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

Chapter 216 Initiative

When Charlotte saw Luke, she snorted coldly and then went upstairs.

Madam Jenkins said, "Don't be so hard on your sister, Luke. She knows what she did wrong... What if..."

"Mom, I know what I am doing," Luke interrupted, his gaze landed on Mandy as he sized up the woman from a different point of view.

In the past, he thought Mandy was self-willed and arrogant, but she was good at heart. Most importantly, he knew she loved him to the core.

However, Luke was a little skeptical about that now after knowing that she had directed the accident.

According to the young man, the accident was not meant to kill him. That being said, creating an accident was prone to many erratic elements.

For example, his condition on that day was not that good since he did not sleep well the night before. When the accident happened, he could not react in time, and instead of stepping on the brakes, he pushed the accelerator to the max. The silver lining was that he was able to snap himself out of the trance and yank the steering wheel at the last second, steering his car away from the collision path and onto the tree.

In the end, he hit his head.

If Mandy really loved him so much, why would she try to harm him?

A cold glint flitted across Luke’s gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Luke?” Mandy said, her face blushed.

"Nothing. I just feel it's really tough to bear a child," Luke said simply.

He had informed the police to stay out of the matter and kept the young man’s statement hidden. He wanted to find out with Mandy himself. He wanted to ask her why she would do that. Why would she direct a car accident for him?

However, before he could confront Mandy, Julian wanted him to put a bug in her phone. The fact that the man could let go of his dignity and ask for his help meant that whatever Mandy was doing, it must have harmed Susan.

As such, he decided to not confront Mandy right now i n order to help Susan.

"Well, it isn’t that tough either." Mandy’s face flushed pink. This was the first time Luke showed affection to her.

Luke's gaze grew deeper.

At night, he received the software from Julian. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Mandy was currently taking a bath, so this was his best chance. He picked up her phone, installed the software, and then put the phone back in the original spot.

After he installed the software, he then activated the monitoring program on his phone by following the instructions.

From now on, Mandy was an open book to him. He wanted to know how much she was hiding from him.

The software had two functions. One was that it could intercept, record, and send all Mandy's calls to his phone and Julian’s phone. At the same time, it also doubled as a recording device that could capture all the voices and movements around Mandy.

The first function was activated automatically while they could choose to switch the second function on or off. Both he and Julian had permission to turn it on or off. 1

Luke temporarily turned off the second function and told Julian.

"Mandy is with me right now, and I've switched off the second function. I'll turn it on once I'm away from her." 1

Julian raised his brow at the screen.

"Don't worry. I'm not interested in your nightlife."

However, Luke did not reply to him anymore, and the second function remained closed.

Julian could switch it on, but he did not do it.

He put his phone away, and a dark glint crossed his eyes.

'Mandy Ainsley, you better pray that it's not you who's doing all of this from behind.’

"Why aren't you sleeping yet, Julian?" Susan's nasally voice rang out, which immediately softened the hard lines on Julian's face.

Carefully and softly, he walked to the bed and rubbed her head. "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

"Yeah. I just got a nightmare," Susan said with a pout. Her nasal voice sounded really cute to Julian.

"What nightmare is that?" Julian pressed on.

Susan pouted her mouth and said, "I was chased by this big monster. I kept running and running and running, but I couldn’t shrug it off. I'm so exhausted, Julian."

It took Julian a lot not to laugh at her. "Alright, alright. I'm here now."

"Hug me." She snuggled toward him, moving her head to a more comfortable position on his chest.

Smilingly, Julian wrapped his arms around her and said, "You can’t act like a baby anymore since you're going to be a mother soon."

"What do you mean by that?" Susan threw a sidelong glance at Julian. "This is discrimination. I'm going to file a lawsuit against you." "Go ahead. I would like to see which court dares to accept the case." Julian lifted his brow.

"Are you daring me?" Susan shot a glare at him.

"Nope, nope. It’s my fault. I'm sorry," Julian said, pinching her nose.

After a while, something came into Julian's mind and he asked, "Susie, if Luke did not lose his memory, would you still be with me?"

"Who knows? Probably not," Susan replied halfheartedly.

"Susan!" Julian's gaze turned dangerous.

Susan was tickled pink by Julian's reaction. She stuck her tongue out and answered, "Can you not be such a jelly? The past is the past. There is no such thing as 'if in this world.”

Julian thought for a moment and nodded. A triumphant expression crawled upon his face as he said, "You're right. There are no ifs in this world. He lost, and there is no way he can turn the tides anymore."

Susan rolled her eyes at Julian. "Why would you suddenly ask this kind of thing?"

"We found the truck driver today. When I was at the police station, I bumped into Luke. And guess what..." Julian began to tell Susan the story.

Shocked, it took Susan quite a long while to collect herself together. "So Mandy orchestrated the car accident? Is she out of her mind?"

"Maybe. But according to that person, the accident was not meant to kill Luke. Under normal circumstances, Luke would not suffer such severe injuries. At max, he will only get a light concussion, just like you did," Julian said.

However, Susan still found it hard to believe.

She could not believe that if Mandy really loved Luke s o much, then why would she put him in such a dangerous situation?

Be that as it may, it was not her problem anymore. No matter if it was Luke or Mandy, none of them had anything to do with her.

Shooing the thought out of her mind, Susan yawned and mumbled, "I'm tired. Sleep early, Julian."

"Okay." Julian rubbed her hair as he looked affectionately at her.

He did not plan to tell her that he had installed a bug o n Mandy's phone, as it would only make her worry and that was something he did not want to happen. H e decided to wait until he got his hands on some solid evidence before telling her.

On the first night after the bug was installed, Mandy received a call. It was from one of her closest friends, and there was nothing in their conversation.

Julian was never a person who would sit in a passive position. In order to get the evidence as soon as possible, he decided to make the first move.
