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

Chapter 112 Excuses

Sheldon was speaking flatteringly, "Mr. Shaw, surely, your lover..." Suddenly, he paused and looked at Susan in disbelief, as though he had just realized the implications of Julian's words.

Julian was saying that... Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Susan, Susan Shelby was his lover?

Visible droplets of sweat formed on Sheldon's forehead. Did he hear wrongly? Was he having an illusion?

Then, he turned to look at Lily, only to realize that Lily was also in disbelief.

Susan?

Susan was Julian Shaw’s lover?

No way!

She never noticed them interacting intimately in the office.

Besides, was it not true that Susan was married?

However, Lily had never heard about Mr. Shaw getting married.

Could it be that...

Susan was not married, but she found a sugar daddy instead?

Was that why she never wore her wedding ring and the so-called husband never appeared?

Having a sugar daddy was not something to be proud o f, after all.

But, this time, why did Mr. Shaw publicize it?

It seemed like this coquette was quite skilled at her job.

Lily could not help but feel jealous.

"Well, go on and repeat for me," Julian said expressionlessly, "Why did Susie seduce you?"

"It's... It's because...” Sheldon stammered.

The reason he gave previously was that Susan seduced him to get into the top ten finalists.

However, in reality, she was Julian's lover!

The Shaw Corporation was the major sponsor for this competition!

Instead of seducing him, would it not be much more convenient to seduce Julian instead?

His reasoning did not make sense at all!

"Why are you stammering? Why don’t you talk about the reason why Susie was seducing you? Is it because you're young and handsome? Or is it because you are powerful?" Julian's voice was as cold as ice.

One drop, two drops!

Sweat kept dripping down from Sheldon's head as he stammered, "Perhaps... perhaps I misunderstood something... Ms. Shelby probably didn't mean it that way. It’s a misunderstanding!"

"A misunderstanding?” Susan was mad, "That's not what you were saying. You insisted that I was trying t o seduce you, and not once did you say that it was a misunderstanding!"

Chance was in shock from what Julian said, and he finally realized what was happening, “Exactly! It didn’t sound like a misunderstanding at all!"

Some observant people played along, "Yeah, Mr. Parsons. You were so confident that you said you would bet your whole reputation on it."

"You..." Sheldon glared at the person, hoping to shut his mouth up.

But everyone else started speaking up, "That's right, I heard it too."

"Me too!"

"Mr. Parsons was clearly trying to set her up."

"Exactly..."

All of a sudden, Sheldon was being attacked by everyone.

The jokes were on him. Sheldon was just slightly reputable in the profession of designer, but an entire kingdom of businesses and networks was in Julian

Shaw's hand. If anyone got on his bad side, one word from him was enough to stop all the construction companies from hiring them!

Under these circumstances, it was not even worth considering whose side to pick.

Besides, since Susan was Julian's lover, what Sheldon said would have been impossible.

How could it be possible for anyone to have their eyes on Sheldon after dating a man like Julian?

"Stop talking nonsense!" Previously, it was Susan who was trying to explain. And now, it was Sheldon's turn." It really was a misunderstanding, I can apologize to Susan, but it really wasn't

intentional. I... there’s no reason for me to set her up!"

"Why not?" Chance said bravely, "Didn't Susie already mention that she witnessed you having sex with Lily? Clearly, the two of you were working together to frame her because of that."

Now, Lily's face went pale too. She said in a panic, "Mr. Shaw... That's not true, nothing happened between Mr. Parsons and me."

"So, you are saying that Susan framed you instead?" Julian's expression turned even gloomier.

"No..." Lily looked around. Everyone was looking at her with despise.

Her face turned even paler.

Previously, she had Sheldon to back her up, so Susan was unable to argue.

But, now that Julian had appeared, everyone picked Susan's side instead.

Besides, what Susan said was true in the first place.

If the situation persisted, no matter how she explained herself, it would only make matters worse.

Once this story got out, on top of Julian Shaw's influence, it would be impossible for her to live normally.

No, it must not go on like that.

Lily gritted her teeth, "Mr. Shaw! There really is nothing between Mr. Parsons and me. I am not sure why Susan lied to everyone. Regardless, the reason why Susan was disqualified was not related to this matter. She was disqualified because she plagiarized my work."

Lily went all out.

She looked at Julian fearlessly, "Even though Susan is your lover, Mr. Shaw, does that make it okay for her to plagiarize? If so, then what does it mean for the rest of us? The people who worked hours to create these designs?"

She was placing a bet!

She was betting that Julian would mind his reputation and stop defending Susan mindlessly.

As long as she insisted that Susan plagiarized her work, there was no way for Susan to re-enter the competition.

Besides, Susan had no real evidence of what happened between Sheldon and her. As long as they continued denying it, no one could do anything.

"That's right, Mr. Shaw. Everything else may be a misunderstanding, but everyone witnessed that Susan plagiarized Lily's work. For that, I have no regrets for disqualifying Susan from this competition." Sheldon quickly played along.

Julian squinted his eyes in anger, "You..."

"Julian." Susan stopped Julian from speaking.

Then, she took a step forward and looked at Sheldon and Lily calmly.

"Are the two of you sure that this design belongs to Lily?" Susan asked.

"Of course, I spent hours creating it," Lily said without a second thought.

“Good," Susan walked towards Lily and pointed at a piece of decoration in the design. "Then, you can tell m e this. Where did the design on this floor mat come from?"

Lily blanked out for a second. She glanced at Sheldon subconsciously and stammered, "What do you mean b y that? I thought of it by myself."

Susan snickered, "The theme for this year is 'mystery'! To incorporate this theme, I went through piles and piles of documents and came across this ancient African totem. I found this totem really interesting - it was aesthetic, wild, yet mysterious. So, I made some changes to the totem and turned it into the design on the mat. If no one believes me, I can find the picture of the totem right now and show it to all of you!"
