President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 295

Archie had basically expected Faye to give way.

After he agreed, they set a time down to go to the old household together at night.

Natalia would go back first to prepare the old lady and soften the blow a little.

That night, the three headed towards the McCarthy household.

Ariana heard what had happened and naturally blew her top.

Even before Faye arrived, she’d taken her temper out in the house, even breaking a few of her teacups.

Natalia mediated, “It’s good that Aunt Faye told us about this earlier. It’s not too late to turn back, so don’t get mad, Grandma. It was a gamble in the heat of the moment, and we can’t make things worse out of our own temper. It’s more important to calm down and deal with it.”

The old lady sighed.

“I know. Don’t worry. I’m just blowing off some steam here. What could I do with her, anyway? Send her over after I mull here for a while and I won’t yell at her.”

Promises were promises, but by the time Faye got here, the old lady couldn’t hold it in and yelled at her anyway.

Faye knew she didn’t have a leg to stand on, so she stood there and took it quietly.

Done yelling, Ariana’s wrath faded a bit, so she started sorting through the start and finish of what had happened.

It was really quite simple.

Anyone with regular intelligence could tell that Faye was getting scammed.

The knot came in where she didn’t know herself and didn’t leave any evidence. She’d gone over and spent her money of her own volition.

Unless they used unconventional methods, it would be hard to prove she was being scammed.

The McCarthy family might have had a lot of tools, but this was an abnormal period. And because being big also meant being a big target, they couldn’t move recklessly.

If Forrest could get a scene this big in Eqitin, he had to have someone at his back. From the information Brian had turned up, it showed he had connections to the Bissels, so it was possible they were backing him.

Nobody could afford carelessness when it involved the McCarthy and Bissel families.

Archie thought about it. “I can send someone to deal with it, but you had better not appear in Eqitin for now, Aunt. Just in case more complications happen.”

Faye objected right away.

“Are you trying to exile me, Archie? I’m not going anywhere; I’m staying in Eqitin!”

Ariana barked, “Quit it! Now’s the time to clean up your mess! You think anyone would be willing to take it off your hands?”

At the old lady’s roar, Faye lost her nerve.

After a while, she said grudgingly, “Then I want to go to Othua.”

“No!”

The old lady snarled, looking at her coldly.

“Don’t even think about it! I’ll reserve tickets tomorrow to send you over to your aunt in Lessia. I’ll send people to watch over you, so don’t even think about running around! Before this is done, you’re not going anywhere.”

Faye started shrieking with discontent.

“I’m in my thirties now, Mom, not three. Are you putting me on curfew like a child?”

Ariana scoffed.
