Chapter 55 Trick
It was a rare sight to see Madam Jenkins act so kind and pleasant. Susan Shelby realized that she
was overwhelmed by Madam Jenkins'' reaction.
She hastily said, "It''s alright."
"The doctor came over to tell me earlier that Luke is already out of the woods. Susie, it must be
tiring for you to stay up and take care of him all night." Madam Jenkins said kindly, "Here, I''ve sent
my staff to prepare a room for you. Go and take a rest in the room."
Susan turned around to look at Luke to find that he was sleeping soundly. She could not help saying
smilingly, "Alright. Thank you, Madam Jenkins."
"Don''t mention it. I should be the one thanking you instead.” Madam Jenkins lowered her gaze to
conceal the slyness in her eyes.
A servant brought Susan to a guest room. 1
Susan was already incapable of keeping her eyes open. She yawned and asked, "Do you know
where is Julian now??
"Chairman Shaw is still resting in the room. Don’t worry, Ms. Shelby. Chairman Shaw and you are
our honored guests. We will definitely take good care of him," said the servant softly.
Susan nodded. She could not refrain from thinking about throwing herself into bed now.
The servant smiled, "Please rest well. I shall wake you when it’s time for lunch."
The servant retreated from the room as she spoke. Then, she closed the door thoughtfully.
As soon as she departed, Susanid on the bed and drifted to deep sleep in just a few seconds.
In the dining hall.
Charlotte Jenkins walked over shyly with a cake served on a te in her hands.
"Julian, I made you lemon cake. Here...give it a taste." Charlotte looked at Julian Shaw in
anticipation.
Julian looked up nonchntly.
Charlotte was rather skilled in baking. The lemon cake looked scrumptious with its fluffy texture and
beautiful icing. It looked exquisite.
"I don''t like sweet foods," said Julian expressionlessly.
Charlotte hastily added, "The lemon cake isn''t that sweet. It tastes refreshing. Here, try it."
"It’s okay. I''m afraid that I''m going to feel sick for the rest of the day,” Julianmented.
"You..." Charlotte''s body shook ever so slightly. She looked like she was about to throw a fit but she
soon managed to suppress her rage.
Before she met Julian, she also had no idea that she could stoop so low.
After meeting Julian, her pride and dignity of being the Jenkins family''s preciousdy were steadily
losing traction!
For him, she tried to force herself to be a better person.
For him, she entered the kitchen to cook despite her disdain in the past.
Yet, what did she get in exchange?
She received this man''s cold shoulder and nothing else!
Julian was not in the mood to pay attention to Charlotte. He stood up right away.
Charlotte hastily asked, "Julian, where are you going?"
"I''m going to check on Susie," said Julian.

"You can''t,” said Charlotte subconsciously.
"Why can''t I?" Julian frowned.
Realizing that she sounded too desperate, Charlotte lowered her voice and said softly, "It''s the
doctor''s instruction, remember? My brother needs to rest and recover in a quiet environment. Julian,
help us to the end. Just wait for a while longer. The doctor wille and tell us when Luke is fine."
Julian frowned even deeper now.
It had been a full night.
Susan had spent an entire night with Luke all by herself.
The b*st*rd was even holding onto Susie’s hand and refused to let go! 1
How could he allow someone else to take advantage of his woman?
Richard Jenkins came over to see him in the guestroomst night. Richard was constantly talking
about projects with him, but after a short while, he dismissed Richard because how could he
possibly pay attention to discuss projects?
Yet, he found that he was utterly incapable of shutting his eyes to go to sleep after he sent Richard
away as soon as he thought about how Susan and Luke were together.
Meanwhile, he really wished that he could charge in and pull Susan away.
Yet...
Julian hesitated for a moment when he recalled Susan’s pleading gaze. He took a seat once again.
Charlotte could not help exhaling a long breath of relief. She said softly, "Julian, if you don''t feel like
eating the lemon cake, tell me what you like. Then, I shall make it for you, alright?"
Julian raised an eyebrow upon seeing Charlotte''s pretty face. Heid his cards on the table by
saying," What I like to eat is not so much rted to the food
but it is highly rted to the chef."
Charlotte''s smile froze at once. She clenched her fists subconsciously with a dash of shame and
resentment i n her eyes.
She wondered why she was not good enough for Julian such that he had to treat her in such a
manner.
It must be Susan. The woman must be skilled in some voodoo practice. It was not enough for her to
entice her brother — she had to bewitch Julian as well.
Charlotte bit her lower lip unconsciously.
However, it was fine. Her mother said that she would figure out a way to fulfill Charlotte''s wish. It
would not take long before her brother and Julian would reject Susan.
Sooner orter, the position of Mrs. Shaw would be hers.
She needed to bear with it for now!
"Is Chairman Shaw awake? I''m going to see him and discuss the coboration again," Richard said
to his servant as soon as he woke up.
"Chairman Shaw is already awake. However, sir, madam said she has something that she wishes to
discuss with you. She asked you to meet her when you''re awake,” replied the servant respectfully.
"What else can it be with her?" An impatient gaze shed past Richard''s eyes.
The servant looked at him in a pleading manner. "Sir, i f you don''t meet madam, she won''t let me off
the hook."
Richard squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand t o flick at the servant''s chin. He said
mischievously," Alright. I''ll go over and talk to her for the sake of my little precious girl.”
"Thank you, sir.” The servant did not avoid his touch either but she spoke with a charming
expression.
"Remember to express your gratitude to me properly." Richard gave her voluptuous buttocks a tight
p. Then, he left whileughing aloud.
Madam Jenkins was already waiting for him in the study room.
She was already steeping ck tea in the teapot when Richard opened the door and entered the
room.
"What’s the matter? Speak quickly," Richard spat impolitely.
Madam Jenkins cracked into a gentle smile at him." Honey, it has already been a long while since
we’ve chatted properly. Your stomach has not been feeling that well recently. I sent the staff to bring
us the best ck tea. It''s good for your stomach. Come and have some, will you?”
Madam Jenkins either pulled a long face or kept a frown at all times on normal days. It was a rare
sight for her to be so gentle so Richard''s expression
appeared more pleasant as well.
He took a seat and grunted coldly, "Since when have you be so thoughtful?"
"Since when am I not thoughtful? It is only that you have only that homewrecker on your mind."
Madam Jenkins'' words were tinged with jealousy.
Richard was having a good time seeing her being jealous.
He then nced at her and said nonchntly, "If you’d been gentle from the start, would I still need
to look for someone else outside the marriage?"
Madam Jenkins was infuriated by Richard’s bold, selfconceited speech. The expression on her face
almost tensed up in rage.
She remembered her n so she suppressed her impulse to fall out at once. To the best of her
abilities, she gently asked, "Let''s not talk about this anymore. The ck tea is here - would you like
to give it a taste?"
Richard was extremely pleased with Madam Jenkins'' eagerly attentive mannerism.
He picked up the teacup and took a few sips.
A strange glint flickered in Madam Jenkins’ eyes. She asked, "How is it?"
