Chapter 54 Out Of The Woods


    Madam Jenkins scoffed once. "That Susan girl is a homewrecker. Your brother was dating her


    before the ident. I have no idea what sort of tricks she used to entice your brother such that he


    refused to listen to m y advice. He insisted on marrying that woman. Think about what our Jenkins


    family is like - can we take i n a woman like her? Who knows what her end goal is b y being with


    Luke!"


    Charlotte Jenkins nodded in agreement.


    "However, your brother got into the identter on. The ident came as a blessing in disguise


    because h e lost his memories with her. I thought that this was considered an end to that


    rtionship originally and yet I didn''t expect that the incident would still linger o n inexorably."


    Madam Jenkins clenched her teeth in rage as she was speaking. "She is still hanging on to our


    Luke and refuses to let go of one hand while she has actually reached for Julian Shaw with the


    other hand! This woman is simply a wh*r*, so promiscuous that she makes every man her


    husband." 1


    "This woman''s trick in enticing men is rather superb, huh." Charlotte was gnashing her teeth in


    anger as well.


    What the heck was going on actually with them? How did the elder brother and younger sister both


    get defeated by this woman''s hands?


    Madam Jenkins took a nce at Charlotte and suddenly said, "I still haven''t asked you this - what’s


    the matter with you and Julian? What did you mean when you said, ''Take it as a favor from our past


    rtionship,'' huh?"


    Charlotte''s face blushed scarlet.


    "You and Julian...” Madam Jenkins frowned.


    Charlotte bit her lower lip. "I used to date him secretly for a while before I went overseas. I didn''t tell


    you because I was afraid that the family would object to the rtionship."


    "Julian is actually considered a rather impressive candidate," said Madam Jenkins.


    "Mother, you don’t object to him?" A wisp of joy shed past Charlotte''s eyes.


    "Why should I object to him? Julian was a rather wild man in the past, but a man will always go


    through that frivolous phase when he is young. I can tell that his scandals have reduced significantly


    and he is a much more steady fellow nowpared to the past," said Madam Jenkins.


    Madam Jenkins'' supportive attitude came as a surprise to Charlotte. She was joyous at first for a


    moment, then a look of chagrin shed past her eyes." However, I don''t know what kind of trick


    Susan used t o make herself Julian''s wife sessfully." "They''re married?" Madam Jenkins was


    shocked.


    "That''s right.” Charlotte said unwillingly, "Madam Shaw told me personally so it must be true. I don''t


    understand what Julian sees in her actually."


    Madam Jenkins squinted her eyes. "Since you''ve met Madam Shaw before, are you aware if


    Madam Shaw is pleased with her?"


    Charlotte shook her head. "Madam Shaw is not very fond of her actually, maybe it was Julian who


    insisted on marrying her."


    "I don''t think so." There was a profound glint in Madam Jenkins’ eyes. "If they’re just lovers, Julian is


    already doting on Susan sufficiently yet his effort is still far from enough if Susan is his wife.


    Charlotte, consider this closely. If Julian really doesn''t love her, for an event as grand as marriage,


    why would he not even give her a wedding despite the Shaw family''s background? Also, I only


    found out about the marriage from you earlier. It means that both Madam Shaw and Julian didn''t


    take Susan seriously as Mrs. Shaw!"


    Charlotte found Madam Jenkins'' analysis sensible and her eyes lit up. "Mother, so you''re saying


    that..."


    "Charlotte, do you really love Julian?" Madam Jenkins squinted her eyes.


    "Yes," said Charlotte without the slightest hesitation.


    "If that''s the case, don''t worry. I''ll surely fulfill your wish." A cunning look shed past Madam


    Jenkins’ eyes.


    Her son was already entrapped in Susan''s hands and there was no telling how the situation would


    turn out yet as of now.


    She would never allow this woman to destroy even Charlotte''s happiness.


    "Mother, have youe up with any ideas?” Charlotte could not help but feel rather excited.


    Madam Jenkins had a calm expression on her face." Let''s discuss everything else when your


    brother awakens. Don''t worry. I will make sure that both your brother and you can live a good life!


    Don''t even think about trying to ruin your lives."


    Charlotte could not help but feel at ease and convinced in view of Madam Jenkins’ confidence.


    Meanwhile, the CEO of Jenkins Corporation and Luke’s father, Richard Jenkins, walked over in a


    rush.


    "Have you invited Julian toe over? Where is he? I have to go and meet him in person. I


    coincidentally have a project on hand that I wish to coborate with the Shaw Corporation."


    Madam Jenkins frowned involuntarily. "Project, project, all you think about is your project. Do you


    show your concern for Luke who is in aa? Where were you even before this?"


    An impatient look shed past Richard’s eyes. "Luke suddenly fainted during the event. Don''t I need


    to make arrangements for our numerous guests and don''t I need to exin to them about the


    situation? I’m not a doctor. What use would I be in caring for him? Tell me quickly, where is Julian!"


    "You!" A wave of deep anger could be seen in Madam Jenkins’ gaze.


    She did not care about how her husband was a womanizer indulging in the world of wine and


    women outside. Yet, how could he treat his own son with this attitude? Was this man still a human


    being?


    ''Heh-heh. He must be listening to his mistress'' provocation and he wants to let his illegitimate child


    inherit the Jenkins Corporation? In your dreams!’


    Madam Jenkins suppressed her anger forcibly and said coldly, "Julian is staying in the third room on


    the east side."


    "Alright." Richard left eagerly.


    Madam Jenkins gazed gloomily at his departing silhouette. There was an icy coldness hidden in her


    gaze.


    "Mother...” Charlotte tugged at her arm.


    "Charlotte, I''m okay." Madam Jenkins patted Charlotte''s arm in relief. A wisp of coldness shed


    past her eyes. "Don''t worry. What''s yours will be yours. No one is allowed to take that away."


    Whether it was Susan, Richard''s illegitimate child, or even Richard himself, she would never allow


    them to ruin her son and daughter’s lives!This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    At night...


    Luke Jenkins’ mental state was stabilizing more and more under Susan Shelby’s meticulous care.


    His breathing sounded more even as well.


    Susan could not help cracking into a gratified smile upon seeing his expression calming down


    slowly.


    The day was breaking gradually.


    The doctor came over to examine Luke and said, "Mr. Jenkins'' situation has already stabilized. I


    believe that he is going to wake up soon."


    "Really?" A smile of pure joy appeared on Susan''s face.


    "All thanks to your good caretaking," said the doctor with an approving gaze.


    Susan maintained her initial posture almost throughout the entire night. She barely moved for a full


    night so he figured that her arms must be severely numb and sore. He was impressed by how she


    managed to sustain her effort.


    "I’m okay as long as he is doing fine," said Susan while she rubbed her head subconsciously.


    She felt rather tired from staying up all night.


    "Ms. Shelby, I believe Mr. Jenkins is sleeping rather soundly by now. Why don’t you try pulling out


    your hand," suggested the doctor.


    It was true that Luke was sound asleep. Susan managed to pull out her hand after a short while.


    Madam Jenkins appeared by the door with a smile on her face after learning that Luke was already


    out of the woods. 1


    "Susie, I must really thank you for doing this," Madam Jenkins said sincerely.
