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

Chapter 528 Dirty

Willa gazed at Julian affectionately as she added, "Believe me, Julian, nobody in this world loves you more than I do. Even Susan’s love is inferior to mine."

Julian was disgusted by the way she looked at him and her words. His brows were furrowed deeply in the center, creating multiple creases on his forehead.

"You don't believe me?" Willa looked gently at Julian. "Even though I pulled the strings behind the incident, would Susan have doubted you so easily if she really loved you? This shows that she never really put her heart into the relationship. Julian, if you're willing to give me a chance, one day, you will realize that I'm more suitable than Susan to become your wife."

A strange smile appeared on Julian's lips.

"What are you smiling at?" Willa asked through gritted teeth.

Julian rose to his feet, looking down at her.

The dim light that filtered through the window dyed half of Willa's face white.

"You don’t have to tell me so much stuff,” Julian said expressionlessly. "I love Susan, and this is something that will never change. Even if Susan doesn’t love me, I’ll still love her the same way. As for you, you're nothing. Your face, your body, your fingers, every part of you from head to toe just can't hold a candle to her. Ah, how silly of me! I shouldn't have compared someone like you to Susie. She is simply out of your league."

Julian's icy voice stabbed Willa’s heart like a blade. She could not help biting her lower lip tightly.

"Why, Julian, why? What is so good about Susan? Why do you keep saying that Susan is superior to me? Just why?" Willa asked exasperatedly.

Julian's lips curled up in scorn as he said," Because that is the truth. What makes you think that you could be on the same level as Susan? If you really want me to give you a reason, it's because you're too dirty!"

"Dirty?" Willa looked painfully at Julian. " Because I have slept with a lot of men before?"

The last moments of her life as Isabelle Shelby were the nightmare of her life.

Julian let out a chuckle and said, "I’m talking about your heart. It’s your heart that is dirty."

Willa was stunned for a moment. Then, after she snapped back to reality, she said in an unusually even voice, "I don't care if my heart turns entirely black as long as I can be with you."

Her voice was calm, but her eyes were flashing with a stubborn fire.

At that moment, Willa could no longer tell whether she really loved Julian or she was just being jealous. All she knew was that if she could not be with Julian in her life, her life would be completely meaningless.

She was willing to do anything and use any means to make Julian hers.

Willa angled her head up and met Julian's gaze. "Julian, today is the last day of the week. Do you have your final answer? Do you want to see Susan die in front of you, or do you choose to be with me?"

Julian's face turned dark. He clenched his hands slightly as he hissed, "What do you think you can get by forcing me into having a relationship with you, huh? Do you think I'll fall in love with you?"

The corners of Willa's lips curled into a bright smile. "With Susan gone, I believe that you will fall head over heels in love with me one day after spending some time with me. Even if you don’t fall in love with me in your life, I will be more than satisfied to have you by my side."

The more she talked, the more disgusted Julian felt with her.

He took a deep breath and said icily," Today, I'm here to present you a chance. If you save Susan, I'll wipe the slate clean. I could even give you a promise...”

Willa interrupted Julian. "I don't want a promise. I just want you to be with me." A dark glint crossed Julian's eyes. "Is this your final answer?”

At that moment, his gaze was so terrifying that he looked just like a human-eating monster. Willa's heart trembled, but she forced herself to calm down.

She knew that Julian was a terrifying man, but so what?

As long as she had Susan's life as a bargaining chip, Julian could not do anything to her. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

"Yes, this is my final answer,” Willa replied without any hesitation.

Julian tightened and loosened his fists repeatedly. Then, he turned around and left without any qualms.

As she looked at his back, a bright grin spread across Willa’s face. She could not help shouting out loud, "Julian Shaw, I'm sure you will come back for me!"

With a loud thud, the door to the interrogation room was closed.

Even though Willa’s maniacal voice was out of earshot, Julian's face was livid with rage.

"How did it go?" Oliver was waiting in front of the door anxiously.

Julian did not say anything. He just shook his head.

Oliver was stunned for a moment. Then, his face turned crimson with anger as he snarled, "That b*tch!"

The interrogation room had once held a lot of criminals. Even though some of them would not budge no matter what they threw at them, it was rare to see a fragile woman like Willa refuse to give in after being subjected to so many forms of torture.

If she had been anybody else, Oliver might have respected her for her tenacity.

However, this woman was Willa, and she was going to harm Susan. A fire of rage was brewing inside Oliver, and he wanted nothing more than to choke her to death.

Oliver soon calmed down. He turned to Julian and said sternly, "Don’t worry, Julian. We still have some time left. I'll make sure that she will spill everything."

Julian nodded slightly but did not say anything. Then, he just left the place.

Meanwhile, Oliver and his team of torture experts continued their job to make Willa open her mouth.

Unfortunately, since she had been holding up for so long, they all knew that the probability of making her talk in a few hours was extremely low.

In the patient ward, Susan stood by the window and listened to the wind.

Julian looked at her back for a while before going up to her and silently hugging her from behind.

Susan's muscles became taut for a second, but she soon relaxed after she noticed his familiar scent.

She turned her head sideways and saw Julian.

"You're back," she said with a smile tugging at her lips.

"Yeah." Julian smiled in return, as he tried to make himself seem as normal as possible. "How do you feel, Susie?"

"Didn't I already tell you? I'm feeling fine, so hurry up and get me discharged from the hospital," Susan replied with a grin.

Julian was still smiling, but there was a hint of pain in his eyes.

Susan was fine right now, but it had been almost a week, so the deadline was approaching.

The virus in her body could re-emerge at any time.

"What's been going on with you lately?" Susan could not help but look at Julian. “ Why do you look like you have a lot on your mind? Is anything happening to the company?"

"Don't worry, the company is fine. Maybe I'm just a little worn out," Julian replied as he tousled Susan's hair. "Susie, is there anything more important than your life in this world?"

The question came so suddenly that it threw Susan into a loop. She began counting her fingers as she said, "Many things. My children, my parents, my siblings... All of them are people I'm willing to protect with my life.”
