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

Chapter 426 Carry On Defending This B*tch!

They could leave the past in the past.

Madam Shaw was very likely weak after being drugged and Susan thought that, as a daughter-in- law, she should take good care of her. In fact, it was meaningless now to bring up the past since it had already happened.

Susan looked very positive, so Madam Shaw gently patted her hand in relief.

Involuntarily, Willa said with a chuckle, "You two have a very good relationship, don't you?"

However, she sighed silently, as no one knew how long this 'good relationship' would last.

Madam Shaw and Susan smiled after gazing at each other, seeming quite harmonious. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

A sweaty person was standing outside the door while Susan was feeding Madam Shaw porridge. "Chairman Shaw."

"What are you standing here? Come in. Tell me, what’s the progress of the arsenic incident I got you to investigate?” Julian asked right away.

"I’ve got some news, but..." The man looked reluctant.

"You got the result? What is it?" Julian asked with a heavy tone.

The man scratched his ears and jaw for a while before he continued. "Shall we talk somewhere else, Chairman Shaw? I think Madam Shaw needs a quiet place to rest."

"Just talk here! I'm curious to know who can't wait to take my life!" Madam Shaw said coldly before Julian managed to answer.

“I can't, Chairman Shaw..." The man hesitated.

"Why not?" Madam Shaw was agitated and struggled t o get up from the bed. "Do I have no right to know the truth as a victim? Just say it here. I can take it."

"Calm down, mom." Susan quickly supported Madam Shaw and said, "Just say it. Mom has the right to know.”

Cautiously, the man asked as he took a look at Susan," Are you sure, Mrs. Shaw?"

What did he mean? Susan glimpsed at the man cluelessly.

"Go ahead." Susan agreed, as she was clueless about this.

The man's eyes were filled with uncertainty. However, he took out the item he had prepared since everyone had insisted.

"I found this after searching the entire villa, Chairman Shaw." The man took out a small bag.

"What's that?" Julian asked with a frown.

"It's a bag of sugar, but it was mixed with a very small portion of white arsenic." The man quickly added," There is only half a portion left in the small bag.

Hence, I believe that the other half was added to the soup."

Julian squinted as coldness filled his eyes. "Where did you find this?"

The man said after hesitating, "It... It was in the little lady's room."

Little lady?

Chesney?

Julian had speculated and come up with numerous reasons except this one. He was literally stunned.

Swiftly, he stood up angrily. "The culprit didn't only intend to kill my mom but also kept an eye on Chessie!?"

Chessie was at an age when little girls loved candy, so it was very likely that she would have eaten it if she had seen the bag of sugar!

Should he be grateful that Chessie had not seen the bag of sugar because she was still at kindergarten?

"I got the CCTV footage of the kitchen too. Do you want to have a look? It shows a clear image of the person who added the arsenic into the soup. Chairman Shaw?" the man asked softly when he saw that Julian was very angry.

"Why are you not arresting the culprit since you already know who that person is?” Julian asked furiously.

"I think you should have a look first, Chairman Shaw." The man insisted.

"Play the footage.” Julian urged him with a frown.

The man took out a laptop and played the CCTV footage.

"I have to see who wants to kill me!" Madam Shaw fixed her eyes on the screen coldly.

Indeed, an image of the kitchen was shown on the screen. The time stamp was 7 a.m.

Madam Shaw's soup was prepared at around 7 a.m. and it was supposed to take three hours to make.

Chessie was seen happily entering the kitchen when the footage started playing.

Chessie?

Susan was stunned, as she had a bad intuition! Why would Chessie appear in the CCTV footage?

Chessie seemed to be happily humming a song.

At first, she tried to open the lid of the pot. Unfortunately, she could not reach it, so she got a small stool and carefully climbed up on it.

After opening the lid, she took a small paper bag out of her pocket and added the powder into the pot.

When she added half the powder, she put the bag back in her pocket after mumbling something and then left the kitchen cheerfully.

The room was filled with an awkward silence right after the CCTV footage finished playing.

The man who had delivered the CCTV footage was sweating as he observed the Shaws.

Hallelujah! Had he just found out a highly confidential secret of this rich family? Was he going to be murdered?

The man was busy thinking of nonsense.

"So... Chessie is the one who drugged me?" Madam Shaw slowly asked.

She sounded calm, but a hidden wave was forming silently in her.

Susan immediately felt anxious and involuntarily said, "Look, mom, Chessie is just a little kid. She probably didn't know anything. It must be a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding? We have video proof! How could you tell me that it's just a misunderstanding?" Madam Shaw furiously glared at Susan and pushed away the hot porridge in Susan’s hand.

Susan was shocked, and a soft crash was heard as the bowl dropped to the floor and the hot porridge was spilled on Susan’s hand.

Naturally, she frowned.

"Susie!" Julian hurriedly grabbed her hand and checked it. "How is it? Are you injured?"

"Why are you still defending this woman, Julian?" Madam Shaw, who was extremely pissed off, said angrily, "She is right. Chessie knows nothing. She is just a little girl, so she certainly didn’t know that she was holding a drug! There must be someone behind Chessie and you should know who it is by now!"

Madam Shaw fixed her gaze on Susan furiously as if she was going to tear her apart.

That b*tch had manipulated her feelings!

She could not believe that she had apologized to Susan. She was probably laughing at her by now.

"No, this is not true, mom! Susie is not that kind of person," Julian said firmly.

"What about the video then? What about the white arsenic? Are you gonna tell me that Chessie intended t o kill me?" Madam Shaw started yelling at a higher pitch. "Carry on defending this b*tch, Julian! It's heartbreaking that I gave birth to you!"
