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

Chapter 178 Suspicious

"Are you listening to what I've just told you? Come over now," said Madam Shaw with an ordering tone.

Julian Shaw raised an eyebrow and said, "Sure.”

He drove the car and the scene of Isabelle Shelby falling flashed past his mind. He had a look of deep ponderation on his face.

Isabelle thought that her fall was perfect and flawless, yet she did not expect that he used to learn martial arts painstakingly when he was young for safety purposes.

It was only that he had bodyguards with him at all times over the years. The bodyguards would help him manage any difficulties he encountered occasionally.

Hence, almost no one knew that he was rather skilled i n fighting.

Perhaps, an ordinary person would not notice anything different in Isabelle’s fall, yet it was simply full of flaws in his eyes!

It was apparent that Isabelle did it on purpose.

He thought further from the moment about why Isabelle would suddenly insist on hugging him.

He had his back facing the entrance so he could not see Susie, but he speculated that Isabelle could see her.

It was precisely because she could see Susan that she proposed a request like this intentionally.

This woman had simply racked her brains to scheme!Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

A look of disgust flashed past Julian’s eyes involuntarily when he figured out the links of this incident.

Frankly, he did not have a favorable impression of Isabelle since the start.

Yet, it was precisely due to her identity as Little Flower that he showed tolerance and guilt to her.

Before today, there was nothing much for him to doubt Isabelle's identity because she could point out everything that happened between him and Little Flower.

Yet, today...

A suspicion emerged in Julian's mind when he witnessed Isabelle frame Susan.

Could a person really change that much from young to now?

Little Flower was pure and naive, as pretty as a little angel when she was young.

Yet, Isabelle was...

He was incapable of linking the person she was not to the Little Flower back in those years regardless.

Julian could not help narrowing his eyes.

Perhaps, he should investigate this matter thoroughly.

He had one week. After one week, he needed to acquire a definite answer, whether it was for himself o r for Susan.

He drove swiftly and arrived at the hospital.

He went looking for the wardroom according to the room number given by Madam Shaw.

"Thank God you still came over!" said Madam Shaw in an unpleasant tone upon seeing Julian.

"Mr. Shaw." Isabelle lay on the bed with an unusually ghastly pale face. However, she cracked into a weak smile at once as soon as she saw Julian.

Julian narrowed his eyes and removed the emotions i n his gaze. Then, he walked into the room and asked nonchalantly, "Are you alright."

"I'm fine." Was Julian showing his care for her? Isabelle revealed an expression of overwhelming flattery by the favor on her face rapidly.

Madam Shaw looked left and right and could not help grunting coldly, "Where’s Susan? She made a mistake, so why isn't she here?"

"Susie is not feeling that well. I made her head home t o rest,” said Julian.

"Not feeling well?" Madam Shaw was infuriated. “I think she’s avoiding it on purpose. Julian, you can't keep spoiling her like this.”

"Mother, it’s true that Susie isn’t feeling well." Julian said, "Moreover, Ms. Shelby, it seems that you genuinely do not have any severe injuries, right?"

Julian glanced at Isabelle nonchalantly.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Isabelle hastily said, "I'm fine, really. Madam, Susie is a relative that is very important to me. It’s impossible that she did that on purpose. If you insist on her apologizing to me, I... I won't feel comfortable in my heart."

Madam Shaw took a glance at Isabelle and heaved a sigh. "You're too kind, child."

"Madam..." Isabelle looked at her in a pleading manner.

"Alright, alright. I won't make things difficult for Susan. All of you are always trying to protect her." Even though Madam Shaw was displeased, she did not insist on that anymore.

Julian took a glance at Isabelle with the glint in his eyes that grew even deeper.

He had no choice but to acknowledge that Isabelle was really good at acting. Had it not been her fall that revealed her flaw, perhaps he would not think further on this matter either.

After a while, the doctor walked over.

"Ms. Shelby's examination result is out. There's no problem. You may stay longer in the ward for observation if you're really concerned, but I think there’s no need for that," said the doctor.

"It’s fine that there's no problem." Madam Shaw was relieved.

Julian took a glance at Isabelle and suddenly said," Since you're fine, please allow me to take you home."

"Take me home?" Isabelle's eyes lit up at once and a wisp of joy that could not be concealed was revealed o n her face.

Was Julian doing this to get close to her?

Was her action finally showing effect?

Immersed in the happiness in her heart, Isabelle said coyly, "Wouldn’t that be troubling for you, Mr. Shaw?"

"He should do it." Madam Shaw took a glance at Julian and she had already accepted the task on his behalf. "Isa, let him take you home. Rest well at home for the next few days, don't stress

yourself out."

"Madam." Isabelle suddenly turned glassy-eyed as she looked at Madam Shaw. "You’re so kind to me."

Her weeping beauty's behavior gave her a pleasing appearance. Madam Shaw's gaze softened beyond her control.

A barely discernible coldness flashed past Julian's eyes.

Isabelle really had her own ways to deal with his mother.

Inside the speeding car, it was all quiet.

Isabelle peeked at Julian sitting on the driver's seat and felt her heart racing.

It was the first time that Julian had ever shown any intention to get intimate with her.

Did this prove that there were truly ill feelings between him and Susan now?

Looking at Julian's cold, handsome face from the side, Isabelle could not help uttering softly, "Mr. Shaw, don't blame Susie. It’s my fault for not standing properly and falling."

Julian took a glance at her.

He would never blame Susan, of course!

However, he narrowed his eyes and said nonchalantly, "It's good that you’re fine."

A simple phrase from him made Isabelle excited at once.

Her cheeks flushed in excitement.

Even though she had no idea why Julian would have a drastic change like this all of a sudden, she figured that it was because Susan was being too formidable.

A proud glint glimmered in Isabelle’s eyes.

In the morning, Susan witnessed that scene.

Afterward, Susan was framed by her to just the right amount. Due to Susan’s strong personality, she was certain that Susan would have failed to control herself and threw a big tantrum.

What sort of person was Julian?

He was the helmsman of the Shaw Corporation's empire.

He could spoil Susan but it did not mean that he could bear with Susan's causeless tantrums.

If Susan were to continue to behave like a spoiled, proud woman in view of Julian's affection for her, Julian would grow sick of her one day sooner or later.

By then, her opportunity would come.

'Susan, don't blame me!’

'You can only blame that you seized the man who is supposed to be mine.' 5

Julian sent Isabelle to the door personally.

Isabelle got down from the car and looked at Julian shyly. "Mr. Shaw, thank you for sending me home."

"I should be." Julian raised an eyebrow. "I shall see to you getting inside."

"That’d be too troublesome...” Isabelle was beyond excited in her heart but she still feigned her shyness and said that.

"Let's go." Julian had already taken the lead to walk inside.

Isabelle’s heart was racing. She hastily followed behind him as well.
