President’s Sweet Wife

Chapter 84 A Second Chance

Shawn's face darkened.

Jessica grabbed his arm and said in a trembling voice, "Shawn, I didn't..."

Victoria sneered, "Good acting!"

Jessica was speechless.

As the crowd around became more and more suspicious, she couldn't stand it anymore.

She looked at Natalia sadly and said in a trembling voice, "Natalia, I didn't expect you to say that even

now! Well, if you insist that I had set you up, I have nothing to refute. But you can't prove what you said

just by these empty words!"

Jessica's admirers around couldn't bear to see her so sad and fragile.

Some of them shouted, "Yes, you didn't explain it five years ago. Now that it has been so long after

that, how can you prove you were innocent?"

Victoria was stunned.

She had been following Natalia's plan all this time, but she didn't expect this to happen.

Seeing this, she glanced at Natalia.

With a cold smile on her lips, Natalia was about to speak.

"Who said it can't be proved?"

A cold and calm voice suddenly came from outside.

The voice seemed to be wrapped in the chilly wind outside, with a clear, cold air, which shocked

everyone.

Natalia was also surprised. She looked at the door in disbelief and saw the tall figure walking in.

Archie McCarthy?

Why was he here?

The people around were also stupefied.

Many of the people who attended the school anniversary today were famous and influential in society.

Of course, not all of them had a good relationship with Archie, but they all knew him.

After all, he was the person who would appear on financial news every week.

But... Why was he here?

Was the Riverside High School so powerful now? It was just a school anniversary. How could such a

big shot be invited?

Everyone was delighted, thinking that it would be a pride for them since such a big shot had respected

their old school so much to come here in person.

However, Archie’s cold eyes swept across the crowd and were finally fixed on Natalia.

"Since the two both said that the work is their own, why don't we let them compete again and redraw

the work of five years ago? It would then be obvious who had lied five year ago!"

The headmaster and others were surprised to see him.

"Mr. McCarthy, here you are."

Archie nodded slightly and almost ignored the headmaster.

He didn’t want to talk more to the people from the Wright family, since they had scolded his Natalia at

the birthday party before! ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The headmaster saw that Archie didn't want to talk to him, so he knew better than to walk any closer.

He could only smile apologetically and said, "I didn't know Mr. McCarthy would come. Please forgive

me, I should have welcome you myself."

Archie frowned.

Finally, he turned to look at the headmaster.

"Wasn’t it you who sent me the invitation? Why didn't you know I would come?"

The headmaster was speechless, so were all those onlookers.

Didn’t this man really know how hard it was to invite him here?

Over the years, he had accepted few invitations and attended few banquets. Didn’t he know even a

little about that?

Although everyone was complaining secretly, no one dared to say it out loud.

The headmaster apologized awkwardly, "Yes, yes, it's all our fault. Please forgive us..."

Archie raised his hand and interrupted him, "Well, let's get down to business! What do you two think of

my proposal before? If both of you agree, you may begin to draw right now. Anyway, it won't take you

much time to redraw your own work, right?"

Jessica's face turned pale.

Natalia kept a faint smile and answered decisively, "No problem. I agree with this proposal."

Then she even turned to glance at Jessica.

"I still remember what you said to the public at that time. You said it took you two months to finish it.

Such a painstaking work, so you won't forget how it was like, will you? It shouldn't be difficult to redraw

it now, right?"

Jessica's face got paler.

She glared at Natalia, as if she wanted to skin Natalia alive.

Victoria provoked her again, "Jessica, don't you dare to take a test? Well, if you feel guilty, just say it!

Giving up directly means that you admit you framed Natalia before. We don't want much. Just

apologize on your knees. Natalia, don't you think so?"

Natalia smiled.

"She should kneel down! Anyway, I have been misunderstood for five years."

The two played along with each other, as if the matter had really been settled.

Jessica was so angry that she almost spat out blood.

Noticing that she didn't look well, Shawn already had a rough idea what happened.

Although he couldn't believe that Jessica could do such a thing.

Anyway, he had to defend her.

"Jessica, are you feeling well? How about I take you to the hospital first?"

Jessica nodded.

She covered her belly with her pale hand.

"Mr. McCarthy, I agree with your proposal. But I'm not feeling well now. Can I postpone the competition

until tomorrow?"

Archie frowned.

Natalia said first, "No problem!"

Seeing that Archie was looking at her, she smiled and said, "After all, she is pregnant. It's no problem

for her to have a rest first. She can escape from it today, but she can’t tomorrow. It's okay. I'm not in a

hurry."

Some people around them couldn't help laughing.

Jessica's face changed fast as she heard this.

But since she could finally escape from it today, she managed to hide her anger and said in a low

voice, "Okay, let's compete tomorrow. Where should we meet tomorrow?"

"Just here! I'll wait for you here at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. You must come here."

"Don't worry. I will come."

Then she turned to Shawn and said, "Shawn, let's go first."

Shawn held Jessica away.

Now that they had left, the onlookers also left.

The headmaster finally had the chance to speak to Archie, so he wanted to get close to Archie. But

suddenly, he saw Archie walk to Natalia, took her hand and put it in his palm. Then Archie said

unhappily, "It's such an important day. You left me alone at home just to attend such a shabby party?

It’s boring here."

Natalia smiled awkwardly.

"Don't say that. After all... I've been studying here for three years."

"Huh! You don't have to have any feelings for such a school that couldn’t even prove your innocence,

even if you’ve been in here for thirty years."

As he spoke, he held Natalia's hand and walked out.

The headmaster felt embarrassed.

He hurried to catch up with them.

“Mr. McCarthy.”

Archie stopped and turned to look at him coldly.

"Mr. Wright, I have always thought that the Riverside High School, as the most famous school of Julio,

can at least tell right from wrong. But now it seems that I was wrong, but it doesn't matter. I'll protect my

woman myself. Hope that you can be more careful in the future."

Then he took Natalia's hand and left.

The headmaster's face darkened.

Be more careful?

What did Archie mean?

It was known to all that the Wright family was so influential in Julio just because it was supported by the

Kawn family in Eqitin.

As for the relationship between the Kawn family and the McCarthy family...

The headmaster’s face turned pale.

Natalia and Archie didn't get in the car immediately after they walked out of the hotel.

Noticing that her hand was a little cold, Archie went to a beverage shop nearby and bought her a cup of

warm milk. He asked her to hold it to warm her cold hands.

Then he took off the scarf she bought and put it on her neck.

He complained while putting it on her neck.

"It's so cold. You should have worn more. Aren't you afraid of the chill? Do you really think your body is

made of iron?"
