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

Chapter 373 Serenity's Acting

"Susie!" The knife cut through Susan’s clothes, shocking Serenity as she halted her stab abruptly.

Serenity glared at Susan in rage. "Susie, move! Let me kill Julian Shaw!"

"No, you can't kill him." Susan was pale but she stood her ground.

"You..." Serenity looked at Susan, furious. "The ones who lay before you right now are your family. The murderer is right behind you, and yet you're protecting him? Susan, can you face Dad and Oliver?"

Susan paled even more as she shook uncontrollably.

Her father and brother died, their deaths planned by Julian. She could not forgive him, but when he was in the face of danger, it was her instinct to protect him.

"Serenity! I can’t do it! I can't watch him get hurt without doing anything." Susan looked at Serenity in despair.

"Susan, you!" Serenity lashed out. "You and Julian Shaw, both of you, get out! You don't deserve to stand i n front of Dad and Oliver. I don't want to see you both again."

"Serene..." Susan blanched, wanting to say more.

"Get out!" Serenity was already shouting.

Susan wanted to explain, anxious, but she was weak, i n addition to not having food in her system from being sedated for the whole day. It caused her vision t o black out. 1

Julian carried her immediately.

"Julian Shaw, put me down. Get out. I want to stay with Serenity." Susan struggled.

"Susie, let us go out first." Disregarding Susan, Julian carried her to the door. Before he left, he turned to

look at Serenity who was infuriated. There was a flash of thoughtfulness that gleamed in his eyes.

Did Serenity notice anything strange? Was she really upset or was she acting along with him, having caught up to the events? Julian had no answers to them, but this was the best that could happen.

Joseph had been watching them impassively. When Julian left hastily carrying Susan, he glanced toward Serenity expressionlessly.

"Dad, Oliver." Serenity was kneeled before the corpses, tears gushing out of her eyes.

Her cries were silent but it was always the soundless sobs that touched hearts.

With tears running down silently, Serenity’s lean form looked even thinner and frail. She staggered from the grief but her innate will pushed her to straighten up swiftly, preventing her from showing too much pain.

Joseph watched coldly in the beginning. Gradually, as he watched Serenity's willful yet delicate silhouette, his heart softened for some reason. Giving it a thought, he took off his jacket and draped it gently on her. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Serenity reacted violently to it. She flung the garment off and spat, "You get out as well!"

Joseph narrowed his eyes. "Do you know whose territory you’re in right now?"

Serenity looked back at him impassively, "Dad and Oliver died. I'm responsible for their deaths too. Kill m e if you're unhappy. I didn't want to live anyway."

Serenity stood up and stared straight at Julian. "Kill m e, kill me if you can." 1

Her frenzy caused Joseph to take a step back involuntarily.

Serenity's gaze turned mocking. "Hmm, don't you dare? Joseph Shaw, you kill without batting an eye, don't you? Since you’ve killed my Dad and Oliver, it won't matter to kill me too."

"You think I won't do it?" Irked, Joseph pointed his gun against Serenity's forehead.

Taking a step forward instead of withdrawing, Serenity said coldly, "Shoot! I lose if I flinch."

Joseph looked at her with a frown before he sneered and kept his gun. "Serenity Wright, I won't kill you."

"Hah, why? Don't tell me that you’re infatuated with m y beauty,” Serenity scoffed.

Joseph was a little speechless. "Aren't you too narcissistic? How could you praise your own beauty?" 1

"It's just the truth." Serenity calmed down.

Although her confidence was baffling to Joseph, he thought that Serenity was truly a rare beauty. She was not like Susan with a gentle charm that rested in her. She was glaringly beautiful, unabashed and straightforward, with open commanding eyes on her.

No wait... Why were his thoughts going astray to Serenity's looks? It was not even the point.

Joseph arched his brow. "You’ll know the reason why I'm not killing you in the future."

"Hah." Serenity scoffed some more before she kneeled back in front of the bodies and ignored the man.

Joseph narrowed his eyes at her before leaving the room. At the door, Rainn popped his head in hesitantly. Joseph knocked his head in exasperation when he saw him. "What are you doing?”

Rainn stroked his head and could not help saying," Boss, it's getting colder now. Miss Serenity won't be able to take it if she stays like this." 1

"You're quite the gentleman, aren't you?" Joseph raised his brow, feeling inexplicably annoyed.

Rainn chuckled. "Not really... I... I'm just like that toward Miss Serene.”

Joseph's hand went straight to rap Rainn's head again. "No need for that. If you dare make your way to her, I guarantee you that she'll fight you with her life." 1 "Sigh,” Rainn exhaled. "Boss, can we be sure that the two bodies are George and Oliver Wright now?" 1

Joseph squinted. "From Serenity and Susan’s reaction, there’s no fault. It's most probably the two of them."

"I also think that you're being too careful, boss," said Rainn.

Joseph raised a brow but did not say more. He just genuinely thought that Julian would not do something like this. Since Mr. Samael had determined the identities of the bodies too, he did not have to worry so much. After all, he held no grudges against the Wrights. It did not concern him whether they were actually dead. Joseph thought quite irresponsibly.

Emergency news was being broadcasted on the news channel. - A Canadian plane that carried Wolf Squad t o the USA for a friendly exchange was confirmed to have fallen in the region near the States. George and Oliver Wright, members of the Wolf Squad, and two pilots, had all disappeared mysteriously.

The disaster happened abruptly without warning.
