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

Chapter 222 A Widespread Scandal

Julian exited the room after half an hour, his facial expression grim.

"What should we do to her now, Mr. Shaw?" the bodyguard standing beside the door asked.

A cold grin crossed Julian's face as he said, "Send her back to America."

"Ah?" The bodyguard was stunned. He did not understand why Julian would let her go so easily since it took them a lot of time to catch her.

"Not only are we letting her go, but we're leading the Ainsleys to her. I guess you don't need me to teach you how to do it, right?" Julian said, giving the bodyguard a knowing grin.

"Yes sir. I know what to do," the bodyguard replied.

Julian nodded with a cold glint in his eyes.

Richard's death haunted Susan for so long that it had become her nightmare. Be that as it may, he did not expect the truth to be so dark. It was unbearable, even for him.

'I guess it's time for us to tally up all your bad deeds, Madam Jenkins.’

According to the maid, Madam Jenkins was the mastermind behind Richard's death. Charlotte might know something about the inside story, but Mandy

and Luke were kept in the dark.

He reckoned that the reason Mandy was so desperate t o find the maid was that she wanted to use the maid against Susan. She thought her grandiose idea would help her to turn the tables, but little did she expect that the truth the maid had would count against her.

Right now, he had the key witness in his hand, and things were going to become very interesting.

The maid was released back to America. Then, Julian did something behind her and she was captured again by the Ainsleys who were wandering around her apartment in America.

The moment Madam Ainsley caught her, she phoned Mandy and told her the great news.

Mandy was overjoyed when she got the news. She said, "Mom, bring her back right away. Let me know when you've arrived. I want to have a talk with her.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

On that night, Mandy went back to her own house secretly and met up with the maid.

"Are you looking for me, Mrs. Jenkins?" The maid was a little startled when she saw Mandy.

Mandy squinted her eyes to study the maid for a moment and then asked, "I'm running out of time Jade, so I'll cut to the chase. I overheard the conversation between Madam Jenkins and Charlotte. Although I didn’t hear it quite well since I was too far away, I did capture a few key points. Madam Jenkins said that you own the key piece of evidence to Richard

Jenkins’s death, so they had no choice but to send you away.”

Jade was stunned for a while, and then she nodded." Yeah, I have the evidence with me."

"What kind of evidence is that? Tell me now!" Mandy shouted at Jade, her eyes filled with burning madness. "I want the evidence that proves that Susan i s the murderer!"

Mandy felt that Madam Jenkins was too stupid. She did not press charges on Susan because of Luke and she even cremated Richard’s body. Without any concrete evidence, it would be difficult to convict her o f the crime.

However, the maid had evidence that could prove that Susan was the killer in her hands.

This would be her final trump card. As long as she could get her hands on the evidence, Susan would be a t her mercy. At that time, it would be Julian and Luke's turn to come and beg for her.

"Susan? Evidence that proves that she's the murderer?” Jade looked puzzlingly at Mandy. It was apparent to her that Mandy had misunderstood something. The evidence in her hand had nothing to d o with Susan at all, but Madam Jenkins.

"Yes! You must have the evidence, hand it over," Mandy said, her eyes were bloodshot.

With the evidence, she did not have to fear Susan anymore and she could turn the tables in her favor.

Jade hesitated for a while and then said, "Yeah, I have it. That day Susan dropped an earring at the scene, and the earring was stained with Mr. Richard's blood."

"Where is the earring now?" Mandy's eyes shone.

Jade thought for a moment and then asked, "Mrs. Jenkins, Madam Jenkins has made it very clear that w e should never talk about this matter for the sake of M r. Jenkins. Perhaps you should get permission from Madam Jenkins first?”

"You don't have to worry about that." Mandy said impatiently, "I'm carrying Luke's baby. If you listen to me, I'll do everything I can to keep you safe. However, i f you don't... I would like to see if you're more important or the baby inside of me is."

Jade was seemingly startled by Mandy. She reluctantly fished the "evidence” earring that she dished up in advance from her pocket.

Mandy snatched the earring away, and she looked a little mad. "Susan, this time, I'm going to pay you back for the humiliation that I've suffered so far. Just you wait for it!”

Today, Susan felt a lot better so she asked Julian to accompany her for a walk in the garden.

Susan was enjoying the walk, but Julian was tense.

"Careful, there is a rock over there. Lift your feet."

"Why is there a water stain on the ground? Who was i n charge of cleaning here today?"

"Susie, there are three steps here, let me carry you over."

Along the way, Susan did not feel anything but Julian was sweating like a racehorse.

Tickled pink by him, Susan looked at him and said," Julian, I think you're overreacting a bit."

"It’s always better to be safe than to be sorry," Julian said. Then, before he could wipe the sweat off his face, he added, "Susie, I think that’s enough walking today. Let's sit down and have a rest."

Susan turned her head around and realized they had only been walking for a hundred or so meters. She decided that she would never ask Julian to accompany her for a walk anymore.

After Julian helped her sit down and rest at the side, Mama Jean rushed over with a document folder in her hand.

"Mr. and Mrs. Shaw." She sounded flustered. "We received a document. It’s from the court!"

"From the court?” Susan was curious.

Julian took over the document. He opened it up and a grin hopped onto his lips.

Inside the document folder was a court summons.

Susan went nearer to take a peek, and she was stunned. "The trial for Richard’s case will begin in three days?"

When she saw the name, the bloodied scene on that day filled her eyes and she bit her lower lips.

"Do you believe me, Susie?" Julian looked fixedly at Susan.

"Yes," Susan nodded instinctively.

"Okay. Now I have sufficient evidence to prove that you've nothing to do with Richard’s death. It was someone else that killed him that night," Julian said sternly. "And I know the identity of the killer."

It took Susan a while to process the things Julian said. When the implication of his words finally sank into her, she shouted, "The killer was someone else? Who is it?”

Smilingly, Julian rubbed her hair and briefed her through the entire story. Then, he said, "You’ve not been feeling well recently, so I didn't tell you anything as I don’t want you to get worried about it. On the other hand, I also want to see what kind of trick Mandy is playing. Truth be told, I didn’t expect this from her."

Susan took a while to digest the complicated relationship in this case before concluding, "So... We have to thank Mandy for leading us to the witness?"

"I guess she wouldn't want us to thank her either,” Julian scoffed, "Anyway, since the woman wants to play with fire, let's play fire with her. Besides, we can also make use of the opportunity to prove your innocence."

Susan nodded. Her brain was still a muddled brain."

Anything you say.”

Julian smiled, "Didn’t she want to use this case to threaten us? I have a good idea. Let us give her free publicity."

Susan blinked her eyes as she did not quite understand what Julian was going to do.

On the next day, news was circulating throughout Ningcheng City.

Richard Jenkins did not die of an accident, but he was murdered by somebody. And the murderer was none other than Luke's ex-girlfriend, the current wife of Julian Shaw—Susan Shelby!
