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

Chapter 80 Where Are You?

'My mom chased Susan out of the house?’

Julian’s pupils constricted when he heard the news. " Tell me more about what happened in the house today, Mama Jean. Why did my mom chase Susan out?”

Mama Jean quickly organized her thoughts and then replied, "Madam suddenly came to the house today with a few newspapers in her hand and she looked very menacing. After she summoned Miss Susan back to the house, both of them engaged in a heated argument. Then, madam chased both Miss Susan and her brother out. What should we do now, Mister Shaw?”

"Where is my mom now?” 1

"I guess madam has returned to the Shaw Mansion already."

"Okay," Julian replied. After that, he stormed out of the company and went into his car.

His plan had gone west. Initially, he hoped to settle everything in secret. Never did he expect the Jenkins t o act so fast, and Susan and his mother would get wind of the news so soon.

'Do the Jenkins really think that I won't fight back?’ A dark glint flashed across his eyes.

As Julian beelined towards the Shaw Mansion, he turned on his Bluetooth phone and attempted to call Susan, but to no avail. He kept trying and trying, yet she did not pick up the call. Frustrated, Julian smashed the steering wheel hard.

He had no idea where they were right now, and he was worried sick about them. After all, Susan was just a woman and Jacob was seriously ill. What if they ran into trouble? What if Jacob's heart failed again? Without him by their side, nobody could help them.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he got. His heart spurred into a gallop and his mind was a muddled mess. However, Julian knew that being anxious and agitated right now would not help the situation. He needed to stay calm. As such, he closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. Then, by the time he opened his eyes again, the shadow of anxiety had left his face, and the calm Julian once again took the stage. He floored the accelerator and drove straight towards the Shaw Mansion.

Madam Shaw was having her tea on a couch when Julian arrived at the Shaw Mansion. She was genuinely surprised to see Julian here.

"What made you come here today, Julian? Is everything okay? Why do you look like you're in a rush?" "Where is Susie?" Julian cut to the chase.

Madam Shaw put down her cup. "I didn't expect you to get the news so soon. It seems like there is a whistleblower among us. I guess I can’t keep Mama Jean anymore."

"Mother, please be very clear that it’s me, not you, who decides who should stay or go,” Julian said harshly.

"Julian, are you talking back to me for a maid?” Madam Shaw exclaimed, disbelief accenting her voice.

Julian took a deep breath. "I'm not here to argue with you today. I only want to know where Susie is. She is just a girl and Jacob is sick. If I don't get them back soon, I worry that something will happen to them."

"What’s there to be worried about? Both of them are adults, and I'm pretty sure they can fare well for themselves,” Madam Shaw frowned, "Besides, you are going to divorce her sooner or later. In any sense, it's not your responsibility to take care of her."

"So you don't know where she is, and you didn’t send anybody to keep a tab on her?" Julian asked.

"How can you question your mother like that, Julian?" Madam Shaw glowered.

Seeing her reaction, it took Julian a lot to not lose his temper. He pressed down his rage and said, "Okay, fine then." 1

With that, he turned around and left.

"What do you mean by this, Julian Shaw?" Madam Shaw snapped, "Turn around and look at me. Think for yourself who am I doing this for. That woman is a whore, a bad hat, and she will destroy you. I'm doing this for your own good!"

Julian froze. He turned around and looked at Madam Shaw.

Madam Shaw was stunned. At this moment, she saw nothing but only exhaustion in his eyes.

"That's enough, mom," Julian said calmly, "Please be honest with yourself. You’re not doing it for me. You’re doing it for yourself."

After that, he spun around and walked out of the mansion, leaving Madam Shaw stunned still.

It took quite a long while for her to come around to her senses. Then, she shouted, anger thick in her voice," What do you mean that I’m doing it for myself?

Everything I do is for the sake of the Shaws. What’s wrong with that?"

'That Susan is indeed a walking disaster. Julian has never been so rude to me before, and it's only after he got together with her that his attitude changed. No, I must speed up my plan. I must hurry up and find a suitable partner for Julian and replace that woman. I can't let her destroy Julian!’

With that thought in mind, Madam Shaw took out her contact book and began searching for the right candidate.

In the car, Julian made a few calls and dispatched all his men to search for Susan and Jacob around the perimeter of the Shaw Mansion. After that, he called Seth and asked for his help as well.

After he had done everything, he picked an area and joined the search operation. At the same time, he kept calling Susan despite her not picking up his call.

Concurrently, at the entrance of an apartment, Seth opened the door and was stunned.

"Susan?!” He hastily fished out his phone and attempted to inform Julian. However, before he could do anything, Jacob snatched his phone away.

"What are you doing?" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"I'm informing Julian, of course! You might not know about it, but he almost turned Ningcheng City upside down looking for you two!" Seth said.

"Is he... Is he worried about us?" Susan asked, subconsciously biting her lower lips.

Her phone had been ringing the whole time they were on their way to Seth's apartment, but her brother had confiscated her phone and would not let her answer the call. She did not want to excite her brother, so she did not take her phone back from him.

"Of course he’s worried about you," Seth nodded, "He has dispatched everyone he knows to look for you two. He’s now driving his car around Ningcheng City searching for you two as well." 1

After hearing what Seth had said, Susan turned to Jacob and suggested, "Jacob, I think we at least have t

o tell him that we're safe now."

Jacob pressed his lips thin. He fell into a pensive state for a while and then replied, "You can send him an email. Tell him that we’re safe right now and that he should stop looking for us."

Seth was confused. He turned to Susan and asked," What happened between you and Julian, Susan? Why are you two running away from home?"

Susan gave a bitter smile, "Home? It was never my home anyway. I just left a place I shouldn’t have stayed since from the beginning.”

Seth looked even more dazed, but Susan was not going to say anything anymore. She took over the laptop handed by Jacob and began sending an email t o Julian.

When she hit the send button, an indescribable feeling rose from her heart. The marriage between Julian and her was just an agreement. Even though they had married for a year, nothing happened between them. There was no love, and there was no intimacy. She was convinced that it was better for both of them to let go of each other, but why was there a twinge in her heart?

Susan shook her head to shoo away the messy thoughts out of her head. Julian married her on Madam Shaw's order. He never loved her and she knew that she was just a burden for him. Right now, h e finally could relax after he was freed from her, and she reckoned that he was looking for her not because she was his wife, but because she was his friend.

'I guess an email is enough to set his mind at ease. From now on, he will be freed from this forced marriage and he can wait for the girl that he truly loves.'

"Director Shaw, I’ve asked every hotel on the east side but no one has seen Miss Susan.”

"Director Shaw, it’s the same for the west side...”

"We couldn't find Miss Susan on Mistral Road as well"

"It's the same for the city square.”

Listening to the feedback, the light in Julian's eyes began to fade away as despair slowly set in.

He took a deep breath and gave his order, "Keep searching.”

Just when he put down his phone, something flashed across the screen. He took a glance and his pupils shrunk. It was the email sent by Susan.

He quickly opened it.
