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

Chapter 595 A Month Later

Madam Shaw led Willa away with a long face.

"What should we do now, mom? It seems to me that the Wrights are not going to hand over Julian's assets," Willa said softly.

She was filled with sorrow as well due to Julian's passing.

However, she could not go down just like this. She had to take care of the baby. For this reason alone, she had to stay strong.

Julian's possessions should belong to her baby. The Wrights had no right to take it away from her.

"Hah! I'd like to see if they really have that big of a mouth or not!" Madam Shaw replied coldly. "I have given the green light to the press. In three days, the news of them trying to steal Julian's fortune will spread like wildfire. Since Susan attempted to harm the baby and the Wrights just kicked us out of their house, we have every right to sue the Wrights for trying to harm the baby."

"Will it be that easy?”

"Of course I know it won't be easy. Our objective is to make the Wrights sick of us and destroy their reputation," Madam Shaw said expressionlessly. "Luna's in bad health, and I’m certain she will be as mad as a wet hen if she finds out we sued them in court. Besides, they have two kids on their side, so do you think they can afford to go through such trouble? All we have to do right now is make a scene out of this. The bigger, the better. I don’t believe that they will be that shameless."

Apparently, Madam Shaw had thought of everything.

Willa caressed her stomach and replied softly, "You're the expert, mom."

Madam Shaw looked at Willa’s stomach as determination filled her eyes like fire dancing on a glassy lake. "Don’t worry. I will not allow Julian's possessions to fall into the hands of the Wrights."

Madam Shaw was prepared well this time.

The same day, the scene of Willa getting kicked out of the Wright Mansion was publicized by various media outlets. At the same time, the incident of Susan stabbing Willa in the stomach was dug out. On top of that, the rumors of Julian setting up a will to pass his family fortune to his son spread as well.

Once the public connected the dots, they soon pictured the Wrights attempting to take over Julian's fortune by murdering Willa’s baby in their minds.

This rumor was truly absurd.

Just as Jacob and Seth were about to do something about the rumor, Madam Shaw was one step ahead of them.

She had decided to set aside all her shame and throw a tantrum in front of the StarTech Tower.

She said that even though Julian was dead, he had set up a will. As his trusted friends, Jacob and Seth should help them get back what they deserved and not join the bad side to bully them just because Julian was gone.

What's more, by using her identity as a pregnant woman to her advantage, Willa would approach them whenever she got the chance. If they even as much as made a slight movement, she would throw herself to the ground.

They brought with them plenty of reporters, tying both Seth and Jacob's hands.

One day, the lobby of the StarTech Tower was occupied by Madam Shaw and Willa's troops.

While observing the situation of the lobby through the camera, Seth said through gritted teeth, "Why does a smart person like Julian have a mother like this?"

Jacob's face was ugly as well. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

He could not fathom why Julian would have a mother like this.

If she was not Julian's mother, they would have had plenty of ways to deal with her. However, one of them was a senior citizen, and the other was a pregnant woman. No matter how indignant they were, Seth and Jacob were fully aware of what they should do and what they should not do.

However, whenever they took a small step back, Madam Shaw and Willa would seize the opportunity and make a scene out of it.

“I have never come across a mother who wanted her son dead so much," Jacob said coldly. "Right now, all we have to do is release some news to divert the public's attention from this matter. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. Since they want to make a big deal out of this, let’s do it then!"

After a short while, some other news caught the attention of the public.

Someone had published an article with an eye-catching headline. The article talked about how arrogant Willa had been in front

of Susan after snatching Julian away and how she had bullied the latter whenever she'd gotten the chance. The article also described Susan as a pitiful woman while turning Willa into an abominable demon. It did not just end there, though.

The article also mentioned that Madam Shaw valued sons over daughters and listed all the evil deeds she had done in the past, including trying to kill her own granddaughter. Right now, she did not want to leave even a single penny to her own granddaughter and wanted to hand over everything to the b*stard son of a homewrecker.

Public opinion changed instantly, and everyone stood on Susan's side.

Willa was a despicable woman, as she was a homewrecker. Right now, everyone was outraged and filled with righteous indignation after discovering what she had done to Susan and how she had tried to make Julian's assets her own.

The sympathy that Madam Shaw and Willa had garnered vanished in the blink of an eye.

Madam Shaw and Willa's expression was gloomy when they realized their plan had failed.

With a dark face, Madam Shaw said, "It seems that the Wrights are going to fight us until the end."

"Mom, the Wrights won't possibly hand over the assets. There is a lot of money involved, and all of them are really greedy. I have an idea..." Willa's eyes turned around, and she pitched her voice low as she whispered into Madam Shaw's ear.

Madam Shaw squinted.

"This is a good plan, but don't you think it’s a little dangerous?"

"Mom, you just need to stand aside. You will be very safe," Willa assured her.

Madam Shaw narrowed her eyes and then said through gritted teeth, "Alright then. Let's do it!"

Both of them went on to prepare for their plan carefully.

After a long journey, the three people in the jungle avoided all the choppers and the rescue team and finally found the exit that Julius had prepared in advance.

"Finally!" Julius’s face brightened up with joy.

He had finally crossed the damn jungle.

There was a car parked in a hidden place outside. All he had to do was take a few more steps and hop into the car and he could leave this place behind.

He had thought of an escape plan as well. He would leave Canada in one day. He just had to dress up and put on some make-up and then nobody would be able to discover him.

Julius' heart finally calmed down after he found the exit. He shot a glance at Julian and Susan as he said, "It has been a month. Have you made your decision? If you decide to join me, you can leave with me now."

"Well, I guess we have to turn down your offer. We can't let go of the people in Skyking City,” Julian replied.

"Hmph! The world is going to end soon, yet you are still worried about trivial matters like that? You are just heading to your doom," Julius commented.

"We are mortals anyway. This is something that we can’t let go that easily," Susan added.

He did not want to waste his time talking with these two people anymore. He still had one last step to take, and the virus would be complete. Also, he had to get rid of the other Julius in his mind.

There were many things waiting for him to take care of them.

With that thought in mind, Julius turned around and left without any hesitation. He was not afraid that Julian and Susan would give away his location. After all, the forest was huge, and the chopper had just flown by above them. They would have to wait one or two more hours for the next chopper.

One or two hours were more than sufficient for him to get on the plane that he had prepared in advance. Therefore, it would be a wasted effort even if they divulged his whereabouts to the rescue team.
