Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 336

“To kill Susie?” Luna’s heart skipped a beat. “But… But why?”

Susie had been just a baby back then. What threat could she have posed?

Jacob explained further in his deep voice, “I have never talked about this matter because I wasn’t sure. I only had guesses. If I had expressed my concerns at the time and it had turned out that I was wrong, I could’ve made everyone tense and anxious for nothing. But now, as you’ve seen yourself, it’s obvious that somebody behind the scenes is doing a whole lot to plot against the Wrights. Please forgive me for being blunt, but if it weren’t for Julian and Susie’s help, I'm afraid the Wrights would have already fallen into his trap.”

“Yeah.” Luna let out a wry chuckle, as there was nothing to deny.

Both George and Oliver were way too frank and honest, so the Wright Family was, in fact, upheld by her. However, she was just one woman. Plus, her body had taken a toll from all the sorrow she had undergone after losing Susan. How could she manage everything under the circumstances?

What had happened this time was not too grave, but it was definitely not trivial either.

However, if Julian had not offered his help to preserve Oliver’s reputation, it was conceivable that the person behind the scenes would only have become more unscrupulous after Oliver lost his credibility.

“That person has not left behind the slightest trace so far, which shows how terrifying he is. Madam Wright, I’ve done some digging. The Wrights’ reputation was restored straight after Susie was snatched back. I’ve never believed in coincidences. The culprits who snatched Susie appeared right on time, just before you were about to go back, right?” Jacob explained slowly.

Luna’s expression changed from time to time during the conversation. “What you’re trying to say is that those people took her on purpose? But we’ve questioned the criminals who snatched her, and they said the kid was bought by a couple after the incident. They looked like they were coming clean during the interrogation… Of course, they could have been kept in the dark by the person behind the scenes.”

A trace of indignation flashed through Luna’s eyes.

So...

There had never been a wealthy business couple who’d wanted to adopt the child.

It had been a conspiracy from the very beginning.

Because they had believed every single word of the culprits, they had only looked into wealthy families while seeking their Rosie all these years. That was why they had failed so miserably in this 20-plus-year-long search.

Jacob also added that when his father had found Rosie, she had almost been drowned in the water.

Luna’s heart could not help but fill with a sense of fear.

This was really a God-blessed incident. She had been so close to never seeing her Rosie ever again.

Luna’s expression continued to change. “Jacob, just spill out whatever your gut is telling you.”

Jacob did not plan to keep Luna in suspense. Thus, he got straight to the point once again. “I think this person had access to some insider information in advance. He knew that Master Wright would be awarded power and a position once he got back. For some reason, he didn’t want to see the Wrights come back, but he couldn’t do anything about it from the position that he had back then. Thus, he ordered someone to snatch Susie away. After losing your daughter, you were feeling devastated all these years, and this affected your ability to take care of the Wrights’ external affairs. Without you by Master Wright’s side to remind him about things, it was way easier to get him to make mistakes because he is a very straightforward man. Besides, losing Susie directly affected your well-being. Firstly, you being unwell made Master Wright unable to devote himself to work because he was worried about you. Secondly, it prohibited you from helping Master Wright thoroughly. If the higher-ups had not trusted Master Wright so much and protected him all this while, I am afraid that the Wrights would have been gone a long time ago.
