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

Chapter 360 The Identity Of The Pawn

The sea breeze brushed long strands of hair across Serenity's delicate face, toning down her oppressive aura.

Her soothing voice had calmed down Susan as well.

Serenity wrapped her arm around Susan's shoulder, allowing Susan to rest her head on her shoulder.

If one looked from afar, the image of two girls sticking up for each other was really touching and harmonious.

"Boss, is it good for Serenity to be so close to Susan?” a confidant standing beside Joseph asked. He was a little worried when he saw the scene.

A mysterious smile crossed Joseph's face. "What’s wrong with that?"

The confidant hesitated for a moment but then proceeded to express his concern. "Miss Serenity still doesn’t know her identity. What if she refuses to do it i n the future?"

As he narrowed his eyes, the smile on Joseph's face contorted into an evil grin. "Sometimes, as humans, w e can’t choose where we come from. In her case, she can only depend on us in the end. Once that man decides to use you as his pawn, there is no way you can escape from his control. She will not be an exception." 1

While Joseph was talking, an unspeakable forlornness and sadness were flowing behind his gaze. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

While looking at Joseph's indifferent profile, the confidant let out a soft sigh. He had been following Joseph for a long time, so it went without saying that h e understood the forlornness behind his eyes.

That man was really powerful. Even his boss could not free himself from his control, let alone Miss Serenity. N o matter how close she was to the Wrights or Susan, she would still become his pawn when that day came.

"But boss, why can't we tell Miss Serenity the truth in advance? Maybe it is not as bad as you think," the confidant could not help asking.

Joseph sneered as a dark glint flashed across his eyes. "Susan is not stupid. If you don't treat her with sincerity, she will never treat you the same way. Serenity is still kept in the dark right now. She cares for Susan genuinely. Susan feels this, which is why she's willing to let down her inner guard. If we let Serenity know her true identity and true mission in advance, she might not be able to hide it from Susan.”

The confidant was shocked. He had not expected Joseph to have already thought so far ahead. When he looked at Susan and Serenity, his heart went out to the two girls.

Undoubtedly, their friendship was unbreakable right now. The question was whether their friendship would be able to withstand the lies, deception, and betrayal that would soon befall them. Would they still be friends after Serenity's true identity was revealed?

He could not help sighing when he thought about it.

Joseph threw a sidelong glance at his confidant and then said, "Rainn, I don't want you to mention Serenity's origins anymore, got it? The time is not ripe yet. I'll forgive you this time, considering that you've been following me for a long time. However, if I ever hear you talk about something that you shouldn't be talking about again, I guess you will discover the consequences."

A chill ran down Rainn's spine as he quickly replied," Understood, boss."

Joseph threw another cold gaze at Serenity and Susan before turning around and walking away.

After going through this tribulation, Joseph was certain that their relationship would become even better.

However, that was still not enough.

He wanted them to grow even closer. He wanted them to become inseparable. Only then would he put his plan into motion.

'When that time comes, I would like to see what kind o f decision you will make, Serenity. Unfortunately, no matter what you choose in the end, your fate is already sealed so nothing will change. This is your destiny as a pawn.'

The gears of the world were moving, and they were heading toward a future filled with turbulence.

However, right now, Susan and Serenity were snuggling up against each other, using their most sincere feelings to warm each other up.

Their days at sea were calm.

15 days later, Joseph led them to an island full of modern facilities. When Serenity and Susan disembarked from the ship, they were stunned by the scene before them.

Especially Serenity. As a daughter of the Wrights, she was very familiar with modern facilities. Thus, the more she looked at the island's defense mechanism, the more worried and scared she felt.

'Is Joseph really the head of a gang?'

After all, this defensive mechanism was the highest-end mechanism she had ever seen. Most of the devices were owned exclusively by an overseas organization that never sold them in Canada.

It had now occurred to her that Joseph was not as simple as he seemed to be. At the very least, he should be a central figure of this overseas organization.

Serenity got lost in her thoughts.

'Considering his identity, I suppose he did not only target Julian by abducting us.'

Apparently, he was also targeting Lanyard, or maybe h e even wanted to destroy the Wrights.

A bad hunch stirred in Serenity's heart. She could feel that a huge web was being weaved. Would she and Susie be able to break free from this web?

With that thought in mind, Serenity looked at Susan and made a decision. It had taken her parents' plenty o f effort to get Susan back to their side. If something were to happen to Susan, she was certain that her mother would not want to live anymore. Therefore, no matter what, she would protect Susan until she returned to the Wrights even if it cost her life.

The moment Serenity made up her mind, her nervousness ebbed away and she calmed down.

Susan could not read the thoughts in Serenity's head. Even though she could tell that those devices were not ordinary, she did not think too much about them. Therefore, she was pretty calm right now.

Joseph drove Serenity and Susan to the deepest part o f the island.

There was a lake in the heart of the island, and there was a small piece of land in the center of the lake. The land was filled with buildings.

Since this land was in the center of the lake, they could only use a ship to get there. After half an hour, they finally arrived at their final destination.

The buildings there were not large, but they were all essential facilities. There were residential buildings, a hospital, and even a minischool. However, the

building that stood out the most was a mansion.

The mansion was where Joseph stayed.

As they moved toward Joseph's mansion, a lot of the residents came forward and greeted them warmly. Some of them even stuffed vegetables and fruit into their car.

When a resident rushed over and handed a bunch of carrots to Joseph, Susan was startled.

Just as she thought Joseph was going to do something to the resident, he just accepted the bag of carrots calmly and even thanked the resident.

Then, he asked Rainn to pay the residents afterward.

Many residents came up to them and stuffed all sorts o f things into their hands. By the time they arrived at Joseph's mansion, their car was filled with vegetables and fruit to the brim.

The residents did not know that Susan and Serenity were Joseph’s hostages, so they had given them a lot o f things.

Serenity and Susan were speechless. It seemed that Joseph was quite popular there.
