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

Chapter 550 Threat

Susan Shelby was detained in the room.

Rivera and Bruce gazed into one another's eyes with anxious expressions on their faces.

Sir and Madam had handed over Susan to their care because they trusted them. If anything were to happen to Susan, they would die.

At the thought of the hint given by Susan before she was shoved away, Rivera could not help asking someone, "Can you please lend me your phone? I'd like to make a call."

The other person looked at him with a spurious smile and then said in a straightforward and concise manner, "No." "Why not?" Bruce was more impulsive

temperament-wise, so he could not refrain from shouting.

"Why not?" That person looked at both of them mischievously as if he was a cat playing with a mouse. "Because there's nothing you can do about it."

Rivera and Bruce's faces turned green with rage at once.

The more unpleasant their expressions were, the more amused this group of people were. They chatted with mocking smiles on their lips.

Rivera narrowed his eyes and moved his fingers ever so slightly.

These people looked more like gangsters from the streets. They stood and sat in a slacking manner. He was confident that he could take down everyone on the scene within one minute.

Bruce had the same thought.

Just as these two brothers were preparing to take action, a flattering voice was heard.

"Mr. Shaw, how can we help you? You can just give us a call if you have any orders. Why do you have to go to the trouble to come here?"

Before the voice died away, a man stooping low to curry favor walked into the room with another man.

Rivera and Bruce were surprised upon seeing the man.

"Mr. Shaw!" They hastily stood up.

Julian Shaw's dangerous gaze moved in circles around the hands of the two people in handcuffs, but he did not utter a word.

Zane suddenly felt chills run down his spine.

Initially, he had been wondering why an important person would appear in a small place like this all of a sudden. As it were, the two detained people were actually acquainted with Julian.

Zane felt an ominous presentiment suddenly well in his heart.

Before Julian could speak, he shouted in a stern voice, "What the heck are you doing? Why haven't you uncuffed them? Quick!"

Those people did not seem to be bothered much. One of them even had the courage to say casually, "Zane, you have to think this through properly. These people were arrested by the deputy director general personally. Without the deputy director general’s orders, we can't release them."

As this person was speaking, there was a disdainful glint in his eyes.

They were subordinates that had ruled the world with Holden Abott back in the day. When Holden had flourished, he had made proper arrangements for them naturally. Over the years, these people

had fearlessly supported Holden.

Zane's expression turned unpleasant at once when he was opposed by his subordinates.

Julian took a glance at him with a spurious smile and said nonchalantly, "It seems that Zane's authority is not that impressive.”

Zane loathed Holden to the bone for embarrassing him. This time, he let out a cold grunt and addressed those people. " Are you sure that you won't release them?”

"I won't," said the other person without the slightest hesitation.

'Very well then." A cold glint flashed past Zane’s eyes. He waved his hand and ordered the people behind him, "Go ahead! Uncuff these two."

The sudden change in Zane’s attitude made Holden's subordinates gaze into one another's eyes. They were immediately caught by surprise and they felt bewildered.

What was going on? Zane had always been afraid of opposing the deputy director general in the past because of the director general. Why was he behaving like this today...

Zane was too lazy to explain himself. In fact, an elated glint had even flashed past his eyes for a moment. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

The situation was already very apparent. Holden had offended someone that he shouldn't have. Even though the director general was his father-in-law, he was already doomed!

If that was the case, why would Zane still need to put up with this?

Zane released Rivera and Bruce at lighting speed and then looked at Julian in a flattering way. "Mr. Shaw, look. Are you satisfied?"

"Where's Ms. Susan?” Julian asked Rivera and Bruce right away.

Rivera said coldly, "She was taken into the interrogation room!”

Zane's heart was beating loudly.

'These two people are actually just servants? How, how about the person who is detained in the interrogation room?'

"That is my wife," said Julian with a spurious smile as if he could read Zane's thoughts.

A drop of cold sweat slid down Zane's

forehead.

He said in a voice close to a shriek, "Which interrogation room is she in? Release that person! Release that person immediately!"

Coldness radiated from Julian’s eyes.

"Zane, there's no need to be in such a rush. I remember that there’s usually a one-way mirror for observation purposes in an ordinary interrogation room. Can you please take me there?”

"Sure, of course." Zane agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Next, he led Julian to the observation room.

The observation room and the interrogation room were separated by a layer of glass. The unique composition of the glass allowed Julian and the others to see the situation in the interrogation room clearly while the people in the interrogation room could not see them at all.

Zane brought along a few people to check out the situation in the interrogation room.

The sound from the room was transmitted clearly into the observation room via special equipment.

Holden smacked the table and said coldly," Name, gender, race! Why do you refuse to answer even one of the questions I've asked you?"

Susan took a glance at him nonchalantly." It's an arbitrary arrest, so I have the right not to answer your questions."

"Arbitrary arrest? Don’t you know that I'm the f*cking law and order in this place?" Holden was growing impatient.

Susan raised an eyebrow and refused to say anything else.

Meanwhile, Autumn Abott could not refrain from speaking. "Holden, stop talking nonsense and get down to business straight away."

Holden narrowed his eyes and said nonchalantly, "Shelby, you have already committed a huge offense by publicly attempting to murder my younger sister. With just one word from me, you could spend the rest of your life in prison."

Her offense had turned into a public murder attempt just like that? Susan did not even bother batting an eyelid.

Upon noticing Susan's calm demeanor, Holden felt even more infuriated. "Don't you think that you'll be fine just because you won't talk!"

Susan remained silent.

Holden frowned ever so slightly and said in a cold voice, "Frankly, I'm not an unreasonable person. Even though you've committed a huge offence, there is still leeway to make an exception. I heard that you are selling off a villa?”

Villa? Susan raised her eyebrows ever so slightly.

"This is it. You can transfer the ownership of the villa to my sister's name. I shall then make a decision and drop the case," said Holden.

“Holden, how could you drop the case just like that?” Autumn shrieked. "Make her hand over the villa and then imprison her for 10 to 20 years!”

Otherwise, it would be hard to vent the pent -up rage in her heart.

“What do you know?" Holden took a glance at Autumn impatiently.

Did his younger sister really think that he was capable of doing whatever he wanted?

He threatened Susan to hand over a villa and then released her. He wanted to use this case to seal Susan's lips so that she would not make irresponsible remarks. That way, they would be fine.

Even though he was a rampant person, he was not brainless.
