My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 No Turning Back

There was also no turning back for Clara either now.

On the one hand, there was Archie, who she could not possibly afford to cross, and on the other hand, there was Dennis, who was now turning her in.

She saw no hope of winning either side.

Now that since she could not afford to cross Archie, she would have to sacrifice Dennis.

As long as she insisted there was something between Dennis and Natalia, what she did today would be just natural.

Not only that, but Natalia would also be blamed for cheating as well.

It was Archie McCarthy. There was no way someone like him would allow his women to mess around behind him.

At that time, not only that Natalia would never get away with it, her position in Archie's heart would also be shaken. It would not be too late to teach her a lesson then.

Come to think of it, the look in Clara's eyes grew even colder.

But the next moment, Dennis hurriedly explained, "Mr. McCarthy, don't believe her nonsense. I have never met Mrs. McCarthy before, how could I have anything to do with her? You can check it up if you don't believe me!"

"You asshole. You coward. Do you remember how you begged for my consent for you to be with Natalia? And you say such nonsense now? Are you even a man?"

Dennis was furious. He pointed his shaking finger at Clara, "You old hag, so you put it all to me now just to get away with it? You frame me and you even frame Mrs. McCarthy? You think you can fool Mr. McCarthy just so easily?"

Clara sneered.

"So you just won't give up. Ok, you said I asked you to help me. Do you have any proof? I haven't blamed you for drugging Natalia yet and you are blaming me now?"

Dennis' face paled.

It was indeed him who had put the drug in that drink.

But he was just doing what Clara told him to do.

And now she wanted to push everything to him?

Dennis was almost mad with anger, but he could not say a word. He could only stare at Clara.

When they were discussing all these things, they just talked face to face, so Clara was sure he could not have any evidence. Now, seeing the angry but silent Dennis, Clara let out a proud snort triumphantly.

Just when Natalia was watching them arguing, a word suddenly came to her mind.

Dogfight.

It was really a dogfight.

They were allies just now. And after being threatened by Archie, they immediately turned their back against each other.

How unfortunate.

Natalia smiled wryly. At that moment, she heard the lazy and cool voice of the man who was sitting next to her.

"I just want to know what happened. And you are fighting. You must think I have got nothing better to do."

The man dug a finger in his ear as impatience flashed across his face.

The faces of Clara and Dennis all paled.

Clara hurriedly explained, her face full of smiles, "Mr. McCarthy, I really did not know your relationship with my granddaughter. That child is indeed hopeless. She should have told us if she is with someone like you. It's indeed our mistake for things like this. Now that we are in-laws now, we should not be mad at each other."

Archie raised his eyes and cast a glance at her, as if he was smiling.

"In-laws?"

Clara felt somewhat awkward, but she did not come back down.

But if he thought about it, now that he and Natalia were married, and Clara was Natalia's grandmother, then Clare should naturally be his grandmother-in-law.

Then they were of course in-laws.

That's also why Clara dared to sit there all the time she was talking.

She thought she was an elder from the Dawson family, and therefore he would not go too far with them and make their relationship awkward.

If he actually believed what she said, and felt suspicious of Natalia, then it would be even better.

She had never expected that damn girl Natalia would bring back any benefits from the McCarthy family anyway. Even if Natalia did get some benefits, thinking of their relation, she would not give a damn to the Dawson family.

So, it would be better if Natalia lost this big backer.

While Clara was deep in thoughts, she heard the voice of Archie.

"Since you just won't tell the truth, I think I will just have to get rid of you both."

Clara was stunned. She raised her head and looked at him and Archie whispered something to the ear of Brian.

Brian left the room immediately, and came back shortly with a large stack of documents.

"Mr. McCarthy, these are all the properties under Mr. Maldonado and Mrs. Dawson."

Archie took them over and flipped through them randomly.

Everyone on the spot was somewhat stunned and did not know what he wanted.

At this moment, he took one piece of paper from the stack and lit it up with a lighter. Slowly, he put the piece of paper on the ashtray in front of him.

It was an estate Dennis' father had given him.

Dennis paled and hurriedly said, "Mr. Mc ... Mr. McCarthy, what are you doing?"

Archie said slowly, "Since you just won't tell me the truth, I will naturally need some ways to pry your mouth open! These are your properties. And I will burn one of them every three minutes. But I will return them to whoever decides to speak first. What do you think?"

'What do you think?'

'How shameless!'

They were all furious but they did not dare say anything. Clara also realized she had been wrong all the time, and Archie had never put her in his eyes.

Her face turned cold, and said in a grim voice, "Mr. McCarthy, these properties have all been registered. What do you think burning a few pieces of paper would do to us?"

Archie turned to her, smiling, "You are right, Mrs. Dawson. You do remind me. Brian!"

Brian immediately took a step forward, "Yes, Mr. McCarthy!"

"Every time I burn one of these pieces, get a company under their name to me. If they don't sell, just crush them, crush them until they go bankrupt. As for their bonds and shares, never mind the poor ones, you should just focus on those profitable. Tell Mr. K, too. I believe he can make them no longer profitable."

Brian tried hard to hold back his laughter, and nodded, "Yes, Mr. McCarthy."

He then turned to leave.

Watching him leave, the Dawsons and Dennis were all nervous.

"Mr. McCarthy, you can't do this!"

"These are all earned with decades of hard work. You can't just destroy them."

Clara only wanted to bite her own tongue off now.

'Why on earth should I say anything against him."

He was just burning some documents, and they could always apply for new ones later. But now, they really got nothing left.

Archie watched them coldly and motionlessly.

"One last chance. Tell the truth or not."

Dennis hurriedly nodded, "I'll tell you everything."

Clara snorted in a stern voice, "Mr. Maldonado, you better think twice!"

How could Dennis ever care about them and he yelled at her, "Enough! You Dawsons can afford this but I don't! I am not like you! Those would be everything I have. My father would kill me before anyone else if I screw it up!"

Clara turned blue with anger.
