Chapter 88 See Her
Chairman Jenkins was here? The few people were startled such that they looked at Luke Jenkins with panicked gazes.
'Didn't Chairman Jenkins go out to meet a client?'
'How did he end up back here!’
'Damn... Damn it! Madam Jenkins intentionally ordered us to not mention Susan to the CEO.'
They thought that Luke had left so they had the courage to chat about it.
They did not expect that Luke would hear them in such a coincidental manner!
If Madam Jenkins were to learn about this incident, they would not be able to survive in the Jenkins Corporation.
"What were you talking about earlier? Susan?" Luke squinted his eyes to look at these people with a cold glint in his gaze.
'Susan, post, b*tch, dumped?’
'What were they talking about?'
'Or should I say, what did I miss!’
"No, nothing," said a secretary in fear.
Luke sneered once. "Really? It seems like I need a new batch of secretaries soon." "Chairman Jenkins." One of the secretaries panicked." It's not that we don’t want to tell you but it’s Madam Jenkins who won't allow us to tell you."
Luke frowned as he began to realize the problems regarding this matter.
He said coldly, "Madam Jenkins won't allow you to tell me. Do you actually know who your immediate superior is?" Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
The few people could not but stand and gaze at one another.
They could possibly have a hard time in the future if they offended Madam Jenkins.
Yet, they would have an even harder time now if they offended Luke.
After considering this, a secretary said in dejection," This is the situation. There was a post yesterday...”
The secretary explained the incident attentively.
The longer Luke listened to her, the more unpleasant his expression became.
According to the description of the post, Susan Shelby was obviously a mistress who would stop at nothing t o achieve her goal.
It was utter nonsense.
He wondered who spread the rumor.
Luke had a pretty good idea of who that was when he remembered Madam Jenkins' order that no one was allowed to bring up to matter before him. 1
His expression turned a little colder. "From now on, you all are not allowed to spread this kind of nonsensical rumor anymore.”
As he was speaking, he turned around and left.
'Mother must have been behind this incident.'
'Mother promised not to pursue the matter of Susan's responsibility related to father.'
'I even promised her that I will cut off all ties with Susan.'
He had fulfilled his promise of not attempting to contact Susan all this time.
Yet, his mother and the others still refused to let Susan off.
They intentionally tricked Susan into coming to the house previously and this time, they brewed this rumor in secret!
'What do they actually-!’
In the Jenkins' family home, Madam Jenkins and Charlotte Jenkins were chatting.
"Now that Susan's reputation is almost fully tarnished already...” Madam Jenkins said nonchalantly, "The post has albeit been removed but we prepared for that by sending the content of the post to those tabloids already. Madam Shaw prioritizes her reputation more than anything else in her life. Susan's reputation is tarnished so it’s possible that she will be taking some measures. Charlotte, your opportunity will come when Julian divorces Susan."
Charlotte's expression turned joyous at first followed b y dejection as she said, "Yet, it seems like Julian really doesn’t love me."
"Love?" Madam Jenkins raised an eyebrow. "The word ' love' is too extravagant for people of our status. Do you think that Julian really loves Susan? He treats her as nothing but a toy. When the joy of discovering a new toy wears off, he won't be bothered about Susan anymore naturally. A marriage between families of equal rank is most important for people like us. I’ll be speaking to Madam Shaw on your behalf later on. I believe the rate of success is really high. As for whether the
relationship between Julian and you can advance further after you get married, that will depend on your capability then." 1
Madam Jenkins had a very calm and composed expression on her face.
Charlotte thought about Madan Jenkins' plan that was considered carefully and accurately reckoned every step of the way. She could not help nodding and said confidently, "Mother, if you can give me a chance to spend some time alone with Julian, I will certainly be able to win over his heart." "That’s for sure." Madam Jenkins could not help chuckling aloud.
She had just cracked into a smile when the sound of clapping hands was suddenly heard coming from the doorway.
"Impressive, truly impressive." Luke's slightly cold voice was heard.
Madam Jenkins' smile froze at once.
"Luke! Why are you back at this time?" Madam Jenkins asked.
"If I did not come back, wouldn’t I miss hearing that interesting scheme of yours?" There was profound disappointment in Luke's gaze.
Realizing that she could not keep this hidden anymore, Charlotte bit her lower lip. "So what if we adopt these tricks! Luke, that woman Susan deserves i t. She shouldn't have seized the position of Mrs. Shaw, that position belongs to me solely. Since she refuses t o yield, I can only take it myself!"
"Charlotte! Since when have you turned into this type o f person!" Luke looked at Charlotte incredulously. "You love Julian and that is your business. Why would you use a method that hurts another person to fulfill your love?"
"Brother!" Charlotte was displeased. "So you’re saying that I’m at fault? In the past, you've always supported me regardless of what I do. You're actually dissing a family member for Susan now? Don't forget that it was her fault that father is dead!"
"The evidence related to our father's case is far from being conclusive enough! Moreover, both of you promised me not to pursue this incident anymore." Luke spoke through clenched teeth, "I kept my word and married Mandy obediently. Moreover, I stopped contacting Susan too. Yet, how about you? Have you kept your promise?"
"Luke, stay calm..." Madam Jenkins attempted to persuade him.
Luke threw her a cold glance. "I believe that it was you who arranged for someone to post that post, right? Have that person come forward and clarify everything."
"That's impossible.” Charlotte could not help shrieking, "Luke, are you mad?"
"If that person refuses to come forward, then I shall come forward personally!" Luke's voice deepened. " You can make the choice."
Madam Jenkins and Charlotte’s expression turned unpleasant at this point.
"Luke, do you really want to do that?" Madam Jenkins frowned. "Do you know that if you choose to come forward, it will cause severe implications to your marriage and the alliance between Shaw and Jenkins families? I know that you're not such a stubborn person."
"Then I'm afraid that you don't know me well. I'll give your three hours to get that person to come forward and clear up the situation. Otherwise, I'm not so sure what I will do," said Luke coldly.
As he was speaking, he turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
He wanted to look for Susan.
‘Susie can't be having a good time when she has been defiled by someone for no reason.’
Moreover, what if Madam Shaw and Julian felt biased because of this incident? What should she do then? 1
He acquired Julian and Susan's residence address from Charlotte before.
He would need to go over to see Susan regardless, even if he could only take one glance at her from afar.
