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

Chapter 332 The Storm Is Brewing

At the venue of the feast...

After the three questions were asked, the guests were invited to take a seat for the meal.

At the end of the feast, the journalists' phones started ringing simultaneously.

A look of astonishment flashed past the eyes of every single one of them in unison.

"Mr. Shaw.” The journalist from Sunrise Bulletin stood up at once and said in a sharp tone, "Something important happened when we were occupied during the feast. Are you aware of the situation, Mr. Shaw?"

Before Julian Shaw could form a response, Sunrise Bulletin's journalist had already spoken with an elated expression. "Skyler Chantier committed suicide! In the suicide note he left behind, he blamed your actions for his death! What is your view on this matter, Mr. Shaw?"

Skyler Chantier had committed suicide?

Faint sentiment flashed past Julian Shaw’s eyes.

As expected, Joseph Shaw was rather ruthless.

From the day Skyler had betrayed him, he had supposedly already cut all ties with Skyler.

However, he could still feel a wisp of ineffable feeling rise from the bottom of his heart after learning about Skyler's death at this exact moment. This was the person that had grown up with him after all.

He still had no idea why Skyler would betray him to this day.

"If a person would rather die just to continue to accuse another person, then I'm willing to believe that he is telling the truth! Mr. Shaw, it appeared like you had managed to explain this matter earlier.

In reality, you didn't even procure any proof! Now that Skyler is dead, do you think it's appropriate for you to give an explanation?" queried Sunrise Bulletin's journalist in a n aggressive manner.

Julian took a glance at him and then said nonchalantly, "You're asking for proof?"

"Sure." The journalist looked at him maliciously. He had Julian in the palm of his hand now. Julian was utterly incapable of procuring any proof!

Now that everything had begun, Julian was already in Skyking City! If he had been in Ningcheng City, perhaps he would have been able to get his hands on some clues, yet even though he was exceedingly powerful, he had been rendered helpless in a place far away.

"Alright.” Julian nodded. "I shall show you proof then."

He took out his phone right away.

"Why, could you still be trying to make a call and seek help?" The journalist scoffed.

Before his voice could die away, a crystal-clear voice was heard from Julian’s phone.

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they reacted to the situation instantaneously. It was a voice clip!

Soon, everyone listened to it closely.

A relatively unfamiliar voice was heard at the start of the voice clip.

"Brother-in-law, Julian is not in Ningcheng City now. The best time to take down Lanyard Construction has already come. I need..."

After the first few sentences were uttered, the group of people gazed into one another’s eyes and picked up the scent of juicy news!

Susan Shelby immediately reacted to the situation upon hearing this voice. It was Joseph Shaw!

Her pupils contracted involuntarily!

Julian had told her not to be bothered by the issues of Lanyard Construction all this time because he had a trump card that would deliver a fatal blow.

However, Julian had not said what kind of trump card it was.

She had not expected that Julian would actually be capable of grabbing hold of a voice clip of this private conversation!

"Are you confident about this?" Soon, Luke Jenkins' voice was heard.

Susan clenched her fists. She felt an ineffable feeling i n her heart.

She had speculated that Joseph and Luke were the primary saboteurs that had caused Lanyard Construction's issues behind their backs.

Susan did not find Joseph's actions surprising.

However, she had believed that Luke was not that kind of person!

Susan struggled with her mixed emotions as she thought over this matter. The voice clip continued to play, and Charlotte Jenkins' voice was heard next.

The conversation carried on with Luke deciding to work with Joseph.

Then, Joseph began narrating his plan.

"Julian trusts Skyler very much. Skyler has his personal bank account information, yet he has no idea that Skyler is working for me! When I receive the funds, I shall make Skyler... Then..."

Every single one of Joseph’s plans and strategies was exposed before the people of Canada just like that.

Joseph’s face turned ghastly pale at once.

What the heck was actually going on? How had Julian gotten his hands on this voice clip?

What was its significance?

This had proven that Julian had been well aware of their plan since the very beginning. In fact, he had even allowed them to implement the plan on purpose.

It had been a trap right from the start.

Joseph had been under the assumption that he was the one who had set the trap.

However, to his surprise, Julian had set a reverse trap since the very start.

"How did he get the voice clip? Turn off the laptop!” Charlotte was already shrieking in fear.

She had wanted to see Julian get thoroughly defeated all this time. The level of anticipation in her heart earlier had already reached its peak! Unfortunately, regardless of how foolish she was, Charlotte knew that they had lost this time when the voice clip was played.

Still, she was recalcitrant!

How was he capable of doing this? How had Julian and Susan evaded disaster once again?

How had they gotten so lucky?

Charlotte, who was hysterical, wanted to turn off her laptop as if her action could stop Julian from continuing to play the voice clip.

"Idiot!" Joseph shoved Charlotte away and said in a cold voice, "What's the point of turning off the laptop now? Why don't you think about how the voice clip ended up in Julian's hands? There were only three of u s in the room when that conversation took place!

Other than the three of us, no one could have gotten that voice clip. Tell me, who is the person who leaked the voice clip?"

"Why would I disclose the voice clip? I want nothing more than to see that b*tch Susan Shelby die!" shrieked Charlotte.

Joseph considered this and realized that Charlotte was right. She did not seem like a person who would divulge this information.

However, Luke couldn't possibly have done that either.

The voice clip leak would not benefit Luke, and it was similarly not beneficial to Jenkins Corporation either.

How could Julian possess the extraordinary power to get the voice clip? Joseph could not figure it out.

Luke seemed to have figured something out, however. His expression changed ever so slightly for a moment.

He touched the phone in his pocket as a glint of mixed feelings flashed past his eyes.

If his speculation was right, Julian... was truly terrifying!

Regardless of how recalcitrant Joseph was, the voice clip had been fully leaked by Julian.

The plan concocted by Luke and Joseph was being displayed before everyone.

In the voice clip, Joseph mentioned that Luke was his brother-in-law and part of Jenkins Corporation.

The identities of those three people were obviously evident.

"Is this voice clip a sufficient explanation?" said Julian expressionlessly.

The Sunrise Bulletin's journalist turned green in rage and paled in fear. After a long while, he asked with a sharp tone, "So the death of Skyler Chantier..."

"I suggest that the police investigate closely the death of Skyler Chantier. I suspect that there was foul play involved and it was not suicide. As for the person who did it, I suggest starting by looking into the few people heard in the voice clip." Julian interrupted the journalist.

Sunrise Bulettin's journalist clenched his teeth in rage but was rendered speechless.

The other journalists were already sketching the story in their minds swiftly.

Oh god, there were truly too many highlights about tonight's feast. Which one should they write about?

Should they write about Susan Shelby being the daughter of the Wrights?

Or should they write about the Wrights personally making up for Susan’s debutante appearance?

Should they write about the purgation of the Wrights' injustice? Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Should they write about the truth being brought to light in the case of Julian Shaw's false accusations?

Or should they write about Julian pointing out that Skyler Chantier's death was a suspected homicide?

There were so many highlights that they were rather troubled.

Although the journalists were troubled, they enjoyed it.

The feast ended while the storm was brewing.
