Clara took a breath and was ready to speak.
The whole thing was actually quite simple.
It was just because that night, back when Natalia was force back to the Dawson Mansion, she had challenged the authority of Clara in front of every one of the family and walked away like nothing had ever happened.
Clara knew Natalia would definitely go to the birthday party of Jessica, if not just to protect what her mother's left behind, but she also knew, Natalia would never do just whatever she asked obediently.
So she decided to take a step further, and solve the problem once and for good.
Everyone knew what kind of man Dennis had been.
Natalie would never ever get the chance to escape if Natalia fell into his hands.
As for Jessica, then, she could continue being Mrs. Miller worry-free.
More importantly, once they helped her keep her reputation intact, she would be able to keep her position in the entertainment industry.
And that meant, she could star in movies and dramas, and made money as she ever did, and Century Entertainment, which just signed a contract with her, would not suffer any losses.
How cunning! How vicious!
What a shameless scheme!
While she had roughly guessed that in her heart, Natalia still found the whole thing somewhat unbelievable after hearing her confession.
How could there even be such a shameless woman in this world!
The big palm holding her hand all the time, as if feeling her rage, suddenly squeezed gently.
She looked up slightly, and stared at the man's profile.
The curves, more delicate than those in paintings, were now shining with apparent determination and coldness under the light.
His deep and inky pupils were calm as ever but carried an indescribable power to soothe her heart.
For a reason even unknown to herself, she felt calm and the anger and irritation in her heart had faded away.
Archie toyed with her soft fingers and said in a soft voice, "If that's the case, then we have nothing more to say, we'll just call the police!"
Clara's face whitened sharply.
"Mr. McCarthy, I have done everything you asked, and told you the truth, why do you still call the police?"
Archie looked over, as if he was smiling, "I just promised you I would not burn any more companies. I have never said that I would not call the police."
Clara was speechless.
Archie added lightly, "I am a good citizen, and I will no doubt obey the lay. Now that someone should want to hurt my wife, what's wrong if I call the police?"
Everyone present was dumbstruck.
'Good citizen? Obey the law?' Brian thought, 'Who just asked me to all the dirty jobs? Who just ordered us to do the hostile takeovers? Who was using their companies to threaten these people?"
'Tsk-tsk! Jesus, you sure can do all those shameless things for your woman. I think you really got the potential to join those crazy tyrannies!"
Sure Archie won't know what Brian was thinking.
Even if he knew though, he would not care.
Who should take care of his woman, if not him?
Natalia's mouth could not help but curl up at him playing with her fingers.
She was long beyond the age to feel touched easily, but now for some unknown reason, she just felt so moved.
Especially when she found out the true intention of this man!
She did not say a word, and Archie simply raised his hand and gave the order.
Call the police!
The Dawsons were terribly panicky, but Dennis looked like he was fine with it.
For a rich playboy like he was, the police station had already been his second home and he did not have such thing as reputation to worry about.
