CHAPTER 274 THE SCANDAL
Chapter 274 The Scandal
Archie frowned.
"I don't have time for that."
"It's going to be quite late after this. Do you have anything else to do?"
Archie didn't answer her this time.
Natalia didn't eat much and was full soon.
When the lunch was over, Selena pointed at the untouched sea squirt on Natalia's plate and said,
"Natalia, you forgot to eat this."
Natalia rubbed her belly and smiled, "Sorry, but I'm too full."
And she put that on Archie's plate.
"Honey, will you eat this? Miss Kawn came all the way to bring us this. Don't waste it."
Archie nodded and said ok.
Selena froze.
Faye wanted to say something but didn't dare because Old Mrs. McCarthy was staring at her.
Natalia was finally satisfied.
After the meal, Archie went to the study to talk to his grandfather. The old lady was chatting with a
group of women in the living room when Natalia's phone rang and she went outside to answer it.
It was Iris.
Although she was no longer in charge of the affairs of Annie International, she still retained her
position. If there was any problem, they could still ask her to help.
Everyone knew she was the boss's wife and was willing to listen to her.
Iris said, "Natalia, now we have a complicated case that we can't handle on our own. Would you mind
helping me?"
Natalia nodded, "Go ahead."
Then Iris told her the whole story.
This time, it was about an artist named Maxwell Cohen, who worked for Annie International.
She didn't know Maxwell, but she had seen him.
He became well-known these two years.
He had five million followers on Twitter and was on a couple of period dramas. He was quite handsome
but his acting was pretty bad.
She didn't know much about him. She only knew that his fans were always fighting with others on
Twitter.
And this man was always caught up with scandals every time he played a role in a series. There was a
time that his fans trashed every actress he had worked with.
This time, he was caught entering a hotel with a mysterious businesswoman.
And his private account was found. Their intimate pictures and videos were also discovered.
What's more, the woman's husband now knew about it. He was divorcing that woman and wanted to
get more money from it.
So, Maxwell was now targeted by her husband.
And if Maxwell couldn't handle it well, his career would be completely ruined.
Natalia heard the whole thing and she thought Maxwell totally deserved it.
If they hadn't invested too much on him before, she wouldn't help him at all.
Natalia felt that this concerned the interest of the investors and she had to ask Archie first.
So, she asked Iris to calm down and said that she would call her after she asked Archie.
Iris thanked her and agreed.
After she hung up, Natalia checked the time and figured that they were still talking.
Generally speaking, it was not a big deal. She did not need to hurry. So, she didn't disturb them and
decided to take a walk in the back yard alone.
There were many precious flowers and plants in the back yard and all kinds of fragrant flowers and
trees were on the sides of a gravel road.
Natalia was walking slowly along the gravel road when she heard a quarrel ahead of her.
Her curiosity drove her to walk towards the source of the sound.
"Selena, how could you do this to me? I came back to Eqitin for you. I was almost framed and killed.
How can you break up with me now?"
"That's enough! I warned you not to come to me again! What happened before was your own fault. It
has nothing to do with me."
"Selena, why are you being so cruel?" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
The man's voice sounded familiar to Natalia. She looked through the branches and was startled.
Maxwell?!
Why was he here?
He knew Selena?
Thinking about the case Iris told her, Natalia became curious.
In the sunlight, Maxwell's face was thin and pale. He was held Selena's hands and begging her, but
Selena threw his hands away impatiently.
"Maxwell! I told you I don't love you! I was simply playing with you. Don't you understand? If you keep
harassing me like this, I won't be this patient."
"Selena..."
Maxwell begged, "Why do you have to leave me? I love you so much!"
Natalia shook her head. She thought he was smarter than that.
Selena was using him as a tool, and he thought she really loved him.
Although she didn't know why Selena was with him before, as a woman, she could tell that Selena
really hated him.
She recalled Selena's attitude towards Archie and figured out what was happening.
"Selena! Do you really want to be so cruel? Do you have any idea how much I've done to be with you,
and this is how you repay me?"
Selena sneered.
"What you mean? You simply got rid of that old woman. If that's what you called devotion, then forget it.
You make me disgusted."
"You! You monster! I broke up with her because I wanted to be with you, and now people found out
about what happened between me and her. My company will toss me away! And now you're telling me
you're dumping me! Then what's the point? What's the point?"
Selena laughed coldly.
"Did I told you to do any of those things? Did I tell you to break up with that old woman? And now
you're threatening me with that? What do you want? You want me to marry you? Get lost now. If not, I'll
do anything to make you suffer!"
