright smile on Susan's face which h e had never seen before.

But he still could not help but inquire about that.

Moreover, he did not even know what kind of answer h e wanted at that moment.

Susan was stunned for a short while. She soon smiled and replied, "Yes, of course."

She made a swift response without any hint of hesitation or reluctance.

Luke's eyes became gloomy gradually.

"That's good. I'll leave now." He forced a smile and left with Mandy.

Susan watched as Luke disappeared from her sight. She was about to turn around.

Suddenly, she heard Madam Shaw’s voice. "Susan, what did you say to Luke just now?"

"Yes?" Susan was shocked. "Nothing. He was leaving s o I saw him off."

"Is that so? I saw you standing there for quite a long time. Did you have to linger there long when you were just seeing him off?" Madam Shaw sounded stern. " Susan, remember your status now. You’re Mrs. Shaw. Your past love life is indeed humiliating. You should have avoided Luke, but you didn’t. How could you still speak to him?"

Susan could not help but say, "I just spoke to him for a short while..."

Madam Shaw's voice became colder. "Isn’t that too much? How long did you want to speak to him? You’re Mrs. Shaw. Don't act like a disloyal woman."

Susan was tongue-tied.

What did she do? When did she become a disloyal woman?

But she knew perfectly well about Madam Shaw's characteristics. If she wanted to defend herself, she would only complicate matters.

So Susan could only endure her snide remarks.

"I haven't finished!" Madam Shaw continued to say sternly, "This is such a grand party. How could Julian organize such a party just to celebrate your success? Susan, you didn't earn the money and properties.

Don't you feel rather bad to let Julian waste it like that?"

Susan felt like she was being treated unfairly. "I didn't H

"I persisted in doing so." Julian walked toward them. There was a faint crease between his eyebrows. "Mom, why are you telling Susan those things? I'm the one who insisted on holding the party. If you have any problem with it, just tell me.”

"I'm about to!" Madam Shaw appeared extremely dissatisfied. "If you want to spoil your wife, you need t o know your limits. You overreacted today. It's fine even if you lost your mind, but Susan should know to persuade you against it. I was right. She's indeed not a good and responsible wife." 2

Madam Shaw was greatly upset. She thought that Julian had come to his senses, and that he realized the importance of engaging in social activities now. But he spent extravagantly just to celebrate Susan's success.

What was that for?

Did he have to spoil his wife like that?

"Mom, Susie and I picked up a set of jewelry for you last month. You seemed to like it very much." Julian pointed it out all of a sudden.

Madam Shaw did not know why Julian changed the topic all of a sudden. She nodded. "Yes, it's rather good."

"That set of jewelry costs around a million dollars,” Julian said seriously. "The money I spent on this party was not half as much as that set of jewelry. Mom, if I was being extravagant by holding such a party, then was I being extravagant too by giving you such an expensive set of jewelry?"

"You..." Madam Shaw was so angry that she became speechless.

Julian did not intend to humiliate Madam Shaw. He softened his tone. "Mom, I announced that I held the party just to celebrate Susie's success. In fact, it also meant that Lanyard Construction had won first place since Susie was the champion. Didn't I just promote Lanyard Construction indirectly?"

"Fine, I know now." Madam Shaw forced herself to accept that. "I'll stop talking about it then.”

Although Madam Shaw seemed to have let it go, she was still upset.

Previously, Julian was not on good terms with Susan. Madam Shaw was dissatisfied to see Susan unable to handle her husband well.

Now, they loved each other deeply.

Madam Shaw found herself much more upset.

She wondered how Susan could deserve Julian, being treated in such a nice way.

Did she deserve that?

Madam Shaw rushed to the entrance angrily.

Suddenly, she heard a gentle voice behind her.

"Madam Shaw."

Madam Shaw turned around and saw Isabelle looking at her with a delicate face.

Madam Shaw narrowed her eyes and responded immediately.

"Oh, it’s you." Madam Shaw sneered. "Is anything the matter?"

Isabelle smiled and said gently, "Madam Shaw, I came to apologize for Susie. I saw...her talking to Luke just now. Luke is her ex-boyfriend. She should...really act prudently."

Madam Shaw’s facial expression became better after she listened to Isabelle. She could not help but say, " Aren't you her cousin? Why don’t you side with her?”

Isabelle softly said, "Just because she’s my cousin doesn't mean I can just stand by and do nothing when she's wrong. Moreover, your health should be her priority. I'm worried to see you being so angry at her. I f your health is influenced because of your anger, Susie is indeed unpardonable.” 1

Madam Shaw could not help but look at Isabelle directly now. She was quite satisfied. "You’re sensible, and you talk prudently."

Previously, she commented on Susan's behavior for a short while before Julian came rushing all the way to her and defended Susan in front of her. Madam Shaw was indeed quite annoyed with it. Now, Isabelle was Susan's relative, and even she knew that Susan was wrong.

It seemed like there was a person who was sensible and reasonable after all.

"I’m just telling the truth," Isabelle said gently." Madam Shaw, I see that your facial expression is not that good. Do you feel sick? Why not let me give you a massage? I’m quite good at that."

Madam Shaw found her pleasing to the eye. She could not help but say, "You’re a guest here. That seems imprudent.” "Nothing of the sort," Isabelle said immediately. "I'm Susie's cousin, and you're her elder. So, you're my elder too. It's natural and reasonable for me to take care of you. Please don't reject my kind offer."

Madam Shaw looked at how sincere Isabelle appeared. She became much more satisfied.

"Fine. I’m about to head home. Why don’t you come along?" Madam Shaw said. 1

"Sure." Isabelle agreed to her suggestion excitedly.
