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

Chapter 545 Five Years

Although Susan had told him not to disclose her whereabouts to Julian, Jacob thought about it and went to the office.

It was already late at night, but Julian's office was still brightly lit.

Ever since making that agreement with Willa, Julian had been working overtime until late at night. Except for the five hours that he had promised, he did not want to see that woman for even an extra minute.

"You're still working overtime." Jacob opened the door and a hint of clarity flashed through his eyes.

In just a few days, Julian had grown a messy beard. Although he was still breathtakingly attractive, he seemed indescribably dispirited.

"Apart from work, I don't know what else I can do now." Julian's voice sounded a little hoarse.

Upon seeing him like that, Jacob felt slightly bitter deep down.

Julian was trying to numb himself by desperately submerging himself in loads of work.

Susan was trying to deceive herself by escaping the city.

Obviously, they were still deeply in love with each other, but fate just had to make them torture each other like this.

Jacob took a deep breath and then said," Susie disappeared with the kids.”

The fountain pen that Julian was holding in his hand dropped onto the desk with a snap!

He stood up at once, his bloodshot eyes becoming very clear in an instant." Disappeared? Where is she? The virus is about to flare out tomorrow!"

Julian dashed toward Jacob and grabbed him by the hem of his collar, "How did you lose her? How can so many people fail at guarding one woman?"

Julian’s voice was almost a roar.

He had been resisting not to going to see Susan for days.

Only God knew how agonizing this was for him.

The reason he had barely held back was that he believed that many people were around Susan, so everyone would be able to take good care of her.

Now, Jacob was telling him that Susie had disappeared! What did this mean?

The virus would relapse tomorrow. If she was not there to take the antidote, Susan would die. She would die!

"Calm down." Jacob realized that Julian had misunderstood and quickly added, " She only left temporarily. We are aware of her whereabouts."

They were aware of her whereabouts?

Julian took a few breaths and then finally loosened his hands, which were clasping Jacob's collar.

He took another deep breath and apologized. “I’m sorry. I lost my cool back there.”

"It's okay. If I were in your place, I’d be even more anxious," Jacob said calmly.

Julian sat down on the sofa dejectedly. " Susie left Skyking City... because she doesn't want to see me, right?" "That should give you an idea of how deeply she was hurt," Jacob added.

A hint of excruciating pain flashed across Julian's eyes.

He muttered, "I know. Of course I know."

However, what else could he do?

He only wished that Susan could live.

Jacob sighed lightly and then patted Julian on the shoulder. "When Susie discovers the truth, this entire misunderstanding will be resolved."

Could it really be resolved?

Julian let out a wry chuckle.

Even when the truth was out there, proving that he'd had to make too many difficult choices, the damage that had been dealt should have already settled down and become an indelible wound. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He was afraid that he and Susan would not be able to go back to the way they had been even if he waited until the day the truth was revealed. But what else could he do?

He could not do anything at all!

Jacob said in a low voice, "Susie told me not to let you locate her. I've promised her that."

Julian chuckled sarcastically. "She hates me so much now... Of course she doesn’t want me to find her.”

"Her address is in... Jerucity.” Jacob provided him with a detailed address.

Julian froze for a second before he subconsciously memorized the entire address. He could not help but glance at

Jacob in disbelief. "Are you..."

Jacob scoffed. "I only promised her not to let you locate her. I didn't promise her not to tell you her address."

Then, Jacob patted Julian on the shoulder." Don't worry too much. Mr. and Mrs. Wright left two ex- special forces guards by her side to act as her bodyguards. The safety of Susan and the kids is guaranteed. Also, although I told you the address, Susie doesn't want to see you, so you better..."

"Don't worry, I won't let her see me.” Julian let out a wry chuckle.

He naturally understood that Susan had left because she wanted to live a peaceful life. Although he missed her like crazy, how could he bear to disturb her now quiet life?

Jacob nodded. "After you get the medicine, you can send it by airplane to the guards. They'll find a way to inject it into Susan."

Julian agreed.

"I shall leave you alone then." Jacob turned around, ready to leave.

While staring at his back, Julian suddenly said faintly, “Hey, Jacob. Thank you."

Jacob stopped walking and replied in a deep voice, "I still recognize you as my brother-in-law, so there's no need to thank me."

Jacob left after saying that.

Julian murmured, "I’m still your brother-in-law, huh?"

After a long while, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He could not tell Susan the truth yet, so he could only forcefully preserve their relationship by holding on to their marriage.

He still hoped to stay with Susan Shelby and grow old with her.

However, would that really happen?

The Dark Night Agency... Willa Doyle...

A stern, cold light flashed in Julian's eyes.

Yes, that day would come.

Those who should pay the price would pay it.

Now that Susie was not there, he could work even harder and do what he did best, which was solve the problems that should be solved.

That way, when Susie came back, he could tell her everything and never get separated from her ever again.

Time went by quietly yet swiftly. Two years flashed past.

Susan's life in Jerucity had been extremely serene.

She had money and bodyguards, so it was not difficult to assess her status at first glance. Hence, although she was just a woman with two children, the people around her were too afraid to provoke her.

Susan had stayed in touch with Jojen Reed and his crew in the past two years. Other than spending time with her two children, she had completely invested herself in her designs.

She had been using the pseudonym Artemis Shelbon to come up with new designs. She was already a well-known designer in the field, and rich people were asking her for designs from time to time.

However, Susan was not short of money. She was in it for the fun of it, so she was rather capricious with her projects. She would at most pick up one project per month, and sometimes only one per two to three months.

Her impeccable designs, very few pieces of work, and enigmatic identity shrouded the name of Artemis Shelbon with a mysterious chiffon cloak.

While Susan was living her life, the threat of the Dark Night Agency persevered.

Canada had worked hard to convince other countries of the terrible destructiveness of the agency, and almost all the countries in the world, including the United States, had united to hunt down the organization.

Over two years, more than a dozen Yielder labs of the Dark Night Agency had been destroyed, the agency's headquarters had become ruins, the agents of the Dark Night Agency had been running around, escaping the hunt, and the vast majority of its agents had been forcibly arrested by multiple country agencies.

The Dark Night Agency had already disappeared from the books. However, the sole issue was that... the core figure of the agency, the legendary Divine Lord, was still nowhere to be found!

Most of the Yielder labs had been destroyed and the personnel who had gotten arrested had said that the first batch of drugs had not been completed yet, so theoretically, that terrible virus had not been released.

However, who could know if the terrifying and enigmatic Divine Lord had any other tricks hidden up his sleeves?

Thus, the whole world was now searching for the Divine Lord of the Dark Night Agency.

Unfortunately, the Divine Lord had never exposed himself, even within the agency itself. Now that he had fled, it was extremely difficult to locate him. After all, nobody knew what he looked like, so people had no clue who should be apprehended.
