Chapter 283 I Was Kidnapped
Outside the door, Jacob was waiting nervously.
As Julian carried Susan out from the operating room i n his arms, his pupils contracted instantly,
"Julian, what hap..."
"No big deal, she is just tired." It had just been a few short minutes and now Julian''s eyes were
bloodshot." I will send her home first."
"Okay." Jacob nodded.
As expected, Luke was still waiting at the doorsteps of the hospital.
Seeing Susan in Julian’s arms, his brows creased. " Julian Shaw, I am warning you, don''t you hurt
Susan even a tiny bit more, she’s..."
"Scat!" Julian asserted while shooting an unconcerned re at Luke.
Julian had done such barbaric things and he still had the ground to show him attitude. As Luke was
about t o lose it, Julian had helped Susan into the car.
Luke’s palms clenched into fists subconsciously.
Even though the attitude Susan gave to him while in the room could not be considered pleasing,
that was because she was being deceived by Julian Shaw. Or maybe, Susan understood the power
and influence that Julian possessed, and she might embroil the
Jenkins into the matter.
Yes, he was nowhere nearparable to Julian Shaw. But this was only the beginning.
Someday in the future, he would make sure that Julian lost all that he possessed, everything that he
relied on to make things go his way.
At that time, his mother’s rancor and resentment would be avenged, and Susie would return to his
side.
Luke suddenly felt that his cooperation with Joseph Shaw should be elerated!
When they arrived at home, Julian tucked Susan into their bed cautiously.
Susan huddled herself up subconsciously as soon as she was in the bed.
"Susie, you..." Julian wanted to say something.
"Julian, just leave for a while." Susan’s voice was so parched it was like she had not been drinking
for days. “I wish to be alone.”
Looking at her pale appearance, Julian was in extreme distress.
But the hint of determination found in her eyes was so firm that it was unquestionable.
Julian remained quiet for some time, then he spoke softly, "Susie, we only have three days. If it
takes longer than that, it''ll be too risky.” "I know that," Susan replied faintly while turning her head
away.
Julian silently gazed at her for a second and exited the room.
He closed the door carefully, giving Susan the space she needed.
"Susie is all alone. Will she be alright?" Jacob asked with a frown.
Julian took his cellphone out, unlocked the screen, and operated on it for a moment. A live video of
Susan then appeared on the screen.
In order to prevent certain mishaps, Julian had hidden cameras installed in all rooms of the mansion
- they were not activated during normal times.

With the existence of the cameras, Jacob felt a little relieved.
Both of them stared at Susan through the screen -she was all curled up in the corner of the bed,
weeping her heart out in silence. The scene was almost unbearable for the two fully grown men.
Such a decision was just impossible, all parents in the world would be torn.
Julian looked at the phone for a bit and could not help but pound the sofa beside him to release all
the pent-u p rage.
If it were not for Luke''s interruption, things would not have gone so badly.
He could have exined it to Susan after they had aborted the baby, and it was already an
established fact. Susie would be devastated, but as long as he was there by her side, both of them
would be able to ovee this hardship.
But now... Susie had to make the decision herself.
Such pain was a thousand times more unendurable than facing the result directly.
"How did the information get leaked? Why did Luke appear suddenly?" Julian''s voice was cold and
stern, like the gusting wind from nowadays.
"You''re right." Jacob''s expression turned grave. They had thought and done so much to keep the
matter a secret, so how did it get leaked inexplicably?
Jacob squinted his eyes, "Other than you and me, there shouldn’t be anybody else who knows
about this. Both of us wouldn''t have done so."
As he spoke, Jacob''s facial expression became more pressing as he arrived at a lightbulb moment.
That was not right. Other than the two of them, there was another person who knew.
Julian and Jacob exchanged a nce and mentioned a name: "Anna!"
Anna knew about the whole thing too!
Jacob was so ashamed that his expression distorted almost instantly.
The process of how Anna got to know the matter was rather fortuitous - she had misheard the
whole n i n the restroom.
ording to her, it was an ident, and Jacob believed in her.
Come to think of it, how could there be so many coincidences in reality?
"Where’s Anna?" Jacob yelled suddenly.
"She seems to have been gone for quite some time already." Julian''s expression changed while
realizing that.
In fact, Anna went to the hospital with Jacob, but ever since Susan entered the operating room,
Jacob and Julian were so anxious that they had forgotten about Anna''s existence.
That woman actually disappeared!
Jacob''s hands clenched into fists.
She just disappeared, and that was a fact. Was guessing the culprit even necessary?
Anna must have left and leaked the information when Julian and he were in distress while waiting
for the procedure.
After that, Luke happened.
Anna was a mole from the very beginning. 2
After getting to the conclusion at lightspeed, Jacob felt a sharp pain in his chest out of a sudden.
Many scenes shed by in his mind. 1
The warm sun was shimmering, he woke up on his sickbed, and he stared at the woman who was
knitting a knee guard just beside him. She was so focused.
It was in the bathroom where she got startled by a cockroach, and they got entangled due to the
pesky bug and Susan witnessed the whole scene coincidentally. Susie wasughing out loud, while
she fed him porridge through all the awkwardness.
Then there was the appearance of Jenny Carter. She got all flustered, and the knives were all out
for Jenny.
Ever since Jenny simply gave up hiding it, those vivid looks resembled the cat which she used as
her phone wallpaper.
There were a lot ofmotions, but there was also an indescribable hint of innocence and
cuteness.
But in the end... She turned out to be a traitor.
In that moment of excruciating pain, while in an entranced state, only did Jacob realize that, in just a
few days, that woman named Anna had already left so many imprints on his heart.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that he might have fallen for this fairylike
woman.
However, she was a mole.
His feelings towards her metamorphosed into pure wrath in a split second.
In that instant, he could not have hated himself more.
If he did not have a soft spot for Anna and saved her from Julian, all of these things would not have
happened.
And Susie would not have to face such an agonizing dilemma to make a choice.
Anna! Anna! Anna!
Jacob''s eyes turned bloodshot.
He had once fallen into the hands of a woman.
And he had done it again.
This time, he had brought harm to his baby sister.
Jacob''s appearance did not look right at all.
Julian could not help but express his opinion." Brother, it might not be Anna."
"If not her, who else?" Jacob mped his jaw. "If it was not her who leaked the news, why would
she disappear all of a sudden! And she doesn’t even have the guts to resurface up until now."
At that exact moment, Jacob''s phone rang.
Jacob picked up the call, and an exasperated female voice came through the phone, "Mr. Shelby,
it''s me, Anna. I was kidnapped! And I barely escaped! I borrowed a cellphone from a passerby and
called you immediately."
