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

Chapter 111 Susan's Husband

In Universal Tower.

There were still some tears in her eyes after Susan hung up the phone.

She began to blame herself for not being able to hold herself back. Julian was still on his business trip, and i t would only make him feel worried after telling him something like this.

Then, she suddenly remembered that Julian had asked her to wait for him.

'Could it be that he’s rushing back here now?’ Susan thought. However, she soon dispelled herself of the thought as she found it was impossible.

"Susie, is that your husband?” Chance could not help and ask. He had no idea whether he heard it right or not, but Susan seemed to be calling the person on the phone "Julian?”

'Director Shaw’s full name is Julian Shaw... No, no, no. This is impossible. I must have heard it wrong...'

Just when he was wondering why he would start having hallucinations at such a young age, Susan turned to him and tried to say something.

However, before any word could come out of her mouth, Lily blinked her eyes and interjected, sarcastically, "Susan, are you looking for your husband to help you out? Well, I'd like to see who your husband is and how is he going to help you turn the tide." 3

She had been Susan's colleague for more than a year. Even though Susan claimed that she was married, Lily had never seen her husband before. She had no idea whether or not Susan was lying about her husband, but even if he truly existed, she was certain that he could not be compared to Sheldon in terms of identity or status.

Therefore, even if he really came, there was nothing h e could do other than leave with his tail in between his legs. Even so, he might divorce Susan after hearing everything that she had done.

Sheldon threw a glance at Susan, but he was unperturbed. He put on a calm expression and said," Okay, we're running short on time. Gather around. No matter if you're going to the next round or not, I’ll give you some advice on your design. After that, I'll announce the theme for the next round."

He just left Susan alone and went on to explain about everyone else's works.

"What should we do, Susie?"

Susan gritted her teeth and said, "I can’t allow this to happen. I must complain to the organizer and have them help me out."

"But Susie, Sheldon is someone who is unchallengeable in this industry. We can’t fight him,"

Chance expressed his concern.

"Stay out of this, Chance. You've entered the next round, so I don’t want to affect you," Susan said with much determination, "I'll certainly get to the bottom of it."

She did not believe that the world would side with the scumbag.

"I don't care about the judgment from such a scumbag.” Chance said loyally, "I'll be with you."

Susan looked at Chance gratefully. Even though he could not help her in any possible way, at least he trusted her, and that was more than enough.

After Sheldon finished his explanation, he then announced the title for the next round. Then, just when he dismissed the crowd, Susan walked up to him.

"Mister Parsons, I’m afraid you can't leave yet," Susan said, "I'm not satisfied with your judgment, so please come with me to see the organizer."

Sheldon was annoyed by Susan's persistence. He held Susan’s gaze and said, "Would you cut it out? I still have a lot of things to do, so I don't have time to mess around with you."

He could not understand why the woman was such a dumbhead. Why would she so hellbent on challenging him while she was just a young designer who did not have any reputation yet? Did she know that he could make the organizer disqualify her from the

competition? 3

Truth be told, he had already contacted several press outlets in secret to spread the news of her trying to climb into his bed and her attempt to plagiarize in the competition. The news would go live tomorrow, and once the public believed that she was the one who committed all the deeds, her arguments would be insignificant.

"No, you can't leave now," Susan stood in front of Sheldon to prevent him from leaving.

"You’re bringing shame on yourself, Susan,” Lily sneered, "If I were you, I would find a hole and bury myself in it. I'm truly impressed that you still have the guts to stand here."

"You know what you've done, Lily," Susan said as she grabbed Lily's arm, "It's you who hooked up with Sheldon Parsons and it's you who copied my work. Don’t think that you can get away with it."

"You just don't get it, don't you? There's nothing you can do to avert the situation. Get lost now," said Lily as she pushed Susan away. 1

Susan slipped and fell towards the back. 1

Startled, just when Chance was about to go up and catch Susan, a silhouette whizzed past him and grabbed Susan before he did.

After she regained her balance, Susan turned around and said, "Thank..."

Then, her eyes gleamed brightly in pleasant surprise.

'Julian?! Shouldn't he still be on his business trip? How did he come back so soon?’

"Director Shaw,” Lily was shocked to see Julian here. However, she soon recollected herself and offered him a genial smile, "Are you here to check on the competition, Director Shaw? Chance and I have entered the next round. We didn’t tarnish Lanyard's reputation."

Julian did not pick up her conversation. Instead, he asked coldly, "Who pushed Susan just now?"

His heart was still pumping very fast from the scene h e saw just now. If he were late a little, Susan would be on the floor right now.

Lily did not expect such a question from Julian. She was stunned for a while before she replied carefully," Me, Director Shaw. But I did it with good reason.”

Looking at her expressionlessly, Julian asked, "Oh? What's the reason then?"

Lily had no idea why Julian looked so furious all of a sudden. His expression was dark as if a storm was coming. As such, she quickly explained, "It’s Susan. She stole my design and she even framed me that I'm having a scandal with Mr. Parsons. I was overwhelmed by my rage, so I pushed her."

"That's right, Director Shaw. I can testify that Lily is saying the truth," Sheldon looked expectantly at

Julian. Then, he continued, "Susan came to my hotel room a few days ago and tried to seduce me. Director Shaw, she's a bad hat."

"Are you telling me that Susan attempted to seduce you in your room?” Julian looked at Sheldon as if he was looking at an idiot. 1

Sheldon did not realize Julian's expression as he launched into a monologue, "She wanted me to open the backdoor and let her enter the top 10. Of course, I rejected her. Then, she made a false countercharge and said I had a secret affair with Lily. Director Shaw, a person like her doesn't deserve to become a designer, so I've disqualified her from the competition."

"Director Shaw, she has been bullying me ever since w e started to work together," Lily said, feigning a pitiful expression, "I've been tolerating her all along, but I never expected that she would look a gift horse in the mouth. Not only did she steal my design, but she also tried to smear my reputation. I was so angry I pushed her. I'm sorry, Director Shaw." This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Don’t believe them, Julian. They're lying!" Susan felt her anger burn in her chest and her heart thudded loudly.

The degree of their shamelessness was truly jaw-dropping.

"Lying? Hah, you know what you've done, Susan,” Lily said.

"Susan, if you keep this going, you will be the one getting the short end here," Sheldon chimed in.

"You...” Susan was so exasperated that she wanted to rush forward and have a fall out with them.

However, Julian tugged at her sleeve, put on a fake smile, and looked into Sheldon's eyes, "Susan tried to seduce you?"

"Yes. But she didn't succeed," Sheldon assented.

"So, I just want to know where you got the confidence t o think that my woman would fall for you?" Julian asked as he glared at Sheldon.
