My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 84

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!

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.
