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

Chapter 235 Attacking Charlotte

Angered from her thoughts, Charlotte swept everything on the table off hysterically. Even the computer was thrashed onto the floor.

"Charlotte, what are you doing?” Luke could not help jumping when he heard the ruckus just as he entered through the door.

"Susan, it's Susan!" Charlotte looked at him with crazed eyes.

Luke frowned when he heard Charlotte cussing at Susan. "Charlotte, you're a lady. Watch your words.”

"Luke, you're still speaking for her.” Charlotte pulled out a newspaper from the trash and thrust it to Luke." See for yourself what she’s done!”

Luke was rather surprised but he flattened the newspaper to have a look. Shortly, he creased his brows.

"My engagement to Joseph was just announced and her wedding photos with Julian were leaked! Is that not a slap to my face? All the newspapers in Ningcheng City are reporting their wedding photoshoot, so who else cares to remember me?” Charlotte accused, near tears.

She already felt aggrieved having to marry someone she did not like. She only wanted some envy to herself in order to satisfy her little ego streak now. Was that too much to ask for?

Look - she had just taken the limelight for one day and Susan snatched all the attention that should belong to her away with just a couple of photos.

How could she resign to that!Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Looking at Charlotte's frenzied state, Luke put the papers aside and said, "Calm down, Charlotte. These wedding photos look fine, but they aren't edited and still have some rough edges. Change into something flattering later and go out for a stroll. I’ll get the best photographer to snap some street style photos of you. We'll post them after some editing and that should take some attention away."

"Okay." It was only then that Charlotte looked slightly better. "I'll get changed."

Without saying anything, Luke looked back at the newspaper quietly. Susan's brilliant smiles printed on it made him dive into deep thought.

He had promised Susan that he would put her into the prettiest wedding dress. He did not manage to keep his promise, but Julian did. 1

In the past, he had always consoled himself with the assumption that Susan still loved him the most deep down. She was together with Julian just like how he was together with Mandy - they were forced to.

After all that happened, however, he could no longer lie to himself.

Susan really did not love him anymore.

Like a dream, she looked beautiful in the wedding dress in the photo. The smile that stretched the corners of her lips was one so bright that he had never seen before. Nonetheless, he was not the one by her side.

Luke cast his gaze down, concealing the complex emotions in his eyes.

"Mr. Shaw, you and Mrs. Shaw are in the news." Mama Jean came in gleefully with a newspaper.

"Hmm?” Julian arched a brow and took it.

Susan scooted over to have a look as well.

"Hey, isn’t this the photoshoot we had by the river when we came back here?" Susan exclaimed.

The photos were quite clear. At least, their faces were distinguishable.

"The photography skill is so-so. I think the person took them candidly," Julian commented. "But our Susie is so pretty. You’re still gorgeous even when the person's skill sucks."

"You..." Susan playfully glared at him and looked back at the photos, nodding. "They really do look good."

"Lacking too much compared to what the photographer took, though. These papers too, they should publish the nice photos instead of these." Julian shook his head. "Susie, hold on. I’ll post them some photos." "Hah, is this necessary?” Susan was amused.

"Of course," Julian snorted. "I didn't want to be high profile, but since they've taken candid photos of us and published them. Of course, they should use the best looking ones. They should also see how my Susie i s the prettiest."

Julian was so serious in his speech that Susan could not help rolling her eyes. "Quit it, will you?"

"No way." Julian was already on his laptop and uploading photos in a post.

Helpless about the case but noting how excited Julian was about it, Susan gave up stopping him.

While Julian was uploading his post, Charlotte was strolling down the street for her "candid" photoshoot with a photographer before she quickly developed the photos.

She was incredibly pleased with how they turned out.

The photos looked like a passerby had taken them candidly while bumping into her, but all the poses were designed by the photographer. They even did various post edits.

With a glance, they looked much more delicate than Susan’s candid wedding photos.

"Alright, upload the photos," Charlotte ordered. Then, she waited calmly.

When the photos were uploaded, paid posters would b e commissioned to post comments about how she looked prettier in casual clothes than Susan in a wedding dress. She could then direct the attention and limelight back to herself.

Half an hour later, when Charlotte thought that it was about time, she asked a servant. "Have they been uploaded?"

"Yes," the servant replied.

It had been half an hour. The paid internet ghostwriters would have already acted on it and successfully directed the netizens’ opinions.

"What does everyone say?" Charlotte asked in reservation.

"Uh..." Hesitation flashed in the servant's eyes after a glance at the post.

"What's with the face?" Charlotte frowned. "Forget it, I'll take a look myself."

Pushing the servant away, Charlotte plopped herself down in front of the computer.

Scrolling through the post, she wore a smug grin.

Once she posted, the paid posters reacted, making comparisons between her and Susan while singing praises about how she was much prettier than Susan.

The netizens' opinions were swayed from the start as everyone showered her with compliments.

The grin on Charlotte's face threatened to split in half.

That should be the way! She, Charlotte Jenkins was the most eye-catching woman in Ningcheng City. Susan Shelby would always only be steps under her.

With a sense of superiority over Susan, Charlotte preened as she kept scrolling down.

When she got to the third page, her elated beam froze.

"Candid photos? C'mon, Susan's are the real deal. Look at Charlotte's photos. It’s painfully obvious that she's posing. The editing almost blurred her face to nothing. How presumptuous to claim the photos as candid shots - this is comparing edited photos with actual passerby candid taken ones, tsk tsk tsk..." 1

"Exactly. If you want to look at edited photos, compare them to Susan's edited photos too. Also, Susan’s edited wedding photos are breathtaking! And it’s visible that her face wasn't Photoshopped, but the background. The resolution is higher too. It's like a puff of fresh air when you put it next to Miss Jenkins' surgical-level facetune!"

"Haha, I saw their wedding photos too. Mr. Shaw posted them himself. Unbelievable. He's adorable!”

Charlotte kept reading, holding in her rage. A number of people mentioned Susan's processed wedding photos and had even posted a link.

Charlotte clicked on it immediately.
