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

Chapter 294 Anna's Background

Looking at Jacob’s aloof mien, Susan felt very much tickled.

Feeling the stare from his younger sister, Jacob checked himself. He was wearing his clothes correctly, so what was Susie laughing about!

Susan repressed her chuckles and said, "Let’s go."

The place Anna was locked in was not too far away from the mansion. Julian did not mistreat her, merely confining her in a simple suite. The amenities were comprehensive and her meals were sent on time. The only restriction was that Anna was not allowed to go out with someone specifically guarding the door.

From Julian’s grudges toward plants, this seemed to b e light-handed of him. It was also because his subconscious did not think that Anna was the mole they were looking for too.

Otherwise, he would not have locked Anna up and set up an elaborate trap to test Skyler.

There was already a bias in Julian's mind. It was just that psychologically, he was reluctant to accept the fact that it was Skyler.

The suite was not shabby at all, but Anna had still gone through the half-month in pain. It was not physical pain, but more of an emotional one. She kept recalling Jacob's hateful gaze the other day and was engulfed in inexplicable sorrow.

Jacob must have hated her.

If she had done it, she deserved it. She would not even fight it. Yet, she did nothing. She was even kidnapped and went through the trauma of it. If it had not been the martial art skills that her father and older brother had forced her to pick up, she would not even have made it out.

When she finally escaped, the first person to pop into her head was Jacob! With the delight of surviving the terror, she was, instead, welcomed by Jacob's doubt and hatred.

Once Anna remembered the scenario, she felt her eyes moistening.

"I can't cry!" She wiped her tears swiftly. "Dad said that the Wrights bleed but they do not cry."

In spite of it, the more she wiped her tears, the more wronged she felt.

Anna picked up a pen angrily and wrote on a piece of paper with unnecessarily powerful strokes.

"Stupid Jacob, stupid Jacob, stupid Jacob."

Gritting her teeth, Anna repeatedly wrote the same phrase. Her force tore the paper.

"How dare you accuse me of something I didn’t do! If I see you the next time, I'll..." She was going to make a vicious threat when the door suddenly opened.

"Mr. and Mrs. Shaw." The door was opened as the man guarding it let a few people in respectfully.

When Anna saw the trio, her gaze involuntarily went t o Jacob.

She could not help scoffing, "Mr. Shelby, have you finally realized that you've wronged me? I'll have you know that I have quite the temper. If you don't apologize properly, I won't forgive you."

Jacob narrowed his eyes. With a sneer, he responded," Wronged you? You’re quite the actress huh?"

"You - you..." Anna was enraged and sprang up." Who’s acting? You’re still wronging me!"

"Whoever’s acting will know," Jacob replied icily.

Looking at Jacob's impassive face, Anna lost it and screamed.

Ahh, this stupid man was annoying!

Observing their interaction, Susan was humored. Why did the two of them feel like a quarreling couple?

Taking in Anna's seething look, Susan told her with a smile, "Anna, there are three of us here and you only saw my brother?"

Anna was stunned for a moment before she noticed Julian and Susan.

"Mrs. Shaw." Anna noticed Susan's slightly bulging stomach when she looked at her and worry flashed in her eyes. "You’ve... decided?"

Understanding what Anna meant, Susan smiled and answered calmly, "Yes. Whatever it takes, I'll risk it with my baby as long as there's a chance."

It was a matter of life and death, but Susan’s peaceful state was not stained with the fear of facing death. She was so calm despite the threat of death. It was in incredible courage.

Anna could not help admiring Susan as she wished her in a hushed tone, "Mrs. Shaw, you're blessed.

You'll be alright."

"If you didn't spoil the plan, would we have ended up here now? How dare you speak about it?" Jacob accused.

This woman Anna was acting again.

"Jacob Shelby!" Anna quit addressing him as Mr.

Shelby as she was positively fuming. "I'm telling you again, the whistleblower isn't me - it isn’t me!"

Jacob still did not look like he believed her.

Anna felt a pang in her heart.

Susan let out a discreet chuckle and told Anna with a smile, "Anna, ignore him. I believe you."

Anna's eyes glowed as she looked at Susan happily." Mrs. Shaw, you really - really believe in me?"

"I do." Susan's gaze was tender with her resolute answer.

It was strange, but the first time she saw Anna, she felt an exceptional sense of familiarity. Even when there were still doubts on her, Susan still believed her subconsciously. She had never felt this way before. There was probably some crossing of fate between her and Anna. 2

A smile tugged at the corners of Anna’s lips.

Mrs. Shaw believed her! It was great! This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Susie, don’t be deceived. This woman can act," Jacob said coldly.

Anna’s smile froze as she shrieked and picked up a pillow to throw at the man.

"Stupid, how are you apologizing to me if I prove my innocence!"

"Prove it first and we'll talk," Jacob replied as stoically as he avoided the pillow.

"Just! You! Wait!" Anna would die to stomp right to Jacob and fight him. She was confident that the

sickly Jacob was not her worthy opponent anyway.

In spite of it, she would temporarily let the stupid off the hook for Mrs. Shaw.

"Actually, it's simple for you to prove your innocence," Julian spoke up faintly.

"How?" Anna's eyes shone again.

"You aren't from Ningcheng City, right?" Julian asked. "Tell us your real identity. I’ll have someone check it. I f you’re unrelated to Joseph and Luke, you’ll prove

your innocence then."

Anna was put in a dilemma.

Julian’s men had asked about her true identity previously, but she did not tell them. After all, she had run away from home this time. If her identity was exposed, time would be ticking for her to go home.

She had yet to find her older sister, so she was not going back.
