Chapter 138 Deal With It


    It was Luke. It was because of him that Madam Jenkins did not press charges against her. 1


    Susan pressed her lips tight and she did not feel happy even after she solved the mystery.


    "Susie, I just wish for you to give Charlotte another chance. After all, the Jenkins did not hold you


    ountable for my father''s death," Luke implored.


    "Don’t beg her for anything, Luke. This woman is a scum, I..."


    "Shut up!" Before Charlotte could finish her sentence, Luke turned around and gave her a p on


    her face.


    Charlotte was stunned. She had never seen her brother so angry before. Her lips quivered, and she


    lamely swallowed her words back to her stomach pit.


    Luke turned back and looked at Susan once more," Susie, please. I swear that this will be thest


    time."


    Susan looked at him silently. She read the pain and plea in his eyes, and it was something new to


    her.


    She bit her lower lips and turned to Julian, "Julian... Can you leave this to me?"


    Julian frowned. "Susie, she will never get her act together. If we let her go, she might do something


    even worse next time."


    "She won’t! I promise! I''ll lock her up in the house after this. I''ll never let here out again,” Luke


    added.


    "You can lock her up for all you want. You can shut her up in your house for two months or you can


    send her out of the country, I don''t f*cking care. But the question is this: are you sure you can keep


    her in check for the rest of her life?" Julian sneered.


    Luke gritted, "I’ll figure something out."


    "What can you..."


    Just when Julian was about to press on, he felt someone tug at his arm.


    He turned around and looked at Susan, his eyes filled with questions. Gazing at him determinedly,


    Susan said, "Julian, can you let me handle it this time?"


    His brows furrowed deeper, "Susie, I can let you handle it, but you must not be too lenient to her."


    "Don’t worry," Susan Looked at Julian gratefully before turning to Luke who was gazing at her with


    expectant eyes.


    She pressed her lips thin and said, "I can promise you. I won''t press charges against Charlotte, but I


    have a few conditions."


    "Absolutely. I''ll promise you anything!" Luke''s eyes sparkled.


    "First," Susan continued, "You have to hand over her aplice to me." 1


    Luke ented without any hesitation, "Sure, I''ll hand him to you.”


    He would not utter a single word even if Susan wanted the person''s life.


    Susan had expected his answer. Then, she moved on," Second, I don''t want to see her in front of


    me or Julian anymore. Otherwise, we have a witness on our hand, and we can still sue her at any


    time."


    This was also the main reason she wanted Luke to hand over the aplice to her. She could use


    him to keep Charlotte at bay.


    "You want me to stay away from Julian? In your dreams, Susan Shelby, in your dreams!" Charlotte


    screamed.


    Luke threw a stink gaze at her and then nodded straightaway. "Okay, I promise. She will not appear


    in front either of you anymore.”


    Susan let out a sigh of relief before continuing, "That''s it. After you hand the aplice to Julian,


    you can leave with Charlotte."


    "Okay," Luke answered without any qualm. Then, he went over to Charlotte and pulled her up from


    the ground.


    "I’m not leaving, Luke! I''m not leaving!" She began to struggle with all of her might, "Let go of me!


    Julian, help me! Julian!"


    Luke’s voice turned cold. "If I hear one more word out o f your mouth, forget about Julian. I''ll send


    you to prison myself. Don''t think that I won’t do it, Charlotte Jenkins.”


    Charlotte''s body shook. She gnashed her teeth and kept silent.


    As Luke dragged his sister out, he turned around and said, "The aplice is at the door. I''ll leave


    him to you then, Mr. Shaw."


    "Okay," Julian nodded slightly.


    Luke nodded in return before pulling Charlotte out of the room.


    After that, Julian called his men and tied up the aplice.


    Queeny was restless, like a cat on hot bricks as she was clueless of her destiny after seeing what


    happened to Charlotte.


    Charlotte was a member of the Jenkins, a reputable family in Ningcheng City. Even she was not


    able to escape punishment given her high social status, let alone her, who was a nobody that


    worked in Lanyard Construction.

    She dared not imagine anything.


    "Can you let me handle her too, Julian?" Susan looked at Julian.


    "Okay,” Julian nodded.


    Putting on a smile, Susan walked up to Queeny and


    said, “How about you buy me breakfast for a month?"


    Queeny froze. She had already expected the worst, yet this was all she wanted from her?


    Buy her breakfast for a month?


    ''Is she kidding with me?''


    "You don''t want to? How about half a month, then?" Susan pressed on.


    "It''s okay, it’s okay," Queeny finally came around and hastily said, "I wouldn’t say no even if you


    asked me to buy you breakfast for half a year or a year, let alone a month."


    Susan was tickled pink by Queeny’s reply. She chuckled, "That’s a deal then."


    Queeny fell silent as she looked at Susan. After a short bout of contemtion, she then mustered


    up the courage and said, "I''m sorry, Susie. I didn’t know it was going to get so bad..."


    "Don''t worry. It’s not your fault. You were just ying a prank on me. I understand," Susan


    comforted.


    Queeny’s eyes turned red at Susan’s understanding. Just when she was about to say something,


    Julian chimed in, his voice thick with indignation, "Since Susie has already forgiven you, then why


    are you still here?"


    Queeny was stunned for a brief moment, then she immediately came to her senses. She quickly


    said, "I’ll get out of here now. Mr. Shaw, I''ll leave Susie to you.


    Please take good care of her."


    "Wait. Mr. Shaw and I..." Queeny had already left her sight before Susan could even finish her


    sentence. Stamping her feet, she turned and red at Julian, who appeared calm andposed.


    "Now everybody knows about our rtionship! I can''t hide it anymore!" Susanined, pouting


    her mouth.


    Julian harrumphed, "Woman, am I really that unpresentable?" 1


    He had wanted to announce their rtionship to the public a long time ago.


    "You don''t understand." Unlike Julian, Susan did not feel good about this. Once her rtionship with


    Julian was exposed, her position in Lanyard would be different.


    Lifting his brow, Julian dragged Susan into his embrace. He nted his head on her shoulder as he


    said in a hushed tone, "Susie, you''re my wife. This is something we are bound to face. It''s just that it


    came earlier."


    "I understand Julian." His warm breath tickled her ear.


    Julian''s eyes constricted and his voice turned deeper," But you went easy on them."


    Susan chuckled, "Although Queeny is fond of making sarcastic remarks, she is not a bad person.


    She was just ying a prank on me, and were it not for


    Charlotte, all of this would not have happened. That''s the reason why I went easy on her."


    "Hmm?" Julian yed with Susan''s hair. Then, he whispered into her ear once more, "How about


    Charlotte then? She is trying to kill you."


    "Don''t do that, Julian. It tickles," Susan pushed Julian away, "She has evil intentions toward me, and


    of course I want her to get the punishment that she deserves. However, I felt sorry for the Jenkins


    due to the death of Richard Jenkins. Since it was Luke who helped me back then, I''m just repaying


    the favor."


    Julian squinted his eyes, "If you owe Luke a favor, then how about me? Do you have any idea how


    many favors you owe me?"
