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

Chapter 245 Honeymoon

A wedding was supposed to be a grand event that every woman looked forward to and it was no exception for Charlotte Jenkins.

Even though she did not love Joseph Shaw, she still hoped that she could be a beautiful bride.

Yet, what did she get in return?

Her wedding was already way better than an ordinary person's wedding.

Yet, was she, Charlotte Jenkins, an ordinary person?

She was the elite socialite of Ningcheng City!

Who was Susan Shelby?

She was no one but a girl born into an impoverished family.

Now, Charlotte's wedding was destroyed by Susan's wedding into good-for-nothing.

Yet, they got married on the same day so it was hard for people not to compare their weddings.

Charlotte read the news articles on the internet and felt like the world was taunting her behind her back. She could not help having a mental breakdown and slammed the laptop and then lay on bed and bawled aloud.

Yet, regardless of how bad she felt and how recalcitrant she was, she was already Joseph’s wife now.

Joseph stood at the doorway and looked at Charlotte acting hysterically without any expression.

Joseph waited until Charlotte almost had enough of crying and raised her head before he cracked into a gentle smile. He walked over and wrapped his arm around Charlotte's shoulder gently.

"Get lost.” Charlotte jerked away in rage. "Joseph, you said that you were going to give me the most perfect wedding, yet what did I get in return? It didn’t resemble a perfect wedding at all and I’m going to become a laughingstock to everyone."

Joseph heaved a sigh and looked at Charlotte piteously, "Charlotte, I didn't expect that Julian would be so cunning either that he would strike us with the wedding affairs on purpose."

"If you had the capability, would you still be struck by him?" said Charlotte without showing any courtesy.

A wisp of coldness flashed past Joseph’s eyes but his voice turned even softer as he said, "Charlotte, I understand that you’re upset about marrying me. However, the situation has only developed to this extent completely due to Julian's fault for sabotaging me behind my back. Now that our two families have united, we will certainly be able to defeat Lanyard. As soon as Lanyard falls, Julian will have nothing. By then, I shall make him and Susan kneel before you and give you kowtows to see your forgiveness. How

about that?"

"You make it sound really good." Charlotte scoffed coldly then she looked at Joseph, "Do you have any plans to take down Lanyard?"

Joseph chuckled. "Lanyard Construction is deeply rooted in Canada. It won’t be an easy feat to take down a giant like this."

"Even a fool would know that," said Charlotte without showing the slightest courtesy.

"Don't rush, listen to me first.” Joseph’s smile remained as gentle as before. "However, no matter how strong Lanyard is, its only core is Julian Shaw. As long as Julian is taken down, Lanyard will fall as well naturally.”

"This is not nonsensical talk." Charlotte had already begun to frown.

Joseph remained smiling. "In the past, it was not easy to deal with Julian, but he has a fatal flaw now.”

Charlotte's expression changed ever so slightly." You're talking about..."

Joseph nodded right away. "Right, it’s precisely Susan. Susan is Julian's weakness now. If Susan falls, Julian will fall as well."

"Yet, Susan is pregnant now and Julian is treating her like his precious. It doesn't seem very nice to take action on her, right?" Charlotte could not help asking.

"It’s interesting that Susan has a fatal flaw too."

Joseph's smile turned even more ghastly all of a sudden. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Charlotte was confused. She could only look at Joseph in a daze.

Joseph rubbed her head. "Alright, don’t be angry anymore. All in all, trust me that I'll get you the best of everything in this world one day."

Joseph was a mixed-race person. Even though he looked more Canadian than American, his eyes were a s blue and deep as the sea.

Charlotte nodded subconsciously from being stared at by his affectionate gaze.

"Go to sleep. Leave the rest to me," said Joseph softly.

"Hmm," answered Charlotte.

"I'm going to the guest room." Joseph turned around and left the room.

Charlotte gazed after his departing silhouette and could not help biting her lower lip.

Yikes, now that she thought about it in detail, it was genuinely not Joseph's fault in this matter because he had already tried his best.

Moreover, even if Julian was the best of the best and Joseph was the worst of the worst, Joseph was deeply in love with her at the very least and this was the most important part.

Joseph was genuinely a kind, gentle-tempered man

too.

She told him that she was not ready yet on the first night of their marriage so he headed to the guest room straightaway without coercing her at all.

He behaved like a gentleman again today.

At the thought of Joseph's sapphire-like eyes, Charlotte heaved a sigh.

Since they were already a married couple, she would let him sleep in the room from tomorrow onward.

As for the man that was constantly hidden in her heart, she should have let him go since earlier.

"Julian, there will come a day that you will regret abandoning me," muttered Charlotte through her clenched teeth.

In the guest room, Joseph was meeting someone.

There was a faint coldness in his gaze. "Have you dispatched the order regarding that woman?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Shaw. All the orders have been dispatched."

"Alright then. Alert her to be prepared. I’m going to use her at any moment.”

"Alright."

The brief conversation ended with the corners of Joseph’s lips curved into a cold smile.

'Julian Shaw, I lost our first showdown.'

'However, I've already begun to plan for the second showdown.'

'I hope that you won’t be blinded by the sweetness of being newly wedded such that you won't even have the ability to return the strike. In that case, I'll be disappointed.'

'After all, I've identified you as the biggest opponent in my life.'

They had already headed to the Caribbean for the wedding photos so Julian and Susan had a beach honeymoon.

It was winter in Canada so it was still a fiery hot summer in the southern hemisphere.

Julian and Susan laid on the chairs lined across the beach. They enjoyed the sunbathing while they sipped on freshly-squeezed orange juice. They appeared extremely relaxed.

Susan squinted and looked at the layers upon layers o f waves that surged. She felt as if the entire world had quieted down.

Due to her pregnancy, Susan spent most of the days lazing on the beach and explored the shallow waters occasionally. At dusk, they strolled along the beach slowly, chatted, and picked a few

beautiful seashells occasionally.

At night, they could see the seawater shimmering with silver glint under the moonlight through the enormous French windows. Everything was perfect just like a dream.

Susan took a shower and laid on the bed while Julian rifled through the newspaper casually on the side.

Everything was normal just like any other day.

"Julian, it's time for bed,” Susan yawned.

"Alright." Julian laid down next to her and cuddled her in his arms quietly.

The atmosphere was perfect when Susan suddenly gasped aloud. 1

"What's wrong?" Julian looked at her anxiously.

"Hold on.” Susan's entire person tensed up.
