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

Chapter 200 Flogging A Dead Horse

As she was talking, Isabelle dropped to her knees in front of Susan. She pleaded, "Susie, I know I was wrong, please forgive me. I promise I won't do it again. I'm your best sister, do you remember? You'll forgive m e, right?"

Isabelle was very good at crying. Her tears never stopped flowing, like an ancient pool, as she was talking. She looked so pitiful that people might think Susan was the one bullying her if they did not know about the things she did.

Susan looked stern and disappointed at her. "That's enough, Isabelle. You can't just say that you can’t help yourself and expect me to forgive you. If you really think I'm your sister, you wouldn’t have done such a thing at all."

"Susie, I know it’s all my fault. My feelings just got the best of me," Isabelle sounded breathless from all the crying. "I wasn’t trying to snatch Mr. Shaw away from you. I was just hoping that I could get some of his attention by faking it as Little Flower. Even if you didn't find out the things about the diary, I was going t o confess everything to you and return Mr. Shaw to you anyway."

Isabelle looked really pitiful when she was crying.

Julian raised one of his brows and turned to Susan. H e knew Susan had a soft heart, so he feared that she might be lenient toward Isabelle. However, what surprised Julian was that there was no emotion on Susan's face.

She stared at Isabelle coldly as she said, "Do you really think I'm an idiot, Isabelle? You're going to confess everything to me? If you really think so, then you wouldn't have posted that status to get me away from Julian. You wouldn't have asked somebody to follow m e in secret, and you wouldn't have sent him..."

Susan pointed at Wayne and continued, "To pretend to be Little Leaf and deceive me!"

"Who is he? I don’t know him at all!" Isabelle wept when she looked at Wayne.

Susan did not know whether to laugh or get angry at Isabelle. She could not believe that Isabelle still thought they would fall for her trick. She said calmly," When you were at the door, you didn’t look like you didn't know him."

Isabelle swiveled her eyes and said, "I really don't know him, Susie! Did you hear wrong? You said this man pretended to be Little Leaf? Oh my God! How come he knows about the things that happened between you and Mr. Shaw when you were kids?"

Isabelle looked surprised. Then, she gazed towards Yvonne and her eyes grew big as if a light suddenly broke in upon her, "It's you right, Yvonne? You’ve read Susie’s diary as well! It’s you who told everything to Wayne and asked him to pretend to act as Little Leaf. I can't believe you would do such a thing, sister. I'm

really disappointed in you."

Yvonne was stunned when she realized everyone was looking at her. It took her quite a long time to comprehend the things Isabelle had said. Her widened eyes filled with disbelief as she could not believe her sister was pushing all the blame onto her. She jumped up in rage. "What the hell you're talking about, Isabelle? I don’t know this man at all!"

"Stop pretending, Yvonne. You’re the only person here who is capable of such a vicious deed."

"You b*tch! How dare you try to make me your scapegoat. In your dreams!"

The sisters began to quarrel before Susan could say anything.

A deep sense of helplessness rose from her heart when she saw Isabelle like this.

After Julian told her about Isabelle's true face, she had already psyched herself up and tried to think the worst of her. However, she did not expect that Isabelle had fallen far lower than she imagined.

Susan felt sad. She did not understand how Isabelle would become like this. She remembered she used to b e a charming girl as well, and she was certain that she had never done anything bad to her before.

Looking at the hurtful expression that consumed Susan's face, Julian rubbed her head and his eyes turned cold.

A long time ago, he had warned Isabelle before that she should never make Susan cry, or he would kill her. However, he changed his mind now. He did not want her dead anymore. For a person like her, dead was too kind. Right now, he wanted her to suffer. He wanted to torment and make her life a living hell.

He did not want to listen to whatever b*llsh*t Isabelle was going to say anymore, so he darted a glance at Wayne.

Receiving his gaze, Wayne took out his phone and played a recording. Everyone went silent as the voice from the phone filled the room.

"I'll give you one million if you make Susan fall for you. This 500 grand will be the deposit. You’re the top male host, so it shouldn't be a difficult task for you, right?"

"Don’t worry. After you destroy Susan, I'll become Mrs. Shaw. At that time, I'll do whatever I can to keep you safe."

"I know it's hard to do it in Ningcheng City. She is a prideful woman so I'm pretty certain that I will be able to force her to leave. In case if she refuses to leave, I will do whatever I can to hold Julian and make an opportunity for you to approach her."

The voice belonged to Isabelle.

Susan had listened to the recording once, but she still felt angry when she listened to it again.

Up until now, she still could not think of what she had done to Isabelle. Why would she hate her so much, and why she was so hellbent on destroying her?

Isabelle's expression changed. She wanted to charge forward to snatch the phone away, but she was held down by the bodyguards around her.

The recording continued.

"She has just broken up with Julian, so it should be easy for you to take care of her right? After all, you’re Little Leaf right now.”

Tm running out of time, so we need to speed things u p now. Make sure you take care of her tomorrow. After you’re done with your mission, I will give you the remaining 500 grand."

"I’ve sent the photos to Julian. He should be on his way now and I guess he will arrive in three hours at most. Make sure you leave the best scene for him, do you hear me?"

Isabelle's voice was cold and emotionless in the recording. It was entirely different from her pitiful face in reality.

After the recording, Susan looked at Isabelle, "What do you want to say now?"

Isabelle did not look at Susan but stared angrily at Wayne, her face contorted into a macabre grimace as she hissed, "How dare you record our conversation."

Apparently, she finally had given up pretending to be weak and helpless.

"Of course I have to record our conversations. In case you go back on your words, I'll have something to back me up," Wayne said.

Looking at Wayne, Isabelle understood that the man did not keep his promise at all. Perhaps he had already told everything to Julian.

She gritted her teeth and asked again, "So you were lying to me when you told me that Susan was madly i n love with you?"

"Well, you pushed me too hard. I had no choice as well," Wayne shrugged his shoulders.

"You idiot!" Isabelle finally snapped and shouted," You've ruined everything!"

Why?! Why?! Why?!

She worked very hard for her plan and Susan did nothing. In the end, she got nothing, but Susan got everything she wanted.

Why was the world so unfair to her?

"I don't know if you have heard about this before, but this is what people mean when they say, 'flogging a dead horse,"' Wayne sneered. Then, he turned to Julian and Susan and continued fawningly, "Mr. and Mrs. Shaw's love is as firm as a rock. There is no way I can cut into them." Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Right now, he just wanted to ingratiate himself with Julian so that he could be lenient on him.

"Mr. Shaw. It’s all her doing. We don’t know anything," Mr. Shelby quickly made his stand after he got the rough picture of the entire situation.

"Is that so?" A spurious smile crept onto Julian’s lips.

Mr. Shelby's heart made a somersault in his chest. Then, he gritted his teeth, walked up to Isabelle, and gave her a slap in the face.
